nth the very first. Her space
n the building is on the main
,ntrance, and her exhibit does
|0ll credit to the prominent place
assigned her. Entering the
main door from the south the T
first state on the right is Colora-
do. Following in order are Mon
tana, Utah and California. OPP
posite these among the foreign
nations are Mexico and Brazil.
The Mexican exhibit is valued
at several million dollars and
Idaho does well to compare with |
her, and indeed many visitors
will be more than pleased with
Idaho than with our neighboring
country. 1t is in place here to
mention that Idaho has two of
the Mexican cases, the finest at
the exposition, which cost 5000 a
piece.
The little notice that has been
given to the mining exhibit is
due to the fact that the curtains
were not taken down to admit
the public till the LIST of June.
This delay was cot due to any
fault on the part of the Idaho
commission, but the exposition
contractor had not finished the
pavilion by. the 10th of May
which should have been ready by
the Let Of April.
OF course it is only by COM
parison that the worth Of any
thing is known, and when the
visitor has seen the many mag
nifcents exhibits OF the other
countries from all over the world,
he can but remark that Idaho
excels them all in many respects.
The exhibit is indeed a splendid
tribute TO the resources of the
state, and is a certificate of abil-
ity to Mr.. Alliene Case, who has
the charge of this department.
There is nothing among any of
the others that can compare with
the huge Jumps Of galena from
the Coeur d. Alenes and Wood
River, the green copper ores from
the Seven Devils, the concen-
trates from all over the state,
and the bars of bullion and mug
gets of argentite from the De
Lamar. Some Of the others have
imitation silver bricks, but Idaho
has one of pure metal valued at
$4,000. ......
Entering the pavilion, which
no one can help know is Idaho
for the name in large gilt letters
appears in many different parts
of the place, one sees at the fa1
end an artistic pyramid of ores
In the center is the Seven Devils
copper and on either side is {
triangle Of bright galena. TIL,
borders are also of copper, ane
the other sides OF different ores
The first thing near the main en-
trance Is two pieces of sawed jas

together weigh 8,100, and thes
are covered with bright galen.

On the right is a platform exten

which contains the large humps

On the opposite side is row q

black velvet, and on this
