UNDERGROUND HALL
REMARKABLE DISCOVERY ANCIENT INDIAN MYSTERY (Australian and N.Z. Press Association.) DELHI, August 12. A remarkablo discovery was. made near Hyderabad, Sind, where a big underground hall with a roof supported by three great stone pillars and three ante-chambers shrouded in dust were found under the ruins of the palace of former rulers. Heavy floods causing the river to overflow into a nearby lake exposed the entrance. The cave was immediately sealed and guarded by Government orders.
It is recalled that in 1859 the British dethroned the rajahs and burned the palace following upon the mutiny, and local inhabitants for many years believed the site contained an underground cave filled with treasure, which was guarded by snakes placed there by the rajahs, who before they were deposed, ruled a large portion of Sind.
