BUTTE. Mont, Dec. S--A new cave
that gives promise of developing into the
most wonderful of it's kind in the known
world has been discovered in the noun
tains forty eight miles east of Butte, in
Jefferson Canyon Its extent is as yet
unknown, though it has been explored for
a distance of ten miles and to depth OF
about 800 feet.
The entrance to the cave, which is near
the track of the Northern Pacific Rail-
way and about 1900 feet above the bed of
the river, was discovered a few weeks
ago by a hunter. and the cave has just
been explored by party headed by ]. w.
Gilbert, newspaper writer of Butte. Gill
bert returned to-day after an absence of
a week with evidence of his discoveries.
Several skeletons were found in one of
the many rooms, and many articles and
utensils of stone and copper were lying
about Some of these have been brought
out. The skeletons are of persons of gil
gantic stature, and the belief of Gilbert
is that the cave was the abode of a pre-
historic people and that further explora-
ton will bring to light proof of this fact.
A theory is that by sudden change and
disturbance of the earth the entrance to
the ancient home was closed and the in
habitants walled up and left to die.
A large river, with a fall of 100 feet at
one place, is one of the wonders of the
cave, and a score of apartments, some
hundreds Of feet in extent, are decorated
with the wondrous formations of nature
One room resembles the interior of a
cathedral with a gigantic pipe organ, the
pipes being formed of stalactites, tuned
by nature to give forth beautiful notes OF
harmony. A member of the exploring par
ty by striking the pipes with a stick
played a rude imitation of Nearer, Ny
God, to Thee"
Access to the cave is very difficult, as
a direct descent of 100 feet is necessary
before any footing can be obtained. An
other party will soon visit the place fully
equipped for a thorough investigation.
