one can sit and look out upon the
magnificent art building and annexes,
and also down the avenue of state

the left, in front and below, for nc
man knows how far. You lower your.
self by ropes down narrow shafts and
find immense rooms on all sides OF
you, lined with pink and white crys-
tails. which glisten as the light from
your torch strikes upon them. Here
is a beautiful lake of clear water,
there a pyramid of what appears Il
be solid silver. A shout in some To-
calities is re-echoed till IL seems as If
100 demons resented the intrusion by
mortals upon their retreat The en-.
terprisiitg citizens of Sturgis will al
once make such improvements as are
necessary to make the passage ways
more safe to life and limb, after which
the wonderful cavern will be thrown
opei to the world.
