proceed around the Hole Inferno and
along the opposite shore of the Stygian
to falls near onr camp. On passing the
corridor at the opposite side we observed
that it continued on the line, correspond­
ing with that on tbe further side, and at
about the same downward inclination.
We now proceeded onward, with the
Stygian at our right, and noted the.for-
mation to correspond with that on tbe
opposite wall. At about one hundred
and twenty-five feet beyond the Hole
Inferno we observed what appeared to.be
the broken fragments of the volcanic
casing that once faced the western wall
of this old volcanic chamber, which by
the subsequent contraction and conse­
quent fracturing, bad broken it down,
and from evident water lines we con­
cluded that the water which now plunged
into the Hole Inferno was onoe held in
check by the western wall of the cham­
ber, which, having been snbsequently
broken down, th e fragments were washed
into the old volcanic outlet to our stream
and lost. From this point onward to
the falls, there was no material varianoe
from the opposite side, until on our ar­
rival at the pool, we discovered that there
remained a space of about ten feet in
width between tbe wall and the water,
by which, we could reach the foot of tbe
full and oould examine the lowest of the
stalactites, which have before been men­
tioned. These stalactites were very
beautiful, and from metamorphic action
subsequent to their formation, they had
become very highly crystalized. And
tbe adjacent strata, not being of a lime­
stone formation, the crystals presented a
kind of yellowish glow; thus partaking
of the character of such of the rocks
through which the waters have passed
as were susceptible to tbe solvent prop­
erties of water charged with carbonic
acid gas. Stalagmitic formations met
these stalactites from the floor of the
cavern, and between a pair of theee bril­
liantly scintillating pillars we passed on
to tbe foot of the falls. I t would be dif­
ficult to describe the beauty of tbe scene
we now beheld. The water fell over the
cliff with a gentle flow but at tbe bottom
was churned into foam and spray, which
gave back a thousand shades of color as
tbe light struck the bubbles that danced
on the bosom of tbe pool, while the light
radiating from the millions of crystals
that sparkled from the pendant stalac­
tites, gave a confused sense of glory
which I shall not attem pt to deecribs.
We did little talking—Jim and L We
were in a presence which, for millions of
years has not reflected the sunlight, but
did so once. A presence where the pre­
historic denizons of the deep once
played, but will play no more forever.
In the bowels of the earth, with more
than a mile of solid mountain between
us and sunshine—alone; where only the
murmuring of the stream and the groan­
ing of the mountain has disturbed tbe
stilluess for a period of time in the past
which would multiply the age of our
oldest historic record by thousands. No!
Jim and 1 had little to say.
On examination, we were fully per­
suaded that a fracture and fault once
occurred here, perhaps at the time when
the western wall of V ulcan’s Dome was
broken down, which accounted for the
water-fall, the pool and the opening of
that fracture above, which permitted the
percolation of water charged with car­
bonic acid gas and carbonate of lime, and
the resulting line of stalactites. On
carefully prospecting the precipice over
which the water fell, we found that it
would be poc ,:ble to clamber to the top,
by tbe use of tbe ropes and grapling
irons, which composed a part of our
equipage, and which was at the camp on
the opposite side of the Stygian. The
stream could not be crossed, unless at
the outer rim of the pool we should find
it fordable. I t was very desirable to find
it so, for otherwise it would be necessary
to pass around tbe Hole Inferno on each
trip to and from our camp to this, the
only pass into the upper chambers of tbe
cavern. The 6tream below the pool
rushed wildly on between precipitous
banks, from ten to forty feet high, boding
certain destruction to him who should
fall or lie drawn into it. We ooucluded,
therefore, to return as we came and pro­
vide against a possible accident, by the
nse of such means as our equipage might
furnish.

On the morning following our return
from Vulcan’B Dome, we started for Ash­
land as early as the light would permit,
and on the road discussed the character
and quantity of the outfit to be procured.
Two days later, reinforced by two strang­
ers whom we had employed to assist us,
without, however, enlightening them
fully of the nature of employment, we re­
turned to our old camp. Jim suggested
that with a little work in building a trail
we could take the horses to the mouth of
the cavern. This, after a little examina­
tion, we found we could do, and not only
so, but that by unpacking them and
digging away a little of the earth at the
mouth of the cave, we could also take
them into it and have plenty of room to
repack them, not more than fifty yards
from the entrance. Our determination
to proceed to the Stygian with our horsee
was quickly taken, which would relieve
us from a task that we had been dread­
ing. The sun was yet high and after
eating a hearty dinner, we picketed the
horsee and proceeded to the work of pre­
paring our trail and removing some of
the debris from the entrance. While

For this, and for purifying the
blood, there’s nothing in all medi­
cine th at can equal the “ Discovery.”
In recovering from “ Grippe,” or
in convalescence from pneumonia,
fevers, or other wasting diseases, it
speedily and surely invigorates and
builds up the whole system. As an
appetizing, restorative tonic, it sets
at work all the processes of diges­
tion and nutrition, rouses every or­
gan into natural action, and brings
back health and strength.
For all diseases caused bv a torpid
liver or impure blood, Dyspepsia,
Biliousness, Scrofulous, Skin and
Scalp diseases — even Consumption
(o r L ung-scrofula) in its e&rlier
stages — the “ Discovery ” is the
only guaranteed remedy.
If it
doesn’t benefit or cure, in every
case, you have your money back.
