The Ornamental WOrk-Nnaf is To be

fuary--WOrk TO Cease Tuesday.

The completion of the elaborat tie
Etruscan tile flooring in the rotunda of
the State Capitol, the construction OF
the massive and beautiful rotunda rail,
and other inner decorations have been
explicitly noted in the Record. All
the inner work may be said to be COM
pleted, and about all that remains to
be done concerning the building is on
and about the exterior.
stt ~ THE sTATUARY. p 81
Nearly all the statuary upon the
upper walls of the building is i'll place.
The figures are mostly OF gigantic size,
and they were all modelled by Mezzara
and cast by the Artificial Stone Com
pany OF San Francisco. ~
Upon the southwest corner pedestal
stands the statue "FOrce." 1t is a female
firure in classic garments and wearing
a leonard skin about her body and over
one shoulder, the animals head resting
on her breast. She bears a drawn
sword and faces to the west. The fig
ure has graceful poise and figure, clear
Nv cut features, and is recognized as
the most natural of the statues yet up,
if we except the central figure OF the
group in the pediment over the MAIN
portion.
The next statue to this is on the west
wall, and is typical of "Peace.'" 1t is
male figure of Roman soldier In
full martial dress. He looks toward
the north, and is Just sheathing his
sword with his right hand, while In
his left, still behind him, is held the
olive branch. At his feet is a pillow, a
sheaf of wheat and broken column.
The next figure to go up, in order, is
that of "Verity,n and is OF like charac-
ter and will be in keeping with the
other statues. ;,
At the southwest corner of the pedl-
ment one more group remains to be
mounted. 1t is entitled "America,'
and represents an Indian woman
elasping her babe to her breast, and
mounted on horseback, the animal be-
ing attacked by buffalo. .I.#
Opposite to this and over the Oppo-
site corner of the pediment, is another
proup also entitled "America." This
Tenresents q nude Pawnee Indian
mounted upon his pony, and in the
attitude of hurting spear mt grizzly
hearwhich has risen upon his launches
and grappled the horse by the throat,
which IS recoiling from the shock,
This group has excited more criticism
than any of the work yet put up. 1t
il claimed the horse and rider are dis
nroportionate in size, and that the
rroiIn has not been modelled with due
care and proportion generally. j,
Upon the northwest corner pedestal
is the statue of a woman in Greclan
robes resting her arm upon an anchor,
around which wreath Is entwined;
This figure represents 'Prudence."
Next upon the south, is the statue e
"War,u-a Roman soldier with shield
advanced and grasping drawn Ial-
cion in the attitude of attack. Inc
figure stands in the debris OF fallen
columns and PROSTATE walls.

PRESCOTT, Feb. 2S.-This town is
very lively at present. Numbers of
miners and prospectors are starting
out daily and continually returning
bringing rich specimens and quite an
amount of bullion. The Tiger mine,
in which +. p. Forster, of San Diego,
and Frank Ganahl, of Los Angeles,
are largely interested, is being devel-
oped steadily, and as they go down the
lode widens and the quality of the ore
increases in richness. 1t H. expected
that q mill will be put in operation
early in the spring. Several new. dis
coveries have recently been made in
the vicinity of the Tiger Mine, and be-
fore another season rolls round, Brad
shaw City will be one of the livelicst
mining camps on the coast. 6s
