From Other States-Indian
and Alaskan Exhibits
Are Located.

A palace OF steel IN which the combined
copper display of Montana. Michigan and
Arizona will be made in manner un-
paralleled Mt expositions. will be erected by
the Worlds Fair corporation at the en-
trance of the "Gulch.''
The structure will be located on a space at
the southern end of the avenue between
the United States building and the Mines
and Metallurgy Palace. 1t will extend 800
feet by 100 feet. and will be constructed
entirely of steel.
In this building, which becomes part of
the Mines Department Chief Holmes eX-
poets to have assembled the greatest eH-
hibit OF copper ores and crude copper matte
that the world has ever gaZed on at any

The Anaconda and other bonanzas of
Butte, Mont; the Calumet and Hecla, the
copper wonders of Michigan for half a
century, and the fabulous United Verde at
Jerome Ariz., the last property owned by
Copper King Clark. will contribute to the

A feature of the structure is that in place
of q closed exhibit building it is open on
the sides serving the purpose of an out
door pavilion. The copper display, in other
words, will be classed with the outside min
ing attractions OF the 'Guicn.
That the space for this bazaar of copper
might be secured for the uses to which 1t
will be put. the site of the Kentucky State
building. which had been located there by
President Francis, was transferred across
the avenue to a slope of the hill Immediate
ly to the rear Of the Mines Palace.
TEXAS SITE CHANGED.
Texas has broken away from the sister
~ DI,,n of

adjoining Kentucky. on the roadway which
leads from the plaza in front of the United
States building 10 the Cascade Gardens by
way of the plateau.
The Director of Works has finally ap-
proved the plans for the fve-pointed star
structure which aroused discussion through
out the country.
The proximity of these two States to the
Copper Palace. the United States Fisheries
building and the "Gulch'' makes the loca-
lions ideal. as the line of travel from the
Government plaza and thence to the
..Culch" which. in its myriad attractions,
has become a foil for the Pike"
The plan to scatter the features of the
, Exposition far and wide. so that no one
section of the big show shall detract from
another. is further shown in the intention
of the management to make the region or
the Philippine reservation enticing to Wis
itorS.
The great Indian outdoor exhibit, to be
made Jointly by the Government and the
Exposition, has been placed just south of
and adjoining the Philippines exhibit. west
of the Agriculture Palace. The attractions
are contiguous to the olympic games ana
the airship course.
With the arrival of Governor Brady of
Alaska, who is expected at the Admins
tration building to-day. the management
expects to locate the outdoor Alaskan ex-
hibit Immediately south of the Indian ex-
hibit This will bring together the largest
ap. a
logical and chronological attractions of the
Exposition.
