Inc accompanying photograph was
taken today of a monument made in
the early eighties of Beaver county
white marble, and now standing in
the City cemetery. The monument was
placed by the firm OF Elias Morris &
Sons company and lettered by Arnold
G. G1auque, now bishop Of the Sixth
ward Bishop Giauque inspected the
monument this week and later made
the statement that it is now in virtual
ly as good condition as it was when
made practically thirty years ago. In
comparing the wearing qualities Of the
Beaver county white marble with east
ern and European marbles the bishop
stated that the Utah material has re-
sisted weathering far better than any
OF its competitors
The Beaver county white marble
has been proposed for use in the Utah
State Capitol building, but outside in
terests have insisted that this home
product win not withstand weathering
in our acid atmosphere. IL any refu-
tation is needed the above photograp ph
certainly meets every demand.
The Beaver county white marble
contains precisely 10 per cent OF
magnesium carbonate, while most of
the other marbles in competition with
it contains but very little Of this mate,
rial. II is we'll known among stone
men that the presence Of magnesium
carbonate adds greatly to the life OF a
marble.
