Coast and Geodetic Survey Shows Lake
Not as Deep as Previously Measured
The coast and geodetic sur
vey made of Crater Lake this
summer found that the lake is
not as deep as previously re
corded in wire and lead
soundings.
' Electronic soundings show
ed the lake was about 60 feet
shallower than previous
Youths Transported
To Institutions
Three Medford youths last
week began sentences oiZVz
years each following circuit
court action on charges of
contributing to the delin
queney of a minor.
' Jackson county sheriffs
- deputies reported transport
ing Basil Victor DeRushe, 20,
of 332 Mary st., to the Oregon
state penitentiary, and the
- other two, Waymon Ross
Blackwood, 20, of 2520 Merri-
man rd. and Chester Leon Al-
: lison, 19, of 1119 West Fourth
st., to the Oregon correctional
.institution.
The trio were involved with
other youths in a, case of con
tributing to the delinquency
of a 16-year-old girl. All three
. pleaded guilty to the charge.
:- They were sentenced Aug. 31

measurements.
Crater lake is the second
deepest lake on the North
American continent. The
deepest point was listed as
1,996 feet, but new soundings
found it was 1,932 feet, the
survey showed. However, this
does not alter the lake's posi
tion of being the second deep
est in North America.
Portion of Story ;t
Following is portion of a
story by Joe Rigert of the
Oregon Journal staff which
appeared in today's Oregon
Journal: "J '
"Lt. R. E. Williams, who
headed the' survey- for the
agefncy, pointed out that the
depths he recorded are still
subject, to office revision and
review. ', ' - ''
"Previous soundings were
made by wire .and lead in
1886, 1938, 1939 and 1940, but
never before; by electronic
equipment. i
"This may account for the
difference in recordings, Wil
liams said. It would take only
a slight wire angle to give an
error of 60 feet. ,
"The boats used : for the
other soundings," he explain
ed, could have drifted after
the lead hit bottom, so that
the wire, wss not straight up
and down.
"Williams used a fathomet
er, which can measure down

ment bounces an electrical

the impulse to return to the
machine.
Lake Profile
"With this information, the
instrument draws a profile of
the lake bottom on graph
paper, giving the depth ac
curately as it goes. :
"Williams saM most of the
depths throughout the lake
ran about 60 feet less than
those previously recorded. :
Although there was a dis
crepancy in depths, Williams
said the topography' of the
lake ' bottom as recorded by
the electronic gear was al
most identical to that found
by the first soundings even
taken m 1886 - by wire and
lead, a relatively crude
method.
The latest survey noted a
cone at a 1,300 feet depth'and
other small cones, the same
as were charted earlier, Wil
liams said.
"The current data will be
used to make both contour
and relief maps of the lake
bottom, reported Tom Wil
liams, superint endent of
Crater Lakes National park,
"and is expected to add ma
terially to the fascinating
story of Crater lake's forma
tion." "Deepest lake on the North
American continent is Great
Slave lake in Canada at 2,015
feet, Williams said. Lake Bai
kal in Siberia at 5,712 feet is
the - world's deepest. Crater
lake ranks seventh in the
world.
