proceeded TO carry Into execution their
long cherished purpose, Of making a
descent Into Avernus and seeing with
their own eyes the marvellous wealth
stored away In OF u far famed
mines. The ladies. after exchanging
their rich attire for a plain calico
dress, stepped on board the eel
~evator" tcsge), repeated mentally q
short prayer for safety, faced lnwards,
and grasping the cross-bar overhead,
awaited the engineers signal. The
following Is the diary Of their descent:
First hundred feet-sllght oscillation
Of cage /; considerable fluttering OF the
heart, with an upward tendency. Sec
cond hundred-darkness conversation
suspended; ladies hug each other
tightly. Third, fourth, fifth, sixth
and sevsnth-much the same. Eight
hundred-confldencs restored ; pleas
urablc sensations experienced while
being lowered In the cage. Nlno hun
dred-a long time occupied In making
the descent. VIII the cage never stop !
Ten hundred-cage halts; we disein-
bark, with q slight feeling Of bewi!d-
erment; try to look brave. Then
commenced a series Of travels and cx-
plorations ; CROPPING aleug drifts With
unsteady steps; visiting vast galleries;
climbing ladders aud descending them
again; the lady members OF the party
uttering frequent CALCULATIONS Of as
constituent and delight at the mag
nlflcent spectaclss to be seen oil every
hand. The long subtsrranean cham.
bers were brilliantly Illuminated and
filled with hundreds OF men, scantily
attired, who were hard at work I'M.
sarthing the precious metals, Of which
there seemed to be an i~nsxhaustible
supply. Tho visitors, In wandering
through the numberles, drifts and
passages, lost their reckoning and
could not tell whether they wore In
north or south latitude, nor In what
direction the sun rose. Miss Denim,
OH being asked II she cared to 90 any
lower than the l000-foot level, replied,
yes she would like to 10 to tho bot
tom Of the mine. So the party were
placed OH board the giraffe and
lowered with great rapidlty to the
l5OO.foot level. They travelled so last
that somo OF the party were under the
impression that the cable had broken
and that there would be n railroad ac-
| cident, but somehow or other the gl-
raGc stopped just at the right time.
| The party made but n short stay on
the 1900. On the ore producing levels
above they were shown every nook
and corner. The ladies loaded down
their pockets with rich specimens and
never seemed TO grow weary OF gazing
upon grottoes whose sides g,ittered
| with precious metals. They remained
In the mine three hours, aud when
they had arrived once more on terra
TRINA they were very profuse In their
expressions Of gratefulness to the DILL
GERS and men employed In the mine
for tho numberlesS attentions shown
them. Mr.. Houghton stood the trip
