COLORADO MARBLE BEING
USED FOR LINCOLN MEMORIAL i
The white marble of which the
great >2,000,000 Lincoln memorial
tample is to. be. built on the banks
of the Potomac in Washington is
to oome from Sopris national forest
building In the east to be constructed
of this stone, known to the building
trades as Denver marble, though
much of It has been used as an interior
finish In public buildings. In
the weet a notable example of its
use Is found in the new federal
building at Denver.
w duo vue uiaroie quarries are in s
t~o L.'da. 57 the national forest, r
they are on piivate land secured c
under the laws by which areas bear- r
lng deposits of building stone are dis posed
of "by the government:?TTtp" dor
the law prospectors can locate J
and secure tltlo to mineral deposits
on the national forests Just as they
can on the open public domain. The ^
marble company which owns thp
quarries is a large user of national
forest timber in the working of its
properties, situated near Marbfe,
Colo.
| The history of the company Is said
to be of considerable Interest, as *
| representing indomitable enterprise 11
against difficulties. The country jl
in which the marble deposits occur 1
| la extremely rough and precipitous, j
and for a long time was InaccesBi- s
|J>ie because of lack of transporto- i
, tlon facilities. Large sums had <
to be expended before the stone 1
could be got and brought to market
Up to 1907, when the product first t
-began to attract attention, it Is 1
said that $1,200,000 had been ex. r
pended in developing the property, c
