LANDSLIDE AT HIGH ROCK At the time of the landslide at High Rock in Davidson county The Courier carried a full and complete account. There was considerable speculation as to the cause of the slide, its origin and extent. The Denton Herald in a recent issue has this to say of the landslide: "The slide is located on a very steep and precipitous side of Wpaiino- Springs mountain, covering an area of approximately one and one half acres. It is flanked on the sides by very deep ravines and from all out ward appearance the slide was caused by the laws of gravity, the disturb ed area having a tendency to expand and spread out. The movement of the slide, ceasing, when it had assumed a shape conforming with the surround ing terrain. Many have asked what would cause the starting or first movement of a slide of this nature, which is a question very easily ans wered, when we consider the physical qualities of the displacement. The two most plausible reasons are: (1) The striking of some object near at hand by an extremely violent stroke of lightning. (2) The heavy blasting that ha3 occurred in that vicinity in the construction of the South Bound railroad running near there. Reason given for volcanic disturbances or earthquakes are the coming in contact by an underground stream or body of water with an extremely heated part of the earth's interior causing explo sion, with the attending upheavel or depression of the surface of the earth i that vicinity. The sli,) of w;t. Rock is marked by many large cracks at a depth in some places of from six to eight feet, and from two on up to six feet in width. While th iar ones are seventy five feet or more in length. Several trees have been up rooted whil. others were bent and twisted and some have died since, the slide by lack of nutrition the down- T7u raoveraent or Siring away has at the begmning or starting of the S iS,higher CXtent t b about twelve and not more than fiff reet while farther down the hillside 't has assumed the shape of an un- Z V16 bU'ed UP aPPearance the surface.
