H CMS F 11 THE UII BEOS Klamath Falls Party Tells of Won derful Haturat Beauty of Klamath Caves. (Klamath Falls Herald.) Captain 0. C. Applegate, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Pelzell and son Tom, J. T. Butcher and wife, Wilber White and wife, Misses Louise Sargent and Ethel McCauley and C. H. Merrill re turned recently from the famous Modoc lava beds, having had, as they say, a most interesting trip. The drive from there to the Ice Caves, a point about seven miles south of where General Canby was killed by the Modocs, a distance of forty-seven miles, was made in a day and a half, and the return trip in one day. The party encamped two nights at Mer rill Butte, a cinder cone ..ear the Bear's Paw ice cave. Ice water is lifted 60 feet from the floor of the cave by a force pump at the Merrill horse camp. From this point excursions were made on horseback to various points of interest in a region abounding in cnves and craters where extinct vol canoes are numerous on every hand. Several new caves were discovered by the party, one of which, some two hundred feet in length, fifty in width and with a level ceiling forty feet above the floor, would afford a ready made auditorium where a lec turer might theorize on the geolog ical history of this most interesting region. The most important discov ery made by the party, however, was of a two-story cave, which is indeed one of the world's marvels. A hole was found some ten feet in width in the bottom of a large cave. A lan tern was lowered on a rope until it was evident that there was another floor with a surrounding cavity some twenty-five or thirty feet below. A small pine tree was cut, divested of its limbs and brought into the cave. This was lowered until it touched the -lower floor, and by it the party de scended to a great corridor, thirty or forty feet wide, extending apparently parallel with the corridor above in both directions from the point of de scent. The corridor is not less than fifty feet in extent and is obstructed at the ends by loose mnterial fallen from above. No thermometer was at hand to determine the temperature, but it is cool enough to contrast greatly with the degree above ground and icicles five or six foot in length depend from tho ceiling in many places. One can walk on level . ice floors for long distances. The ice may be of great depth at places. The party had no means at hand nor time to test its depth. At one place the ice floor descends and presents the appearance of a river suddenly frozen in its fall to a lower level. The entire party of thirteen persons, proved a lucky number in this case, for all descended the pine tree to this frigid chamber and bravely tra versed its rugged floor without ac cident. Captain 0. C. Applegate, from whom we have received an account of this new discovery, tells tu' that his observations from the Black Cin der cone in the vicinity t)f these ice caves, makes it evident that the cave system, of which those mentioned form a part, extends from Merrill Butte to the great blnck ledge, llic iiorcHeni end of which forms Captain Jack's strmghoid, a distance of about fear miles, and that a double cy.ve was perhaps ciMiiiniiing in for mer ages between these points. Many caves will no doubt be explored in the future in this region, not only historic on account of the warlike Moilncs having made their last stand against the army of the United States here, but because it presents extraor dinary scenic interest. It will surely become one nf the greatest attrac tions in all the west, and will prove the Mecca of thousands and thou sands of tourists ui the years to come. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. C. X.
