Report Of Volcano station.

@NNEOAS SA NSNSeNAV h@e0eANAs
Technology Station, April 3, 1912.
The average depth of the lake for the
past week below the east resthouse was
81 feet.
The following are the daily lava
levels: March %, four clock, 270
feet; March %, three clock, 270 feet;
March 30, quarter past three O'Clock,
267 feet; March 81, eleven clock, 265
feet; April 2, three clock, 270 feet;
April 8, half-past three o'clock 264
feet.
AS may be seen the lake is somewhat
higher than it has been for the past
few weeks and considerably more
active. March % there was large
overflow at south cove, and west end
with n strong surface current towards
the east. The lake was very quiet at
three O'Clock, March 20, with nearly
its entire east end cooled over. At
| eleven o'clock that night, the lake had
changed and became very active, with
strong easterly flow. A large overflow
occurred over the north bank. The
new hole at the base Of the pinnacle
was throwing up lava March 30, at
three O'Clock. The lake was very in
active with easterly surface flow. In
half an hour the current changed and
| flowed from Old Faithful cove towards
the southwest, joining the easterly flow
and both running into south cove.
/ Some time in the morning there was n
large overflow at Old Faithful cove.
The lake was very active Mt eleven
O'Clock, March 81, with surface cur
rent rising in the middle and flowing
east and west, Tremendous overflows
all around last night and early this
morning the lake is higher and Old
Faithful cove has changed in shape.
AT ten minutes past eleven this
morning large overflow occurred
| just west of south cove Ten minutes
later the new hole broke open with q
little explosion, throwing rocks into
the air and became very active. The
lava poured out in large quantities,
filing up the basin around it until it
rose to the level of the lake.
Old Faithful cove blew its lid Off
April 2, and thereafter spouted lava.
! It also had flame burning from it's
| top, similar to the one of two weeks
ago. All of the overfiows on the south
side glowed red through their cracks.
At three O'Clock p. M, March 8, the
lake was on level with its banks with
continuous overlooking on all sides.
The lava flows on the north side were
glowing red in their cracks. At five
O'Clock the lava sunk about five feet.
The average interval of Old Faithful
was forty-two seconds.
Very respectfully,
+. B. DODGE.
