has formed a natural tunnel for rail-

The treasure is said TO have been

Of the tunnel. White men, pursued
By Indians, placed the treasure
there, the legend says, and only II

A box, rugged with ropes, was

eagles nest. The eagle attacked him
and in striking at the bird one Of
the ropes was severed, s~uspending
the treasure-seeker above the yawn-
ing cavern. The other rope held.
the story relates, but when the man
was pulled TO the top he was dement,

Another tale is that Winnoah.

wall Of the tunnel to her death 500
feet below, because Of her love for

The waters Of Stony Creek flow
