CUV Of SEATTLE REPORTS ACTIVE VOLCANO
The City of Seattle, which arrived in port at 2:80 this
afternoon, brings news of a sensational character in regard
to last night's earthquake. vVhile passing the southeast
end of Sullivan Island, on the west shore of Lynn canal,
Capt. C. J. O'Brien and Officer TalFe noticed black smoke
arising from a mountain peak 20 to 25 miles inland. The
smoke was first observed at 10 a. m. The vessel arrived
two hour's later at Haines and at that place first learned of
last night's earthquake. Capt. O'Brien was the first one to
see the smoke arising from the mountain, and it is his opin
ion that it was caused by an extinct volcano which has be
come active. The mountain from which the smoke comes
is, according to the ship's officers, who took observations,
about 58 degM 58 min. north: 185 long , 50 min. west, and
is probably in the same range of .mountains as Mount
Young and Snow Dome. Mount Young is 5670 feet high.
The fact that great volumes of smoke are pouring out of
the mountain and that all the peak? in that locality are
glacier peaks, gives rise to the belief an extinct volcano has
become active.
