Lassen Peak Erupts Again Near Lassen Peak
Redding Calif Aug 32 Parast ranger lookouts in the high slopes of Lassen Peak watched for sunrise to melt the smoke veil and assess the brief eruption yesterday afternoon. Observers say the vent produced a heavy steam and mud flow, marking the one hundredth eruption since 1914 in memory of man. The latest blast, the second in five months, lacked lava output unlike the violent 1915 eruption that devastated Howl and cattle in Lost Creek valley.
