Stanfield, June 6—What is considered by authorities as one of Stanley’s most valuable natural resources has just been brought to light by real progressives of Stanly county. Not everyone knows a good thing when they see it, but this cannot be said of T.C. Love and R.C. Huneycutt, for these wide awake men have laid the foundation for a big enterprise for western Stanly by their business-like investigation and development of what promises to be one of the best, if not the best quarry, in the state or the entire south.
Accurate official tests show that the rock is of a highly excellent quality. In fact, Jasper L. Stuckey, state geologist, says in part:
“This report means that the material passes entirely satisfactorily all of the requirements for crushed stone in general concrete and road building use. A stone which has the French Coefficient of 10 is satisfactory. Your stone has a coefficient of 21.1, which means it is an excellent stone. The material is entirely satisfactory for crushed stone for all sorts of general road and building purposes.”
It is of special interest that the stone is of the building grade as well as road construction.
