Redding stand ready to guarantee $1000 asked for maintenance and site will doubtless be selected within the present week The site preferred is the vacant land adjoining the Hotel Lorenz on west in

OFFERS A SUGGESTION OF SOME MERIT Would Establish and Maintain In a Prominent Place Convenient to Channels of Trade a Permanent Exhibit of Mineral Pro ducts 4 It has been suggested that a permanent exhibit of Shasta county minerals Bhould be maintained either in the new depot presuming the company contemplates any such indulgence the rotunda of the Hotel Lorenz or in some other location where the traveling public would be most likely to observe it There is no doubt of the wisdom of such an enterprise although it is at present rather premature Should the Southern Pacific railway company decide to replace the present depot with new one the project would no doubt receive the cordial support of the officixls and suitable provisions might be made in the ileus for the new structure A deficient exhibit would be worse than none at all as the observer is only too apt to base his judgment upon what he sees This matter should be taken' up by the mining men of Shasta county and an it maintained that would fitly represent the mining wealth of Shasta county Although somewhat pre-aiatme the suggestion is worthy of consideration against the time when it can be carried but IP BY RAIL
