Denver Times.
Mr.. Tweedy, who was sent east by the
new company owning the new marble
uuarries discovered in the Arkansas val
ley, for the purpose of having the marble
compared with the Vermont product, has
returned, and brings n remarkably favor.
able report. The heaviest marble dealers
Of Vermont united in the opinion that the
specimens were fully equal to the best
statuary marble of Vermont, and upon
hearing how the mine wa located, how it
was opened, and the position of the strata,
said that the Colorado deposit was as good
rs anything in Vermont. The test
made of the marble by the CAPT
toll commissioners shows that of
all the samples submitted
it stood second for building purposes, the
hard granite from the quarries owned by
Hon. William A.. Hamill standing first.
In texture, ~tinencss and chemical proper
ties the marble has been shown to be one
of the best building stones i'll the state.
In the test under pressure, 1t stood a
crushing of 10, 70S pounds to the square
inh-more than fifty times what is
necessary for the heaviest building in the
city that is likely to be erected The
owners of the deposit are jubilant over
the prospects, and consider that they

The Crops In the Northwest.
ST. PAUL. MINI. Aug. 9

ST.. PAUL, MINI, Aug. 20.
Harvest began all along the Northern
Pacific to-day. In the entire valley the
week has been characterized chiefly by the
increase of quality of the wheat fields,
which were expected not to go over No. l.
Under the favorable condition of the past
week the fields are now confidently eS-
pected to give up bounteous yield of No.
hard George Barnes, President of the
Northern Pacific Elevator Company, speaks
very highly of the crop being harvested.
He says that in his long and varied ex-
perience in wheat matters he has never
seen such wonderful outcome. Six weeks
ago there was apparently a complete
failure. The stalk is rather short, but the
heads are long and the grain piSmp and
large. Indeed, so large and heavy are the
grains that some fear has been expressed
that careless handling would cause some
Smelling, but by commencing early and cut
ting it before it is over-ripe it is hoped to
avoid this contingency. There can be no
question that the crop will be large. The
few fields that have already been
cut fully bear out the assertion that the
Red River Valley output of wheat will be
a great one. On the Dalrymple farm har-
vest commenced to-day with 100 self-bind-
ers in row. The oat crop in Cass will
also be large one and the result big. The
average wheat crop for the immediate Red
River Valley can be set down at twenty
five bushels, and beyond a distance of
thirty miles from the river it may fall
little below it. In Trail, Walsh, Grand
FSkand Pembina Counties the harvest will
commence tomorrow and next day, and
the present fine weather may be taken as a
guarantee that the crop will be secured in
good condition. On the Minnesota the har-
vest was begun in several places and the
yield was good. Five large elevators are
being erected along the line of the More
head Northern for the reception of the fall
crop. With another week OF far weather,
crop of North Dakota will be cut and in
shock, and the best ever harvested in this
region.
