was from the same town that the
BARRIERS and Burrs hailed from. The
story of Snake Cave and Snake Hollow
has been frequently told, but as the
old actors of the drama have passed
away and new generations come in.
it will do no harm to have it renarrat
ed. I'm the fourth decade of the last
century Willis st. John and his
partnerkI think it was Theodore M.
Barber, late of Lancaster, were sink
ing shaft in quest of mineral, on a
range known as cave range, on the
bluff opposite TIE Catholic church.
They had sunk down about thirty
feet when st. John s partner refused to
go deeper, claiming it was dead
shaft. Thereupon ST. John hired
him; spading a few rounds the bottom
caved in, tools and the men found
themselves in a cave. In exploring
it. 1t was discovered that the cave
run hundreds of yards in the bluff,
and that the other terminus opened
on the side hill. The sides and floor
of the cave were lined with lead
cubes and was a ri3h strike. But
that was not all that was discovered.
Strewn along the floor we're hundreds
of rattlesnakes. remember that Mr..
T. M. Barber told me that there was
wagon load. Excitement grew
high among the miners as to the
great find of mineral and snakes.
1t was winter time the snakes were
dormant. Some one suggested to burn
them. The snakes were thrown in
pile, brush and wood was piled
around and the pyre was set atire.
The miners armed with climbs sur
rounded the fire. Snakes that broke
through the ring of fire were killed
by the miners. Mr.. Barber related
further that one large RATHER was
pinned to the ground by forked
stick and the miners for amusement
spat tobacco juice in its mouth. The
snake died from the effect of it. l
am under the impression that he told
me that henceforth he abstained from
the use Of tobacco. This should be
good lesson for the boys Anything
that kills a snake is liable to injure a
boy. From that time on that hollow
was known all over Grant county as
Snake Hollow.
ST. Johns cave does still furnish
the boys OF Potosi spending money.

widowed mother, and also by the two
brothers, who are at home and the
