More Marble In Monkton

Splendid reports have been brou.sht
to Rutland of the new ledges of mar yle
that have been discovered on the Casper
Dean farm, l.. f. Meech's farm and the
Smith farm in Monkton. That on the
latter resembles the marble now being
quarried on the Thomas Bros farm BIZ
the Vermont Marble company. A speci-
men from the Casper Dean farm has been
polished and it is very fine. 1t is Of q
brown color, closely resembling onyx,
and for decorative work will be fine.
The marble on the Mech farm is divided
into three kinds-pink and white, brown
and white, and brown, pink and white.
The probabilities are that all these ledges
will be developed, to some extent at
least, either this fall or next spring.
The Vermont Marble company continues
operations at East Monkton, and several
carloads have already been shipped, with
more to follow. Rumor has 1t that the
Columbia Marble Quarrying company
will soon resume operations on the
Drake-Farr farm at East Monkton.
