The MARBLE MILL.-Isreal Luce, ol
Sacramento, who owns the marble quarry
in Inyo, was in Reno, and is figuring on
water power for mill to saw up his rock.
If he succeeds in getting started, he will in
the end have works here for working marble
into monuments and figures. His marble
is not the common kind, but is known as
dolomite, and is supposed by scientists TO
have been formed by volcanic vapors. 1t
is of excellent quality, and he has noun
tain of it. He believes if the c. & G. is
built down to the Atlantic and Pacific that
he will have the monopoly of the whole
Mississippi valley. as ne can lay down the
rock in New Orleans cheaper than YER
mont or Italian marble can be got there.
He can saw out caps and sills cheaper than
a man can cut granite or sandstone. He is
divided in his inclination between the
water power on Owens river and one at
Reno. His material will lose one-ffth in
waste and thus save freight, but be has TO
box all of his square pieces, and viii hayeto
ship lumber down from this country if ne
goes to Owens river so there will not be
much in favor of either place. He will
put up four gang saws and one rip saw and

to the extent of the business. which may
be immense some day.-Inyo bldependeat

New YORK, May 3lst-Almost with the
| first dawn of daylight people began to as
semble around General Grants tomb, and
| by 10 o'clock hundreds of visitors were on
the bluff overlooking the Hudson. Plat
| forms in the form of stages had been built
on each side of the tomb, and at daybreak
the business of arranging the floral decora-
tons on and around the latter began. The
front of the tomb was draped with ivy
sprays so thickly as almost to hide the
brickwork. On each side of the gate were
beautiful wreaths of lilies, red and yellow
roses and ferns. The iron bars of the gate
were entwined with sprays of smilax,
mixed with roses. Over the gate was a
crown of magnificent lilies and other flow
ers. with a white dove descending on ii,
and round the half circle of the arch was
the inscription. Faithful Unto Death"
The lettering was composed of white
Christmas roses. Over the keystone
of the arch stood a floral cross of
arms, Easter lilies, roses, and smilax. The
interior of the tomb was mass of palm
branches, foliage, plants and ferns maiden
hair and others. On each side of the gate
way were disposed scrolls of white immor-
telles, bearing in purple letters the words
" Finis and Peace, and in front of the
entrance was three-inch gun, composed
of white immortelles, with a carriage of
ivy, white dove perched on the muzzle.
The members of the Grand Army who
took part in the ceremonies at the tomb
went up the Hudson by steamer to One
Hundred and Twenty-ninth street, and
marched thence to the spot, where they ar
rived about p. NJ. BY this time Riverside
Park, in the neighborhood, was filled with
vast throng of people, stretching away
from the central object Of interest in every
direction.
During the march to the tomb the North
Atlantic squadron fired minute guns. At
the tomb battalion of marines and State
Fencibes formed a line TO the left, while
the Grand Army Posts advanced 10 the
place reserved for them in front of the
grand stand. The ceremonies began by
the playing of Chopin's funeral march.
This was followed by the Grand Army rit-
ual, read by Commander J. p Howatt
A fter the Amphion Musical Society had
sung the hymn, Nearer, Ny God, to
prayer. When he had finished there fol-
lowed responsive service from the Grand
Army ritual, in which Chaplain r. B. e..
William, the Amphion Society, Com
mander Howatt and Post Commander II.
NJ. Calvert took part. The Amphion So
ciety sang "Ye Heroes Who Immortal
Live" and then General Logan delivered
| the address of the day.
