Great Cave Discovered.

\ dispatch from Salt Lake
SAYS: A vast underground cav
ern in places seemingly bottom
less and of unknown extent, has
been discovered near Cain
Springs, about sixty-fve miles
west of Calientes, New, on the
line of the San Pedro, Los Ange-
les and Salt Lake railroad. The
cave is now being thoroughly
explored by members of the rail
road and engineering crew, who
learned of it through an old res
ident of the sparseIy settled dis
trict.
The cavern bids fair to become
one of the most celebrated of the
natural wonders of the West
and a rival of :he Mammoth
Cave of Kentucky. Exploring
parties have been able to pene-
trate to a distance of over . 600
feet, progress at this point being
stopped by an abyss SO deep
that stones thrown from the
brink gave back no sound of
striking bottom.
+. o. Watts, of Ogden, Utah,
one of a party that first investi-
gated the natural wonder, an
nounces that a systematic ex-
ploration is in contemplation.
He. i'll company with several
railroad contractors, recently
penetrated to a great depth the
mysteries of the hitherto scarcely
known cavern. According to
him the cave is filled with beau
tiful crystalized chambers, many
of them of great size and height.
The cave is filled with natur-
al arches he said, supported
by stalactite columns, the beau
tv of which is marvellous. From
the floor great stalagmites push
up and branch toward the dome
like ceilings, in the shape of
trees
The cave is possibly the outlet
of one of the lost" rivers which
abound in the eastern section of
Nevada.
