Among the exhibits in the Palace of Mines and Met allurgy at the Paris Exposition that of the United States has a prominent place and is considered one of the finest displays in the section. The success of the exhibit is due largely to the efforts of Messrs. F. J. V. Skiff who has general charge of the United States section W. S. Ward assistant director and V. C. Heikes expert and to the co-operation of Mr. Adolf Elution in charge of the California Mining Depart ment. The facade as seen in the illustration is of massive and elegant construction the materials being bronze iron work and marble ; the latter is used for the columns and panels showing different varieties. The central and adjacent portion and a third space in the rear are occupied by an extensive collection of the different minerals of the United States. At one end is the display of the Standard Oil Company and at the other the metallurgical exhibits with a handsome pa vilion in the center. In the central space the display of ores and minerals is very complete. The illustra tions show the arrangement of the cases.
