From the Inland Empire of the 18th
inst. (received At the band of Wells,
Fargo s Co. We clip the following
items OF interest:
During the month Of December las, some
parties while prospecting for timber on .
high mountain, ten miles south Of Treasure
Hill discovered in the head OF gulch in .
small valley near the base of a mountain q
large cavern in the ground. The valley at
certain seasons of the year drains more than
fifty thousand acres of land, and at times
has many thousands Of inches Of water fow-
ing down it. The continual wash down the
valley has formed dam few feet below the
mouth of the cave several feet in hight, SO
as to prevent any water flowing down the
eulch, so all the water coming down runs
into the cavern. The opening to the cavern
is some twelve feet in diameter, and is sixty
feet perpendicular to the first landing. The
rocks forming the sides of it to the first
landing are worn by the action Of the water
until they are as smooth as glass. Quite .
number Of large rocks were rolled in and
sent back an echo a. from great number Of
large chambers. No one has yet made
any attempt to explore il, but from the vast
amount Of water it receives at times it must
be very large, and although careful search
has been made for miles below it, no outlet
has been discovered. 1t is in limestone
formation vi lodges ofspsr cutting through
it in many places.
