THE MARBLE AGE.
A m Am erfean bonanza the History OF
which Reads l. ike a Romance.
The British Quarterly Review.

AAiO 0titisu QutibeTlJ htNleN
The nineteenth century, that will
be famous in history written in after
centuries for having inaugurated the
wonderful Inventions that are crowd.
ing their way on each others heels
almost too fast TO be recorded, will
likely be known as the marble age, in
view of the stupen3ous findings OF
marble in the State of Georgia. re-
garding Which the press of America
is teewing.
1t seems that a company of capital
lists of Chicago, the typical American
city, who possess the happy combina-
ton of unusual executive ability,
together with practically unlimited
means and credit, have secured the
ownership of marble beds comprising
almost all known colors, from the
parest white statuary,.. really superior
to the far famed Italian, all through
the various tints of light and dark
blue, pink, variegated, and, in fact,
seemingly all desirable varieties, not
stratified, as has always heretofore
been the case with marble deposits,
but in huge beds of unbroken solidity,
rendered it possible to furnish blocks
only limited in size by the capacity of
railroad cars. These quarries are in
the immediate vicinity of Atlanta, the
capital OF Georgia, a most favorable
situation on account of its being q
great railroad center and possessing
advantages as distributing point
second to none ia the south,
The eyes of the old world will now
be turned with more curiosity than
ever 10 their younger sister since this
great marble discovery, the desctip-
ton of which read more like the
wonderful tales of the Arabian Nights
then like the stern realities of every
day life, but in spite of tie seemingly
exaggerated accounts of the newspa-
per reports of this new industry the
names of the men at the head of the
enterprise leave no room for doubt.
Besides this such ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
as the Atlanta Constitution, The
Chicago Herald, the Boston Herald,
and other sieAilar heightened and
responsible papers, would not devote
their columns to accounts of this
marble bonanza if it did not exist.
The story of the organization of this
vast enterprise is romance of itself
how it commenced by casual
conversation on one of the Chicago
limited express trains (another Yankee
conception in which Henry @.
Clement, millionaire merchant of
Chicago, became interested; how he
left a business and the comforts and
Injuries Of a home, securing the
service of marble experts, and spent
months with them roughing it in the
mountains of Georgia, in land
which, up to within as recent a period
as fifty years, was the hunting
grounds of the Cherokee, Seminole
and Greek Indians. But history only
repeats itself, and the rapid develop
ment of the marble fields of the new
world is but another letter in the
alphabet of American enterprise, as
shown in connection with their gold,
silver, oil, railroad and telegraph
industries, and are simply succession
of surprises to us staid, conservative
Europeans.
