At the back of the exhibit the name of South Dakota appeared
in leaf-work letters, as well as statistics of the annual production of
butter, milk, and cream, all worked out in butter also.

About the 1st of June the educational exhibit was put in place. The
walls were covered with art work, maps, and industrial work. The
cabinets were filled with mounted specimens of written lessons, drawing,
music, maps, and industrial work. The bases of the cabinets contained
the remainder of the written work, neatly bound in volumes and labeled;
specimens of basketry and woodwork, and a collection of zoological and
botanical specimens. A number of the schools were represented by
photographs alone, others by written work, photographs, and industrial
work, and a few by written work alone. In subject-matter and original
thought, South Dakota's work compared favorably with that of other
schools of like age and conditions, especially in simplicity and
originality.

The arrangement of the mineral exhibit in the Mines and Metallurgy
Building was along practical commercial lines rather than on specimen,
spectacular, or on purely scientific lines, though rich specimens and
beautiful pictures were displayed, and the State School of Mines had a
most excellent scientific collection of ores, rocks, and fossils that
was awarded a gold medal.

The location obtained for the exhibit was most favorable, and by many
was considered one of the choicest in the building, having three full
fronts on main aisles, two 44 feet and one 52 feet long, and was
surrounded by the most attractive State exhibits in the building.

The installation was with stone walls 2 feet high, built of rough ashlar
and surmounted by a dressed coping. On the two 44-foot sides this was of
the celebrated Sioux Falls red jasper. The 52-foot wall was of Hot
Springs sandstone.

On the face of each lintel the name of the State had been cut and
gilded. In the center of the exhibit on tables were two relief maps of
the Black Hills, one of these showing the whole geological uplift 120
miles long north and south and 100 miles east and west, the other
showing the mineralized portion of the hills as now known, 55 miles
northwest and southeast and 25 miles wide. The larger was about 12 feet
long and 6 feet wide.

Across the exhibit from east to west and above the heads were displayed
a series of panoramic views and pictures, transparencies on glass, being
reproductions in color of the fin
