EMERY COUNTY MARBLE
__________
Expert opinions lately obtained on samples of marble from the claims located by Ira and E. S. Day of Lawrence together with several others are very encouraging. There are said to be as many if not more varieties of colors in this new marble find than can be found in any other marble property in the United States. The coloring too is said to be of the prettiest uranium tints. So far however there is no pure white but it is expected that this may be encounter with further development work. The stone dresses nicely. Mr Hayden, an expert eastern stone cutter, is now engaged in making some pretty ornamental work at Huntington. He too pronounces the Emery County stone the equal of any he has heretofore seen. There are several ledges of the marble exposed on Lost Spring wash east of Cedar Mountain and about 27 miles from Lawrence showing the deposit to be of great quantity. An effort will be made to get the stone on the market and secure the endorsement of some prominent builder in Salt Lake and elsewhere. There is enough of the material in Emery County to build several cities and it is expected that a good industry will soon be established about the stone deposits along the eastern edge of Cedar Mountain.
