Wireless Station Out of
Commission,
CORDOVA. Alaska. June 7. Volcanic
ash Is falling thickly over this city,
showing that the heavy exploelona
heard In the mountains all last night
were caused by an Alaskan volcano In
eruption. The time between the ex
plosions and the fall of the ash here
was so short that It Is believed the
volcano Is In the Redoubt or the Illam
na Mountalna in tha Cook Inlet coun
try. Th cloud effect throughout thl sec
tion of Alaska wa unusual all day,
dull clouds hanging low with a south
west wind.
The explosions 'were first heard last
night at 7 o'clock and continued with
out Interruption until after 1 o'clock
thl morning. Th blasts were heavy
and In quick succession. The Navy
wireless station tried to communicate
with the stations to the westward to
get definite Information of conditions
In the Cook Inlet country but the static
conditions of the atmosphere made it
Impossible to work with any of the
Alaska stations.
Th steamship Mariposa, which ar
rived today from Seattle, reported that
she heard th eruption while between
Cap St. Ella and Cape Hlnchinbrook.
The Marlposa'a wireless was also out
of commission because of the atmos
pheric conditions.
Because of the distance the ash must
have traveled In the air, the eruption
Is believed to have been one of the
most violent In the history of Alaska
volcanoes.

tion, taxes would be levied on a value
