of the Ell Paso & Northeastern, who is
in Immediate charge of the collection
and arrangement of the exhibit to be
put in by the Ell Paso & Northeastsru,
was In Ell Paso yesterday and stated
that he was arranging to secure .

termed after one of the most magni
fcent cabinets in Denver.
The mineral will lie upon velvet, and
the case will be lighted by concealed
electric lights, causing a sparkling
and brilliant effect. The E5dys never
do this sort of thing by halves. Mr.
Greig needs rothing more than the

have been granted him, to make the
White Oaks display in the Ell Pase

thing of the kind in the west.
There has been little delay in iaish-
ing the walls of the chamber of COM
