Il PITTSBURG MODEL.
Sculptor and -4rchitect W0rh'ine
Together.
Pittsburg, June 6, 1903.


While your FatirOn continues to furnish cur
rent entertainment and divide with Gotham riva
skyscrapers the awe of he Pittsburg visitor, We
are ourselves rejoicing in the recent acquisition
OF 4 structure which the architects, Messrs Alden
& Harlow, and the sculptor j. Massey Rhind
assert is of the most distinctive achieve
meats III architectural sculpture in America. The
building is the Farmers Deposit National Bank
1t is tWenty-siX stories high fashioned of white
marble in the style OF the early Renaissance and
is said to be of the largest and finest office
bu idings in the world. But its chief claim to
distinction lies in the harmony displayed be-
tween architect and sculptor.
THE long estrangement between architecture
and sculpture in this country-an estrangement
still iagrantly obvious in all our cities" said a
We'll known architect the other day-'is largely
due 10 the overwhelming desire of the majority
OF scul Dtors to have their work stand out indie
pcnGently, like a canvas the line, in
exhibit obliyious of the nharmonious note it
may strike with its neighbor. One Of the great
est obstacles to a happy union of these kindred
arts is the average scuptor's reluctance to have
his work subservient to a component part of
the architectural whole"
This tardness in the harmonious blending of
the arts, retorted a sculptor, may be laid az
the door of the architects, who until very re-
Gently, fearful of losing client have been Ioath
10 bIlnG before them the aesthetic value of
sculptural decoration, since it exacted increased
expenditure of money"
Between the architects of the Farmers De
post National Bank and the sculptor Pittsburg
critics happily see only accord and the result is
something not sufficiently in American
architectural sculpture.
j Massey iihind is of trio of foreign
trained sculptors who, coming to this country
on the eve of the American Renaissance which
thc Worlds Fair marked, distinctively iden-
titled with the scuptural decoration of public
buildings.

This section IS not lacking IN
beautiful and picturesque scenery,
but all Texas abounds in natural
beauty-it is tie grandeur Of the
scenery in this region that is pee
uliar to it. 1t is a common sight to
see clouds drifting against the sides
of mountains, the peaks of which
are far up in the clear sky, and
these mountains are around the be-
holder on every hand.

bears It's peak at an elevation Of
1000 feet above the level OF the sea.
Any lover of mountain scenery may
come to this section and enjoy him
self to the full. The mountains are
not, indeed, snow-capped; they are
not high enough for that, but the
adventurer's foot that. aspires to
scale them will be satisfied when
their SUBMITS are reached.
Whether they have valuable min
erals is a question yet to be settled.
Many gold and silver claims have
been located among them, but no
shafts have yet been sunk to make
satisfactory tests. To the southwest,
nearer the Rio Grande, there are
some quicksilver mines and also
some paying silves mines that are
being worked, but these are rather
out of the region. The gold and sill

have satisfied the cupidity of the
wealth seekers who have come tC

indicate that fruit growing viii
