Denver'e Show,

DENVER, Col, Aug. 2.-The Colorado
mining and industrial exposition is now
open, the inaugural ceremonies having
been very imposing and auspicious. More
than than twelve hundred state militia ap-
peared in the parade, ana at least 10, 900
visitors attended. Tho address Of Con-
gresham Kelley, of Pennsylvania, was con-
sidered ono of the finest pieces of oratory
ever delivered on the commercial interests
and mining future of the West. The city
is clothed in decorative attire in honor of
the event. Among the visitors ut the
opening there were many who had been to
all the recent expositions, including the
Centennial and Atlanta. They all agree that
the Colorado exposition is the best ad-
vanccd at the opening and the most prom
ising in results. The building covers more
than four acres. On May The cornerstone
was laid, ,and on July 18th the building was
completed. The marvels of thought and
handicraft united in producing miracle as
regards time. 1t is one of the most wonder
ful pieces of architectural and building skill
in the country. The lumber had to- be
sawed from trees then standing in the
forest; the brick made from the undisturbcd
clay of the earth; the stone quarried and
hauled from the mountains and worked:
the ground excavated, railroads built to the
location chosen, and many other details
too numerous to mention attended to.
Since the breaking of the ground-about
one hundred days-thc grand structure has
been erected and completed, and is now
receiving machinery of all kinds, ores,
and exhibits of every nature
from all parts of the continent. There
have been twelve thousand cubic yards of
earth removed, three hundred cords Of
