THE COST OF BILTMORE.
Mr. Vanderbilt Has Spent More Than
$2,000,000.
At Blitmore, in North Carolina,
George W. Vanderbilt has spent over
$2,000,000 in creating the greatest os
tate in America. He has torn down
a mountain, bullt a great castle, and
owns seventeen square miles of moun
tain country. These miles, however,
are all under the most careful oulti-
vation, either as farming, grazing or
timber lands.
The ovuer ( } Biltmore has the fac-
ulty of ploking the right men for the
right work. He induced a "book far
