Great Au Sable Chasm
Studied by Tourists

AU SABLE CHASM, N. Y, June
20.-Summer vacationists already
are pausing at the great chasm of
the Au Sable River, IL miles south
of Plattsburg and 3 miles from Lake
Champlain.
Au Sable Chasm has been known
since pre-Revolutionary days for its
weird geologic formations. its mys-
terious caves and wild beauty. The
great rent in the foothills of the
Northeastern .Adirondacks was dis
covered in early Colonial times by
a certain Maj. Howes of the British
Army. who was forced to make his
perilous descent into the depths by
means of ropes held over the edge
of the gorge.
For long time after Maj. Howe s
rope visit to the chasm it was little
known to the general public Grad
ually its fame spread. Today the
chasm is accessible throughout the
entire mile and half of its length,
so that visitors may study at their
leisure the caves, pot holes and
strange stone formations which ma
ture has provided.
Ascent and descent in the chasm
Is by means of well-protected stair
ways, hewn out of the solid rock.
