CHICAGO EXPOSITION.
In the Oregon display is an exhibit
that attracts much attention. It in
cludes a working model of a gold placer
mining outfit. A large amount of gold
bearing dirt is at hand for demonstrat
ing the whole process of panning out the
gold, and at stated intervals the plant is
put into operation. This exhibit is not
surrounded with glas?, and it is an amus
ing sight to Bee jeopIe hunting ox'er the
sand and dirt for particles or appear
ances of gold.
Near the north end of the forestry
building are shown cross sections of trees,
from Oregon. There is a yellow fir log
six feet in diameter. The yellow fir
grows all over the Northwest Coast
Range Mountains. It is of superior ex
cellence for ship-building and spars. It
ranges from two to ten feet in diameter.
A cross section of a trunk of tide-land
spruce is shown. It is nine feet nine
inches in diameter. The butt was six
teen feet in diameter, the tree being 306
feet high and 300 years old. Great slabs
of noble fir, spruce, lox-ely fir and yellow
fir are shown.
Baron de Maraia. Commissioner from
Brazil, andS. Suwa, Secretary of the Jap
anese Commission, have through O. S.
Whitmore. editor of Hardwood, offered
forestry exhibits at the World's Fair to
to the city of Chicago for a permanent
museum. Said Mr. Whitmore the other
night: " Both the collections are com
plete and largo, the former being one of
the largest in the forestry building. Mr.
Suwa's is large and exceptionally well
arranged and perlently classified. Dr.
Niederlein, Commissioner from the Ar
gentine Republic, and Dr. Hassler, Com
missioner from Paraguay, both have
splendid collections, which they have
given me to understand thev would pre
sent to the city if they could be assured
they would be appreciated and cared for
as they deserve. No such collectioa of
forest products has ever before been
shown as is now in this exhibit, either
from domestic or foreign sources. I have
discussed the matter with others among
foreign exhibiters, and am satisfied the
bulk of the foreign exhibits can be se
cured by the city. American exhibiters
also are prepared to make handsome do
nations. I think the Jessop collection
can be secured and some other private
collections. Dr. Charles Millspanirh, the
bouiiimi woo lias charge of the West Vir
ginia collection, intimates that a large
part of that exhibit can be secured. It
is one of the finest shown, is complete
ami inorouirniy classined. Kentucky,
Oregon, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michi
gan, Washington, Missouri and others
have complete, well-arranged and well
classilied exhibits which they would
gladly donate in whole or in part."
