SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 5.--With large shipments of gray standstone. mountain sage, and cactus taken from the rim of the Gran CanEon of Ari- zona already in San Francisco and ready for use, work is progressing rapidly on the miniature of the canon which will be one of the most expen- sive and attractive concessions rf the Panama-Pacific lnternstional Ex. position.
 This concession. which is being constructed by the Santa Ee railroad at cost to exceed s39O,OOO will be an exact replica of Natures master piece. While 1t will occupy only five and half acres. scientific devices will show the canyon in its proper perspective and give the visitor true conception of its great heights and distances.
 To make the resemblance between the canyon and the miniature as close as human ingenuity will permit. great quantities of rock and shrubbery are being brought to San Francisco from the canyon and will be used in the building of the concession. A large quantity of gray sandstone has been received from the canyon together with tree, mountain and desert sage, cactus and yucca.
 trainload of red sandstone from Winslow, Arizona, resembling the na- tive stone of the canyon, has arrived and considerable quantity already has been plced ever the entrance of the ueblo Village, a concession also being installed by the Santa Fe ad. joining the Grand Canyon" The vii. lage will extend over the entire front of the Santa Fe's concession. sEn. grayed in the stone opposite the main entrance to the village Is the caption, "The Life of Vanishing Race"
 The Grand Canyon concession Is taking form quickly and HOO feet of trestle have been constrected Rails will be laid soon and the visitor to this concession will be taken around the rim of the miniature canyon in cars built as train coaches.
 Walter Street. the widely known scenic artist of New York and Clan BenvenutL the celebrated Italian dec. oratiye artist, are among the painters engaged upon the superb panoramas for the concession.
