STARTLING DISCOVERY MADE ON
FAMOUS VOLCANO ON AL.
ASKA PENINSULA
(Mount Pavloif, on the Alaska pen
insula, which exploded three years
ago Christmas Eve, is apparently
tracked all the way from the tip of
ithe crater right down to the base
of the 10,000 foot peak, according
to Alex Bolam, guide and big game
hunter who returned to Seward yes
terday with head guiide Andy Simons
and Frank Revelle, from the 'West
ward where they have just complet
f ea a mosi successful Drown Dear
hunt with E. I. Garrett and John W.
Eddy, prominent Seattle capitalists.
The party had their base camp on
the Bering Sea side near the base of
the mountain at close hand. The
crater is visible from this side but
not from the Pacific side as the crat
er proper is on the side of the peak,
but close to the top. From it emits
vast columns of smoke and steam
from the crater’s lip; extending clear
down the slope to the table-lands be
low, a high, blackened ridge runs.
At intervals along this ridge seven
or eight vents are discernible the last
of which is on the flats at the base
of the mountain. From these vents
smoke and steam are constantly em
itting.
Guide Bolam is inclined to believe
that the mountain was cracked all
the way down, but it may be poss
ible, he said, that a tunnel of lava
has formed in one of the canyons
from which the smoke and fumes are
released from the vents flowing
from the crest. Just below the crat
er there is another large portion of
the mountainside which appears to
be crumbling in. Mr. Bolam now
wishes that he had taken the oppor
tunity of exploring the volcano at
even closer range and determined
more accurately as to what has tak
en place.
FIRST BEAR SOW WITR
FOUR CUBS IS VIEWED
The unusual wras discovered on the
recent Westward hunt of Andy Si
mons, Alex Bolam and Frank Revelle
when they sarw a brown bear sow
with four cubs. Ordinarily one or
two cubs is a common sight; a bear
with three cubs as a rarity, but a
sow with four cubs is something
which none of the oldtimers in this
or the Westward regions had ever
seen or heard of before until the
guides brought in their report. They
had a perfect viewr of the mother
bruin and her little ones which she
wras teaching to cross a river in the
Pavlof volcano region.
