An effort Is being male TO arrang>
for a grand reunion at the Worlds Fair
of surviving "49-ers" .the men who
left their homes n the East in 1S49, to
become gold-hunters in California. Ii
is thought that several thousand OF
them a, e still living, and that all would
make an extra effort to GO to Chicago
next year, were a reunion arranged as
is proposed. Many OF them remained
in California, but the majority re-

The most approved methods of arti-

he exhibited at the Worl is Fair.
These processes will be shown in a very
fine building, 130x255 feet, and five
stories high. with observatories at the
corners and lofty tower at the centre.
About eighty tons of ice will be manu-

this statement. There, and indeed in
all parts of the city, the amount of
building which is going on is simply
astonishing. Hundreds of structures
to meet Worlds Fair demands are be-

are large enough to accommodate sew

time the Fair opens Chicago will have
living accommodations for not less than
800, 900 strangers. Connected with the

boarding houses, furnished rooms, etc,

at reasonable charges.
