MYSTIC CYPRESS SWAMP, one of the phenomena of Nevada's Lehman's Cave, will be shown visitors at "Nevada's Lehman's ' Caves Day," September 5. The famed National monument, located lo-cated near the Utah-Nevada border about 60 miles southesat of Ely, will be featured in a cel ebration sponsored by the White Pine Chamber of Commerce, and Snake Valley ranchers. A program pro-gram of free tours through the caves, music and dancing, a free barbecue, and a short dedication of the new highway to the caves has been arranged. The "Cypress Swamp" pictured above is one of series of subterranean chambers cham-bers which were explored about 50 years ago when Rancher Abe Lehman's saddle mare stum-led stum-led into the brush-covered portal. The cave had been used by sup-, erstitious Indians as a ritualist-burial ritualist-burial groud.
