The marble prospects in the Chiri-

posits examined are in Cochise county,
Ariz., and are accessible from Bowie.
Ariz., and Rodeo, N. M. The rock is
a nearly pure carbonate of
lime, of mediums grained crystalline
granular structure, and is white, with
pinkish tones. 1t is probably available
for exterior building and for interior
decorative use. Tests of the marble
were made at the geological surveys
tructural-material laboratory at st.
