Is There Cement Material in
Rio Blanco County

The recent sale of large body
Of land near New London, Mo-, by
Judge II. J. Priest (brother of J. NJ.
Priest of this town., has aroused in
terest as to whether there is cement
making material in this county.
Many contend that there is, and in
large quantities.
Cement can be put to many uses,
and the growing scarcity of lumber
in the Nation will make it's use still
more general. A recent article on
cement and it's uses in the Scientific
American points out that we are now
on the threshold of the cement age.
