Marble in Nevada Worth Attention of Government Experts
A Nevada marble deposit in White Pine County was examined in 1907 by N H Darton of the US Geological Survey at the Treasury's request. Exposures lie in Snake Range canyons near the Utah and Nevada border. The 150 foot thick marble bed includes dark blue gray and white bands, with pink patches, and polishes well. Quarrying appears feasible given favorable bed geometry and a good canyon road, though hauling to rail by mountain routes adds cost. Crushing strengths of four surface samples ranged from about 17 000 to over 20 000 pounds per square inch, with analyses noted in Barton report.
