Growing Tree On Flank of
' Mt. Mazama Sealed In Hot
Pumice and Ash Before
Mountain Top Blown Off
CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK,
Ore. (Bpl.) An event algnlflesnt la
tbe geologlo history of Crster lake, a
carbonised tree, believed to have been
coverM by volcanic material as a re
sult ot explosive action, ni discov
ered recently along the Inner rim ot
the like. The discover? 1 regaraea
as climax to long efforts, under
the direction of Park Natursilst P. a
Ubbey, to locate aucb material with
in the Immediate area of the rim at
concrete evidence that explosion was
an Important factor In tbe destruc
tion of Mt. Mazama, the remain ot
which now serve a a bed for Crater
lake.
Alive When Covered.
The discovery waa made by Ranger
Naturallit Albert B. Long, while at'
algned to research study, and wu
uncovered by Mr. Long ana park
Naturaiut Llbbey. Only a very small
portion of the specimen was exposed
when first located. The log, as un
earthed, was .53 inches In length, ISV4
Inches In diameter at the top and
1SH Inches at the base. It waa
tending In an almost upright posi
tion. Indicating the tree was alive at
the time It waa covered.
The . lower section of the tree. In'
eluding large branching roots, wu
not carbonised and large cavities re
suited from the decomposition of the
roots and stump. Tbe tree wu com
pletely carbonised from' the top for
a distance of 44 Inches, at the end
of which a break occurred with a
cavity of lOVi lnchea resulting from
the slipping of the , lower section.
Below the break, 814 Inches of car
feonlzed log wu found, grading into
uncarbonlzed material which pro
gressively became more decomposed.
The roots, now decomposed, were or
flnlally Imbedded In a layer of gla
cial debris, dipping at an angle of
11 degrees to the west, with layers
on top reposing at different degrees.
Important Find,
The location of a carbonized log
within the existing crater slope, with
ft stump and roots uncarbonlsed and
partially decomposed, presents evi
dence of great importance. After
careful study, Park Naturalist Llbbey
bu oome to the conclusion that ero
sion ot the Inner, rim slope hu shift
ed the crest of the rim outward and
that at the time of entombment, the
tree wu growing on the radiating
alope of old Mazama. Cool puralco
end pumlclte tumbled down the slope
above to cover the roots and bue
of the tree, followed by aubsequent
covering of hot voloanlo ejects, pum
ice and ash, settling around the tree
so fut that air wu excluded and
combustion prevented. Carbonization
resulted.
The wood of the roots and bate of
the tret trunk at the present being
only partially decomposed, would
tend to show that explosive activity
of Mt. Mazama wu more recent than
previously estimated. The presence
of glacial deposits over the tree es
tablishes the fact that the entomb
ment wu prior to the destruction of
the old volcsnlc cone, since higher
elevations of the mountain necessar
ily existed In order to have a glacier
form, . .
Explosion Proved.
The similar conditions of entomb
ment, carbonization of logs and ex
cessive depth of the volcanic debris
long the Diamond Lake highway
present evidence of the excessive
mount of eruptive material distrib
uted by explosive action of the vol
cano. It appears reasonable to as
sume that explosive action wu the
major force Involved In the destruc
tion of the upper portions of the vol
canic cone, although It Is possible
subsidence, sapping and undermining
may have contributed an appreciable
part in the enlargement ot the or
iginal crater.
The discovery of the carbonized log
within the rim Is regarded u an Im
portant eclentlflo discovery and will
be followed by further Intensive re
search efforts by Park Naturalist
Llbbey. Specimens of the carbonized
material will be placed among the
exhibits In the einnott Memorial ori
entation station. It Is planned to
recover the log In a condition u
nearly similar to thu In which It
wu found so posltllve evidence will
remain In the future and thereby
maintain a perpetual record of the
find.

means plsclng the msterlal directly
In the Jars and cooking them en
tirely that way, while In a "Hot Pack"
the material Is pre-cooked before
packing In the Jars. In soms cases
of cold packing the cold fruit, raw
augar and 'cold water are put Into
the Jar. In other cases material la
blanched then dipped In cold water
before It Is placed In the Jars to be
covered with hot syrup or hot water.
Q. What advantage hu the Cold
Pack over the Hot Pack? .
A. The Hot Pack method allows
some of the flavor and food values
to be boiled sway In the cooking
process.
Q. Does sugar tend to shrink fruit?
A. Yes. Its use Is favored u a
preservstlve and most people prefer
the flavor of the cooked In sugar.
Q. Why do pears sometimes dls
oolor In the top of the Jar?
A. Probably they have not been
Immersed In water u soon u they
were peeled or to high heat hu been
used In processing. (Of course, they
should not be over-crowded In the
Jar or allowed to scorch against the
top.)
Q Why do fruits snd tomatoes
sometimes come to the top of the
Jar?
A. Overripe material; careless pack
ing; over-cookrng.
Q. What causes liquid to boll out
of Jar during process?
A. Jsrs are too full or too high
pressure, or In pressure cooker too
sudden lowering of temperature.
(Cooker should not be opened or pet
cock released . until Indicator goes
back to zero.)
Q. It liquid is boiled out will food
keep? ,
A. Yes. It It would keep with the
liquid. ...
Q. Should very ripe foodstuff be
processed less time thsn leas ripe ma
terial? A. No. If 'anything. It should be
cooked longer since It Is more likely
to have started fermentation.
Q. Should Jars be turned upside
down to test for leakage?
A. No.
Q. How should Jars be plsced In
the oven?
A. So that they are In the center
of the oven and not touching each
other or the slds of the pan .(If a
pan Is used).
Q. How do you figure time of proc
essing? A. Follow the Instructions In your
recipe or the method suggested by
your .Instruction bookv Usually, !n
sn oven count, when' material Is
placed In oven; In a boiler when water
begins to boll, and In the procure
cooker when pressure reaches amount
required In recipe.
Q. How full should the Jars be In
Cold Pack method?
A. To one-half Inch If using water
or 1M Inches from top If using syrup.
Q. Does It Injure vegetables to
overcook them?
A. UNDER -cooking Is' dangerous.
Overcooking usually changes appear
ance slightly and may make the ma
terial rather toft, but will not ruin
It.
