Wyoming's Participation At The Fair

Wyoming had no State building, its appropriation of $25,000 was devoted entirely to exhibits in the Palaces of Mines and Metallurgy and Agriculture. In the Palace of Mines and Metallurgy, attention was immediately attracted to the State's exhibit of oils. Lumps of bituminous coal, weighing ten tons; of soda, weighing 5,000 pounds from the natural soda lakes of Albany county, were to be seen. There were specimens of iron running 75 percent pure and fine copper ore was displayed in abundance. There was also an attractive collection of beautiful stones. Wyoming's grains, grasses and fine woods and vegetables and fruits, the latter the product of irrigated farming, constituted the display in the Palace of Agriculture.
