3. l. Warren, Of Day. was in For.

meus Of marble from his land on
Bear creek. These are different
from anything VIC have yet seen In
that line. The specimens arc small
and Of course show only . few
square inches Of the dressed aud
polished surface; but this 10 enough
to give some idea Of the possibilities
Of tho stone. We hardly know how
to classify this marble. All the speci.
mems were colored, varying from
gray TO dark brown or drab. One
Of then. 10 particular was fnc, being
beautifully mottled or clouded, aud
. large block Of this stoue properly
dressed aud polished, would certainly
have an attractive appearance. We
understand that Mr.. Warren 10 going

prospect. Being without means, II
will be necessary for him 10 take .
partner to work one tract of the
land. At present, anyone interested
in the development Of these marble
resources, eau obtain an undivided
interest In ono Of Mr. Warrcn's 40.

Mr.. Warren talked of leaving the
