gold in every form is on display in
nearly every building at the Alaska
Yukon-Paciic exposition, the piece
of gold bearing rock from Goldfield,
Nevada, which runs $4,000 to the

the exhibit of the United States geo
logical survey department in the
main government building.
Included in this exhibit are cases
containing ores and fuels from every
region in the United States. The
valuable mineral rock has been pol
ished, thus bringing out clearly the
veins of the ore. All rock is labeled
and neal is a map of many colors,
the latter illustrating the ores in the
cases and giving data as to whether
easy or hard of access and whether
the deposits have been worked to any
extent.
The same department has in the
Mines Building a demonstration
room of the mine rescue apparatus
such as is 10Y used in the coal
mines of Pennsylvania and Virginia.
1t is a German invention, but lie
government experts expect soon to
have ome .ning better of American
make.
The apparatus consists of a head
piece resembling somewhat that of
deep sea diving apparatus; a number
of tanks, weighing 32 pounds for
carrying oxygen on the back, and an
engine for filling the oxygen tanks.
A pneumatic tube arrangement will
permit close fitting of the head piece,
so that no air may enter except from
the tubes leading from the oxygen
tanks, and only as fast as the wearer
happens to require the air.
A room heavy with sulphur fumes
may be entered by anyone desiring
to test this appliance. The oxygen
tanks carry enough air to last the or
binary person two hours.
Within the Mines Building may
also be seen smelters in operation
and large displays of pres and fuels
from different sections of the north
west. There are a number of minia-
ture mines showing working models
of mining machinery. A two ton
gold bearing rock and a ten ton piece
of coal, both from the state of Wash
ington, are among the curiosities to
be seen.
Perhaps among the most interest
ing buildings from an exterior stand
point on the grounds are the Utah,
Arctic Brotherhood and Forestry
structures. The Utah building is
built to resemble a house of the Pue-
bio Indians, every derail of the ex-
terror being carried out. n For
estry and Arctic brotherhood build
ings are both of logs and built for
permanent structures.
