THIS COCONINO SUN.
CAPITOL NEARLY COMPLETED.
Comparatively Little More Work on the
Territorial Building.
Despite the IiIikIimiiccs in the way of
its completion the capitol is nearly
Mnislicd. In f.iut several (if the rooms,
nottbly the executive olllcc. arc
ready for use at once, li.nl the
$ l. 'tl, 01)0 building been formally ac
cepted by thu lio.inl of o.mimi-sioner-,
and were the territorial otllcers in a
hurry to get in their new home.
I'raetieally all of the exterior work
is completed. The ronllng was lluis lied
last week, and all that remains is the
placing on the top of the dome the zinc
statue of Justice, which will arrive this
week from Ohio.
The wood Moors are all laid, and o.i
tile lirst Moor the tiling in the rotunda
Wall down and p.utlally no in the cor
ridor''. The kalsomiuiug is all com
pleted, and tin: piloting uf the wood
uoikis ended ou the llrt lloor and
pirlly Mui-hcd on tlie -ei-ond. 'J'hc
molding in the top of the rotunda is a
dillicult piece of work and will be Mu
lshed in a few day-.
Thu plastering. Ical-omitiing and
painting throughout the building is
p.irticttl.uly good, and in fact ail the
work is noticeable for excellence and
tliu evidence of close attention to details.
The wood is cpee!ally line and was
gathered fiom live slates ami terri
tories: Texan, Oregon, Arkansas, Ari
zona and California. Thu oak is all
quarter sawed, and shows especially
well in tile balustrades to be placed
iuouikI the rotunda.
According toCoutraelor Thos. Lovell
the greatest obstacle which hu has had
ti overcome has been a .-eaieity of ma
terial and of good mechanics, especially
stone masons.
Since the beginning of tlio building,
over a year ago. prices of mateiials
have in somu itibtancesalmostdoubled.
In fact the rl-o has been so great tliut
the builders aver that they will make
nothing on their contract.
Mr. Lovell saysth.it he will easily
finish his work within five weeks, and
as all the wires are in place the 210
light- can be placed in a few hour.",
and all that will be neces-ary will lie
the laving of carpets and moving in the
furniture. Itepubl lean.
