every turn in the Doctors apartments
Most Of all, which attracted his atten-
ton was a cabinet containing.over / 400
specimens, nearly all from Utah mines
and quarrieS, and which the gentleman
values At 81 600. Then around the rooms
are pictures of persons and scenes of
foreignlands, flowers, birds and an extern
l'sive library. containing very valuable
collection of scientific works, magazines
and pamphlets, all of which are precious
as sources of information in Mr. Brede-
