just a trifle in advance of the many mining districts in the country. The central figure of the exhibit will be a 1000-pound gold brick from the Pacific Extension mine, N. Bell, pro- prietor. The mould will soon be ordered, and as the output of gold under adverse circum- stances now ranges from 25 to 30 pounds per week, the time required to produce a half ton will be considerably less than a year, and under favorable circumstances a ton brick could be as easily furnished for exhibition.
