GLACIER FOUND IN MOUNTAIN.

Railroad Workers Blast Away Granite
 Wall and Come Upon Mass of Ice.
 A few weeks ago, while the section men of the Southern Pacific Railroad were blasting rock for ballast at quarry at the foot of Black Butte, one mile from Deitz Station, on the side of Mount Shasta, they struck a glacier concealed behind a seamless solid ledge of granite When the wall of rock was removed by dynamite blast of icy air burst out of the crevices like an explosion, and the workmen were almost benumbed by the shock and sudden change of temperature. The wall ofg ranite which concealed the 1 glacier was unbroken on the noun tain side, and has been used as a ! quarry for many years. It has furn- ished all the rock that has been used for ballest on that section of the Southern Pacific Railroad, and no one l ever suspected that there was any ] thing but earth behind it.
 Dr. T. c. Brenner, professor of geo. logy at Stanford University, was sent for at once. He removed more of the veneer and bored into the body of the glacier for sixty feet. He was not able to measure it's dimensions, because it extends under the rocky side of the mountain for an indefinite distance. There is no loose stone or earth, but a solid precipitous wall of rock conceal ing and supporting the glacier After several days of investigation. Dr. Bren- ner returned to Palo Alto and is now writing a report upon the phenome- non. People who saw him here tell me his theory is that large portion of the surface of Mount Shasta is un- derIaid with remnants of glaciers; that they have gradually become covered and concealed by soil and dislodged rock, and that forests have been grow ing over them for ages. but this glacier has not moved nor has it seen the ligh. of day since the granite cliff which concealed it was formed.
 On the north side of Mount Shasta, above the timber line, is a live glacier of large size, and in one of it's extinct craters is 8 lake--a small body of wa ter-that is perpetually frozen. The ice upon it does not melt away from year to year. Shasta is 14,444 feet high. In this latitude the timber line is about 5000 feet, and the snow line about 10,- 000 feet high. Shasta is always cover ed with snow. except for two or three months in the summer, when the south slope is sometimes cleared by the heat of the sun.
 f The people of this neighborhood have long had theory that the northern side of the mountain and much of the surrounding country are underlaid with ice, the relic of the glacial age. which has gradually become covered with soil and slit, and certain remarkable phenomena are thereby explained. In

WASHINGTON, d. CT, June 7.--Repre.
tentative Maynard and the principal on
GERS of the jamestown Exposition had a
conference to-day With the President
about the affairs of the enterprise. Mr..
Maynard introduced to the President, c.
Brooks Johnston, chairman of the board
OF governors Of the exposition, and Bar
ton Myers, chairman OF the ways and
means committee and auditor.
When General Lee was president Of the
exposition, he frequently consulted tho
President, who took a deep interest In
the enterprise, and the present exposition
officials desire to keep In touch with the
President In like manner. The board of
governors proposes to send abroad next
fall q representative to exploit the cx-
position, and It was decided to find
some one that would be acceptable abroad
and to the administration. From the
White House the Virginians went to the
State Department.
No Election Yet.
AS to the election of a president for
4 II was stated that nothing would be done
+ for a month or two. MS there 10 no imme-
{ diate necessity Of an election. General
Lees task OF interesting Legislatures in
the exposition and securing approprla-
lions for the exhibits was nearly finished
when he died No Legislatures are now
in session, and 1t will not be necessary
for the new president to take up this
work until fall. 1t Is declared that while

Representative Maynard said that he
would Introduce ut the opening OF Con-

Industrial exhibit at the exposition, an

that the wave OF economy that prevented
an appropriation for the expedition at the
recent session will not stand IN the way
OF success this year.
