ciybt p,iles from the Central Pacific
railroad. Ii has been known to the
Indiaas perhaps for ages, and they
say that many years ago it afforded
4, passage through the mountains toa
mint where the Humboldt House now
stands. A Plute legend says that it
las been the home of the evil spirit
,or many generations, and the brav-
,st warriors of the tribe viii 4rct ven
,ure near its mouth for any purpose
whatever They say that before the
whites came among them they put
lad Indians in the cave to appease
the wrath and hunger of the spirit
that inhabited it. The last Indian
nut in there was rot as bad as repre-
sented, and was guided to the open
inc on the other side by the spirit.
The cave was partially explored in
1866 by Captain Prescott, James a.
Banks, who was since killed by the
indians near Camp Scott, and A. 8.
Simmons, now an agent in Montana
Territory. Some time ago u party
Of four, of which your correspondent
was oAe, proceeded to explore the
,-cpe. We had heard q great deal
about it, and were anxious to SIC "A
little aboat it ourselves.
On arriving at the place we dis
covered, to our Surprise, that the en-
trance was fifteen feet above the
GROUND rock on which we stood
Are rosk rises almost perpendicuarly
100 feet above the mouth and for
several hundred feet on each side.
Having been provided with ropes,
uuc was thrown over point Of rock
which projects over the mouth of the
cavern, by means of which the en-
trance was gained.
Lighting the p;tch-pine torches, we
proceeded cautiously in single file
about one hundred feet IN what ap
peared Ike a large mining tunnel.
The ceiling was from ten to fifteen
feet high in this distance, after which
1t narrowed down to crack just
lTgc enough t. get through. Sud
denly we came to square jump-of
or perpendicular drop Of thirty feet.
Again the rope was brought into
roquisition and bv Means OF it the
lotion was reached. Immediately
Uuder the road we had traversed, we
found large chambers, the largest
which should judge to be forty feet
square and sixty feet high, the en-
trance Of which was scarcely large
enough to crawl through Here in
this chamber we noticed veritication
OF the adage that constant dropping
Will wear away a stone" In several
places drops of water from the ceiling,
which continually fell in one place
there being no air current to change
their course-had worn holes in the
solid tlInty floor from five to seven
inches deep. We explored the cave
to the distance Of nile from the
entrance, and our lights burning we'll
showed that the cavern is well venti-
lated. We did not find a passage
through, though we travelled for three
hours and half by the watch, and
arrived at the entrance very much
fatigned We started two bats at
about three tourths Of mile from
The entrance, and they screamed like
wildcats vixen they saw our lights.
