A MINERAL PALACE.
The Novel Structure to be Erected by a
Colorado City.

PUEBLO, January 2d.-Pueblo has decided to
build mineral palace. The idea has been en-
tertained some time. and is now taking definite
shape. 1t is designed to erect a building about
200 by 200 feet, constructed of heavy timbers en-
tirely concealed in fragments OF minerals from
the mining regions tributary to the Pueblo.
Such as will be suitable for the purpose are iron
ore, galena, lead csTbonateS, coal, coke, copper
ore ,crystalized lead ,spegeleisen and oreof man
ganese, nickel ore, iron and copper pyrites, iron
mental stones, iucluding granite and marble,
mica, asbestos, etc. Within the building 1t is
hoped 10 place specimens, as large as can be OBJ
tanned, from every important silver and gold
mine in the United States ana Mexico. The
ambition now is to discount Sioux City's corn
palace, Minneapolis ice palace and Salt Lake S

merely of novelty but of value
