The marbles of Bear Creek, ten miles from Silver City, will without doubt attract a great deal of attention in the near future. The Black marble is of a jet black color, the variegated marbles of the same series are as fine as can be found anywhere, very even in texture and susceptible of a very high polish. Within the next year these quarries will be shipping large quantities east and west as there is a great demand for the kind of marble found there.
