A Wonder of the Pacific Coast Which Has
Never Been Explored.

A Wonder of the Pacific Coast Which Has
Never Been Explored.
On the north side of Table mountain
and near its top is an opening in the
lava that has since its early days been
known as 1.-THE lions den." 1t was so
named from the fact that for years 1t
was the lair of band of ferocious Cal
ifornia lions that, when the country
was largely devoted to sheep raising,
made mighty depredations upon the
flocl1s and caused the owners much an
noyance and loss. When pursued the
animals would seek refuge in this den
and no hunter would dare to enter it.
The ground about the entrance was
covered with the bones and remnants
of sheep and other animals. With the
increase of population the lions have
gradually disappeared, although as late
as last spring two of the animals were
seen to enter the cave. Oroville Mer-
curry says no known man has ever pen
etrated this cave to its fullest depth
| The mouth is about four or five feet
high and three feet wide and the open
ing descends with a sharp decline fol
about two hundred feet. Further thar
this it has never been explored. Now
however, party of young men hav'
made arrangements to explore it, and
if possible, penetrate to its bottom
That it is of great depth is certain, TO
one can stand at the opening and heav
great stones down the declivity and tn
sound will gradually die away in tn
distance. The young men have pre-
cured several hundred feet of ropes
torches and ladders and will thorough
explore the cavern.
What adds a peculiar interest to til
expedition and gives zest to the explol
ers is the well-znown fact that in tn
heydey of his career as bandit JCaqui
Murietta and his band of faithful TO
, lowers made the recesses of Tab
mountain the base of their operation
in this section. From there they wou
swoop down on the miners, and the
, laden with gold dust, retreat to u
mountains. Search as they might, Il
, officers could not locate them. 1t h
been supposed by many this same ca
was where the famous outlaw secret
e himself. 1t may be, too, that de-
s down in the bowels of the earth Jo
-, quin hid the greater portion of his l
II gotten. but nevertheless just as potter
u wealth.

COINED BY BRIGHAM YOUNG.

five-Dollar Gold Pieces Which Are Now
Rarities-Too Soft for Use.
County Commissioner Ballard, of San
Francisco, is the possessor of a rare and
curious gold coin which fell into his
hands in California in 1e49. 1t is q
Mormon fivc-dollar piece, and for many
years has been employed rs charra or
bangle on Mr.. Billiards. fob chain. The
owner himself was '49er, and took
part in the early gold excitement in
California He told New York Re-
corder man that the Mormons, who
We're among the earliest in the gold
fields, returned to Salt Lake with great
quantities of the precious yellow dust.
Much gold also found it's way to Utah
through other avenues. Brigham Young,
who vas at that time running little
government on his own account, estab-
lished mint and coined probably one
million dollars in five-dollar gold pieces
These coins very soon found their way
to California and passed current. At
that early date, Mr.. Ballard says, the
coins were welcomed as great
convenience in matters of exchange.
The metal in the coins was unalloyed-
so soft and pure, in fact, that it wore
away very rapidly. On this account
they soon disappeared from circulation
almost as rapidly as they had appeared.

of brotherly love, while around the

This young lady examines the

"Johnnie, where is Carlsbad"
"Part of it in every drug store in
the United States.''
"How do you make that out?"
"The Carlsbad Sprudel Salts and

"What have they done for you,
that you know so much about them?"
"Why, they have cured papa of
his dyspepsia, and in the place of a
cross father they have given me a
kind and loving parent.
Dyspepsia will spoil the most an

Brokers were fair borrowers, merchants in
wholesale lines presented very lit

no figure whatever. Some OF
the bankers put little of their surplus cash
into bonds, which stimulated the bond mar
ket little, and there was evidence OF a
little buying of dividend-paying stocks for
the Same account. Eastern exchange and

DULL AND HEAVY.

Trading in Wall Street Almost Entirely of a
Professional Characteristic Features in
Stocks and Railroad Bonds Are Equally
Featureess.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The dealings in
stocks to-day were again almost entirely of
a professional character. and while there
was a marked indisposition to trade. some
pressure was seen with an absence of de-
mand, which created dropping tendency in
prices and brought the whole list down small
fractions. The bank statement reflected the
heavy outgo of gold last week and also the
demand for currency during the week for
the movement of the crops, but this appar-
emily had no influence in the making of
prices, as a heavy loss in cash was the gen.
eral expectation. The only upward
movement of note was a rise of
per cent in Des Moines and Fort Dodge to
81. but neither the highest nor the lowest
prices were held to the close, which was dull
and heavy at or near lowest figures.
Railroad bonds were equally as feature
less, no tendency of prices in either direc-
tfon being apparent and the final changes
insignificant in all cases. The total transac-
tions reached only $463, 900
Government bonds were dull and steady.
