HILLS ice CAVE ONE
OF NATURAL WONDERS
Ice Forms In Cave In Summer,
But Disappears In Winter
Chemical Action.

Edgemont, S. D., Sept. 30.-A natural
of an ice cave, is to be developed and
made an attraction for tourists. The
ice cave is situated at Englewood and
is one of the few natural wonders of
IT'S II in the world. AS a unique
feature among the natural attractions
Of the Black Hills it ranks with Wind
cave and with Crystal cave, and in
some respects is even more wonderful
man either of these. The cave has
developed peculiar features, which
make 1t a most mystifying proposition.
some 10 or IL years ago, what now is
me ice cave was run as a tunnel by
me late Harvey Shelter, and has been
pushed about 80 feet when work was
as no satisfactory mineral
showing was The fact
mat 1t had the power of producing ice
even during the hottest summer
weather was not discovered until later.
IN the hottest months of the year ice
.orlas IN the race Of the tunnel, some
;lmes to a depth of three feet, and a re-
mafkable feature is that during cold
weather the ice disappears. On the sur
tace or the ground abuve the face of
me tunnel is a spot from which the
heaviest snow is melted in winter and
green grass is always found there, in
all seasons of the year. The formation
'f the ice is believed to be due to the
presence of certain chemicals in the
solutions which trickle through the
rocks, which, coming In contact with
currents or air, cause a lowering Of
temperature. Why the ice should dis
appear in winter is not so easily ex-
planned, unless it is that the production
OF a low temperature, under the cir
;umstances, requires the presence of
warm air currents, in conjunction with
me chemicals contained in the solu-
tions.
