Description	View from Volta of Mt. Lassen erupting with an article. Pg. 19. 1926. Donor: BF Loomis.
Original annotation	...snowdrift inside the south rim of the crater were still lying on top of the snow where they fell. The snow being frozen very hard when they fell, but they would have melted their way to the bottom had they been hot. The snowdrift is about 600 feet south of the new crater and there was probably a thousand rocks lying on top of the snow where they fell. Thsi snow was covered with about three insches of ashes, which turn black when wet. It is seen in the foregroudn in my photo of the crater. Our pictures taken we rushed to Viola and developed the plates, then I rushed to Redding to the Valentine Studio, when we got off four sets of pictures for the newspapers that same evening. It is certainly a wonderful series of photographs. They have been published in many of the leading newspapers and magazines, and through these they have been sent all over the world. They are in use in several universities and schools, and are now being printed in various kinds of books. Fig. 7. Eruption of Lassen Peak, viewed from Volta, near Manton. This view makes a very pretty magazine heading. Photo R. S. Ballou.
