tain a large cavern in the ground.
The valley at certain seasons OF tne
year drains more than fifty THOUSAND
acres of land, and at times has many
thousands of inches OF water flowing
down It. The continual wash down the
valley has formed a dam a few ieet
below the mouth Of the cave, seSera'
feet in hight, SO as to prevent any wa
ter flowing down the gulch, SO all the
water coming down runs into Inc
cavern. The opening to the cavern Is
lome twelve feet in diameter, and IS
sixty feet perpendicular to the hrst
landing. The rocks forming the sides
Of it to the frst landing, are worn oy,

as smooth as glass. Quite a number OF
large rocks were rolled in and sent back
an echo as from a-great number OF large
chambers. No one has as yet made any

amount of water it receives at times It
must be very large, and although care
full search has been made for miles be-

Enthusiastically was one Of the
toughest days we have ever experienced
in White Pine. Hail squalls, accom-
panied by thunder, and squalls without

of the day. We have heard of no Sc

several tents left their mornings and q
small canvas house in the upper end oil
town was blown down.

before yesterday on Gilson's toll road
40 miles from Hamilton-in which Billy

through the body in the region OF the
lungs. DR.. Senssney has gone out to
render him every assistance, and is now
with him. Our latest news is that he lies
in a very critical condition.
A PREDIcrIoS.-The question is often
asked why White Pine turns out so
little bullion. Tho answer is casy-tbe
want Of mills .Butthey are coming rs
fast rs or teams can bring them. From
our knowledge Of the ores ready for
working and the mills about to be
erected here during the present season,
| we have no hesitation in stating that
our bullion produst will equal that OF
the Comstock before next autthnn.
