Big Ones That Flourish In the Middle

Professor u. T. Laughton has re-

spending the winter In exploring the

OF monster spiders found in the middle
Cottonwood Pass, says the Washing

these spiders. but around them has
been gathered mass OF Indian legend
and prospectors' yarns that rival those
of Munchausen. Many years ago
these spiders lived in a cave easily
reached by tourists. II was in valley
two miles northeast from Harvard
City, then thriving mining camp
eight miles west of Buena Vista. In
1880, a man named Shultz cut his way
into the spiders den. He did not re-
party found his body partly buried In
the spiders cave under mass Of fall
en- rock. AS 1t would have required
considerable timbering at an expense
Of several hundred dollars to recover
the body. and as the man had no
known relatives, It was left undis-
turbed. Shultz's skeleton is still in the
cave, but the spiders have found an
other home further back In the noun
tains. Some OF the tales about these
spiders are given in an Old letter
which has just been found In Buena
Vista. II says: "A short distance out
Of Buena Vista there is cave swarm

of them having legs four inches in

half Of this park, the unfinished por-

400 acres. which formerly supplied
space for golf links and race track.
From this level the ground rises on a
