yEyADA'S MAMMOTH CAVE.
Underground Gallery Discovered
I'm white Pine County.

4 subterranean cavern has recently
been discovered in White Pine county,
Nevada. in contrast with which, accord
inc 70 the statement of recent visitor,
the Mammoth Cave OF Kentucky OWN
dies to the dimensions OF gopher hole.
The cave is situated in Snake Valley, at
the base OF lofty mountain spur known
as Jeff Davis Peak. It's circumference ut
the entrance or mouth is 50 feet, and 1t IS
supposed to be several miles in length.
So far it has been explored for dis
lance OF only 1900 feet from the en-
trance. The interior is composed OF
lofty galleries and chambers, some OF
them measuring sixty feet from floor
to roof. These underground galleries
are supported by columns OF glittering
stalactites and stalagmites. In one OF
these chambers was discovered lake OF
pure, clear water, OF apparently I'M
iathomable depth. Another apartment
has been named the Emusic gallery.
This chamber is hung with long stalac-
tites reaching from the root TO the floor.
By drawing fragment of broken stalac-
tite across these slender pillars sound
is produced resembling the notes pro-
duced by striking the keys OF piano,
each slender column struck giving forth
a different tone. A party is being organ
lied in the eastern part OF the State for
the purpose of exploring this mighty
cave throughout its entire length.

IMPORTANT MINING SALE.
Final Transfer OF the Martin Horn
silver Mine to the New Owners.

One OF the most important mining sales
that has taken place in Utah for some
time was consummated to-day in this
city. We refer to the transfer OF the Mar
tin Horn Silver mine, in Idaho, to eN-
Senator Paddock, ex-Marshal Shaugh-
messy, G.. VI. Thum and Ed. Egan. The
consideration was $55, 200, which amount
was this afternoon deposited in Wells,
Fargos bank in the name OF Mr.. Martin.
The new owners OF the mine have
formed company, the articles OF incor-
poration having been filed with Secretary
Thomas this afternoon.
The buyers are highly elated over their
purchase, and think they have bonanza
equal to the great Frisco Horn Silver
mine. Notwithstanding that the Idaho
mine has only been opened by fiity-foot
tunnel, it promises to be one OF the great
est silver-producing mines on the Pacific
Coast Three hundred dollars per ton is
the value OF what has been taken out,
