Tho smoke became so dense on the 12th as to cause the sun, which was high at the time, to look like ball of fire. Large puffs of smoke, tinged with red, were discernible above the range of mountains some 100 miles from Kennecott About seven years ago, Mt. Wrangell was active and threw out just such ash as is fall ing now. The volcano is 14,O00 feet high.-Nome Nugget.
