- W2019708191 abstract "I. Introduction .—Early explorers in Natal mention the occurrence of marble along the lower course of the Umzimkulu river. Mr. C. L. Griesbach (Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. vol. xxvii. 1871, p. 56) described the position of this “ crystalline limestone of enormous thickness,” but could not determine its relation to the neightouring rocks. During his visit to the colony, that portion in which the marble is situated was entirely occupied by natives, and covered by dense bush; consequently exploration was difficult. Since then roads have been cut through the country, and numerous farmsteads have been built by the whites on the more fertile tracts of land. The settlers along the banks of the Umzimkulu have endeavoured to establish an industry in connexion with this marble, several limekilns and a small cement-fact0ry having been erected; and small shipments of the marble are occasionally sent to Durban, for building or statuary purposes. Still more systematic attempts might be made to develop this valuable marble, the only one known to exist in South Africa. II. Situation .—The area occupied by the marble is in the county of Alfred, the southernmost county of the colony of Natal. The Umzimkulu river, rising in the Drakensberg and flowing eastward, enters the Indian Ocean about 30 miles north of the southern boundary of Natal; about 7 miles from its mouth it is joined by the Umzimkuluana river. The marble area occurs in the two rivervalleys, and is about 16 square miles in extent. III. Physical Features of the Country .—Along" @default.
