John Webber and Wm Wallace, of Renfrew, and Dan M&rkel. of Rvans City, own JOO acres at Rough Run all of which is underlaid with a foot veil of lime stone that Thos Bruce, a Pittsburg geologist, pronounces a fine article of marble. Kred McHec. of Pittsburir. owns 1«HH» acres adjoining part of which is underlaid with the same vein. RnfF & Company leased their land to the Houston Bros, who sub-let it to Morris, who is now mining the lime stone, or marble, and making a lime of i it .hat is considered the best that enters , Pittsburg. Regarding the discovery that this particular limestone will take and hold ! a polish, the same as marble, the Pitts- I burg News of Tuesday evening says: Thomas Bruce, a geologist, the same, by the way. who discovered th<* cali brated marble quarries of Georgia, has proven the deposits of Rough Run, But ler county, to be the very finest quality jof marble* A careful and thorougn I analysis of the marble has been made i with the result that all doubt has be, n | removed as to the value of the material, i Four samples, taken from the quarry at random, have been treated and polished I by Alexander Beggs & Sons, the Alle ] gheny marble men. and are now secure I ly stowed away in the safe of Frederick f McKee, in his office iu the Carnegie j building. Mr. McKee is the owner of the newly discovered marble deposit, and to s ;l y tnat he iselated is putting it very mildly. The one thing which is woirying him. however, is that lie did not have the geologist visit his Rough Run property long ago. I'nder present conditions. ( Mr. McKee hardly knows how to pro ceed. A Xew York man named Morris has the Rough Run property leased for a term of years, and is said to have sub let it to Houston Bros., the builders' I supply firm, whose office and yards are | located at Thirty second street and the i Pennsphania railroad Hons ton Bros, says that their Rough Run lime is che best to be found in the country, and as I thay have a large trade established in it, they will likely want to continue its manufacture, regardless of the value of the rock from which it is made. It seeuis, however, that in getting out the rock for lime-making, dynamite has lieen so extensively used as to have shattered all the rock in the quarry, to a greater or less degree On that ae connt the product of that particular quarry will not Vie of much value, from the marble man's standpoint, put as the whok 1 hill in which the quarry is locat ed is composed of the same kind of rock, it is said that an opening will be made on the other side, which also be longs to Mr McKee, and is not under lease. The samples of the marble, now in Mr. McKee'« safe, are said to be very beautiful one being of brown marble, another white, another striped and the fourth black. Expert marble men say the Rough Run deposit is worth $1,200 per ton. Heretofore they have lieen re ducing the rock to lime, which is worth but a few dollars per ton. Mr. McKteis anxious to realize on his marble quarries, and work will probably be started soon He has been keeping the discovery quiet for business reasons. The side of the hill which he will probably open to get at the marble deposits is not far from the railroad. tluriiion.Y ami Z«'lii*noj»i«'.
