Butte--Stephen W. Nile, professor at the Montana School of Mines and contributor in seismology for Montana has reported that he has been wired by the director of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey that evidence indicates the source area of the Nov. 23 earthquake was in the territory near the divide between upper Ruby River and the Red Rock River valleys in Madison County.
Nile said the findings, based on seismograms from all parts of the Nation bore out the observations made in the field by himself and professor Eugene S. Perry, also of the School of Mines.
More information is still being received from Montana and Idaho residents who felt the quake. Nile said the deep snow in the area affected prevents observations of the most important effects of the quake and asked ranchers and others to be on the lookout for areas of rock movement.
