AN ACTIVE AMERICAN VOLCANO 



One of the results of 

 the eruption of 

 Mount L a s s e n in 

 California: Big trees 

 that have been up- 

 rooted by the flood 

 of mud and water 

 strewn in piles on 

 the sides of the 

 mountain. 



General view of the wreckage in 

 Loss Creek. This locality was 

 once fine ranch land, but it has 

 been transformed by the vol- 

 canic eruption into a chaotic 

 mass of mud and lava. 



North side of Mount Lassen, 

 showing the crater of the moun- 

 tain. Much of the landscape 

 that appears in this view was 

 damaged by the eruption.

 as seen from the south 

 side of the mountain. 

 This is one of the Cali- 

 fornian volcanoes that 

 have long been con- 

 sidered extinct.
