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
