Following the lef bank of the stream one s.ion reaehe the vicinity, and with a hard scramble through a loose shale, up tin side of a precipitous hll, forming the immediate bank of the river, the enfrance is gained an opening five feet wide and eight feet high. The$e dimension generally desribe the cave's section, From the entrance the course is a deep decline seldom less than 40 degrees. At'times the ceiling is so low that progres on hands and knees is necessary. About 125 feet from the entrance the c,Ice Chamber" is reached. At this spot the cave widens into a well proportioned room, 8 by 12 feet. The lloor is solid ice of unknown thickness, and on the right hand wall of the room a carta n of ice drops to the floor, from a crevice extending horizontally in the rock at the height of one's eyes. Close examination discovers the wa- ter oozing from the crevice, and as it linos its way uown ttie side is treezeu m the low temperature of the chamber. .,. , , . . . . j .Singularly this one crevice, and that no Wider than a knife edge, funrshes this, j neighbor, and read it all over and then nature's ice hou-e, with the necessary j rus, oufc on t,e sfc,eet anf denounce water.

As the cold of actual winter i"ome on tho ice of the cave gradually melt, and when the liver belw is frozen by the fierce cold of Northern Iowa, the ice has disap peared and a muddy slush has tak'Ui the place of the frigid floor.
