CALIFORNIA DUE TOERUPTIN'80

Scientist Finds Volcano Active Every 65th Year.

BY DAVID DIETZ

= Times Science Editor If you would like to see a volcano erupting, make a note to visit California in 1980. Lassen Peak, the last active volcanic peak in the | United States—excluding Alaska | and Hawaii—is likely to let go again | in that year. This prediction is made by Ar-| thur Holmes, park ranger of the | U. S. National Park Service, upon | the basis of statistical studies of | volcanoes carried out by the late | Dr. Omori, professor of seisomology | at the Imperial University of Tokyo. | Dr. Omori found that, many of | the volcanoes around the rim of} the Pacific became active approximately every 130 years with periods of less violent action at the half-

Finds Volcano Follows Cycle

. R. H. Finch. who is the resident volcanologist of the U. S. Geological Survey at Lassen Peak, points out that Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii has been found definitely to follow this 130-year and.65-year cycle. Lassen Peak, located in northern California in Lassen Volcanic National Park, erupted last in the years from 1914 to 1917, the eruptions reaching their greatest violence in 1915. Mr. Holmes arrives at 1980 for the next eruption by adding 65 years to 1915. Prior to 1914, Lassen Peak was regarded as an extinct volcano and | the U. S. Forest Service used the peak as a site for a fire lookout station which was built in 1912. Fortunately, the first eruption in 1914 took place early in the season, \ on May 30, before the lookouts had | moved in for the summer. So while | the station was blown to bits, no one | was injured. Two major eruptions of Lassen Peak took place in 1915, devastating a large area on the north side of the peak. In May, 1915, molten lava welled up in the vent and filled the crater. As a result, Lassen Peak 1s comparatively flat-topped today.

Smaller Eruptions Noted

There were dozens of smaller eruptions after May, 1915, but their intensity* continually: diminished and the last one took place in 1917.) While the peak is inactive today. there remain plenty of indications of volcanic possibility. There are many cracks and vents from which live steam escapes with an intimidating roar. There are also geyserlike fountains of boiling water and steam. Clouds of sulphurous steam always hang over these areas. The names which have been given to these areas will serve to indicate their character: Sulphur Works, the Devil's Kitchen, Bumpas Hell, said to have been named after the exclamation of an old miner named Bumpa, who accidentally poked his foot into a pool of hot mud; Steamboat Springs, the Boiling Lake and Terminal Geyser. Past history seems to support the 65-year cycle for Lassen Peak. By substracting 65 frgs 1915. we arrive at the year 1850, when settlers were just moving into the Sacramento Valley, some 50 miles to the west. There are records that both white settlers ‘and Indians reported seeing the sky lit up at night with a brilliant red glow.
