Upheaval of Land Near Mt Baker.

TACOMA, WASH, April GA tremendous
upheaval of land is reported to have occurred
on Noeksack River, ten miles west of Mount
Baker. on March 81 What had once been
valley and bed Of the Nooksack River is now
a hill seventy feet high. The noise Of the up
heaval was heard at Hamilton, ten miles away.
A report of the occurrence was brought to this
city by D. P. Simons. Jr., who was in the
neighborhood at the time looking over timber
lands.
Simons says that he heard the noise of the
upheayal, which sounded like the heavy rum
bling of thunder. He and his party were very
much disturbed and began an investigation.
They joruneyed in the direction from which
the sound came and were verymuch astonish-
ed to see a huge mound of earth, nearly
quarter of a mile square, where formerly there
had been a valley. In enc place the mound
was seventy feet high. Nooksack River had
been turned from its course and ran around
the side of the bill. Nearly in the centre of
this high bank Of earth was a large lake. A
forest bad formerly occupied the ground. and
trees which had escaped destruction stood up
through the water. There were cracks here
and there in the mound large enough to en-
gulf a horse and wagon. There was o smell
Of sulphur in the air, and it is Simons' inn
preston that the disturbance was caused by
gases underneath the mountain.
Another theory ventured by settlers is that
the disturbance is nothing more than land
slide from Mount Baker. This, however,
could scarcely he possible, judging from the
oder of sulphur and the cracks which ap-
peared. William Hadley, trapper, who has
miles of snares in the vicinity and whose
wrecked cabin now stands in the centre Of
the mound, was absent at the time Of the up
heavaI and thus probably escaped death.
His cabin was spijf in two Simons says he
