light many of the beautiful sculptures of the
mausoleum-among others, the fragments Of
the statue of King Mausolus (now pieced
together in the British museum) and a por-

building. Many fragments of lions, dogs.
ETC., were found Portions of friezes, of fine
design and workmanship, the subjects Of
which invariably are Greeks in conflict with
Amazons, have also been dug up. The plan
of the basement of this mausoleum has been
traced, the area being 126 feet by 100 feet
It consisted of basement IS feet high, on
which stood an Ionic colonade 2313 feet

A SPLENDID BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY
Presents Itself to Contractors, Housebuild-
ers and Real Estate Investors
AT M'KEEsPORT PA


All the works in this lively young city
are in full operation and business men are
preparing for booming fail season. But one
complaint is heard and that is scarcity Of
houses.
The Boston Iron and Steel Company, q
new feeder to the immense National Tube
Works, has completed its new extensive
works and has employed 200 iron workers,
and will employ as many more in the near
future
The new Monongahela Blast Furnaces are
now in full operation, employing about 300
newly arrived workers.
The United States Iron and Tin Plate
Manufacturing Co. are doubling their ca
has made and is yet making very large ex-
tensions. About LOCO newcomers, with
their families, must be furnished with homo
and shelter. The Highland Land Company,
limited, owns large plan, of lots within
four or five minutes walk from these i'm
mense establishments, on healthful ele-
vation, easily accessible by paved street,
and supplied with water and light from the
city of McKeesport. On this hill is a large
grove of magnificent forest trees (Highland
Groye), partly used as public park, and
the view from the hill into the valley is one
of the if not the finest along the beautiful
Monongahela valley. Highland Grove al
eady has a population of from 1000 to
1000 people, who are employed in the older
establishments. The Highland Land Com
pany, limited, is composed ofliberal-minded
men They were the cause of securing for
McKeesport the Boston Iron and Steel
Works, by making the company donation of
500, 900 worth of real estate, and they have
spent large sums for improving streets and
opening squares for public use. The High
land Land Company, limited, is now ready
to make liberal arrangements with people
who will come and build houses for them
selves or for the employees in the works, or
with business men who will come and build
business houses for the accommodation of
the people.
