About This Book

A first-person memoir relates how an early settler and his family moved to a frontier community and encountered a vast underground cavern, recounting its discovery, the initial commercial exploitation of bat guano, and the rudimentary exploration and camp life that followed. Another section outlines the cavern's deep geological history and the arrival of life within its chambers, while a later account describes the cave in its more developed, visited state, offering surface approaches and subterranean views. The book combines eyewitness recollection verified by local testimony with plain geological explanation and photographs to document the site's origins, early development, and present accessibility.

Transcriber Note

Some text was moved to avoid paragraphs being split by illustrations. Two images in the original volume were negative images of documents. These have been replaced with positive images with links to the original images. Transcriptions for images of printed documents are provided to assist the reader. As a handwritten and typeset version of Amended Notice of "Big Cave" Mining Claim were presented and labelled the same, "(Handwritten)" was added to the caption of the first image to distinguish them. Several transcribed copies contain typos as given in the original.
