What Will be Seen at Exposition
Tie Building Which Will
House Specimens.
UTAH MUST HOLD HER PRESTIGE
Everything in the Line of Silver,
Gold, Lead, Copper and Other Min.
erals Should be Collected.

II Is time we were beginning to real
ize that there is to be a very great
exposition at ST. Louis next year"
says the Denver Post After exhorting
Colorado to make preparations TO
maintain her prestage nj the fair
words which Utah might well take
to HERSELF the Post continues:
In the last number OF the Electrical
Review we find an elaborate account OF
the mines and metallurgy building. 1t
IL stated that from an architectural
standpoint 1t is not approached by any
OF the other exhibition palaces. The
architect speaks OF 1t as type Of
secession architecture" meaning a
breaking away from conyentlonallty in
design, making the architecture OF the
building feellngly express the use for
which 1t was built, rather than a con-
struotion along conventional lines and
formulate The outside dimensions, 525
by 400 feet, confne an, area consider
ably In excess OF that provided by any
other exposition for similar exhibits.
Here 1t Is proposed to Incorporate an
exhaustive display of processes and
products. raw materials with forms of
metallic ores, clays, Goals, building
stone, etc, but the elaboration aud ex-
pioltatlon OF mining and metallurgical
methods, showing the means and
methods of producing the finished ma
terials VIII be emphasized in large de-
gree. There will be working mines,
shafts, tunnels, etc, supplied with
both electric and steam hoist. operated
so as to show the more modern meth
ods or wire and rope transmission. We
VIII nave a full sized operating mill,
especially designed to crush and con-
centrate Missouri lead and zinc ores.
This VIII be constructed with special
reference TO handling gold, silver and
lead ores, such as constitute the
more important mineral wealth OF Colo
RADIO. Utah, California and the Rocky
mountain and Pacific coast areas.
In this connection 10 illustrate the
wonderful advances that have been
made In the last half century It is pro-
posed to Introduce the old primitive
arastra and some other long obsolete
forms OF extraction. II is hoped that
the management won't forget the burro
motive power which propelled the aras-
tras, nor the typical miner with his
SLOUGH hat, corn cob pipe and oehre
stained clothes
In the main building covering more
than nine acres under one roof viii be
assembled the best and most valuable
mineral resources, together with many
mechanical appliances designed for
their utilization. including mills, rolls,
crushers and concentrators OF many
designs and compressed air and electric
drills
Another special feature of the indoor
display is the grouping of collective ex-
hlbits. Each OF the states and foreign
countries will display under its own
control and direction what Is best OF It's
minerals.
France Germany, Russia, Great Brit
ain, Japan and China and the smaller
principauities and republics, including
Mexico, have all applied for and have
been granted liberal space, and we VIII
have some great exhibits from each.
The more technical and educational
features VIII be represented by fully
equipped assay Office conducted by
students and experts. and fully
equipped technical and scientific H.
hrary, geological maps, charts, models
etc. From the account foregoing, con-
densed from the rather lengthy descrip-
ton printed In the Electrical Review.
II VIII he seen that the mines and
metallurgy department viii embrace
about everything In the line of metal
ferrous mining save smelling furnaces,
cyanide tanks, humping tabls and Cor
nish bundls, | would also like To see
compacted under one roof complete
testing plant embracing the best known
and most efficient methods of treating
all kinds OF ores containing gold and
silver, This rightly handled would be-
a center education for great numbers
OF people connected with the mining In
dustry,
