Marble Deposit Near Townsend With Wide Color Range
Montana engineers plan to develop a vast marble deposit near Townsend noted for cream white gray and black colors and rose tints. The site near Helena holds onyx and breccias with strong tensile strength and non absorptive surface ideal for grand building projects and interior decorations for the new federal reserve bank in Helena. The Glengarry mining group led by Hamilton shifts ore to Gardiner for smelting while road work advances for year-round transport through the park with ore shipments expected daily.
