Looking north from near Dome Island,of the earthquake hoax of 1868, at which timeit was reported in the New York papers as hav-ing sunk 80 feet below the surface.

Seevfrom the north or south, it has the appear-ance of a huge emerald dome, somewhat flat-tened, but bearing enough of the appearance tcjustify the name. This island was purchasedfrom the Stale in 1856, for $100. It is also theproperty of the owner of Recluse Island. A goldmine is in the side of Buck Mountain, near thewaters edge, easterly across the lake from DomeIsland. It Is said that gold is here in paying quan-tities and that platinum is also found.
