American Carrara Marble PeO-
pie Plan Heavy Shipments
of Product to Coast.

TOnopah was visited this morning
by number Of the most prominent
capitalists of Ohio and Kentucky, all
interested heavily in the American
Carrara Marble company. In the
party were Judge w C. Taylor, CAPT
talist Of Winchester, Kentucky; L.
w. Dewey, president of the Dewey
Bros. Grain Co., and the Ohio State
Millers, Of Blanchester, Ohio; w H
Picking, banker and manufacturer,
of Bucyrus, Ohio; N. F. Cheairs, OF,
operator, of Winchester, Kentucky;
P. V. Perkins, president of the Ameri-
can Carrara Marble company
The gentlemen had been on a visit
of inspection to the great marble
quarries at Carrara, and arrived in
Goldfield yesterday afternoon where
they spent the night coming over
to Tonopah this morning. They were
most agreeably surprised to find
conditions so lively as in this dis
trict, and all voiced the sentiments
of Judge Taylor that they would re-
turn here a little later on in the
year and acquaint themselves with
the great silver mining industry of
this section.
I'VE had no idea that Tonopah had
as large a population as we found,
remarked Judge Taylor but we sure
ly were surprised to find such free
and broad minded people as we have
in this country. Down in my home
we bow to people on the street as
we pass, but this wonderful liberal
ity of your Nevada people is GER
tainly embracing and educational"
The American Carrara Marble COM
pany has started shipments of great
blocks of marble to both Los Angeles
and San Francisco While the COM
pany has its own plant at the quar-
ries the marble is shipped in blocks
to the contractors, as it has been
found that the contractors can make
a big saving by saving their own
blocks, thus eliminating the heavy
cost of electric power,
The Carrara marble quarries are
the largest in the world, and the
finest marble is being mined that
has ever been discovered. The de-
mand for the product is rapidly in
creasing and contracts are held in
the west that will keep three shifts
of miners busy for the next few
years. The deposits consist really
of four mountains and the supply is
practically inexhaustible and is sut-
ficient to supply several generations.
The American Carrara Marble COM
pany has expended over $1,1O0,OOO
in developing and equipplng its quar-
ries, and had it not been for the
diIitary tactics of J. A, Sanders, then
district attorney of Nye county, but
now a supreme court justice, in re
fusing to file an injunction suit
against the Nevada California Power
company to restrain the tearing down
of the power line leading to the quar-
ries. Southern Nevada would today
be blooming like rose. The Bon
ANA at that time requested Sanders
to file this suit, but he absolutely
paid no heed to the demands of the
taxpayers, but permitted the power
company to dismantle the power line
in the night. Carrara people have
not forgotten Sanders for his negli'
gence and il he runs for supreme
court Justice this fall they say he
will not receive two votes out of the
70 that will be cast in that precinct
and the Bonanza doubts If he will
receive two votes in that precinct
