| Memorandum: 1866. February 17; "The Klamath River, fifteen miles above the Jacksonville road, was suddenly raised, exposing its bed, while a hill on its bank sunk away to a level plain: on one side of the hill, where it separated from the mainland, it left an abrupt bluff. The river channel was immediately changed, the water running around where the hill had been standing. Bob Whittle, and others, witnessed the phenomenon, and gathered large quantities of fish, that were left in the old bed, when the water drained off."-B.Ms.-Quincy Union, March 10, 1866.Yreka Journal. |
