AN PMKATORAIr PHENOMENON.
A SOO-Ton Rock Rolt«d Suva the Mountain
Does Through ^hsat River's Bottom.
From th* New York Ban.
Kingwood, w. Va., Oct. 22.—
About 15 miles north of this place,
along the Cheat river, can be seen
tome ol' the most rugged and inspir
|ng scenery to be found anywhere
in West Virginia, if ndt in North
America, east of the Rocky Moan
tsins. On either side of the river,
for probably half a mile, there it a
perpindicular wall. From the top
of these walls, or cliffs, on the east
side of the river, the craggy and
timbered mountain, with a slope of
about 60 deg., looms up more than
2,000 feet Near the top of this
mountain hat stood for unknown
ages a.great rock, measuring 20 feet
from the top to bottom, and averag
ing about 18 teet in thickness. It
contained about 9,480 cubic feet of
hard, flint-like limestoue, and allow
ing too pounds to each cubic foot,
the weight of the monster was 048,.
000 pounds or324 tons. Just below
and against the tower side of this
rock was a large oak tree which
seemed to be the only support the
rock had to keep it from dashing
down into the river.
I first heard of the rock a few
weel-s ago from a party of King-
wood voting men, who had been
from down in that region examining
an extensive cave, which they ex-'
ilorcd from an entrance near the
ank of the river to a considerable
distance in the mountain without
finding either beginning or end, for
in some places it went tar down into
the earth, and in other places far
back and up into the mountain.
They said that it was the intention
of several persons who lived in that
neighborhood to cutaway the large
oak tree which stood below the
rock, and give the rock a start down
the mountain. On Wednesday.
Oct.7,one of the party received a let
ter informing him that a crowd had
been organized, and that the work
would begin on Saturday, the 10th.
I went down on Friday morning,
and on Saturday wen: to the scene.
There were ahout twenty-five per-
sons present from the neighborhood.
The work was done by a company
of six men organized for that pur-
pose. The tree was cut down, and
tell crashing over a considerable
precipice end lodged, but the great
rock stood unmoved. The next
thing to do was to find bow much
of the rock was imbedded in the
earth. Digging and shoveling con
tinued for nearly two hours, and,
owing to the steep slope on which
the men had to stand, it was no easy
work. Great care to he exercised
ai.-o, lor it was impossible to tell at
what moment the rock would start
thundering down the mountain. It
was decided to be too dangerous to
dig any longer, for the rock was
then apparently in a position to lose
its equilibrium from the slightest
touch. One ol the men pushed
against it with his hand, hut its
weight defied his strength. A lever
wn- cut, and a fulcrum was erected.
The lever was soon bending beneath
the united weight and_ efforts of
several men of no ordinary size,
was up the mountain probably
twenty yard* Iroin the rock to get
a good view ol its course to
the river, and was watching closely
for the start.
“Now she goes,” came to my
ears, and I could see the top ot the
great rock going out from the moun
tain—now slow, now faster, now a
crash, and then crashes upon crash
es. The scene presented by that
rock tearing and - thundering down
the mountain can be imagined, but
it cannot be described. It had a
tendency to confound the sense and
bewilder the reason. Great trees
were torn from the earth and hurled
into the air like ' twigs in a whirl
wind, and the trunks of mammoth
oaks were torn and slivered in quick
succession. On and on it went,
making a clean cut road from the
start. The mountain trembled, and
the spectator stood snell-bound.
The rock gained in speed as it near
ed the river, which was in view at
the lower end of the great limestone
walls. It now struck the last preci
pice, and, after going outward and
downward for more than 200 feet,it
fell into the river witi) a roaring
sound.
After the dust and leaves and fly
ing pieces of limbs had settled we
could see a peculiar action of the
water but were too far off to discover
the cause. A walk of more than a
mile arouna, as it was next to impos
sible to go straight down the moun
tain from where we were, brought
us to the river, but instead of seeing
the rock we saw the water rushing
from every direction down into a'
huge hole probably thirty feet square
During the half hour we were there
not less than ten saw logs were
drawn into the whirl and disappear
ed.
It is supposed that the cave ex
tends under the river, and that the
weight of the immense rock coming
down with sudden force and rapid
ity caused the roof to give way.
Whether or not the water will soon
fill the hole up and the river flow
on as before wit) depend upon the
extent of the cavern and the exis-
teiice of an outlet to carry the water
from the cavern to some other
stream or to some other part of the
country.
I left the district on Scsday af
ternoon, and the water was then I
•dll rushing down the hole,, carry-J
X some logs and other .floating
tnneewithit.
