Porcelain Clay and Marble.
Hot Springs, S. D., May 21.—The Black Hills Porcelain Clay and Marble company are hard at work. A force of twelve men is stripping the marble ledge and building a wagon road over the soft places. The marble is showing a face of twenty-five feet and is getting harder and better in quality as depth is attained. The company will commence building bunk houses and a boarding house as soon as lumber can be sawed—it is hoped next week.
