On this bright October morning

Full OF natures sweetness glowing.
Somber flowers become the few

OF stars;
Far. far beyond His throne is fixed in
space,
From whence He dictates natures gen.
rous plan.
The mountain peak bathed in its purple
mist
First feels His breath blown from the
starry skies;
The budding flowers struggling through
the snow
The Easter lily and the summer rose,
The varied tints OF autumn's changing
moods,
The soothing velvet-sreen of wood and
field,
All have His thought and own His help

The ocean dashed 10 fury on the rocks
Obeys His voice: Thus far, no farther

Great nature speaks Of an eternal life,
Loudly she calls 10 those who know
her ways;
But learn her language and she speaks
the truth,
And tells you of creations early dawn.
The progress of the race through ages

And OF mans duty and his destiny:
For what is nature but the voice Of God
His living presence in the midst of all,

NEW |NDUTRY MAY
PROVE A BONANZA
BEST LIME IN THE WORLD
MADE FROM BLACK MARBLE
NEAR HERE.

What is destined to be an indus
try. of no mean proportions is now
being developed near the mouth of
Hurricane canyon, Just southwest Of
this city. Charles Christy has been
burning a good quality of lime in
he canyon for several years. but
.ast summer he experimental with
he we'll known black marble of
which there are immense deposits
in the canyon. The result exceed
ed all expectations, the product be-
ing a chalk white lime, almost abb
solutely pure. 1t has been tried and
Jested both here at home and out
side and the universal verdict is
the best lime we ever used or saw
1t is so free from impurities that one
barrel OF it goes as far as one and
half barrels of ordinary lime.
A company has been formed to
exploit the deposits and is known
as the Black Marble Lime company,
composed of Mr.. Christy and his son
Henry, and George Houser, a well
known capitalist.
One large kiln is already in OPP
GRAFTON and carload of fire brick
recently arrived at this station with
which three new kilns will be built,
giving capacity of from $4,000 to
10000 barrels per year. Ed Eben of
Joseph has contracted to market
the entire product, and S. D. Kelt-
ner has the sole sale of the lime
at Enterprise.
A car load of barrel slaves has
also been received and shipments
will begin soon. Over 1000 tons of
The marble were gotten out the
past winter ready for burning. When
in full running the works will give
employment to IL or Is men. En-
terprise will be the shipping point
of the lime.
The black marble will doubtless
soon be quarried for other uses, as
it is beautiful stone and takes
readily high po.ish.
