17th there were no fewer than twentysix shock some persons say twenty seven shocks Some of these were quite start- ling ¬ Jolts At one time on the night of the 17th tho earth seemed In almost I a constant tremor for about an hourjlt a slight shivering with a abut every ten or twenty minutes that everything snap nnd crack Tht shocks are not now so but nf them are about BH fruent the lealleot of the first series and of much About 10 oclock on the night of the 2th we were favored with quite a heavy tremor of the longdrawnout kind There were several halnl sways mid scores of peo- ple ¬ were this stomach Those who experienced title sensation nf nausea say It was the same as seaeickncss They I felt tliemeelves unsteady on their legs sow pictures on the walls and other objects swaying In adisagreeahle way and then f und themselvns badly unsettled in their department of tho Interior When the shocks first began 1 wits nf the opin- ion ¬ that they came from the rnrthquaky region down In Inyo about Owens Lake but it now appears that the disturbance Is purely local The shock have not been felt Itenu on the north and only a few of then n arum City to the southward It would seem therefore that the selsmlo focus Is II the depths directly beneath tho city under routs of Muuut Da- vidson ¬ Above us on Mount Davidson Is a largo ex- tinct ¬ volcano crater and It Is not unlikely that the jolting and thumplnl we now feel Is down l beneath us at the 1 point where the pipe of this old crater connects with the fiery regions that He belrr and near the crust of our iniichalle anti wicked little planet On the niwht of thin 17thwben the shocks began to colon every live or ten minutes I thought of the old crater nnd expected a tremendous- jolt would presently conic tu be followed by the deafening surface bellowing of a tlrstclans volcanic eruption I was very glad to know that the old crater was nn the opposite eldo nf the summit of thin peak nnd that any sramlf burning lava that might betomlttil forth would take their course dun n the western slope of the mountain ton Washon Lake Instead uf pouring cnMeni slope through the streets of tho city I fuillid the next day that many other uld timers hail thought of what might possibly occur up n the old t olcanlc vent All hail consoled Ihemelve nlth the thought that the 1 Ia gudown sest side of the mountain but not n few ha feared that wo might rind the ashes and gases rather disagreeable on tile east side- I write In momentary expectation of feeling a Jolt We had two last night one of which camo near upsetting my lamp Mount Davidson may yet take the lead of Mount Rainier as a volcano I have In my possession a photographs of our old crater taken about three years ago and since the seUinlc demonstrations here have been critically examining It It has a very ugly look I might easily b mistaken for Kllauea lwl people have dropped political matters and taken to a vigorous discussion of nelsmlo possibilities The conclusion arrived at Is that wo are rather unpleasantly situated should there occur any very violent subterranean commotion- or surface outburst Wo are hanging on tne slope of Mount Davidson by our eyebrows 1 to speak with the ground beneath us to the east- ward ¬ mined out to the depth uf between VOOO and i00u feet and there might come such a lifter as would cause the town to slide down Into
