Show TAH AT TH EXPO lTIO t Her Interesting Exhibits in the Mining Building A SHOWING BE PROUD OF The Mineral Specimens Handsomely Arranged and Very Attractive Notable Features of the Display ot Ores and Economic minerals Dinh Standing Stand-ing to the Front in Many Ways Uri ham Youngs Statue Correspondence of THE HERALD CHICAGO June 1 1893Tho principal event on the fair grounds during Decoration Decora-tion day was the unveiling of the statue of Ada Eeban in Montanas booth at the mining building The hour set for the unveiling was 3 oclock and before that time a great throng had poured through the doors tilling the great building itself to overflowing over-flowing and crowding the space in front of the Montana booth and the surrounding surround-ing booths almost to suffocation Utahs space which adjoIns Montanas was filled up almost entirely with home people peo-ple the Utah contingent turning out in almost whole force to do honor to the occasion oc-casion It was nearer 4 than 3 when the gong which was the signal for the unveiling un-veiling struck and as the iron hammer clinked the red curtains depending from the circular canopy were drawn aside and the great shining statue moulded in the image of Americas dramatic queen stood revealed to view Though all were interested inter-ested the reception of the event s some what quieter than was expected Some I cheering was done by the Montana people around the booth the crowd on the outside out-side applauded and that being over the ceremonies were at an end When the unveiling was accomplished the great crowd began to move those in the rear pressing forward for a view of i the statue the first favored ones spreading I spread-ing out into the avenues of the great building Judging from the number present it must have taken hours for all the immense im-mense throng to view the statue so that Montana claimed the greater share of attention at-tention throughout the afternoon i ARCHITECTURAL PROGRESS Wandering through the building we found great changes had been made within with-in the week with regard to a great number num-ber of the booths Many have been finished that seemed hardly commenced ten days ago and a number which were awaiting the progress of the outside structure to commence the installation of exhibits have now their entire spaces billed and arranged in splendid display Canada has her booth almost completed and makes a splendid showing of native ores Ontario especially figuring prominently promi-nently in an exceptional display Among other exhibits large specimen of nickel ore from the Evans mine is shown taken from the three hundredfoot level the mass weighing 12000 pounds and contains con-tains 4 per cent < < nickel special dis play is mad e of isinelass the bluibn colored col-ored specimens making a showy decoration decora-tion for the walls and partitions of the booth Nova Scotia makes a splendid showing and has a fine advertisement of her gold fields in the shape of a gilded pyramid whose dimensions represent the amount of gold produced to 1893 viz 561 000 ounces from 762036 tons of quartz New South Wales has one of the most remarkable displays in the entire building build-ing It comprises besides a wonderful array of ore exhibits a collection of precious pre-cious stones which are to be fqund within her borders diamonds emeralds opals etc and which with many other exceptionally excep-tionally rare specimeds of native wealth help to make up one of if not most interesting inter-esting of the displays in the entire building build-ing Nor is her preeminence in the matter mat-ter of exhibits confined to those of mining min-ing in every building where a general exposition is made New South Wales stands out distinctly almost every resource re-source and line of industry being represented repre-sented by her wares The home building only of all that is identified with her name upon the fair grounds is the only thing that lacks in the general remarkable remark-able prominence the building hardly fulfilling ful-filling the promise held forth by the result re-sult of her efforts in other directions In other buildings however the liberal arts agriculture horticultural fisheries forestries womans building in fact every department of exhibits contained in the exposition her display is preeminent enough to attract marked attention and if the result of this splendid advertisement advertise-ment does not redound to her material welfare it will not be because of any lack of evidence to justify it SPECIAL EXRIDITS To return to the Mining building it may safcjy be said that in the way of special exhibits some of the state booths make as notable a showing as many of the larger countries Arizona shows a large pyramid composed oi a block of copper ore from the Copper Queen mines weighing 5693 pounds and running 35 per cent coppera superb specimen Ohio advertises her marbles and building build-ing stones in a booth made in the model of the state capitol tbe building being constructed entirely of stone with marble steps in front and marble columns supporting sup-porting the porch and ornamenting the various features of the design of the fasade California also has a marble fronted booth but is not so striking in effect as tho Ohio building The Utah booth is distinguished by four granite columns occupying the front space these being with the exception ot the two states previously mentioned the only booths in the building having actual stone columnsthe stone and marble effects ef-fects ahown in mauy of the others being produced simply with graning The Utah booth in iactis one of the handsom ret in the building the tastefully designed de-signed and decorated siructure being made strikingly attractive by the number nature and arrangement of the exhibits contained within and which combine to make it one of the most striking of any of tho state booths in the building UTAH IN THE MINING BUILDING The management and arrangement of the space and exhibits have been in the hands of Mr Don