A Denver News correspondent describes a vast lava bed and extinct volcanic crater along the Taylor state road between Glenwood Springs and Gypsum. The bed, about 1000 feet deep and a half mile long, bears stalactites, subterranean chambers, and Indian relics. While some gold and silver values exist in spots, mining proved unprofitable.
