Text printed on reverse of stereocard: "DESERTED CHAMBER," Is a dreary looking room about 100 feet in length. The guide in the picture is entering the chamber from the narrow passage beneath the "Giant's Coffin." In "Wooden Bowl Chamber" adjoining this apartment a curious looking Indian bowl was found. The Indians used long reeds filled with deer's fat as torches to guide them through the cave.
