wyonins's fine Exhibit AT n Ex-
position Complete and n Success.
The Denver News yesterday devoted
considerable space to the Wyoming de
partment at the Denver Exposition and
the report is certainly a very favorable
one. Says the News
The commissioners of Wyoming have
completed the arrangement of their ex-
hibit with very satisfactory results.
The Pavilion is n of the finest look
ing in the whole building. In the CEN
ter of a square "A feet by 20 fleet is a high
pyramid of lne bituminous coal
representing the product of six
different districts. The veins repre-
sented vary from four to forty
feet in thickness, and the quality
of the fuel is excellent. On the north
ern corner is a pyramid of wood repres-
enting 10, 000, 900 acres of pine, larch
and spruce. One sample of pitch pine
is forty-two inches in diameter, and
was taken from a tree over 300 years
old. Tbs tree grew 1890 feet above
the ocean, and yielded some 5,400 feet
of inch boards. 1t was cut by Beard &
Thomas, of Cummins City. On the
southeast is the greatly admired u foot
pyramid of sulphate of soda, from
Albany county, Wyoming. This soda
arrived in one block, but had to be
sa wed in order to exhibit 1t. 1t repres-
ents a 15-foot vein of almost chemically
pure material. West of the soda is
another monument of silver and copper
ores, and on the remaining corne is a
pyramid of red hematite, or iron ore,
posits in the Laramie range at Rawlins,
and in the Seminole mountains. On
each side, between the pyramids, are
cases filled with gold, silver, copper,
iron, soda bicarbonates, asbestos, mica,
gypsum, kaolin, etc.
Connecting the cases on each side are
arches bearing appropriate inscriptions,
while facing the main promenades are
handsome fronts supported on n
mental columns and bearing statistics
of the output of the territory. From
the top of the central column of coal to
the r of the square hang ~testoons
of bright bunting, connecting and en-
livening the whole, while on top Of the
cases is a choice collection of animals
heads and birds. Inside its square are
tables loaded down with glassware con-
tanning much valuable industrial ma
terial. On II are samples of the
wonderful deposits of bicarbonate of
soda, from Sweetwater valley of mag
nesia from Rock Creek I; graphite from
Laramie mica from Albany county,
and sulphur from Evanston. On an
other table are samples of the warm
springs of Carbon county, warranted to
cure as many diseases as the best patent
medicine and bottles of petroleum of
the best ~lubricating sort, from the
newly discovered basins of Uinta,
Sweetwater, Carbon, Albany and Lara
mi counties. On another are micas,
kaolin, capable of making as fine china
as the best foreign clays, from Red
Buttes; the mineral paint used by the
Union Pacific railroad from Rawlins ; a
natured quick-lime, used for whlte-wash
and plastering just as it is dug from the
moss agates that are the subject of
many anxious inquiries from the ladies.
On the other stands are piles ofasbestos,
found in large quantities in Albany
county, and gypsum and albaster equal
to the best imported. Around the base
of the coal are fine specimens of grant
ties, mable, t~rachyte. and building stone,
and an excellent display of the products
of the Union Pacific railroad rolling
mills at Laramie.
The floor is neatly carpeted, and
chairs are provided for ladies while ex-
aiming the wonderful products of a
region that has been hitherto but slight
ly known.
The plan and arrangement of the
exhibit, and the artistic taste shown in
the grouping and coloring, reflected
great credit upon Governor Hoyt, who
designed it. Governor Hoyt and Prof.
Bailey have taken their coats off and
worked like beavers to make their ex-
hibit a success, and are now enjoying
the fruits of their labors in the un-
stinted praise given by all visitors to
