Marl 



Much attention has been directed to deposits of marl because of 

 the demand for it in the manufacture of Portland cement. These 

 deposits are nearly pure carbonate of lime, with a greater or less admix- 

 ture of certain impurities, mainly silica and organic material. 



The more extensive and important deposit in the area is that which 

 is still in process of deposition, covering the shores and the greater 

 portion of the bottoms of the Blue Sea lakes, in concessions xii and 

 XIII of Limerick. The other deposits form the bottom of Snow lake, 

 lot 24, concession ix of WoUaston. The depth of the marl was in neither 

 case ascertained, but it is very evidently of such extent as to be available 

 for economic purposes. 



Marble 



An unlimited supply of various marbles can be obtained in this 

 district. Only a few places have been opened for ornamental stone, 

 but these examinations were sufficient to show that marbles of various 

 colours and textures, equal to the best imported material, could be 

 obtained. Large blocks, free from flaws and shakes, suitable for 

 coltmms of any size can be quarried, and as transporation facilities are 

 adequate, stone could be put on the market in large centres, such as 

 Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal, at prices much lower than those ob- 

 taining for imported marbles. 



On lots I and 2 ,concession xii of Faraday township, a great deal 

 of work has been done in opening up a marble quarry. 



The presence of good workable marble has here been proved, over 

 an area more than half a mile long by some i ,000 feet wide. Stone can be 

 obtained ranging from a coarse crystalline white marble to a grayish, 

 dove coloured, fine-grained stone ; variegated and veined marbles 

 have also been imcovered. 



The Ontario Marble Quarries, Ltd., have opened up a quarry on 

 lots 41 and 42, Hastings Road East in Faraday. At least four varieties 

 of marble can be obtained in different parts of the area. 



Other marbles deposits have been noted in many localities including : 

 Faraday— lots 41 and 43, Hastings Road West
