A Cavern L ,!.:.c Prairies.

At q spot eleven miles southeast of this
place. in the level prairie upland is an
opening. about 70 feet in diameter ana 90
feet i'll depth BY cliu&ing to its rocky
and PERCEPTIONS walls Il person may de
scend TO the bottom and there find the
openings to the two caves, one leading
westward and the other to the east. For
years this cave has been known rs Rock
Prairie cave. II is one Of the most strill-
ing natural curiositieS in the Chickasaw
nation. The caves are Of unknown
length and through one rushes sub
terranean stream of great depth in places
and of ICY e0ldness. Exploring parties
have ventured into these labyrinthS for
hundreds of yards. but the danger of be-
coming lost has prevented Il thorough eX-
animation of the underground passage.
The cave leading westward is easiest
of access, and contains Il number OF spa
ciouS chambers. The room is about 10
feet square and % feet from the floor to
the ceiling. The floor is INSTRUCTED with
huge boulders. The darkness and still
ness are intense. Picnic parties sometimes
go there. and with a large boulder for Il
table eat their .uncheons in the glare of
torches that cast uncanny shadows along
the massive walls.
Timid persons hesitate in venturing
into the depths of the eastern cave The
passage slants downward at an angle
that compels the explorer to crawl and
slip and slide for nearly 100 feet be
fore reaching a spot where a person may
stand upright and walk safely. From
the darkness echoes the sound of rushing
water which later iss found to be a
stream which runs from s TO 30 feet in
width and from q inches to many feet in
depth. Men have waded in the stream
until the water reached their chime and
then gone in a boat to points where they
were unable to touch bottom with the
longest oars. \ farmer carried his boat
into the cave several years ago to fol-
low the stream to lis end. At depth
estimated to be 200 feet below the sur
face of the ground is a natural bridge
formed by n huge stone that fell across
the stream. The water plungeS under
meath this bridge like Il millrace. \ boat
can be pulled over the bridge. however,
| 100 feet below the bridge the stream
widens into a broad. deep pool, with a
| high vaulted roof. Beautiful stalagmites
and stalactites adorn the chamber. Two
hundred feet below this pool the passage
| is difficult 1t is claimed that this cave
| has been explored for Il mile.
| The stream is believed to find its ont
| let at spring about three miles from
| the entrance to the cave This spring is
| Of great size and volume and flows with
remarkable swiftnesS. In the rainy sea
| son this spring bols and gusheS as il
| thoked with the food Of water that
pours from it's mouth. The stream in
| Rock Prairie Cave rises when there is a
! heavy rainfall in the surrounding coun-
try. and the increased flow of both spring
| and stream nj such times is taken as evil
! dence that they are connected.-Okl

Exodus of the Cowboy.

An indication of the rapdity with
which the country west of the Mississippi
is being reclaimed and settled is to hc
seen in the project of the cattIemen of
Dakota and Montana TO transfer their
business and their herds bodily TO South
America. The great ranges of the NORTH
west are being cut up into small farms,
and the area of public grass land is di-
minishing rapidly. The cattlemen are
looking for ranges in Chill, Brazil anu
the Argentine. and if they cannot find
large. unhrokcn areas of grass land in
those countries, or are unable TO make
satisfactory terms, they intend to try
Africa. In their present stage of devel-
onment the southern continents seem "a
be adapted to that peculiar form of the
cattle industry which our Western states
have ontcrown and crowded out, and the
tranSnlnnting of the American cowboy
nrobahly would be advantageous To them.
An infusion of North American energy
ana hustle might work great changes IN
