marble and Limestone Quarry in CaIaYba
County.

Il may mol be verv generally known,
that there is an extensive Marble Quarry
The County of Caiawba. II is situated
on the caiawba river, near Shufnrd's
Ferry. A gentleman in that neighbor-
hood writes us on the subject Of this
Limestone and Marble Quarry. rs follows:
Salisbury H0tchmaa.
"The Limestone seems to be a continue
alton Of The same range Of The Kings
Mountain and The Hullender Quarry, nine
miles below lincolnion, which appears
again some seven miles N. E. of Lincoln.
ton, then in The same range Of bills at the
little mountain in This county, where it is
raised BY The iron masters for their fur
naces. II again appears at the Shuford
Quarry a, and among which is The Mar
BILE, in very large massive beds. In fact
the extent is not yet asceriaine,l; but from
all appearances il is inexhauslibe. As far
as il has been penetrated il presents every
shade OF color, from snowy white TO deep
blue. variegaled with white. Some pre-
senlng rather striped, and others an
irregular clouded appearance. and some
of a sky blue color,-all without assure
or seam TO mar its smoolhness and beauty.
II is free from grit. quartz, or any hard
substance: so that il can be easily cut or
sawn. Ii polishes very smooth, and would
no doubt be as good statuary marble as
any in the world. That used for lime
would make fine furniture, and more dura-
BILE than the pure white.
I is believed that Lime, and perhaps
Marble. nigh. be found any where on this
range. which crosses the Calawba, aud
runs North East through the counties Of
lredell and Davie into Stokes, where lime
is obtained-probably from The same
vein"

Quarry in this vicinity would, in many
respects, be fit emblem and representa-.

quiry. the engraving cannot be executed
with sufficient taste and skill on stone.
The Governor will be thankful TO re.
cci,e from one of orr Western Quarries

be righ, on its delivery in Raleigh.
