THE bUMPTER MINhR
WONDERFUL
:" CRATER LAKE
Water Two Thousand Feet
Deep in an Extinct Vol
cano of The Gas
cade Range.
PETITION.
Crater Luke is located on tbe sum
mlt of tbe Cascade range of jiiuuu
IhIiib iu southern OieRou, tbree mi lea
from Jnckousville nud Fort Klamath
wagou road, from which h road e.
teuds to Its rim. It was discovered
by Mr. V. A. Illllmau aud h party of
prospectors, June 12th, 1853, aud
named Deep Ulue Lake, although
some of tbe pnrty preferred to call it
Mysterious Lake. It wbs subse
quently known as Lake Mystery,
Lake Majesty, Hole in the Ground,
ud, finally, ou August 4, 1800, a
party from Jacksonville named it
Crater Lakethe most natural name
it could bear.
It rests iu tbe ceuter of a great
crater mountain, tbe top of which
has disappeared, leaving a cauldron
4,000 feet deep aud Ave aud one-half
miles Iu diameter. The lake Itself
is 100(1 feet deep, this Alls the
cauldrou about half full. Near shore
ou tbe southwesterly side, is a cir
cular land, or cinder conn, 840 feet
high, knowu as Wizard Island, In
tbe top of which is an extinct crater
ninety feet deep aud 500 feet In
diameter, called the Witch's Caul
dron. Near shore on the south'
easterly side, Is a jagged rock, knowu
as Pbautuni Ship. These are tbe
only islands in tbe lake. Tbe water
is remarkably clear, a six-inch plate
showing to a depth of ninety-two
feet. When looked upon from tbe
surrounding cliffs. it color is of the
deepest possible blue, except close to
ebore, where it blends iuto a rich
turquoise. Seen from a boat, tbe
blue remaius as deep as before, but
Hssumes a brighter hue. In the ab
sence of wiud, surrounding objects
are reflected as iu a plato glass mirror.
Tbe shell of a mountain iu which
Crater Lake rests was uot always a
shell, but once towered pioudly iu
the heavens as a giant among moun
tains. It belched forth fire and lava
for u time, then settled within itself,
and all that portion above timber
lino, or 8,000 feet elevation, disap
peared. Wheio it wont noliody
knows, but it is estimated by men of
science that seventeen cubic miles
disappeared, leaving h vast smoking
cauldron, 4.000 feet deep, and large
enough lo hold Manhattan Isluud.
The base of this great mountain
remains, aud until 189U bore no
name. Ou August 2 let of that year,
with appropriate ceremonies, Miss
Fay Fuller, on tbe part of tbe Ala
zamas, christened it Mouut Mazama,
which name has been accepted by tbe
government, and appears ou all offi
cial maps.
Some Idea of the importance of
Mount Mazama may be obtained by
consideiing the extent of drainage
radiating from it. In this region are
tbe sources of the Willamette, Rogue,
Umpqua, Deschutes and Klamath
rivers, thus forming tbe greatest
center for Important river sources
on the PaciQo coast. Exchange.