Maguire and much credit Is due the clean and artistic design and arrangement of each Utahs showing show-Ing in the mining building altogether is one which the people of the territory may well be proud of the superb display of her matchless resources being such as to already attract universal attention Every district in tho territory is represented repre-sented each with superb specimens of ore from the principle mines and the whole makes a proud and wonderful showing A principle exhibit of ore in which Utah may well taKe prIde is that or the sandstone sand-stone ores from Silver Reef running from two to twelve and fourteen ounces of silver per ton Utah has the only sandstone sand-stone ore in the world and it is one of the many mineral wonders in which she may claim solo possession A specimen of petrified ore running 400 ounces in silver is another unique exhibit from this locality local-ity There is a good showing of Deep Creek ores principally from the Utah mine one specimen of chloride of silver shown carrying about 30in gold Tin tic has an exceptional array of exhibits comprising specimens from the Bullion Beck Centennial Eureka Mammoth etc andBingham has two cases showing specimens from tho Old Brooklyn and Mugnet group Old Telephone Hiatia wakee TheUast Dalton and Yosemite and 2 and others and besides these ores are shown also a large collection of the by products of tho lead mill below Bingham Park Citys constoll aUon of mine ore is royally advertised in exhibits from the Ontario Daly Glen coe Crescent Mayflower Silver King California and Lion and Big and Little Cottonwood make a creditable showing I 1 < > tfi < < i J J k 10 R = < also from the Emma Flagstaff and other mines of these localities OTHER UTAH EXHIBITS Frisco has an especially good display of ores from the French syndicate a educe tion gathered by Professor Luce and also from the Horn Silver making a fine showing of the ores produced in this district The quicksilver mines of Marysvale besides the Tate Bully Boy and Dolphin are well represented the specimens occupying oc-cupying a conspicuous place in the display dis-play and a fine showing is made or Dry Canyon ores the rich colors lending much to the attractiveness of the exhibit The iron mines of Utah have an excep tionally fine showingthe specimens being be-ing drawn principally from the mines of Willard Cedar City Hardocrabble Cottonwood Cot-tonwood and Ogden canyons The coal mines of Pleasant Valley Castle Gate Coalville and the San Juan region are represented in pyramidal blocks on the south side of the pavilion and make a wonderfully striking display The economic minerals such as salt soda potash sulphur manesia etc have a better showing than in any other pavilion on the grounds The specimens are well arranged in showy designs the salt exhibit especially making a creditable credita-ble feature of the display Besides there are twentythree jars containing the chemical products of the Great Salt lake namely salt coke natural sulphates glauber salts from sulphates Ted liquor tank liquor caustic soda refined salt saltwater etc and a display of Hot Springs water that will do much to advertise ad-vertise the properties and virtues of ores mineral springs Besides the larger specimens of ours which are placed conspicuouslysome in pyramids and blocks on pedestals throughout the booththere is also a magnificent mag-nificent cabinet of omaller specimens comprising com-prising every variety mineral found in Utah and which with its medley of brilliant bril-liant hues and colors makes a wonderfully wonder-fully striking and artistic background for the other handsome features the booth I The cabinet belongs to Mr Richard Mackintosh and represents the rare gatherings of twenty years Mr Mackintosh I Mack-intosh who has but recently arrived in Chicago is in high glee over the superb I t showing made by Utah in the mining department de-partment and prophesies < < that the effect will bring more money into the territory in a year than has been expended upon our entire exhibit in the exposition There is certainly reason for this sanguine san-guine hope for no state nor territory in the Union can boast of a more remarkable remark-able showing Utah is in fact standing to the front in more ways than one at present her display dis-play in every department making headway head-way and showing every day in better light as new progress is made in the installation in-stallation and arrangement of her exhibits ex-hibits BRIGHAM YOUNGS STATUE At the Utah building affairs are taking excellent shape and vhen the final touch is pat to the preparations and improvements improve-ments now in progress there will be a creditable and interesting showing made within the walls and precincts of the home building It is just outside the portals at present that the chief interest of Worlds fair visitors centers Dallins splendid bronze statue of Brigham Young which has recently been placed in the grounds outside the house being a feature beside which all other things connected with the Utah building can so far take no place The statue in reality is the chief feature and credit of the spot and it may in fact be said of the entire locality since no other of the state buildings build-ings within view have any exterior or interior in-terior feature that is calculated to attract so marked interest and attraction The statue is placed to the right of the building build-ing on the west side of the grounds and standing at the extreme edge of the lawn faces the broad avenue which leads from I the fair gatesa full view of the figure i greeting the eyes of every being who i passes the spot The shade trees which are a part of the decoration of grounds make both a canopy and background for I the statue and the picturesque setting I helps to give effect to the imposing view The statue is too well known to home I readers to need description as all are acquainted r ac-quainted with the splendid achievement resulting front Dallins excellent conception I