From Our Own Correspondent SUVA, June 1.
A NOTHER deposit of marble has been found on the island of Vitilevu. Some time ago, in the Tailevu district, a large deposit of good quality white marble was discovered.
The new discovery was made on the Mainimala River, and it is in a con venient position for cheap water trans port, should it be developed commercially.
This deposit is not of such good quality as the Tailevu marble, being bluey-grey in colour, with white veins. However, should there be a demand for decorative marble, or marble for sanitary appli ances, it should be worth development.
It is also reported that another dis covery of marble has been made in the Nadi district. This, however, is incon veniently situated as regards transport.
