GIVES REASONS FOR
LASSEN'S ACTIVITIES

]. L. Stafford. in the Winnemucca
Silver State. gives the following the,
r ory for the activity of Lassen volca.
no:
Perhaps no section of country in the
United States is commanding the de.
gree of attention that is now focused
upon Mt. Lassen and its immediate
territory. For upward of a year Las.
sen peak has been more or less active
and many theories have been advanced
as to the cause of the present con-
ditions of activity. Being so far in
land the real cause has been difficult
to determine, but after a visit to the
volcano some two weeks ago, the writ
er was forced to the conclusion that
the whole trouble was caused from
the flooding of thousands of acres of
land in the vicinity Of the belching
thrown back over a vast area OF an
cient lava flow by a large dam and has
evidently come in contact with a fis-
sure of sufficient size to allow water
enough TO come in contact with con-
ditions at depth (under ground) which
would naturally cause an upheaval,
the weakest point-which proved to
be Mt. Lassen-giving way to the
strain.
1t is possible that the water went
to sufficient depth and reach the
molten mass known to exist beneath
the earth's crust. but judging from a
partial analysis of the ashes, it would
seem more probable that the trouble
was brought on through contact of
water with large lime dixie that was
burned during some earlier period
this coming together would slack the
lime, generate steam, and If the body
of lime and water were of sufficient
size, power enough would generate to
split the whole globe in two.
The power of unslacked lime has
been known for a great many years,
in fact, long years before giant powder
came into use unslacked lime was used
for blasting. 1t was also used for kill
ing fish, by corking tightly in a glass
bottle after adding a little water and
tying weight to bottle it was thrown
In TO the water and after the explosion
the dead fish would come to the top
Why the lime theory appeals the
strongest, is from the fact that the
ashes contain about per cent of lime
carbonates. This OF course will be very
beneficial as fertilizer where a suffi-
cient amount falls upon the ground
Ten per cent of Iron also showed up in
the analysis and per cent of alumina
The principal part of the balance is
made up of silica.
Undoubtedly the eruptions would
cease should the flooded territory be
drained. Or, on the other hand, It may
soon become exhausted If conditions
are left as they are.
This is not intended as a scientific
treatise by any means. but may prove
OF interest to many readers.
