AN ANCIENT VOLCANIC
ERUPTION IN ALASKA.
From Geological Survey Bulletin:
Every traveler on the upper Yukon
Rivci has noted a conspicuous white
bed, 4 to 6 inches in thickness, that
occurs on the river bank.- I his is
made up of volcanic ash derived from
a volcano located in the northern
margin of the St. Elias Range more
than 100 miles to the south. Though
geologically speaking the material is
of recent age, yet it was probably
erupted 1,400 years ago. There are,
of course, no historical records of this
eruption, but in the course of explora
tions in Alaska much has beer, learned
about the distribution and thickness
of the material ejected. It origin
ally covered an area of over 140,000
square miles and some of it was car
ried over 450 miles from the volcano.
The deposit varies in thickness from
.'>00 feet near the volcano to an inch
or two at the margin of the area cov
ered by it. A rough estimate indi
cates that over 10 cubic miles of ma
terial was ejected at the time of the
eruption. During the eruption of
Katmai volcano in southwestern
Alaska in June, 1012, about 5 cubic
miles of ash was ejected, and about
the same amount fell from the
Krakatoa eruption of 1882. This
Yukon eruption is therefore t om par
able in intensity with some of the
larger eruptions of historical time.
W. E. ROWE IN FAIRBANKS.
FAIRBANKS.— W. E. Rowe, the
husband of the woman who was mur
dered near Little Eldorado, arrived
from the coast on the Sheldon auto
mobile. Until recently he has been
wonting in the quartz mines at Ju
neau, having been sent for by Theo
dore Knutson, a brother of his wife.
It ’s probable that Mr. Knutson, who
was appointed special administrator
of his sister’s estate, will turn ovei
the management of the estate to Mr.
Rowe sometime today.—News-Miner.
