BELIEVED VOLCANO
NEAR PETERSBURG
That a slumbering volcano
may be within a comparatively
few miles of Petersburg is ad
vanced bv the Petersburg Re
port, which say3 that smoke
has been seen issuing from the
vicinity of the La Conta glac
ier. Ed Preuschoff, fox ranch
er, 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
i inity of La Conta glacier. The
j country is said to be a verit
able land of mystery. The
natives are supersitious about
it. It is said that rich samples
of wire gold have been found
by the few prospectors who
i have penetrated the outer
| edges of the district, but not
lone 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’s
| Thumb and the La Conta glac
ier country are said to form
one of the least known dis
tricts of Alaska.

■accordingly. They returned to
j Sitka a few days later and de
jmanded to be served, but the
1 court ruled that the returns
