our last Fair has abundantly proven she does in all other arts and indus- 

 tries. 



All of which is most respectfully submitted by your humble servants,

ADDENDA. 



"We view with regret the fact that mines or leads of marble in this State 

 are but poorly developed. We have ourselves inspected the various mines 

 in Amador and Placer Counties, and are of opinion that none of it, in 

 qualities most essential for working, equals the Cararra marble. We 

 are satisfied that with the necessary encouragement from the State, 

 marble quarries could be developed which would not only supply our 

 own demands, but furnish material for exportation, thereby inaugu- 

 rating another of the already long list of products for which our State 

 has become famous. 



Respectfully, your obedient servants, 



J. C. DEVINE & BRO., 



Nos. 216 and 218 K street, between Seventh and Eighth, 



Sacramento, California.
