  • OUR NATIONAL MONUMENTS 57 cavern is lacking in large stalactites and stalagmites, but is extremely interesting, as is any large subterranean passage. The rooms of the cave are not of great size, the largest being perhaps 40 feet wide, with In the Shoshone Cavern a low ceiling about 8 feet high. At other points the openings run u]i to 50 feet or more, but the walls are only a few feet apart. No stranger should go into the cavern alone, and a party should provide themselves with more than one light. Competent guides
