drayags rates, care OF exhibits, while In
The Exposition, rates Of insurance on
valuable features, based as far as possi-
BILE on figures given 10y the chiefs OF the
departments at Chicago, have made the
following estimate, while merely approx
innate mas be Of interest. The estimate
Is only based on assured charges, no es-
innate being made OF the freight rate 10
Chicago as now established, while the
entire exhibit is considered TO constitute
not more than four hundred tons in the
aggregate:
Cost of collecting and sembo
ling the exhibits Of the
several counties on the lines
of railroads, including the
salaries Of the County Com"
nissioners, boxing, printing,
ireishtins, etc ,........... $4,000 90

This estimate | believe most conserva.
tive, and II anything expressing sum
less than will actually be reqnred.0n
this estimate 5000 approximately re-
mains for the payment OF freight on the
transportation Of the four hundred tons
to Chicago over The railroads. While
under the present tariff that will hardly
deirav one.third OF such expense, 1 be-
lieve that such concessions from the
roads can at least bs obtained that will
bring the cos, Of transportation within
that amount, should, though, the same
liberality be displayed towards the ex.
hibitors of Arizona as elseshere-and
which the commissions should insist on,
this balance can be utilized In the con.
s,ruetion OF a Territorial building, or in
otherwise enhancing the attractions OF
the Territorial display.
