Show w MAY BE NEW VOLCANOES INTERIOR OF ALASKA. Seattle, Wash., June 11. The ashes that aro falling in Fairbanks, Alaska, and Dawson, Yukon Territory, in the Yukon valley, far from tho coast, are believed to havo com from a now volcanic centor in tho Alaska range. Tho winds that blow from the ocean encounter high ranges of mountains moun-tains before reaching the Yukon. The same mountain ranges would prevent ashes from tho coast volcanoes, which are all near tldowater, from reaching the interior. Persons arriving at Fairbanks from tho Mount Hayes country, and who had not been Informed of tho outbreak in the Aloutiah range, roported cannonading can-nonading as of a volcano in the vicinity vi-cinity of Mount Hayes. These sounds could not havo been blown from ttie coast. No word has been received today from the revenue cutters and the wireless is still out of business. Probably Prob-ably tho next news from Kodlak will bo brought to Seward by steamer. |
