Notes From Quarry and Shop.

Mr. Henry E. Sheldon, who has been connected with the Granite Railway Co., of Concord, N. H., and Quincy, Mass., for twenty-five years, for the latter nineteen years as general agent, recently tendered his resignation, on account of ill-health. The directors of the company refused to accept it; and instead voted a leave of absence of six months. Mr. Sheldon will spend his vacation in travel.

The monument in question is that erected to the memory of the late burgomaster of that city, M. Anspach, in the Place de Brouckere.

The nimbus of the saint is to be one sheet of electricity, and small incandescent lamps will mark out the figures of the saint and the dragon.

The Long Cove Granite quarry, St. George, Me., owned and operated by the Booth Bros. and Hurricane Isle Granite Company, was the scene of a gigantic blasting event, November 4. During the past few years rock in this quarry available for the cutters became scarce, and in casting about for a means to overcome the difficulty, Mr. Booth, one of the New York members of the concern, hit upon the scheme of excavating into the immense wall which forms the eastern end of the quarry, and by a single mine explosion to provide granite sufficient to last many months. Since December last there has been drilling into the mountain a tunnel fifty-six feet long. In this tunnel cells were constructed for the explosives. The work of building the tunnel was delayed by the foul air, for a match would not burn a few feet inside the entrance. The loading of the cells occupied two days. Five hundred and fifty kegs of powder and four tons of dynamite were placed in total darkness, for to use a light meant to many chances against the lives of the workmen. Charles Shuler, of Graniteville, Mo., an expert in big granite blasting, superintended the blasts. Scores of conspicuous granite men from New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and St. Louis, and 5,000 persons from all parts of Knox county gathered on the hillside. Mounted men closed all avenues of approach and warned all persons within a quarter of a mile to seek safety. James Smith, son of the superintendent of the Hurricane quarry, pressed an electric button and a puff of smoke was followed by the lifting, high in the air, of the huge bluff. One hundred thousand tons of the finest granite had been exposed, and crevices 200 feet long and 3 feet wide were seen in every direction. The shock was tremendous in one direction, but hardly perceptible toward Rockland. The explosion cost $3,000.

The Crafton Stone Company is branching out and have lately secured 330 acres more of stone land in the south part of the county for which $35,375 was paid by the company, making altogether about 1,500 acres owned or controlled by this company.

It pays to have your work from responsible concerns. Address Wm. C. Townsend & Co., or Townsend & Townsend.

An important business movement has recently been made which is of special interest to those who are in any way connected with the great slate industry. Messrs. John Galt & Sons, of New York, whose business in the sale of roofing slate is among the largest in the country, have, acquired an interest with him in the lease of the Bangor (Pa.) Excelsior Slate Co.'s quarry. It is one of the quarries that has been so largely developed within the past ten years and is now one of the largest producing quarries in the United States.

Dr. Watson, of Detroit, has a farm of excellent slate of Euphemia township, six miles from Bothwell, Ontario. While boring for gas, about three feet below the surface, Mr. Watson struck rock which turned out to be slate of a first-class variety. Mr. Watson is organizing a company, and the work of developing the bed will be commenced at once. The only other slate bed now being worked in Canada is near Richmond, Quebec.

The syndicate of capitalists represented by Mr. J. Summerfield Bull, of Baltimore, which was formed to acquire sole control of the Peach Bottom slate quarries in Pennsylvania, has closed a deal with Mr. Geo. H. Wysham, of Delta, Pa., for the output of the Atlantic Slate Company, of Delta, of which Mr. Wysham is president. Mr. Bull says that the success of the syndicate is now assured. It will be incorporated in all the states, the main office probably being located in either Philadelphia or Baltimore.

Minogue & Greer, Fair Haven, Vt., have shipped a carload of roofing slate to a point in South America, which will necessitate its being transported about 200 miles over the Andes mountains on pack mules.

"Our attention has been called to a custom and practice among certain individuals and corporations engaged in the quarrying and mining business which, to our minds, calls for the severest condemnation, and should be a ringing appeal to the legislature for relief, says the Birmingham, Ala., News. "It appears that certain mine and quarry operators deduct or detain out of the monthly wages of their employees every month 50 cents if a single man and $1 if a married man, for house rent, 50 cents or $1, as the case may be, for insurance, and like amounts for a physician and a school teacher. It also appears that the house-rent money is deducted and held back, whether the employee lives on the operator's property or not. If he owns the house in which he lives, or if he rents it from some one else, still he must pay the operator his monthly house rent. This seems to us to be extortion, pure and simple. In some instances the physician's or school teacher's fund each aggregate $600 or $800 a month. The operator employs a regular physician for $125 or $150 a month, and a school teacher for a like amount. We are not informed what disposition the operator makes of the funds, but we have no reason to believe that it is donated to any charitable cause. These are such gross outrages and impositions on the laboring man that we believe the legislature should in some way correct and remedy the evil."

The Stuart black granite quarry at Bocabec, N. B., is being opened up by Tayte, Meating & Co., St. George, to which place the stone is being taken to be finished. The rock takes a splendid surface, is easily quarried and makes very beautiful monumental work.

O. B. O'Bannon, Deer Lodge, Mont., has a marble quarry which promises to prove a valuable piece of property. He sent some samples to Helena. Speaking of these the Independent says: "Governor Rickards received two samples of native Montana marble from Deer Lodge yesterday. One block is pure white and the other mottled. Each has the surface highly polished. The marble is of excellent quality. The samples were added to the others that will be examined by the capitol building commission, whose duty it will be to select the material for the state building.

A new trap rock quarry, and one that promises to be among the best that have yet been discovered in that part of the state, has recently been found on the Tourtelotte land on East mountain, near Westfield, Mass. A stock company, with a capital of $20,000, has been formed for the purpose of working the plant, which is to be in running order by the first of next May. The stock has all been subscribed for, among the owners being a number of wealthy representative business and professional men of Westfield, and a number from Holyoke. The rock has been professionally tested and proved to be of the very best quality. The quarry is located within a few hundred feet of the Consolidated railroad branch, which connects Westfield with Holyoke. A spur is to be run from the main track into the quarry at once and some of the machinery is already ordered. The owner of the property, recognizing its value, would not sell to the corporation, but a long lease has been secured and everything now points to a favorable outcome of this new business.
