The Mining Exchange .building will be located on the north side of Exchange Ex-change place, opposite the entrance to Cactus street. It will be the best building build-ing that can be designed and constructed con-structed for the purpose. Mr. New-house New-house is especially interested in mak-ingthia mak-ingthia building a model of its kind. Within ten days excavating for the ( Newhouse and Boston buildings will be started. ' The former goes on the southeast corner of Exchange place and Main street It will be 80 bv 150 feet and eleven stories high. This is to be a banking and office building, and is to be constructed entirely of stone, probably prob-ably the native stone of Utah. The banking-room on the ground floor, when completed, will be one of the most magnificent affairs of its kind ever constructed. A great dome running np into the building, two stories in height, will be done in marble and bronze. The circular entrance of the building at Exchange place and Main street will be adorned with splendid marble pillars pil-lars six feet in diameter at their base and thirty feet high.

The 80 by 150-foot eleven stor- stone building to be erected at. the northeast corner of Exchange place and Main street will be an exact duplicate in construction and finishing of the New-house New-house building, and will be named the Boston block. The only difference in the two structures will be the elimination elimina-tion of the banking-room on the round floor. This floor will probably e devoted to store purposes. The buildings to be erected at the southwest and northwest corners of Exchange Ex-change place and State street will be duplicates in size, construction and general appearance to the Newhouse and Boston Buildings at Exchange place and Main street. The two six-story six-story buildings to be built on the north side of Exchange place, each 140 feet long and 80 feet deep, will be located on either side of the Mining Exchange building.
