> gmiij diaoov«*d o**« neat Pine Grove,
Amador oounty, California, and writes to
' tb* Sutter Greek Independent an aooount
of bit investigations. Mr. Stokes vouches
toe the exact truth of hi* nanative in
ovary particular, and w* doubt not the
r*ad*r will readily credit it, from the foU
lowing epeoimen description of one of
the eoambera tb* party entered. After
journeying for on* mile and a quarter
through tb* underground peeaagea Stokes
and hi* party found tbeuiulve* in a ‘‘long
but rather narrow chamber, the wells of
which war* not limestone, but a yellowish
brown and black iron ore.” This cham
ber beat* Sin bad's magnetic mountain,
whioh drew all the nails from bis ship,
and thn* caused it to fall to pieces, sli
hollow. Listen to Hr. Stoke* :
"Upon entering this chamber we no
ticed a moat peculiar disturbance of the
magnet, tb* needle constantly vibrating
from lid* to aide, and frequently whirling
around for a minute at a time with a velo
city which randersd it inviaible. We also
•xperimtoad a singular sensation—a sort
of otaill, appearing to oommenoe at the
book of the npok, and extending to the
very tip* of tb* Angara and toe*. As we
advanoed in ttala chamber w* found these
singular aanaationa to inoraaa* in intensi
ty, until it becamp almost unbearable.
W* vanturad on atill further, however,
though it bacams vary evident that we
could not long remain in that mysterious
plan*. I omitted' to mention that the
walla and door of this chamber, especially
■articular rock* therein contained, were
highly magnetic, and became more ao the
further we advanced toward the north.
0**of the- party who carried a hatchet
bad it suddenly wrested from him by a
magnetic rook near which he passed, sod
the combined strength of four of tu wee
inraOeient to detach It. A pocket-knife,
which accidentally dropped to the floor,
had to remain there, none of the party
aohW' of whioh worn filled with nalle,
oould walk with difficulty; and, happen
ing to atop upon n portion of the floor
unmuaUv magnetic, found himself sud
denly affixed thereto and unable to move.
Bo was oompalled to withdraw his feet
from liia boots and leave them there,
tearing up hla coat and wrapping tbs
pieces around bin feet to proteot them
from being cut by the rooks. We had re
mained In this enamber About ten min
utes, whan suddenly th* eUUingaanaation
began to looms*, th* feeling bains as if
a cold and piercing wind was blowing
upon us, and beoomlng each moment
mom intensely oold. We hastily retreat
ed, and soon raoobad, fooling more dead
than alive, tbs large chamber containing
