LAsSEN VOLCANO NOW SAFE
California Peak Has Spent Most Of
Its Energy investigators Say.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Lassen vol
cano, California, spent rost of its
energy in its violent eruptions of last
May, according to reports received by
the forest service, and it is believed
there is little likelihood Of further
destructive outbreaks. Since the up
heavals of May 90 and %, the vol
cano has been under the observation
of officers of the Lassen national for
est, in which the peak stands, and
for the last month a volcanologist of
the U. S. Geological Survey has been
making scientific study Of the noun
tain.
The investigations have confirmed
the opinion that the eruption of two
months ago, when river C mud was
blown out of the north side of the
crater and down Hat creek with con-
siderable damage to government and
private property, was caused by the
melting of the snow on the peak
the snow water running into the era
ter and, being converted by the mol
ten lava into steam. Although ii is
possible that the volcano is simply
conserving its energy for another
outbreak, the indications are, accord
ing to the government voicanologist
on the ground, that no farther erup-
tions are likely to occur, at least
until next spring, when another in
flux of snow water may cause a slight
disturbance.
The first authentic report OF the
damage done by the erupt;ons of last
May shows that early reports were
greatly exaggerated. Forest rangers
who have made a careful survey of
the neighborhood OF the volcano and
have made several ascents to the rim
of the crater, report that the total
extent of government land rendered
useless by mud and lava is somewhat
less than 1000 acres. and that of the
privately owned land rendered use
less less than l 900 acres. comprising
all told the grazing range of about
220 cattle. In addition. by reason of
temporary injury to other areas,
range has had to be provided for
about 500 cattle which we're grazed
near the mountain. Inasmuch as
some 1900 cattle and 10000 sheep
are grazed on the Lassen forest every
year, this curtailment Of the range,
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1915-08-11

formed a splendid agricultural COM
munity as a nucleus for the develop
ment of the entire project which will
require several months to complete.
The present opening is therefore gen
orally regarded as Offering an excel
lent opportunity for the man who
wishes to exercise his homestead
right and still obtain a desirable and
productive tract of land within few
miles of towns where the!a are mod
ern advantages, such as schools,
churches, stores, telephone service,
and good markets
The crop returns on the Belle
Fourche project have been very good
and an encouraging feature of the
trend Of its development is the in
crease in stock and the tendency to
engage in hogs. Agricultural eX-
perts have long pointed out the ad-
vantages of this project for hog rails
ing and dairying. With recognized
markets for merchantable products
and the facilities for producing al.
falia of fine quality, the settlers
seem to have needed this advice and
their splendid results are now sery.
ing as an impetus for further prog.
ress along these lines. Persons who
appreciate the desirability of eugag-
ing in alfalfa culture, hogs and dairy
ing can find nowhere in the west a
section which will offer better facili-
ties for specializing along these lines

right a permanent water right.
That the better lands embraced
within the public domain are rapidly
diminishing seems evident from a
statement made relative TO this and
other districts by Albert y Leonard
settlement agent of the Z. S. recla-
nation service at Chicago, who adds
that the Belle Fourche project
should attract desirable element
who realize the necessity Of securing
land as an economic pernanency.
