1896. March 15; Bnrrard Mountains, B. C, via "Vancouver (B. C), 

 March 16. 



One of the Burrard mountains, directly opposite Vancouver and ten 

 miles distant, is believed to have been in a state of eruption last 

 night. Numbers of persons vouch for the accuracy of the state- 

 ment. C. Harris, a reputable lawyer, declares that dense smoke 

 and flames poured from the mountain for several minutes. No 

 one has scaled the mountain, so that its geological formation is 

 not known. In view of the fact that several shocks of earthquake 

 occurred here in the past year, the story is believed by many.^
