“The Devil’s Lookout is reached by a few steps.  It is a crevice about ten feet wide at the base and sixty-five feet in height.  This place is remarkable for its columns of rock just over head.  The pathway leads to Milton’s Study, some fifty feet distant.  Turning into the crevice again, some twenty feet are traveled when attention is called to Seal Rocks.  Sampson’s Palace is the next room in order:  here we see some stalagmitic water formation on the left wall and the ceiling is one of the most beautiful yet seen on the trip.

“We pass along to Swiss Scenery, a very prettily decorated room fifty feet in length by fifteen in height.  The box work is very pretty, shading from yellow to dark brown.  The general appearance of the room would suggest its name, it being rougher than any other in the immediate vicinity.  Passing under an arch we enter the Queen’s Drawing-room.  Here the box work has been developed beyond any on our pathway thus far.  From the ceiling it hangs like draperies and on the left wall is about twenty-four inches in depth.  On the whole this room is elegant enough for the most exacting queen.  We step from this room into the M.E.  Church.  Rev. Mr. Hancher, President of the Black Hills Methodist College, was I believe the first to hold song and prayer service in this room; the pulpit is on the left as you pass through.  The guides always ask if any wish to sing or worship, as any one has a perfect right in a dedicated Chapel.

“The Giant’s Causeway is only a few steps beyond.  This bit of scenery has some resemblance to the famed basalt attraction on the coast of Ireland.  We ‘duck’ our heads under the Arch of Politeness and rise to a standing position in Lena’s Arbor, a very irregular shaped room admired by a great many of our visitors.

“We enter Capitol Hall at the side, about midway between the ends.  It is the largest room yet visited, being some two hundred feet from end to end, with a very high ceiling.  Here we notice the walls and ceiling are bare of box work and other formation, and are clean and white.  The decorative appearance exceeds any room yet visited.  After getting into line again we go down a flight of stairs to Odd Fellows’ Hall, a chamber that on examination suggests its name.  In the ceiling is situated the ‘All seeing eye,’ one of the emblems of that august body, and at a little distance the ‘Three links;’ also in the ceiling, and just under the latter is situated a rock very much resembling a goat.  Attention is called to the first appearance of pop-corn work, a very peculiar formation resembling pop-corn after it has broken open, and in this part of the cave it is quite plentiful.
