Mr. Geo. Kuykendall a prosperous

which greatly resembles lithograph
stone. He brought a piece of it to
the Light office this morning and it
was taken to Mr. Robert Clark of the
Maverick-Clark Litho Co. by a report-
er. Mr. Clark said it resembled lith-
ographing stone very much but that
he could not positively state what it
was until he saw it worked by an en-
graver as there might possibly be some
sand in unpreceivable and that it
might not possibly be adapted to tak-
ing ink.
The stone is very smooth and nice
and Mr Kuykendall says there is plen-
ty of it in the vein.
