Widespread interest and a good
deal of suppressed excitement have..ex
listed in town for the past two weeks on
account of the discovery of exhaustless
beds of marble underlying lola and
vicinity. Uncertainty as to the real
character of the marble and lack of in
formation as to the expense of devel-
oping quarries have prevented our
people from being unduly enthusiastic
over the new find. But now the opin.
ion Of our local marble men who have
all along pronounced the product the
very finest of marble, has been corrob-
grated by probably the best authority
on the subject in the United States.
Mr.. T. c. Bramley sent specimens last
week to VIM. C. Townsend of Zanes
vile, Ohio, one Of the most extensive
dealers in marble goods in the country
who has operated marble quarries in
Italy. Vermont, Pennsylvania, Geor-
gia and Tennessee and he now has Mr..
Townsend's reply saying that the lola
marble is the equal of any of these,
and excels most of them both In beauty
and fineness of texture. This ls indeed
glorious news, and means infinitely
more for lola than any and all of the
enterprises eyer engaged in here. Mr.
Bramley. being asked if a quarry
could be probably developed, respond.
ed: "There is no question of it; and
more than that, there is no question
but that it ,Dill be developed" Fari-
Gus parties with capital are already in
communication with Mr.. Bramley and
parties whose interest has been enlist
ed are expected every day. IL is to be
hoped that home capital may become
interested in the development of the
industry, as it is of the first importance
that manufacturing plants, as well AZ
the quarries, should be concentrated
here.
The average debth Of the marble
from the surface seems to be about q
feet. The vein is varionsly estimated
from 80 to 40 feet in thickness. Sue.
cessive strata develop different colors,
beginning with q notified gray, and
running through blush pink, blue
red and clear white.
II this enterprise fulfills the promise
that now seems reasonable, after these
many years our chip will surely have
come In.

THE LOTTERY BILL.
The North Dakota House Emphatically
HurfcS the Hill.

BISMARCK, y. D., March l3.-The Lou
isiana Lottery Company made final and
unsuccessful attempt 10 get 4 char
ter 10 do business in North Dakota. The
Capitol building was crowded TO its fullest
capacity Yesterday. as it has been generally
understood the bill would come up in tho
Senate and the spectators were not disap-
pointed The report of the Seed Wheat
Committee was read.
The Committee stated that it had under
consideration an offer by George Spencer,
as agent for the Louisiana State Lottery
Company. TO purchase 10000 bushels of
seed wheat for the stricken farmers in
North Dakota, they to pay back the same
after the first threshing, with no interest.
He also offers to Immediately deposit 800
600 as guarantee of his good faith, and
Furthermore, to annually pay into the State
treasury the sum of Sl5O,0O0. In return il
is asked that the Louisiana Lottery Com
pany may have the privileges Of doing bust
ness in North Dakota, with a charter for
twenty-five years.
The opponents of the bill moved to lay it
on the table. and that motion was defeated
by vote of II yeas 10 10 nays. However.
as a test vote il sealed the fate of the bill,
for it developed the fact that in the Senate,
where the measure was considered strong
est, the two-thirds necessary TO pass over
the Governors veto was not forthcoming.
This really settled the fate of the bill but
it also went through the mill-or part of the
way-in the House, where ii met with the
same fate as in the Senate.
The House held a night session, and there
was an exciting debate on the motion to re-
consider the vote by which the bill was de
feated
When the vote was finally taken the mo-
ton to reconsider was defeated by vote of
"a to %. This is regarded as the death
knell Of the Lottery Company's hopes in
