BELIEVED VOLCANO
 NEAR PETERSBURG

That a slumbering volcano may be within comparatively few miles of Petersburg is ad- vanced by the Petersburg Re- port, which says that smoke has been seen issuing from the vicinity of the La Conta glac- fer. Ed Preuschoff, fox ranch CT. is said to have been told about the smoke, but put it down as being fog or mist, but on his way to town recently he distinctly saw a spiral column of black smoke issuing from what he took to be one of the Sisters mountains, in the vic- inity of La Conta glacier. The country is said to be verit- able land of mystery. The natives are supersitious about 1t. 1t is said that rich samples of wire gold have been found by the few prospectors who have penetrated the outer
 edges of the district, but not one of them could ever be pre- vailed upon to return. Tales are told of deep, mysterious
 rumblings, of deadly vapors and hissing geysers. These have not been taken seriously
 by the more practical, yet the
 Thunder Mountain, the Devil 3
 Thumb and the La Conta glac- fer country are said to form
 one of the least known dis
 tricts of Alaska.
