STATION At CAPITOL
FINEST ONE Ever CONSTRUCT
ED IN THIS COUNTRY.
Government to Bear Some OF. the Ex-
pense-To Cost Many Millions
General Plan of This Won
derful Structure.

Washington, D. c., is soon to hays
a new union station and one which is
looked upon by veteran railroaders as
the finest ever built in the United
States. Over s2o,00o, 600 will be used
in the instruction of the depot and in
addition to the building, improvements
will be made II the tracks and parks
which surround these avenues Of COM
merce until, it is believed. the expense
will total So, 900 00a.
Gne of the foremost benefits which
the public will derive from the new
project is the elimination of all grade
crossings, as the tracks will run either
above or below the streets and it is
declared by officials IN charge of he
work that the station will be completed
by the fall OF 1906 il no hitch occurs
to delay the work. Part of the vast
expense involved in the erection of the
depot has been borne by the national
government, as il is considered that
the depot will hcautify the city to a
great extent. Another reason that tho
government has consented to bear
some of the expense is because of the
offer some time ago of two of the rail-
roads to lend assistance to the effort
to establish Mail.
The station will face toward 8ghe
dome of the capitol, and will be less
than half mile from It. The archi-
tectural treatment will be in keeping
with it's character as the yestibule or
gateway to the capital city. With this
view. its architectural motives have
been drawn from the triemphal arches
of Rome.
The main building will be 620 feet
long and 65 to 120 feet in heighEq Ii
is being built of white granite. The
three entrance arches will each be SO
feet in height and 30 feet IN wid1h,
and far exceed in scale their Roman
prototypes. These central doorWays
will lead into vaulted yestibule and
thence into the main waiting room At
the end paviIIons will be located two
40-feot arehed carriage entrances, the
last one leading to a suite Of apart
ments for the president of the United
States and his guests. and the one at
the west end. VIII lead to a general
carriage porch, near the ticket and
baggage lobby. The central ve5tibsIle
and the end pavilions are connected
by an open-air pcrtieo and constitute
continuous covered porch along the
front of the entire building

one of the finest in the country. It

The Combination, the Sandstorrn,

Together these fiYe have shipped some
two and one-haIf million dollars worth
of ore. The lessees on the Jumbo alone
produced one and three-quarter mil
lions in seven months time.
The Kendall, In one of its first ship
ments Of fifteen tons, netted $4,000.
The Combination Company made a cash

There is abundance of wood and
water, and with a 20-stamp mill the ore
could be mined and milled at an ex-

We also have two other Chains in
Tule Canyon about four miles southeast
of the Mollie Malone group, one OF
which adjoins the Eagle group. where
a strike was recently made. They have
a shaft eighty feet deep and a ledge
