sAkER's CRATER ACTIVE.
vapor May Be Seen Rising From inc
Mountain at Times.

MOunk&iN ~ '"f~~
Bellingham, Wash, Aug. lS.-stor
lea Of smoke seen arising from Mount
Raker,s snow-crowned dome following
the earthquake in this territory ias'
winter do not appear 30 far-fetched'
following the Investigations made by
the Mazamas of vents in the crater OF
the huge extinct volcano. Secretary
John A. Lee, who returned to this city
today, declares that at a favorable
hour in the early morning he has no
doubt but that the vapor could easily
be seen from this city, so miles away,
with good pair of field glasses.
The Events" in the crater appeared
especially active this year to some OF
the Mazamas. Secretary Lee, how
ever, who assembled the mountain In
1900 and again in 1895, concludes that
on the whole there is not any increase
in the activity of sulphurous gases
blowing out of tie so-called vents. "
"The actual crater of the mountain, "
said Mr.. Lee, lis that portion lying
between the secondary peak and the
main peak. 1t is easy to see that the
peaks originally constituted the north
and south sides of the crater rim. The
easterDy and westerly sides have been
broken and crumbled away by the ac-
tion of weather, thus leaving the val
ley or so-clalled saddle between in
between.
Zone of the active vents is situated
at the easterly end of this depression,
and the other at the westerly end. The
east vent is apparently by far the most
active. the westerly one consisting at
his time merely of cracks and assures
n the snow and ice through which the
yapors escape. The west vent, how
,ver, consists of a hole extending down
nto the snow to the porus rocks be-
leath. 1t is perhaps 20 to 80 feet in
Iiameter. The vapor puffs out inter
nittently, rising up in dense clouds,
md the snow is crusted with sulphur
eposits. am inclined to believe that |
most of the visible vapor is merely |
team arising from the oyerheated |
ocks, though the gases sometimes are
lmost overpowering.
