Old Mt. Rainier
Emitg Steam and
Hot Gasses
LONGMIRE, Wn. 1R — Old Mt.
Rainier, dormant 14,410-foot vol
cano, has started emitting steam
and hot gasses up near the 12,000
foot level.
Rut University of Washington
seismologist Dr. Frank Neumann
said there was no evidence of
any connection with a sharp earth
quake which apparently centered
50 to 75 miles to the southwest
Friday night, in the Mt. St. Helens
area.
Rainier National Park Supt.
Preston Macy said the new fissure
and escaping gases at that eleva
tion was unusual.
“I wish I could use some of
that steam for heating,” he joshed.
Macy’s headquarters are here
at the base of the peak. The park
again tills summer had more than
a million visitors.
The summit crater has many
such vents for escaping steam and
gases with rocks too hot too touch.
Tfae new fissure developed in
August after a slide tumbled sev
eral thousands tons of 'rock from
the northeast comer of Gilbral
tar Rock onto Cowlitz Glacier,
Macy said.
It is in an extremely inaocesi
ble area and no one is known to
have visited it. Steam has been
sighted frequently from Paradise
Valley, four miles distant by air
line down at the 5,500-foot eleva
tion.
