The cave has been located as a mining claim and is supposed to have valuable guano. There is probably 20 bushels of dry bat dung & dust in the cave and below this dry loose earth. There are few small bones in the dirt, but not enough in sight to be of importance, The floor of the cave is dry and slopes down so as to be perfectly drained & digging would probably disclose some good bone deposits. 
The creek valley at the bat cave is a beautiful place to camp, good running water, a flat valley bottom with open parks & groves of live oaks and big spreading single trees, between the cliffy borders. One large Chihuahua pine grows by the creek and lots of cones along the creek banks indicate more pines above. 
There is said to be a patch of yellow pine farther up in the hills but most of these Mts. are Upper Sonoran, oak & Juniper covered.
