The slone i* somewhat coarser j in grain than that at Regal. I he ? color is light to dark blue and usu ally uniform. Tests were made a -hort distance east of Andrews with a one-inch diamond drill. It is said that cores 5 to 7 feet long entirely free from joints or fractures were ? .frequently taken out. The quality* of the marble j between Murpb\ and \ndrews seems t> be entirely salisfactorx for build ing and monumental purposes.

Its J upper surface and joint planes show 1 sinus of solution but the remaining rock i> perfectly* fresh and hard. No extensive attempts have been made to measure its resistance to '?old in a moist atmosphere. Keith, however, slates that tests on the marble from Hewitts show that it is not liable to be acted upon by frost or solution. The physical properties of the marble seem entirelv satisfactory. Preliminary tests made by the Engi neering Experiment Station of the North Carolina State College of Ag riculture and Engineering show an average crushing strength for both the blue and white varieties of some 20.000 pounds per square inch. It Imped ir. the r.csr futuic iu com plete a series of tests on the marble to determine its fitness for all uses to which marble is ordinarily put. Mr. J. J. McClvmont writing in ! the magazine, "Through the Ages." which is devoted to marble, in 1926 i classified all stone into four groups, ! \. B. C. and D. with respect to size of quarried block, soundness of stone and cost of quarrying, and then described the commercial marble of the world. In the June. 1926 issue of this magazine he described the 1 marble quarried at Regal. N. C., and listed it in his B class which is the second in cheapness of produc tion and quality. He says "Regal Blue, quarried at Regal, C. Deep blue with small percentages of blue and white lines. Nos. 2 and 3 gradse arc similar. Is used principally for monumental work." His description of group B is as follows: "Marble sold to the trade ?n slabs or blocks of fair to medium size, generally rectangular in s'lape, guaranteed sound and free from internal de fects." Perhaps the best way to judce the attractiveness of a stone for build inn or monumental purposes to s^e it in the monument or building. I The Cherokee County officials re I ? itl\ l? ???! a c?nirt!iouse built in Mur >h\ of the i il marble. Pari of the marble i:sed in this eourtho ?se i was quarried al Warble and part I '.ear ("oak ille. \?? attempt v. ill be made to de scribe ! Ii?* bunding in detail. The *\te: i<?r walls art* built of the d?v p lii? -parlil- in .1 sand finish The interior i* finished with a baseboad of deep blue highly polished. Aoove this is a wainscoating of polished white (variegated.) The floors in the halls are a fheiknrboard pattern of marble tile cut from both the deep blue and the white. In front of the building are four colmuns 25 feet high by about 20 inches in dia meter. Each of the columns con sist of three pieces of marble turned from a solid block. This building is described bv practically everyone who sees it as tinusuallv attractive both with re spect to the stone used and the gne eral outlines of the building. Onarr\ ing of marble has been car ried on at Renal for several years l>\ the Regal Blue Marble Company, i This company has recent In passed into neu hands who are planning extensive quarrying operations near Coalville, in the central part of the marble belt in Cherokee County. 1 NOTICE TO Sl kscribe^ I.a-t week when -lartwl ^ ?' !>r"?f <>f '"ailing lis, ,0 ' tin- paper on!, we dropped and il lliat is. mixed j( aj| i ?and look a shovel and she, vein) J up in a 1?>\.
