Remarkable Body of Water n the
Heart of th, Csarka. t t .
In Oregon county. Mo., and Fat
ton county, Ark., are grouped
Grand gulf, Mammoth spring and
Spring river. Grand gulf is the)
crowning wonder of the jfrqup. Th
shallow streams, about one-fourth '.
of a mile distant from each other,
flowing in ttie same direction over
an elevated plateau, suddenly drop
into canyons 500 feet deep. These
two canyons form a junction half a
mile below, where they strike a
mountain lying directly across their
path. This mountain has been tun
neled by the action of the water,
and the natural bridge thus formed
is no less a curiosity and almost
equal in eize to tho famous Natural
bridge of Virginia.
After passing through this moun
tain the united stream strikes an
other mountain ond tunnels it for
several hundred feet and then
spreads out into an immense under
ground lake, the area of which has
never been ascertained. Many par-
tics have entered the tunnel and
picnics have been held by torchlight
on the margin of the lake, bnt still
it remains a mystery. Xo light can
exist long over the bosom of the
lake, and nothing can lie heard save
the faraway rumble of the waters
as they rush on.
This underground lake is a reser
voir which supplies jmmmotn
spring, the largest spring in the
world, with its 00,000 cubic feet of
water a minute. : The most surpris
ing feature in connection with this -extraordinary
natural curiosity if
the fact that when these' great can
yons are tilled with water even to
the arch of the natural bridge, hun
dreds of feet deep, the" volume of
water in Mammoth spring is not in
creased. Mammoth spring covers
eighteen acres of ground 200 feet
deep with crystal water. South
