PLACE 1-BEAUTY
Lehman Cave In Nevada Sur-
prising Natural Wonder.
Has Recently Been Converted Into a
National Monument Through
Presidential Proclamation. '
The little town of Baker. Ni-v nes-
tled at the feet of the famous Snuka
range of mountains und In the very
iiaduw of Mount Wheeler or JefT
Davis peak as It U more affection-
ately known locally hus suddenly" be-
come famous through the dedication
of Lehman cave as a nationul monu-
ment by Presidential proclamation.
Lehniun cave Is located barely three
miles from this point consequently
Baker is retleeted In the glory of the
newly admitted national wonder.
The discovery of the great cav Is
credited to Hayes IViok a pioneer
prospector who followed the golden
lure of the desert in the early days
when the great western deserts called
the youii'j manhood of the land to
seek for the elusive treasure. How-
ever to "Ab" Lehman for whom It Is
named is given full nieiisure of credit
for the development of the cave and
for Its acceptance us a national monu-
ment. Mr. Lehman spent some ten
years opening up a good passageway
and constructing ladders for the ac-
commodation of visitors. C. C. Boak
of Tonopah took tip the work after
Mr. Lehman and is personally re-
sponsible for the governmental action.
The dedication was made a most
elaborate affair and hundreds of peo-
ple attended from the entire state and
acroM the line In Utah. The gov-
ernor of the state was represented
as also was the federal government.
The event was a gala day with a
rending of the presidential proclama-
tion a musical program and the cus-
tomary firing of a salute a Old Glory
was raised to a peak adjoining the
mouth of the cavern. '
This town located on the Grand
Central highway entertains n con-
stant stream of visitors and It Is an-
tleipafd that more than ever will
lake advantage of the slight side-trip
to Lehmnn cave.
Lehman cave Is reputed to be one
of the finest and also one of the
largest In the country. It is u verlta;
ble natural wonderland. The mam-
moth cave li beneath tin old volcanic
crater but. bears no resemblance to
the former fiery pit. In fact the re-
verse is found In Lehman cave. Here
Ice and now hold sway: . Stalactites
and stalagmites are the chief attrac-
rlon or are responsible for all the
attractions. . They reach up and down
In massive columns of lee eventually
touching in mid-cave and fufnlng
mammoth pillars and other queer and
fantastic shapes.
In spots the celling of the cave ap-
pears a mile removed and the stalac-
tites dotting the roof like stars in
the heavens appear uncountable.
Again the fc-tnatlon is so low it is
necessary to negotiate considerable
rilstanvs on the hands and knees.
One such spot Is of considerable length
and hns been named "Fat Man's M.s-
ery." ' A unique feature is nn ordinary
sized bathtub of Ice always filled
with clear cold water. There are an
endless number of wonders contained.
In this beautiful palace of Ice. Tc
mention a few: The Parachutes Fiiry
rose bush Hden's bower Queen Vic-
toria's si I. saddle. Giant's sw -rd.
Cave Man's den. pink room AngiVs
wing Madonna and Child. Naajo
blanket Niagara falls In winter
Washington's tomb and GrauL'8
tomb. Ench of these name has Deen
applied together with myriad othors
thvougb nonie particular resemblance
slne tminily the resemblance is most
pronou icud.
Almost midway through the mare of
"Ingrowing Icicles." Is Lalie Como a
plac.d pool of crystal waters filtered
through 80C feet of lime formuilou sc
pure as to be tasteless. - -
