DENVER = Christmas spirit has come to Cave City-and the 12 old men who live there plan special celebration in the underground dwellings that for most of them are their first real homes since boy hood days.
 Mayor Doe (the first name is John, he smilingly asserted) ex- plained about the city, how it came to be founded, and why the cele- bration.
 The houses" are the underground passages of the old Argo smelter through which millions of dollars of gold passed when Colorado pro- duced yellow metal from its grass roots.
 Less than a year ago a rooming house dweller discovered one of the abandoned tunnels. It presented an opportunity to own his own place and he promptly cleared 1t out and moved in. Since then Il other men have come to keep him company, each in his own adobe.

 All the Cave City dwellers are single; most are lifelong bachelors. Funds come mostly from WPA jobs, relief or old-age pensions. Finances don't worry them, for (the mayor talking):

 Another citizen-Richard Roe adds:
 People might say we are a bunch of derelicts. That ain't it at all We got a pride in this place. We could pay our rent in rooming house but a rooming house aint home"
