A Visit to the Mounta.n--Appea.ranc of the Crack--A Vate'fall of OLiC Foot 1igh The Bat Caves and the Icy Wind Fissures, 3.id Mountain is a knob on the eastern end of a spur jutting from the Blue Ridge, running acrose McDowe 1 comnty, N. C. 1t is about thirty miles ioim the S.mth Carolin:a border, eighty from GGor gia, and fully sixty from the Ten nessee line. The unfinished Vest ern North Carolina R.ailroad, from Salisbury to Asheville, runs within thirty miles of i.e mountain. The famed Chimn:ey R.ck faces old B day, as it is c.alod, and Vance's i Nose flanks it on the west. All are celebrated peaks, an,] all are ribbed by rocks from 300 to 1,200 feet high. Chimney M>untain and Vance's Nose are crowned with crags, but old Bildy caps its cliffs with arable land, reaciled by it ridge or the east. The most of this land is a cattle range owned by Mr. H. F. Alford Although the highest and most celebrated, B.l Moun tain is really the most ins:gnificant of the three peaaks. Vanco's Nose, though almost inaccessible, af>'.)rds ore of the finest views in the State, and a cascade 950 feet high por s over the I:woe of the C:i.nnev Mountain. This vaterfall is even more beautiful than the Bridal Veil of Yosemite. It hugs the smooth rock in an exquisite curve. The falling water becones milky foam, and the wind ruffles it into snowy vinrows, which chase each other down the rock until lost in a shower of spray. The Broal River, a branch of the ConIgaree, sweeps between the poakcs, and has cut a canon fully 2,OOJ feet in depth. About six weeks ago Mr. Alford went up on Bald Mountain to look after missing cattle. While p.issing through the woods, ho stepped upon a line of red earth, and felt himself sinking in the ground. He caught the limb of a tree, and was saved. The earth caved in, reveal ing a crack varying from one to six feet in width, and about 150 yards long. It was a fresh crnck. Mr. Alford had passed the line repeat edly within a fortnight, and found the earth solid. The secret of the missing c tttle was explained. Trees had disappeared, and the ground around the crack gave a hollow sound. On his approaohing the edge of the fissure, the earth crack ed and crumbled, and the prudent farmer did not attempt to ascertain its depth. He contented himself by building a fence on each aide of the crevice, for the protection of his cows. The discovery, however, was quickly noised about. A party of maoonshiners or illicit whiskey dis tillers visited the fissure, and tried to fathom it. Huge stones were rolled into it. Their crashing died away into muffled thunder and wvas finally lost. Th'ereupon the moon.. shiners inferred that thle crack was unfathomable. After a discussion over the strange noises that came from the bowels of the mountain four years ago, they were satisfied that the fis0ure was caused by an earthquake, and so declared. A day or two afterward two negroes and a Norfolk drummer climbed the mountain. They hunted for the crevico with groat diligence, but the drummer lacked nerve. HEe mistook the fames of an illicit still for sulphur, and beat a hasty re treat. It was reported that he had discovered an old crater, and been nearly suffocated with brimstone. The maoonshinera declared that they had felt the shook of an earthquamke, and predicted the eruption of ai volcano. 'The country is thinly settled, but the rumors reached Hfendersonville and Asheville gar nisbed ,in fine style, and were telegraphed to New York. They said that Bald Mountain had boen split in twain, described the crash. ing of rooks,. splintering,. of trees, and sme,ll of .sulphyr,s widened ,the -assure to tWr$y f,et, anti sent the in btante leeiilg in every direo4 vicinity scomed to know and care but little about the discovery. Our only guides were the moonshiners. They sprang up the mountain like cats. The weather was very warm, and the ride very stoop. We found the crack without difficulty. It ru.s along the edge of the peak and not across it. The crack ex tends along the shelf of the rock, 500 foot from the verge. It re selublos a crack in an immense brick work. The fissure is irregu lar. For some distance it is Vertical, but afterward becomes horizontal and so remains. It daily bocomes longer, but does not in crease in width. In n' place is it wider than six feet. Stones were thrown into it, and all %Nere satis fled that they could hear them strike the bottom. A slope of red clay on either side makes it dan gerous to exunino the crevice, but with some difficulty a log was thrown across, and all peered into its depths. Blank darkness alone could be seen. There was a smell of decad leaves, but no scent of sulphur. The ground was humpy, and "Awlford's" cattle were watch ing our operations over, the rough fence. It is evident that no earthquake has caused the break. No one claims to have felt a shock since 1875. an.1 persons living at the foot of the wountain declare that they fclt none at that time. The spring his been exceedingly wet, and this undolubtedly accounts for the crevice. A week's rain might send millions of tons of rock down into the valley. In times past great hl ocks have fallen out. Mr. 3;ackett, who lives at the foot of the 1unn)tltain. stys he has repeated ly seen these slides. One occurred two weeks ago, causing a great crashing and roaring. Chimney peak is gashed with fallen rocks. Arches a thousand feet long are left by them, and craggy hips and shoulders project from the mnoun tain. Nor is this all. In two places a whole section of the moun, tain has been split ;uto rocks and sunk hundreds of feet below the top. The rock appet,rs to be a coarse granito, lumpy with qu.rtz, Caves and flisures are numerous. Within the caves the qu'rtz is set so regularly that it looks like the grain of the rock. The crystals undoubtedly lessen the adhesive qualities of the rock, and the slides and strange noises once hoard in the heart of Bald Mountain are caused by the action of water under the nJuntain. The rocks are un, clernined, and sink, leaving caves and crumbling peaks. The whole country is a network of streams. Three groat whirl.. pools, from twelve to twenty feet across, funnel themselves within + half a mile of Bald Mountain. Fence rails are sucked into them, and never reappear. Soundings have been made, but no bottom has been discovered. Probably the strongest proof of the water theory are the wind (rovices of Chimney peak. A hugo rock elbows its way to the surface a few hundred feet above the base of the mountain. This rock is cracked in three places. An icy wind rushes fromt two of these crevices. Mandrakes, ferns, shrubs and tops of trees six bun dred yords away are shaken by this wind. Mr. Freeman, living in a house a mile distant, declares that his cheeks are fanned by this icy ofez while sitting in the archway ofhis log house. With all its strength the wvind is steady, and the temp)eratuIre the same both in winter and summer. The density of the cold air sends it down into the canon, making it a delicious retreat in dog days. The cracks are from tweolve to fifteen inches wide and about twenty feet long, ' A few feet of blasting would un. doubtedly open a very large catve, possibly resembling tbe ice caves of Mexico. The wind comes so strong from the crevices that tbe hats of visitors are frequently sent spinning down the sideO of the mountamn, and the air is so cold that a few breoaths of It chilled me to the bone, These crevices undoubtedly lead to the interior of the motlutain.. F~ar above them, at the base of the* cliffs, lie the great bat caves of the Broad River, dozens in num~ber. A steady stream of bats pour fromi their depths at twilight, and eIrele around th~e montain, The .najives say that there are mQ)llons of t~hep but our'parff eztlored oge of h jeates and foun tory tew
