Show Sinking Hill Puzzles Canada HALLONQUIST, SASK.-There's SASK.-There's a sinking hill in this district, dis-trict, forty miles southeast of Swift Current, and it seems to be disappearing fairly fast. One old timer said that in 1909 the hill was normal except that livestock shunned it. In 1911 the hill began to crack up and portions sank from six to eight inches. Now a valley three-quarters of a mile long and 50 feet deep has devel oped. One engineer surmised that a vast bed of quicksand may lie underneath the ground. Others suspect underground water erosion. |
