DISCOVERY of a CAVE --
A magnificent natural cave was discovered in El Dorado county a few days
since. It is located upon the Whisky Bar road, and abreast of the Cave
Valley marble quarry. A letter in the 'Standard' has the following in
reference to it:

"Some men who were at work there, excavating for a lime-kiln, broke through
into a cave, which, he says, is the most magnificent sight he ever saw;
and, judging from specimens which he exhibited, I think it worth while to
pay a visit, and shall try to go up tomorrow. Mayor SWAN (of Placerville),
was exploring for 2 hours; visited several large rooms of several hundred
feet in length, by nearly as many broad, until he was brought to a halt by
a lake, the extent of which is as yet unknown. The floor, as stalactites,
are all of a beautiful white crystallized marble."
