Shovel men engaged during" - the fcrst two weeks in digging a test hole tor the proposed new state capitol received plenty of free advice from the hun dreds of person! who have stopped to watch the progress of their work. The hole now is approximately 40 feet deep and 15 feet m diameter. During the last 20 feet the workmen have blasted their way through hard sand stone. The blasting caused the fast crum bling old state capitol to shake and tremble, State house workers, however, soon became used to the rumbling noise caused by the blast ing and go on about their work as if nothing usual was taking place.

It was first planned that Ihe building's cost should not ex ceed $40,000. The present capitol was built like a proverbial farmer's house an ad dition to the original every time there was a good crop. The legis lature of 1879 appropriated $75,000 for the erection of a west wing which was to be the begining of a new capitol.
