The head, neck and shoulders of the
figure of California show the perfection of
the sculptor's art.
The expression on the face is admirably
defined.
1t is full of life and character from an
artistic standpoint.
The casting has been done most credit
ably; In fact it is difficult to see how it
could be possible 70 do 1t better.
IL is not yet six months since the contract
was awarded and the progress already
made is most gratifying
Besides the central group there will be
two lesser groups. each eight feet in height,
representing different stages of CALIFORNIA;
history, and two single figures representing
industry and commerce.
There will be also four panels.
The firm has over two years vet to complete
the contract, which will give them ample
time.
To undertake this work the firm had to
put in large lotion crane and build a new
eore-oven, the largest in the city, for drying
m0lds before being cast.
Ii took fifteen tons or iron to make the
necessary tools for handling the work.
They have an equipment second to none
In the United States.

the firm, is thoroughly experienced at the
