Porcelain Clay and Marble.

B. r. Noble, president of the Black
Hills Porcelain, Clay and Marble COM
pany arrived in the city yesterday from
Custer and is quite enthusiastic over the
company's properties in the Custer dis
trict, says the Pioneer.Times of recent
date. The marble expert brought from
Vermont to examine the ground has
pronounced the marble as fine quality
as he has ever seen. There is vein of
it, one and three-quarters feet by six
hundred feet and from seventy.fv to
one hundred feet thick. 1t would be
possible to ship $5,000,000 worth of the
marble every year and still haye enough
left for all the descendants of the men,
bers of company for hundred years to
come. There are large quantities of the
gravestone and Mexican onyx and the
supply of kaolin clay is inexhaustible.
The company also owns two fine ship
ping mica mines and claim of very
fine variegated variety in bright ruby
and white and is Of the kind much used
in pillars and wainscotting. There is
also on the property, tho only good
lithograph stone to be found in America.
The property covers over 200 acres of
ground. Mr.. Noble expects to begin
shipping the marble within the next
thirty days and agencies will be estab-
lished for the sale Of it in all large cities
Of the west. The financial outlook for
the company is bright as nothing of the
kind has ever been discovered in the
west and therefore the markets will be
near home and not at great distances.
The company owns, altogether, some
thing over 800 acres. About $4,000
worth of machinery for cutting, boring
and hosting has been ordered, and ac-
tive operations will commence in few
days.
The company have force of men at
work putting up q boarding house and
quarters for the men, and are also
building roads. Hosting machinery, a
large derrick to handle any size stone,
steam engine. ETC., have been purchased
and are expected to arrive in few
days. The hoist arrived Thursday.

The republicans of Fall River and
Meade counties held their conventions
last Saturday. Both instructed their
delegates to the state convention to
support f. w. Martin for congress. This
very clearly indicates the wishes of the
rank and fls of the republican voters of
the Black Hills. Custer county will
hold it's convention this afternoon, and
there is no doubt but what the delegates
will be instructed for Mr.. Martin. At
this writing its looks as though nothing
could prevent Mr.. Martins omination,
even though should he lose his own
delegation, that of Lawrence county
Rev. I. NJ. Shanafelt Of Huron, Supt Of
