Isolation Is Important.

Tt is impossible to overestimate the
importance Of giving to a monument of
the size and significance Of the Lincoln
memorial complete and undisputed domi-
nation over a large area. together with
q certain dignifled isolation from COM
peting structures. or even from minor
features unrelated to 1t. Upon no other
possible site IN the city of Washington
can this end be secured so completely as
upon the Potomac Park site.
"A memorial upon this location would
have the further advantage that II need
not be SO high as to bring it into COM
petition with the Washington Monument
IN order to make il visible from great
distances, without danger of obstruction
by buildings erected on private property.
a monumental structure standing in a
broad plain surrounded by an amphi-
theater OF hills is as widely seen and
il impressive as one upon a hilltop.
From the hills of the District and of Vir-
ginta the constantly recurring views of a
great Lincoln memorial, seen in associa-
ton with the Washington Monment and
the dome of the Capitol, would be i'm
preseive in the highest degree
while this site is sufficiently isolated
to give il dignity. ii is readily accessible,
being situated in a park which even In
it's partially developed state has become
q place OF great popular resort, and
which is destined to be the chief center
of outdoor reunion In Washington for
people on foot as we'll AZ those in ve-
hicles.

Offers Peculiar Advantages.


''The comparative isolation Of the Poto-
mac Park site in the midst of large
area OF undeveloped vacant land consti-
tutes a peculiar advantage. For long
distance in every direction the surround
ings are absolutely free for such treat
ment as would best enhance the effect of
the memorial. The fact that there are now
no features of interest or Importance.
that everything is yet TO be done. means
that no embarrassing obstacles would in
terfere with the development of a setting
adequate In e-.tent and perfect in design,
without compromise and without discord.
Congress has here created great
park area. raised we'll above the highest
river floods and this area now awaits
development. BY the ordinary operations
Of park Improvement it is a simple mat
ter to raise in this area an eminence suit
ed to the site of a great memorial, and
to adoTn and surround it by such land
scape features as shall give II effective
and beautiful support
In judging the site of a memorial to
endure throughout the ages we must re-
gard not what the location was nor what
IL Is today. but what it can be made for
all time to come The short period re-
quired for grading and the growth of
trees would be as nothing compared with
the possibility which this site presents
of treating freely every element of the
surroundings in the best manner that the
skill Of man can devise.

That Poomac Park Is the most appro-

designer be considered.

est amount yet appropriated by this
government for a similar purpose. is au-
thortZed by the act of Congress entitled
AN act TO provide a commission to Sc
cure plans and designs for a monument
or memorial to the memory Of Abraham
Lincoln" approved February Q. 1911.
For Grandeur and Beauty.
The fine arts commission In preparing its
report worked on the theory that the
popular idea Of a memorial to Lincoln
will be satisfied only with a design which
combines grandeur and beauty. AS it was
assumed this memorial must be a large
one. the commission held there are few
sites on which 1t can be placed success
fully. as it is important that a large
monument shall stand where its environ
ment can be specially designed to har-
monize with 1t and where the design need
not be controlled by or even Influenced by
existing surroundings.
The block plans, sketches and perspec-
tives of possible treatments worked out
10 show what might be done in each sec
tion Of the territory in the neighborhood
Of the Capitol and at other points fin the
District proposed as sites for the me-
mortal were available to the fine arts
commission, which is confident it can
convince the members of the memorial
commission Of the impracticability of any
site under the shadow of the dome OF
she Capitol or of the inadvisability of any
of the other sites considering that the
one in Potomac Park is available.

INCREASE HOLDINGS.
Hidden Treasure People Buy Claim
From Austin jackson.

The directors of the Ely Hidden
Treasure company held meeting
in Carson City last Wednesday to
arrange for the purchase of several
claims adjoining their ground. For
some months the company has been
negotiating for the purchase of the
December, Hattie and Viking claims
and at their recent meeting closed a
deal with Austin Jackson. formerly
editor of Copper Ore. for the pur-
chase of the December claim. The
directors who attended the meeting
were: George T. Mills. Eugene How
ell and James A. Raycraft of Carson
City and w. j. Harris of Reno. The
Hidden Treasure property is located
between the Nevada Consolidated
and the Cumberland-Ely and has
made excellent show1ngs in the
amount of development thus far pros
ecuted but has not been doing much
development of late on account of
litigation on the part of owners of
adjoining territory, but when this is
disposed of and title to desired claims
perfected il is expected to develop
one of the big mines of the district.
