Bogus Bluff, Richland county has at
last diyulged part of its secret, and
w. E. Warren with his three part.
ners, who have spent the last three
years prospecting there, have been
rewarded for their industry.
Tn last samples of ore Mr.. War
rem sent to be tested were returned
with assays to prove that each ton
contained ten dollars's worth of gold
and one ounce of silver Samples that
had been tested before have been
found to contain between four ana
eight dollars worth of gold with a
very little silver.
'That is a very good amount to
find in low grade ore," said Mr.
Warren when asked whether the
discovery would pay to install ma
chinery to mine "The best part of
it is that the deeper we go, the bet
ter ore we find"
That machinery will soon be in
stalled to remove the ore was
stated by Mr.. Warren.
"'Next spring l am going to put
electric lights in the cave and l hope
to build a road so that automobiles
can drive up he continued.
Bogus Cave has long been mys>
terry to the surrounding country.
Three years ago w. E. Warren and
William Rohrbacher suddenly ap-
peared and leased the land from it's
owner, Ward Lamberson. for the
purpose of prospecting in the cave.
It was later learned the men were
miners from Oregon. Mr.. Warren
was known to have a map of the
cave, and that it was an accurate one
was soon proven by the way hidden
openings were revealed.
so many persons have suspected
me OF being everything from luna
tic to an employee Of Henry Ford
that | decided not to tell them any
thing about it, 7 even charge them
twenty-five cents to go through the
cave now. They abused the priv
4ege of being allowed to wander
around themselves SO I had to take
it away from them, said Mr..
Warren.
Mr. Warren's father was the first
person ever to work in or around
Bogus cave. He worked it between
the years 1850 and 1855 His efforts
were rewarded with nothing but a
yellow rock which looked sometIl~g
like gold but was valpeless. it is
from this. so-called bogus g,ld, z
that the cave was given its name,
and not as so many believe from the
counterfeit money supposed to have
later been made there,
Mr. Warren's father was forced to
abandon the cave and his prospect
ing because Of his inability to Sc
cure enough funds. He told his son,
however, that if ever hes should be
able he. should again take up the
work in the cave.
w e. Warren was born in 1858
and it was not until three years ago
that he could, save enough money to
make the trip back east from his
western home
"To date we have spent approxi-
mately $4,000 to excavate the cave. .
he said 1--WE have dug out about
500 feet Of tunnel. We have found
many old Indian relics believed to
belong to the stone age" -Richland
