MORE WONDERFUL THAN THE MAMMOTH
CAVE. d. L. Talbot, in commencing
a series of articles for The Fort Wdvne
Tines in regard to the Wyandotte Cave,
makes the following comparison between
the Wyandotte and Mammoth Cave -
Wyandotte Cave, one of the most exten.
sive and remarkable in the world, is situa-
ted in Crawford county, Indiana, about
twenty-five miles below New-Albany, on
Blue River. / have called it remarkable
cave The Mammoth Cave of Kentucky
has hitherto been designated as the great
est known cave in the world. 1t may star
tie your scientific readers to hear me assert
the fact, that there is one stalagmite alone
in Wyandotte Cave more massive than all
the stalagmites and stalactites in Mammoth
Cave put together This Cave l have
surveyed and mapped distance of twenty
miles in length, and there are numerous
avenues have never penetrated to their
end, although / have visited the cave for
scientific and other purposes, over dozen
different times, spending on one visit four
days and nights within its darksome halls
The Mammoth Cave is distinguished more
for its vastness than its beauty the Wy
andotte for its great extent, its mammoth
hall, its lofty ceilings, reaching frequently
to the height of 267 feet, and especially
for its numerous and beautiful fountains,
which almost continually meet the eye in
every direction. A portion of this cave
has been known and visited for over forty
years. This portion is about three miles
in length, and is termed the Old Cave. In
L.
Cave was discovered, which extended the
caves united to about twelve miles in ex-
tent. In 1858, a still newer discovery of
ingress was accidentally made, which has
added eight or ten miles thereto, and dis
closed plan of formation more extensive
and more beautiful than heretofore known.
This cave contains every kind of formation
peculiar to the Mammoth and other caves,
besides some very peculiar and unique for
nations found only in Wyandotte
