| Transcription: 1896 March 15. Burrard 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 statement. 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. Newspaper report. This report has not been confirmed. C.D.P. |
