fortitude to help me clear the obstruction to the major cavern with which it
connects which I know extends to a depth of 30,000 feet because it has been
drilled into and that much cable let out without hitting anything to drill in
and I will show anyone who is interested the entire set-up.
My grandfather is now dead unfortunately so
he can not verify the Indian stories mentioned, but if Mr. (L. Taylor) Hansen is as familiar
with Indian legends as he claims and really desires the truth, have him work
with the Shoshones and Blackfeet. Consider their tales of the demons who
work this countryside. Also investigate the story of the three immortals who
have been seen by many - to rescue them from a lethal situation.
Write me if you are interested in these
legends and any knowledge I have is yours. --- George Haycock., c/o Thriftway

next letter appeared later on pages 164-165 of the January, 1948 issue of
AMAZING STORIES:
Sirs: If you file your correspondence, you
will find a letter there from this writer which was written in the early part
of this year, advising you of reading my first AMAZING STORIES magazine and of
my interest in the mystery of the caves, especially the articles by Mr. Shaver.
I haven't missed a copy of A. S. since then and interest in the mystery of the
caves has grown until you may class me as an unofficial member of the CHMBS
(“Cave Hunters Mutual Benefit Society” - Branton). In fact, the purpose of this
letter is to inform you of a recent expedition to one of the caves for an
investigation.
For you and those interested in the
"air shaft" near Burley,
