cred In the state of Guerrero II huge
natural cave, which he believes to be

posed to be the largest natural cave
in existence In Mexico. Mr.. Leroyal,
after penetrating considerable dis
lance In the cave, determined to make
II thorough investigation OF It, and
accordingly few days ago furnished
himself with sufficient food for Il day
provided himself with lanterns, etc.
and set out upon his task all alone. As
he went along he made thorough
plan of the cave, but did not antici
pate that his task would be SO ardu
Gus as 1t proved. At first the bottom
of the cave was gradual slope down
ward, then changed upward and after
ward alternated for the most part be
tween descents and ascents. Here ant
there, however, level bottom Of grca
width was met. The height of III,
cave varied. as might naturally he OK
pected; In some places 1t was scvera
hundred feet high. For some distanc,
from the entrance no trace of human
beings was found. Occa sionally mag
nificent staluctites and stalagmitcs
