Discover Cavern In A Tenn. County Cavern With History Of Years Is Located Only 2fl Miles From Boone. Watauga Democrat. There is, as many of our people know a spring near jtbe Grant home on upper Roans creek, in Jolmson county, Tenn., known as "Fish Spring." out of which older people of the community say. before and since the civil war, myriads of cave fish, at a certain season of the year, came out and followed the spring branch to Roan creek. An elderly gentleman of that section was heard to relate this some_ weeks ago by the editor of this paper. Tho.s3 were the days of iron forges, when a tilt hammer was used to draw out the bars when the heated metal was taken from the furnace. It requir ed quite a number of men to oper ate a primitive iron plant, one of which was located near the Fish Spring, a watering place for the laborers. The owner of the forge found that in many instances, the workmen, after slaking their thirst, which was Tather often—forging ! was ver*y hot work—they would lose time catching fish or watching them emerge from the earth, making their way to freedom in the ten sparkling waters of the historic creek. Accordingly, in order to stop this profligacy of time, he ordered that a lot of cinder from the forge be hauled and poured into the bowl of the spring, which was done. The water continued to flow, but never afterward was a fish known to come out of the spring. Wh^n a fe9X.JiUiiscribc was vcrJ’ much 1 ivtf rested «n this story and he, with a cousin, Mr. Sam Rhea who also had an ambition to ex plore what we believed to be a great subterranean cavern, set about to investigate. At the foot of the great boulders a miniature lake or con siderable depth. Young Rhea, the real explorer, made for himself a small boat and with paddles In hand started on his voyage. But lo, wheti he had gone only a short distance, his lakelet contracted and there his first hopes failed him. The would be discoverer knew of a hole on top of the mountain severaj hundred feet above. We had rolled great stones into it, and listened to their bounding from side to side until at last they made a clear drop to the depths below. In after years, large stones and even rails and logs were chunked into the yawning hole until it was choked some distance down, being explored later on ty Bruce, now Dr. Rhea. He went down on a windlass far, far bfclow the surface, but was unable to pass the obstruction. But back to the story. The state | highway commission of Tennessee got permission from Dr. Rhea to set a heavy rock crusher at the foot of the limestone cliff to provide rock for the surfacing of the road. The machinery had not been in place long ere the steam drills had cut their way deep into the solid lime stone and the further they cut the more convinced were they that a. cavern was Just ahead. All summer they have pounded away, finding sometimes a hole in which was found well defined stalactites and in one instance the workers found the heavy bones of some animal 24 feet below the surface and about the same distance back in the elitf. The week before last a heavy shot was put in and it was decided that Sam Rhea and Bob Rivers 'vers prophets a half century ago when they said, “There is a cave and a 81V BIO DAYS PORTRAYING N.C RESOURCES o Worth Carolina STATE FAIR RALEIGH, N.C.
