WONDERFUL CAVE IN MISSOURI
A cave has lately been discovered one
and one-half miles east of Galena, 1imme-
diately under the middle of Joplin road
on the farm of Squire Moore. This cave
is being opened, and its various rooms
cleared of debris by its discoveries, E. d.
Jamson and John Strothers, who design
making it accessible to the public.
On my visit to this subterranean won
der, 1 found the accommodating pro-
prietor at the windlass, who lowered me
about thirty feet, where l entered the
cave proper. Although the ceiling was
very low, I CROPPED my way for several
hundred feet in various directions.
At various points Iisaw small openings
leading into larger chambers, but the
openings were too small for entrance.
The floor and rocks in many places were
covered with beautiful crystalized forma-
tions of various colors.
Stalagmites of the most fantastic forms
were scattered in wild profusion over the
rocks, which appear to have fallen from
the roof in some primeval age. In fact
the whole cave appears to wear an air Of
antiquity which has never been rufaed by
human hand. There is no indication Of
lead as yet, although when the cave is
thoroughly explored it may bring some
thing more to light
