Rumors OF big developments in the
limestone and dolomite industry in the
vicinity of Millville are abroad. From
the evidenceat hand, many ofthese rumors
are we'll founded. The big boom in lime
stone and dolomite in that section has in
duced the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
Company to build a branch road from
Millville to the powerp plant ofthe Northern
Virginia Power Company. This branch,
it is said, will be built this year. The
power company has long needed branch
line TO enable it to get coal for its auxil-
larry plant operated by steam. Not until
there were prospects OF getting other
freight than coal did the railroad company
consider the subject OF building branch
line to the power plant. The opening OF
quarries on the Moler farm, together
with the probability that quarries will be
opened on the Wetzelf farm, farther south,
are chief reasons operating in favor OF
new railroad track. The Southern Lime
stone Company, already operating quar-
ries at Engle's, has purchased an option
on the farm of Hon. c. M. Wetzel. Ex-
animation OF the limestone deposits there
is said to have shown high percentage
of dolomite. The option on the Wetzel
farm was taken with view OF enlarging
The Southern's operations in this county.
The Cambria Steel Company, OF which
the Southern is subsidiary, with steel
mills at Jamestown, Pa, requires much
greater quantity OF limestone than can be
supplied by the quarries at Engle'S, hence
the expansion in the Millville field.-Ad-
