   [1]The Vancouver Sun reports on the quakes near the Nazko Cone,

     John Cassidy is another federal earthquake seismologist who has
     been monitoring events in Nazko from his Sidney office near
     Victoria. He said in an interview Tuesday that the area continues
     to produce 50 to 60 microquakes per day, measuring 1.0 to 1.5 on
     the Richter scale.

     [...]

     "It's a swarm, a tight cluster of seismicity," confirmed Cassidy,
     noting scientists would expect the quakes to eventually get bigger
     -- in the range of 4.0 -- if magma is working its way to the
     surface.
