BRING COUNTY MARBLE
IN FROM MOUNTAINS
Golden State Mining and Marble Com.
pany Makes First Shipment from
FL Centro to Los Angeles

An interesting sight on Main street
this morning was the appearance of
two four-horse teams with wagons on
which were heavy blocks of Imperial
ment of marble from the quarries of
the Golden State Mining and Marble
Company, located about twenty-eight
miles west of Ell Centro on the east
end of the Coyote mountain range
The largest of these blocks weighed
1900 pounds. This was as large as
could be conveniently handled by team
on the long haul across the sandy
roads, but James S. Fowler, the mar
bic expert engaged by the company
to make Investigations at the quarries,
says that it is possible to obtain blocks
Of almost any size desired from the
ledges now uncovered.
G. A. Walker of San Diego, presi-
dent of the company, and W. H. Tren-
chard, who has superintended the
opening up of the lodges, came in with
Mr.. Fowler last night and the teams
with the heavy loads arrived here this
morning, having been two days on the
road.
These blocks are being shipped to
marble cutters at Los Angeles, where
they will be cut and dressed for SAM
pies. The blocks shipped are Of dark
gray, but Mr.. Walker has samples of
other marbles from this same district
that include white streaked with
brown white marked with blue and
pure white. The marble takes a fine
polish.
Mr.. Walker states that the ledges
from which the present shipment were
taken are within seven miles of the
present valley end of the San Diego
and Arizona railroad, and that they
have other ledges within five miles.
When the road is completed their quar-
ries will be within three miles OF the
railroad.
They state that they are now in a
position to furnish marble for building
purposes, by delivering it to the pres
ent end of the new railroad. Eventu-
ally it is expected a spur track will
be built to the uuarrieS.

These Tyrolese SinGers


No paint; no powder; no flowing
trains and gewgaws Of fashions latest
decree-but freshness and vivacity
that was as welcome as the breath of
spring. and q volume of melody that
was entrancing, produced by 4 dozen
buxom Tyrolese young men and maid
ens-this is what patrons of the OPP
era House enjoyed last night when
Franz Rainer's Original Tyrolese Dane
ers and Singers gave their first pro-
gram here. The entire program was
delightful. The Swiss and German
songs were loudly encCred and while
there was delicious quaintness in the
English OF the soloists when Darling,
We Are Growing Old" and Just Scme
One were given, the numbers were
highly appreciated, and the Tyr0lese
singers certainly got more real music
cut of these two songs than any SIM
liar bevy Of American singers could
produce. And the dancing-oasy and
graceful and so different from the Or
dinary stage performance-must be
seen to be appreciated. A change Of
program will be given tonight A fea-
ture of last nights audience was the
presence of 9 large number of the
members of Imperial valleys Swiss

Ratt!esnake in School House

The school at Palo Verde, in the
extreme northeastern corner of I'M
perial county, became panic stricken
the other day when a big rattlesnake
made it's way unobserved into the
building and coiled itself for nap
under the teachers desk No one
seemed to notice the intruder until a
pupil came forward to recite He was
speechless for a moment and could
only scream as he pointed a finger at
the reptile. Others soon saw the
cause of the commotion and added
their screams of terror. The teacher,
Miss Halvorson, was the last to make
out what it all meant, and almost par
alyzed with fright sat stock still in
her chair Children in the rear of
the room ran out and into the brush,
screaming their fright as they ran.
This attracted the attention of passen-
gers, who had just come in on the
auto and they ran to the rescue of the
children, dispatching the reptile in
short order.
