| TACOMA.—Year after year, dur
S ing the winter time, there have been
C reports of earth shocks felt from
■: Mount Rainier, in the Rainier Xa
’ tional Park,—reports received by
■ pioneers of this section with more
or less skepticism, but at last the
mystery of the “shocks" has been
solved.
The soiuton of the mystery follow
ed careful observations made by
winter caretakers in Paradise Inn,
the hotel in Paradise valley. There
observations showed that tb
came only in the winter time and
after heavy snowfall and storms on
the mountain summit. Mount Rain
ier itself has been known as an ex
tinct volcano, although summit
climbers are witnesses of the fact
that there are still some pretty
lively rumblings and spoutings in
progress in the mountain’s old crater.
In fact, steam and gasses are ir
many places ejected with such force
that very considerable areas within
the old crater are kept free of snow
and ice. while at places near the
summit the rock surface is still hot.
- When the hotel was erected three
years ago the first reports of earth
shock were soon verified. At that
elevation—5,500 feet—they bee ime
i very real to the men who stayed
: in the snow fields throughout the
‘winter. In December. 1916. the first
| shock was reported by the watch
I man. who said that the floor of the
|n “felt like a tremendous ocean
j wave was passing under it; timbers
creaked dishes rattled and the sen
sation was terrifying." The severe
shocks repeated that winter, re-oc
curred from time to time during the
next two winters.
But there was never even the sug
gestion of a tremor during the sum
I mer months, and therein lav the
; mystery.
I ft was discovered, according to
j park officials,, in * very na’ura! wa'
The new snow of storm? was
•‘by terrific winds into cram.' vc’U
I until these openings were c .mpletely
closed. In that way steam ejection
) was temporarily stopped. Once the
) vents were closed, the snow and ice
■ packed rapidly upon the top and
J effectively shut in the gasses of the
- j old volcano for a time. Gradually
e the increasing steam pressure be
i' came great enough to again force
’ open the old crater vents through
the snow cap. literally blowing the
e plugs out. Thus a full fledged ‘■'.mh
. quake level, which is just one-third
e ’ the height of the mountain.
Park officials have said nothing of
) t the earth shocks, waiting their ex
planation. But with the solving of
• the mystery this winter, confirming
e previous observations, they felt a
load had been taken off their minds
e —relieving a fear that possibly the
e mountain’s winter sno-ing meant to
1, convey a deeper meaning than they
! cared to think of.
