the Temescal mines in California is
also on exhibit. In the gallery is al
extensive exhibit OF American tin
plate by a number OF manufacturers
Here l thought Of Mckinley and his
bill, and was just going to joke my
good democratic friend, the mayor, a
little, when discovered that he had
hurried by and was looking at the
aluminium exhibit, 4 little further
ahead. In the California depart
ment saw gold nuggets, silver, red
tourmaline, aluminium, borax, salt,
roofing slate, marble, asphalt, onyx,
and a gold washing pan formerly
ownetl by Marshall. Idaho has a
great mining exhibit, especially in
silver and lead. 1t is needless to say
that we found the gentleman in
charge to be pronounced free silver
man. Conspicuous in the extensive
Montana exhibit stands the great
silver statue OF Justice, in the figure
OF q female, (modeled after Ada Re
han, weighing ~ tons, and measur-
ing 6 it. in height above PEDESTAL.
There she stands, blushing and feel
ing cheap, because her intrinsic value
has deprecated to such an extent OF
late, that she is hardly worth TO
squeeze. She is not worth her weight
in gold, not even at the ratio 16 to
L. Bi-metalist that / have always
been, | could not help but feel real
sorry for her. A model of a coke
factory was interesting to see. Col
orado exhibited silver and gold mug
gets, Mexico has q display which
shows the vast mineral resources of
that country. Diamond washing in
Africa, Cape OF Good Hope, asillus-
trated by means Of machinery in
operation, also the process OF scour-
ing, polishing etc. Minnesota makes
rather poor showing us a mining
state, although she ranks among the
first states in the Union in the pro-
duction of iron ore. The iron ores
found in the Mesaba and Vermillion
ranges are very rich, yielding as high
as 20 per cent iron. Specimens Of
iron ore, slate, and granite, and a
model OF the Chandler mine is the ex-
tent OF our exhibit. Hydraulic min
ing is illustrated in miniature in the
Oregon mining display. Small mug
gets OF gold were yisibleina trough,
but GLANDS OFF, was the warming of
the man in charge. Louisiana ex-
hibits Lots wife in solid salt look
ing toward Sodom. Iowa shows a
miniature coal mine and miners at
work; Utah, Arizona, New Mexico,
Colorado, and Wyoming have extern
sive displays OF gold, silver, copper
and other minerals; Kansas has
zinc and lead. A beautiful statue,
"Silver Queen" is from Aspen, Colo
RADIO. I saw a. reproduction OF the
celebrated gsld nugget: "The Vel
come valued at $41 1873. The
Ward Natural Science establishment,
Rochester, N. Y, has interesting col
lections OF rocks, precious stones and
meteorites. A reproduction was seen
OF a meteorite weighing !, O15 lbs. Ger
many exhibits amber and column re-
presenting value in gold, OF Empire
mine, Germany, in 1891. Let me say
right here that it was demonstrated
to my own eyes in this building that
the world produces more gold than
had any idea OF, and the claims OF
some ultra silver men that the
worlds supply of gold is decreasing
yearly, does not seem warranted by
the facts. Still | believe that gold
and silver are twin brothers and
should share our affections. Silver
will be used as money in our country
for many years to come. It is really
the big brother in this case, anil has
become SO powerful and cheap that
it came near sending the yellow
brother out Of the country entirely
reducing lis to silver basis. Cheap
money always drives out the dearel
money. The two metals will have
lively scramble in the extra session
OF Congress, which in interest and ex-
element will surpass Buffalo Bill's
Wild West show, and all the fakes in
Midway Plaisance. And now, Au
RevOir.
