Eureka, Siskayou County, Calf. Sept. 2.-Preston Peak, mountain 1900 feet high situated in remote timbered section of this country broke into volcanic activity shortly after noon today, emitting a column of dense black smoke that rose 500 feet and shroured the surrounding coun- try.
 Confirmation of the eruption was made here by Lewis Carrigan, deputy U. $. Forest supervisor, who received the reports from two different look out stations in the immediate vicinity of the peak.
 No warning was manifested by the peak before it burst into smoke.
 Description of the phenomena tele- phoned by the lookout observers agreed that a column of dense black smoke shot into the air and then slowly settled over the lower foot hills.
 Second One In U. s. A.
 If Preston Peak proves to be an active volcano, such as it's present action indicate it will be the second of it's kind in continental U. s.
 The other volcano is Lasson peak about 150 miles southeast, and became active May 30, 1914, and has since intermittently erupted smoke, lava and steam.
 The peak is near the Oregon bound ary and about 35 miles from the Paci- fife ocean.
 A Different Version.
 Possibility that the reported volcan- ic eruption on Preston peak, Siskiyou count, is in reality forest fire, is in- dicated in a report from forest ran- ger on Lookout Mountain, fifteen miles from Crescent City, who says:
 Slopes Mount Preston ablaze.
 "No volcano"
 According to the Orleans lookout, the explosion was violent and hurled rock and lava several hundred feet in- to the air.
 The smoke cloud from the peak cov- cred a radius of five miles, the ob- server reported.
 Preston Peak is 7,30O feet high.
