NUGGET WEIGHS A TON.
Product of Idaho's Silver Mines Will
Be Shown at Worlds Fair.

"A monster nugget or silver, weighing
more than ton, the largest single piece
of silver ore ever taken from the ground,
will be one of the features that the
State of Idaho will display in the Mines
and Metallurgy Palace at the Worlds
Fair in st. Louis.
This great State of the northwest rich
in many minerals, producing more than
60 per cent of the nations lead output,
and possessing soil that will grow al
most anything that can be raised in the
north temperature latitude, will concen-
trate her efforts in making great ex-
hibit of Idaho's richness in minerals,
agriculture and horticulture.
Clarence B. HURT, of Boise, the execu-
tive officer of the Idaho State Commits
sion, visited the Exposition grounds in
July, and conferred with the chiefs of
the various departments. He concluded
to ask for site on the wooded plateau
across Skinker Road from the Palace of
Agriculture, and overlooking the Machin-
cry Palace. The site desired adjoins
that selected by the California commits
sioners. Mr.. HURT says that Idaho will
erect splendid State pavilion
One unique and interesting display
will be shown in the thinning gulch".
This will reveal the Importance of the
wonderful opal mines of Idaho. These
precious stones are found in the north
central and southwestern sections of the
State.
The gems are found in the top soil
along the ravines, and in the valley
where they have been carried by the
water. The opal in the rough is in ap-
pearance not unlike the diamond. Some
of the gems found are no larger than the
head of a pin, while others are as large
as walnut. The opal when found is
usually oval in form, and resembles a
piece of dull, yellow glass. Cut and
polished, the rare and beautiful tints are
developed, and the superstition that for
so long attached to these exquisite
gems has practically disappeared. The
exhibit will show how the opals are
found in the mines, how they are handl-
ed, and how they are cut and polished
and converted into rare jewels.
Gold, silver, copper and lead will form
the basis for other exhibits in the Mines
and Metallurgy Palace. Great pyramids
and obelisks, illustrating the amount of
the States annual output, will be sta
toned at points of advantage, and will
elouuently tell of Idaho's greatness
In the center of the mining exhibit
will be the huge boulder taken from the
silver mines at Haley. This weighs
more than ton, and is composed of over
60 per cent pure silver. Idaho's lead and
copper mines are among the richest in
the world. They will furnish one of the
attractive features in the mining
gulch."
Much space has been allotted to Idaho
in the Agriculture and Horticulture Pal
aces. The grains and grasses will be the
principal agricultural products shown,
and fruit exhibit will be very extensive.
Mr.. HURT said that the work of con-
structing the Idaho building would begin
September l. The State appropriation
is $4,000, but it is expected that this
will be largely increased by voluntary
contributions and private subscriptions

business men had informed him that he
could afford to donate at least $50 per
year toward good roads construction.
The communication was referred to a
special committee, made up of c. H
Saulpaugh, III. A. Patterson and DR.
Webster.
DIR: Follman threw little spice into
the good roads discussion. He said there
are state roads, county roads and other
roads? Who takes care of them
Whose business is it to look after them ?
Mankato pays more than two-thirds of
the taxes to support the county, and he
thought that the farming community
should exhibit more interest in road
building Here and there in the country
a bad place will be found in the road.
If one farmer can haul load over it
another farmer will act upon the princi-
pie that his horses are as good as his
neighbors and his load will be hauled over
the bad spot. In Mankato there are poor
roads. There are holes in them and
they have been filled with dirt, probably
because the stone from the quarries is
too soft" for use on the highways. On
the road to the park there are several
bad holes. They have been flied with
dirt, but the holes still exist. All the
street commissioners must have come
from the country. Over in Belgrade the
farmers have built good roads by put
ting gravel upon them. In Blue Earth
county the farmers have been lax in
this matter. He thought it might be
well for Mankato to contribute stone to
the farmers and let them improve the
highways.
B. C. Taylor considered it very es
sential that Mankato should have good
goads leading into the country in all di-
rections, but at the same time he felt
that under the plan proposed the people
here would be called upon to pay too
large proportion of the expense.
DR.. Andrews said that now that the
Milwaukee road is in operation good
gravel from Kasota could be brought here
and the farmers might be induced to
haul it to the highways.
President Andrews appointed II. P.
Jensen, T. W. Hart and John Fl. Stew
art as a committee to solicit funds to in
duce manufactures to locate here.
1t was suggested that the plan adopt
ed at the last meeting be modified so
that factories now located here could be
is, whenever a concern
already established made improvements
and added to the number of men employ
ed that institution should receive the
same consideration as a new factory
would.
This idea was advanced on the report
that Mayer Bros. were to enlarge their
foundry and machine shop and next
spring would add to their working force
They are now employing fifty men.
Several board members did not favor
this suggestion, maintaining that the
plan was designed to bring in new fac
tories. If factory already establish
ed here could enlarge and employ more
men it was a sure sign that it was in
condition.
After some further remarks the board
adjourned.

LOUISIANA AND THE CABIlDO.
Exhibits Her Historic Treasures.-Im-
p0rtant Industrial DisnIavs

The state of Louisiana is taking lead
ing part in the Worlds Fair The history
OF Louisiana is practically a history of
the domain from which the states and
territories have been carved. New Or
leans prior to 1903 was the seat of gov
eminent of the territory, and it was in
the Crescent City that the formal trans
fer was made.
Louisiana has appropriated $4,000 for
representation at the fair. She has been
awarded choice site for a pavilion
among the states on the main roadway.
west OF the Missouri building, and near
the United States government building.
The historic CabildO, where the formal
treaty was made, December 20, 1903, will
be faithfully reproduced as the state
building; it will not be as the building
stands today, remodeled but as it was
on the day of the transfer. 1t will be
furnished throughout with the furniture
of the time of the 18th century. In the
room where the transfer was made will
be exhibited the treaty between France
and the United States, signed by Liv-
ingston, Monroe and Marbois. The walls
will also bear portraits of Jefferson,
Salecdo, Laussat, Wilkinson and Clai-
borne, besides the signers. Charts from
the 10th century to the present time will
also be shown. In the Cabildo prison
may be seen the original stocks in which
the Spaniards punished their prisoners.
The entire building will be rich with his
torical relics, charts, documents and
paintings pertaining to the territory.
Louisiana has been awarded much

Twenty thousand dollars have been ap-
propriated to provide a comprehensive
rice exhibit. This display will be in the
agricultural palace, and the grounds sur
rounding it. Rice will be shown growing
in the fields, along with the methods of
cultivation, harvesting and marketing.
The various uses to which it is put will
form the basis for other interesting dis
plays. The sugar cane industry will be
of interest to visitors, and will receive
equally comprehensive treatment. LOUIS

A statue of Mephistopheles, fashioned
from sulphur, will stand in the agricul-
tural palace. There will be exhibits re-
vealing Louisiana's resources in petro-
leum, Ignite, marble, iron and clays.
In the palace of transportation will be
shown models of the boats of the past
and present used on the lower Missis-
sippi, of ocean steamers and pleasure
yachts.
Louisiana is rich in the possession of
mound builders and Indian relics, and has
collected an exhibit of these, which will
be of general interest.
