Two Of the most wonderful stalsctitc
caves in the world are located within the
territory of Utah-one five miles south
of ToQuerville and the other 90 miles
west Of st. George. Neither is remark
able on account of size, and to the best
Of my knowledge the dignifying title of
cavern" has never been bestowed upon
either of the two. They simply come
within the category Of the wonderful be-
cause of the immense number of stalac-
tites Of various sizes and colors which
depend from their roofs. The first, the
one near Toquerville, is known as La
Virgin. and the other by the name of the
Black Warrior.
The Virgin was discovered few years
ago by the contractor of an irrigating
company. who was engaged in driving a
tunnel through mountain called ''La
Virgin Bench" for the purpose of tap
ping the river beyond. When the light
was hrst let into this wonderful under.
ground chamber, the effect is said to
have been startling, the roof and floor
glittering with cubes and points Of crys-
tai alum and the roof studded with mil
lions Of rain colored stalactites.
The BLACK Warrior" cave is a coun-
terpart Of the Virgin and was discovered
by miners at point where their tunnel
was 1856 feet beneath the surface.-St.

cabin. She carries large stocks Of sta
tionery, hardware and apothecaries'
goods, and is provided with tools for all
sorts of trades. Everything conceivable

Every man in the navy, from the last

are served out once in 10 days, -four ev-

In port fresh provisions are furnished,
