find NEW MAMMOTH
CAVE I'M CALIFORNIA

N~iscilia, Cal.-Hiddcn deep in the re-
cesses of a hitherto practically unex-
liored section OF the Marble Fork of
the kewah river. almost within q
stones throw of the Black Oak trail
and within eight miles of the famous
Genera Sherman big tree. in Giant
Forest, is said to lie one of the most
wonderful subterranean caverns known
10 the mountains of California. The
cave was discovered only last week by
Il party of fishermen exploring the up
per reaches of the stream and these
men, pioneers of the region. declare the
newly discovered Sequoia national
park wonder to be the largest of the
several big caves in the park.
Enthusiastic accounts of the caves
interior are brought in by the noun
taineers who ventured as far into it's
recesses as possible without light.
Strangely. they declare. the air within
odor emanating from other such caves
and this fact. they believe, is due to
the stream of pure. snow water which
flows through the W. and across a
bed of solid marble of varied hues and
which evidently enters from another
opening to the cave beyond.
The accounts recite at least a dozen
large rooms within the cavern, of
sufficient size for Il modern ball room
setting, and all covered with a fine
white and. Beautiful stalactites are
i'm great number and of every color in
II instance. they declare. forming am
arch-like canory not unlike a great
throne room. The fishermen did not
venture further into the cavern than
800 feet as they had no lights and
bones found there indicated that the
cave had been the lair of the wild
animals which are in the Sequel park.
Government agents will investigate
the new discovery at once. it is said.
and n new trail will be built from Giant
forest directly to it. probably cutting
the eight mile distance in half. Other
Improvements said to be in contempla-
uion. if the cave proves as stated. in
clude electric lights and a big dance
floor for Giant forest campers through
