He also will prospect for the best and most available route over which to build wagon road. MT. Kelly, an in- telligent prospector, accompanied him. MT. Ligier, who exported the property last month, reports that the peculiar ity of this marble IS that the statuary quality is encountered on the surface something that does not appear in any other known quarry in the United States. He states that the same quaI- ity of marble IS only reached at great depth. The principal statuary marble quarry of the country is situated in the state of Vermont and such marble as this can only be obtained hundreds oi feet from the surface. That being the case new industry is promised, oi which Phoenix is bound to derive great benefit. As soon as the gentlemen who own the property will have per. fected arrangements whereby it will be profitable to supply the marble trade of which Phoenix will be the center skilled quarrymen will be put to work. MT. Ligier says that the quarry is ot great magnitude and will yield for un. told years.
