MARBLE 



The granular crystalline limestones and dolomites classed as 

 marble are found in the metamorphosed areas of the Adirondacks 

 and southeastern Xew York. A few varieties of compact, noncrys- 

 talline limestone, such as the black limestone of the Trenton forma- 

 tion occurring at Glens Falls and the fossiliferous Chazy limestone 

 along Lake Champlain, possess ornamental qualities that fit them for 

 special uses and pass as marble in the trade. 



The principal quarries of monumental marble are situated in the 

 vicinity of Gouverneur, St Lawrence county. The typical product 

 is a rather coarse-grained, mottled white and gray marble which 

 takes a lustrous polish. It is graded according to color effect into 

 " light," '' medium," " dark," and ''extra dark." The best quality 

 is employed for monumental and ornamental work ; building stone is 

 of secondary importance. The quarries are operated by the Gouver- 

 neur Marble Co., St Lawrence Marble Quarries, and J. J. Callahan 

 >& Sons.
