The most prominent feature of the exhibit, however, is a solid 

 silver, life-size statue of the celebrated actress, Ada Rehan, stand- 

 ing on a globe which in turn rests on a base of solid gold. 

 The whole work represents several hundred thousand dollars 

 worth of precious metals, all the products of Montana mines. 



Wyoming makes a neat and effective exhibit. It consists 

 largely of coal in columns and blocks, jars of petroleum, blocks 

 of sulphate of soda and sulphate of magnesia, "lode" tin ore 

 and stream tin ore from the northeastern part of the state, 

 adjoining the Dakota tin region, iron ore, copper ore, auriferous 

 quartz, lead carbonate, asbestos, agates, clay, sulphur, building 

 stones, etc. 



Colorado makes a fairly good display of its silver -lead ores, 

 copper ores, gold ores, coal and manufactured lead and copper. 

 Some of the building stones and iron ores of the state are shown, 

 but these materials are not fully represented. An instructive 

 feature of the exhibit is a series of cases of gold nuggets, dust 

 gold and sheet gold from Breckenridge, Colorado. Many of the 

 important mining camps in the state are represented, especially 

 Aspen, Leadville, Creede, Cripple Creek, etc. The exhibit is 

 fairly good, but a state of such immense mining wealth as Colo- 

 rado could have made a much better one. 



The Utah exhibit contains a large amount of valuable 

 material, but it is too much crowded and badly arranged. The 

 desire for a display of brilliantly contrasted colors has in some 

 cases entirely upset the systematic arrangement of the exhibit, 

 and has given part of it the appearance of the toy boxes with 

 pieces of minerals glued on. the outside that are sold to confid- 

 ing tourists in our western states as works of art and value. 

 The exhibit represents the varied mining industries of the terri- 

 tory, among the most important substances being coal, gilsonite, 

 albertite, elaterite, asphalt, oil shales, sulphur, salt, iron ores, 

 copper ores, silver and gold ores, building stones, etc. The exhibit 

 of articles "japanned" by the gilsonite varnish are of interest. 

 Some large specimens of silver- lead ores and ores containing 

 chloride of silver are characteristic of the mines producing them.
