Mineral, Calm spite of the
declarations from Redding, Chico

miles distant that the glare OF flames
could be seen distinctly in the sky
above the summit, those who have
been nearest to the crater of Mount
Lassen when it was in actual erup.
tion have at no time seen flames, lava
or incandescent stones.
Z. f. Phelps and F. A. Tipple, who
were within 200 feet of the great gush
OF ashes and steam that almost killed
Lance Graham, saw no flames. Gra-
ham, before he was rescued, was
buried an inch deep in ashes and in
jured.
AT Manzanita lake, about four and
half miles from the crater, no flames
were seen. The belief there is that
the glare in the sky was the reflection
OF the dying sunset, shut off by the
outline of the mountain, but still WIS.,

out in the eruption.
