W Earth- ouake waves which lag a little be' hind schedule have supplied evt' dence that California's Sierra Ne. vada mountains are slunding upon massive foundation of basaltic rock 30 to 40 miles deep, a widely known seismologist reported Thursday. Waves from earth movements originating west of the Sierra reach stutions east of the range anywhere from 2 )i to 4 seconds later than they should II they were traveling a straightaway course, said Prof. Perry. Byerly, University of California seismolo gist. His report was prepared for delivery before ' the Institute of Geodesy, Photogmmmetry and Cartography. This means tney detour down ward to pass under the vast foun dation rock mass on tneir way through the earth's crust, Prof. Byerly said. The time lag in ar riving at stations east of tne sierra is a measure of this detour and consequently gives an Idea of the size of the rock mass. Quakes centering near ureka. in far Northern California, lag 4 seconds in, reaching Tinemaha sta tion in Owens Valley on the east side of the range near the southern end of the Sierra. From Eureka to Reno the delay is about 2 !4 sec onds. The earthquake wave 1 a g thus supports other evidence of the ex istence of this big rock mass, Prof. Byerly .aid .Bwriy first .,.;' PUU of the earth r It took several , llta Quake recordtog,1 new evidence.
