In the east end of the Maricopa
mountains, about four miles from the
Maricopa and Phoenix railroad, which
is left couple of miles north of Tempe,
Is one of the finest granite quarries in
Arizona. The stone Is solid, of dark
grain and can be had in as large blocks
as fiat car will carry. This stone, so
conveniently to our city, should be the
chief material in the construction of the
capitol building. 1t is convenient; it is
q fine color and texture; it cannot be
surpassed as building material. The
granite lies on the top of the ground
in sufficient quantities to build a city,
is therefore readily Quarried and
should be very economical material,
as we'll as first class in every respect.
The short distance to be hauled, and
the ease of quarrying wonld permit
the material being put on the ground
here very rapidly. Why not use this
material not only in the capitol build
ing but in other buildings about the
city IS they go up?-Phoenix Herald.
