reported in Mondays issue of The Trib-
une. Yesterday a Tribune reporter WIS.,
tied tho scene Of the cave. The Farber
property Is on the West mountain
where the vein slant upwards and crop
out. The first hole has increased in
size to about 40 feet across and eight
feet away is another hole, which meas
ures about 20 feet across. They are
unusually deep on account of the
pitching vein below.
Mr.. Farber stated that a small set
tling appeared in his garden about two
weeks ago, but the heavy rains of last
week had caused the big caving. AS
near as can be judged from the outside
each hole locates the face of cham

vein which Crops OUT at this point.
These chambers are connected with the
Price shaft workings.
Allowing for pillars, one chamber
would come just underneath the rear
