] In the western portion of Oklahoma are
the Glass or Gloss mountains. They
are known by both names. For long

mountains contain some wonderful
caves and that belief is now verified

ard which is PERFECTLY reliable paper:
J. ]. Jones and Mart Hoffman came
In from the Gloss mountains last Thurs
day for a supply Of groceries and
large coil Of small sized rope, also Ian
terms. candles and dynamite. They are
two Of the exploring party who are in
search OF the hidden wealth in the caves
OF the Gloss mountains. They report
finding several large caves, nine miles
from Fairview, o. T., and one Of them
had been occupied by men until short
time ago. Nothing of value has yet
been found. In one cave found they
were unable to make a thorough search
as they We're not equipped in proper
shape. In this cave after crawling and
some times walking al the distance Of
about three hundred yards they came 10
a large room. To the rough and I'M
eaven roof the height was about forty
feet and some two hundred feet wide.

Travelled through this room, when there
came a rumbling sound as if water
would rise and fall. They soon dis
covered the cause. In a deep opening
in the rocks about one hundred feet
deep they held their lights down and
saw an immense cave. At the opening
or mouth there was a large flow of
water which would run through from
the spring at intervals of every fifteen
minutes. The water would rise thirty
or forty feet then gradually go down
and be calm and still. Not having rope
long enough to get down they ceased
further search and went to camp next
day. These gentlemen came 10 town
and from the looks of supplies and the
different COLES of rope they expect TO be
prepared for all emergencies in the fu-
ture. The object of taking as large
quantity of dynamite was to enlarge
the opening Of the cave in several places
where they have with difficulty got
through, also in several places rocks
hanging down and may at any time
fall. They expect to take charge of the
caves and some day not far distant
