A New Gave Discovery in Kentucky.

Another wonderful cave has recently
been discovered near Glasgow juno
ton, Ky. 1t has already been explored
for distance of twenty-three miles in
one direction, called the long route, and
sixteen miles in another direction,
called the short route. The avenues are
very wide; span of horses can easily
be driven through for distance of
eleven miles. Three rivers, wide and
very deep, are encountered on the long
route. One of them is navigable for
fourteen miles, until the passages be-
come too narrow to admit boat. This
forms the third or river route, which
has to be explored in a boat.
The cave is wonderful beyond de-
scription, and far surpasses in grandeur
the Mammoth or any cave ever before
discovered. Several mum1nified re-
mains have been discovered in one of
the large rooms. They were reposing
in stone collins, rudely constructed, and
from appearances may have been in
this cave for centuries. They present
every appearance of the Egyptian num-
mics.
Great excitement prevails over this
very important discovery. Mr.. Edwin
Mortimore, of Chestnut street, Louis
vile, KY, purchased three of the num-
mics, and has them now in his possess
sion. Maj. George NJ. Proctor, of Glas-
gov Junction. Ky, purchased the re-
mainder of the mummies from the
owner of the cave, Thomas Kelly. The
latter is, or rather was few days ago,
very poor man, struggling to make a
payment on farm of tWenty-four acres,
upon which, by mere accident, the en-
trance to this wonderful cave was dis
covered. He obtained about S4O0 for
the mummies, and is now offered S10,-
600 cash for the cave.
The entrance to the cave is within
the town limits, and is only about two
minutes walk from the depot, which
makes it very valuable indeed, as visi-
tors will not be compelled to travel five
miles in a stage coach, as they do if de-
sirous of visiting the Mammoth Cave,
which is five miles from this town. In
fact all the celebrated caves of Ken
lucky are in this immediate vicinity.
The surface is very much broken, full
of great elevations and depressions,
with everything to indicate that there
were volcanic eruptiOns or violent up
heayals of the earth at some period.
The newly discovered cave has been
named the Grand Crystal Cave, and is
as beautiful as its name implies. Lad
ders and bridges are being constructed,
and Mr.. j. r. Puckett, capitalist of
the town, announces his intention of
having small steamboat constructed
expressly for the purpose of navigating
its wonderful rivers. s.-C Cincinnati COM