concep-tion and handiwork The special traits of the strong character and leader are as I clearly designated in the bronze as if I written with pen or spoken with tongue and the figure makes one of the most interesting I in-teresting objects in the grounds THE UTAH BUILDING Among the many improvements which S have recently been accomplished outside the home building is tho change in the t color of the outside paint and caiclmin I 1 ing These were at first of dark colors and failed to give the building the attractive attrac-tive appearance to be desired consequently consequent-ly these sombre hues have been replaced ay white and gold both in walls and woodwork and the result has been to entirely en-tirely transform the hitherto ouiet looking I look-ing structure The eagle cato is also resplendent re-splendent in the new colors and the effect I has been to make both the building and its surroundings almost thrice as attractive attrac-tive and striking as before Inside the house the improvements BO far consist in the addition of new urni ture to that already provided the tasteful taste-ful use of curtains and other draperies in the decoration of the building and the platting of many new exhibits on viewall of which aid materially in enhancing the interest and attractiveness of the building build-ing I ngOf the exhibits lately unpacked an ob jet which creates more attention than anything else is the Indian mummy found in Butlers Wash San Juan I I county the petrified relic of a race that has been long extinct from tho face of the earth The mummy was found in a tomb of the cliff dwellers and is said to be I 1500 years old The body is well preserved pre-served considering the number of years that are supposed to have elapsed since the burial or consignment to the tomb and has the usual barklike or leathery appearance common to petrified objects In the show case with the mummy are displayed the various articles found in the I tomb with the bodyclothes war clubs 1 a skein of linen thread a jar of corn found in a decayed basket at the dead mans I headand many other articles marked with a workmanship showing the high I degree of civilization attained by the defunct de-funct race There are also a number of 1 other interesting Indian specimens arranged ar-ranged in cases around the room such as baskets blankets etc though none possess the attraction of the petrified form outstretched in the long case I A number of new specimens of embroidery I em-broidery drum work etc have been I added to the cases and others will be unpacked un-packed and placed within a few days One of the most interesting and attractive attrac-tive exhibits contained in Utahs domains at the fair grounds are tho photographic views of Utah scenery prepared under the skilled experience and taste of Jnmes H Crockwell The pictures comprise views of all the beautiful and noted scenes throughout Utah and being arranged inconspicuous in-conspicuous sight in the Utah and other buildings will prove invaluable in advertising adver-tising the scenic attractions of the territory terri-tory Among the collection are a number that are exceptionally fine the view both of the tempfe and the Eagle gate being the best that have as yet been made and Utah people as well as strangers may be excused for the admiration and covetousness covetous-ness which the sight of the artistic wore inspires Mr Crockwell is tho state photographer for Utah at the fair grounds and besides the pictures of home scenery will furnish i views both of the Utah building and the various booths set aside in other places for Utah exhibits and the home people can carry away no more appropriate nor interesting souyenir ot the exposition than these photographic representations of the showing made by Utah at the great fairMr Mr CrqekwelK besides attending to these official duties finds time also to attend to the interest and convenience of tho Salt Lake people who visit Chicago in the matter of securing desirable lodgings for reasonable tertnshis long stay in the city making him acquainted with different differ-ent localities and people who intend to visit Chicago cannot do better than profit by the aid his knowledge and experience I can give especially as many of the Utah people who have engaged rooms here before be-fore coming without any actual knowledge know-ledge of the condition or surroundings of the places arranged for have in some cases forfeited the money advanced rather than to remain and endure the discomforts discom-forts for tho allotted time It should be one of the chief considerations of people expecting to visit the fair to have a knowledge of where they will first arrive or stay as the conviction will eventually save great amount of trouble and expense ex-pense There are many places outside the hotels ho-tels where one may obtain excellent room and board for reasonable terms and people peo-ple desiring to avail themselves of such opportunities should take pains to find out beforehand the locality and address There are a number of excellent houses on Michigan avenue where one may be suitably accommodated with both room and board and in point of respectability comfort and convenience to the principal places of interest in the city no better situation could be desired I There are good restaurants in the locality local-ity the best kept and patronized of which has the double advantage of being run under the management somo of our home people There seems to be no diminuation in the number of visitors from Salt Lake each throng that goes being supplied by new comers and the summer promises to see a steady continuation of the tide of travel from the home place As each week makes the fair more interesting in-teresting by reason of the growing completeness com-pleteness or its great exhibit there is every reason the number should increase and if it does it would seem that we shall keep with us through the season of the exposition a very fair representation of the population of Salt Lake FRANCES |
