II was about as black as It could be-
partly, l own, because my ambition

He'd" and then when it came to re-
hearsal it turned out that, by some
strange mistake. the part had already
been allocated to another man. That
man was Fr5nklin Hyde. and l am not
sure that / did not hate him on the
spot True, received check as set

OF the volcanic nature of the surround<
Ing country. In the main cavern thero1

persons who venture into the cave after
rjdin., In the hot Arizona sunshine. are
made seriously i'll. The ventilation in :
the main cave is perfect, however,
which is held TO BE proof of the theory
that there is another vent.
There are several smaller caves in
the vicinity of this great cavern. but
there is little ice in them, and during
the summer months this disappears al
most entirely. In the main cave. how
ever. the supply of ice seems to remain
almost stationary, no matter what the
condition OF the weather outside. The
trails leading to the OPENING of the main
cavern show that the wild animals OF
the desert have long known OF this cool
place and have crept to il to moisten
their parched tongues. These trails are
worn so deep that they prove the cave
TO have been in existence many years,
and show that the supply Of ice must
have been there generations II not ages
ago.
The main cavern presents a glorious
sight when illuminated with the miners
candles which are always worn by vis-
itors. Thousands of sparks Of light are
struck from icy columns, and there is
constant glitter and dazzle wherever one
turns. The result is a spectacle that
seems almost like fairyland in its splen-
dor. The huge columns of ice look as
if they might have been hewn out OF
diamonds by the picks of q gnome-like
race OF builders. and the mirror-like re-
fiections, under bright light, give one
the impression that the cavern is many
times longer than 1t really is.
The commercial plans that are under
way may lessen the attraction which the
ice cavern now holds for tourists. The
citizens In the neighborhood of the cave
are considering a plan of bringing the
securing some legislation setting the VII
cinity aside as a national park and
bringing 1t under Government control.
This IS in line with the policy that has
been pursued regarding the petrified
forest of Arizona, Congress having deem
ed it necessary to protect this forest
from vandalism and to guard 1t from
commercialism. One firm even had the
temerity to erect a plant in the park
for grinding agate specimens into emery.
II is thought that unless steps are taken
TO protect the ice cave such enormous
quantities OF ice will be removed thatt
nature will not be able to keep up the
supply and one of the strangest phe-
nomenons OF the southwest will be-
ruined.
