We descended. with our guide to
Entrance Hall" where we first real
ICED that we were underground.
When, however, our eyes became ac-
customed to the darkness, the first
view of the millions of snowy stalag-
mites and ttalactites, enclosed with a
solid wall of stone, led US to imagine
we had entered the City of The Rock.
We will not attempt detailed des-
cription of the cave, but only call
over the names given to points of in
terest: Washington Column "Vege-
table Garden ;""Muddy Lake !" "Fish
Market" "Elfn's Ramble," three by
four hundred feet; "Pluto's chasm
and "Hagar gazing at her famishing
child, Ishmael." Numbers of crystal
lakes and springs meet us at every
turn. "The Chimes !" Angels
Wing !" "the Amphitheatre !"
"Tombs of the Martyrs; Devils
Pit Cascade Spring; "Lady's Toi-
let Bridal Chamber" lately so ded-
icated by an actual wedding; "skele-
ton Guloh;" Jacobs Well ;""Bayonet
Well !" Leaning Tower" "Stone-
wallis Avenue" and many other
points of interest, and atalactitic
beauty pervade the whole cavern.
We were three hours in the cave
and enjoyed every moment in spite
of weariness.
Out of the cave, our mission ended.
We purchased a horse and came
home overland, via Front Royal,
Winchester, Romney, and Frankfort.

sister State Of PennsylYania

sister State of Pennsylvania. Her,
is an instance that ought to enlighter
the outside public in regard to the
condition of coal mines and the dan.
ger that miners are subjected to. II
appears that neither the miners OF in.
spectors considered this mine safe to
work in, as the Inspector had threat
ened to step the mine by the power
granted him by lava power that all
Inspectors of mines ought to possess
for the protection of the miners lives.
These three unfortunate men were
impressed with the same idea that
the general public has formed-that
the miners life is not exposed to 80
much danger as he represents. The
conclusion is that these men went
into this mine for the purpose of
proving by their combined practical
knowledge that the mine was not in
as bad condition as the Inspector rep
resented. But the sacrifice of their
lives proves that their combined prac-
tical knowledge was not as great as
the Inspectors. The fact he WAS 60
ing to stop the mine for not being
safe proves this to every unprejudiced
mind.
What has the science of ventilation
gained by the loss Of these mems
lives2 Nothing. Their bulldog
courage goes to prove the we'll known
historical fact that there is no class of
men whose moral courage for facing
danger surpasses the miners. The
courage of these men is in striking
contrast with some of the superinten.
dents of our region, who keep our
miners working in black damp that
is killing them by inches, for the
reason that it would take few dol
lars to buy plank to make all things
right. But they take good care they
cannot be found for any length of
time in amongst this foul air. Oh,
no, they have too much respect for
their own dear lives
l do not mean this to apply to all
of our superintendents, as large
majority of them do everything that
can be done to remedy the evil when
it arises.
Be it known to all whom it may
concern, that I, as sworn officer of
the State Of Maryland, considering
myself the servant Of every taxpay-
er in the State, I am determined the
public shall know what miners suf-
fer in some of the mines by being
to work in air that is not
fit for dog to breathe, and that moth
ing is being done for the purpose of
making it better. The war will be
carried into Africa.
