Woodsmen arriving at Caribou
Maine, say that Bald mountain, a
small steep hill in the Tiboque val
ley, only few miles from the New
Brunswick line, has disappeared. In
its place a small lake now exists. 1t
is believed the mountain dropped out
Of sight during the earthquake of
March 81 and that the tremor which
then shook New England really had
its birth in the Maine woods. Bald
mountain was an odd shaped cone
with extremely steep sides and was
seldom explored. The general belief
is that 1t was the crater Of an ex-
tinct volcano.
