THIS GRAVE IS GOLD-LINED.
Three Skeletons Found at Mouth of Cav
ern Containing 16-inch Vein.

When Trapper Moore, veteran pros
pector of Wallowa county, was scouting
in the hills about twenty miles from
Joseph, Ore, he stumbled into an open
ing in the rocks. In a short tunnel,
near this opening, were skeletons of
three white men and in a mortar near
the pile of bones was free gold, where it
had lain for years awaiting place in
the dust sack of its finder. In a bottle
alongside one of the skeletons was vial
containing samples of gold bearing rock,
and dozen feet beyond where the trap
per discovered the skeletons he found
the entrance to mammoth cave.
N. E. Brown, who with his brother
and the trapper are among the few who
have viewed the mysterious cave, writes
the following description:
A short distance from the entrance is
a series of beautiful waterfalls, boiling
springs, miniature mud springs of sew
eral different colors and rooms contain
ing variegated crystals, stalactites and
stalagmites. On either side of the moldy
path through the cave are several kinds
of minerals, evidences of free milling
gold that has not been worked for sixty
years as far as $50 feet from the en-
trance.
The three skulls have been crushed,
apparently by some blunt instrument,
probably in the hands of Indians. A
portion of the bones are missing, due to
the work of wood rats, hundreds ofthem
infesting the vicinity.
The vein carrying gold is about six
teen inches wide. The opening to the
cave has been partially filled by rock
slides and cannot be seen until within
fifteen feet.-Portland Oregonian.

Cotton means prosperity to the

is our best known aud annual crop,
and its increasing EXPORT more
than makes up for the deficiency in
our food prodnts shipments, which
have been fal ing of, owing to in
creasing local and domestic de
mands. Cotton is still king, but it
is not the sole agricultural reliance
of the south, as was the case in
former years. Corn is pressing il
closely as a rival, for the Sonth is
beginning to appreciate that its
land is as good for corn as it is fol
