Two miles -southwest from the

Bessemer company, or-, three to
three and a half miles from Sevier,
on land belonging' to the estate of
the late Colonel Yancy, the forma

marble. - .This ' material has been
burned, and it is said to make a
strong lime, but it is hard to burn.
These limestone and marble depos
its offer four possible forms of de
velopment: 1. As a building stone;
2, as a source of lime for building
purposes; 3, as a source of lime for
agricultural purposes; 4, as crushed
rock for concrete work, for ballast,
and for macadamizing roads. The
stone breaks with sharp edges and
it seems to me is very suitable for
concrete work. Water-power
could probably be developed in the
