First tying ono end of a long rope near tho orifice ho gathered the coll In his hands und made, what seemed to him, the peril ous descent. Tho first fifty feet wns almost perpendicular. The cave was tben fol lowed on un Incline of about CO degreeo for somo nisiunce. wnon nn inc inn or nt lonst 45 degrees was truverscd. Steeper Inclines una precipitous drops were met until tno rope gave out. rno signt from tins no nt. McDonald says. was too grand for words to describe. Tho roor or tno cave was studden with nondor- ous stalactites which sparkled like dla- montls ns far ns his cht reven ert the gorgeous display. Tho sound of n rolling rocK, wnicn tno nuventurer stnrted on nn Investigating tour, could bo distinguished for a long time. McDonnld returned to tho surface determined to pursue his explorn- iioiis ns soon ns an auuuionai supply or ruuu was mui. About n week nco. the ronn linvlnir nr- rlved, McDonald started on another descent Into tho cavern. Providing himself with a better light, ho entered tho narrow open ing and soon reached tho terminal point of ins iirrviuuB exiuii. from inero ne passed through a wonderful panorama such ns Is described by 11. HIdcr Haggard In "King Solomon's Mines," except that McDonald suys iinggnra-s description sudors greatly by tho comparison. Stalactites from thirty io xoriy reel in lengin presented n dlnmond. like network of dazzling dlsnlnv which out- rivalled Aladdin's cave. So great was the brilliancy that McDonald compared It to snow-bllndncss. McDonald had proceeded nbout 400 feet on his rope when he was stopped by n rock, beyond which wnter could be dis cerned. McDonald thinks a running stream Is there. The cavern is to bo explored further by a party. Jefferson Island Is nbout ten miles south of Whlthnll. on tho line of the Northern Pacific, between uutto nnd iOKnn, Montnnn hns another phenomenon In tho way of caves. Just ncross and opposite the Missouri river from Helena is n hiiiiiII stream cnlled Trout creek, a noted early day placer district. On ono side of this cliff Is nn opening resembling a prospect hole, some twclvo feet in width and nbout 110 feet deep. Mack Dorian, along In UG5, decided to explore this cavo nnd was low ered witn a rope. Whllo tho tomneraturo was nulte worm at the surface, Dorian discovered that nt tho bottom tho hole was lined with Ice. No mnttcr how hot It gets leo 1m nlwnys to bo found ut tho bottom of tho well, and In extremely hot wenther ranchers hnvo availed themselves of this refrigerator to keep their meats cool. Prospects havo been sunk to a far greater depth In the valley doiow, nut no ico wns encountered. Mr. F. D. Arnold, Arnold, la., writes: "Ho was troubled with kidney disease about three years. Had to get up several times during tho night, but three bottles of Foley's Kidney Cure ctfoctcd a complete cure. He feels bettor than ho over did and recommends it to his friends.
