The Limestone territory Of Fremont aud
vicinity has never yet been developed to the
extent warranted by The facilities for ship
ment and the ready market for the product
of the quarries. Fremont White Lime is
known in both eastern and western markets
for its excellence and there is practically no
limit TO the demand for it at fair and paying
prices.
This winter however the new firm Of June
q Buckland are making preparations to erect
on their property early ne1tspring, three new
Perpetual Lime Kilns, Pages Patent. These,
with the one now..owned by the firm, will
turn out one thousand bushels of lime per
day. One OF them is TO be built beside the
one already erected and will be fed by the
same track and machinery. Two others Of
the same size and capacity are to be put up
near the quarries on Napoleon Street. Lime
in bulk will be furnished mostly from the
latter and barrelled lime from those near the
Depot.
These kilns are 10 be built of Albany Fire
Brick, and $1,000 will be used in their con-
struction, all of which have to be imported
from Albany.
The quarries which are being worked for
lime and building stone this winter are prac-
tically inexhaustible. They furnish the best
quality of stone for the manufacture of lime
aud very superior article of building stone.
Messrs. June 4 Buckland own the exclu-
sive right 10 build and use PAGE's PATENT
PERNANEEr LIME KILN in the counties of
Erie, Ssndusky, Ottawa aud Huron. This
kiln has the advantage of all others iu being
permanent, in the certainty of its operation
snd in the small amount of fuel required.
Parties using tie old-fashioned kilns cannot
compete in the market with lime burned in
the patent improved kilns and the proprietor
ship of this large territory in good lime
stone region gives our Fremont firm mon-
opoly of the business.
In connection with the manufacture of
lime Messrs. Juue 4 Buckland carry on a
large Slave and Barrel Factory in which they
make the barrels used in their own business
and supply the local market besides with all
kinds of work in that line.
The mandatory consumes 1000 cords of
timber per year. The s,ave timber is pur-
chased in blocks cut the proper length, and
after going through the steaming process is
cut into slaves at the rate Of Is. 900 per day.
The heading timber is brought in double
length, cut in two, sawed into boards of the
proper thickness and then rounded to the size
Of barrel head, trimmed and fitted all al
single operation in one machine. The engine
which drives this machinery is one of the
best stationary engines in The city, and is
about forty horse power.
Aside from this is building for storing
slaves, heading, and flushed work, and the
manufactOry where the material is worked
up into barrels ready for use. The entire es-
tablisbment gives direct employ ment tc about
ulty mcu, anu iuihtohcs an e1cellenI mkrKet
for all sorts of stave and barrel timber.
The senior members of the firm are Mr.
D. l.. June, for many years one of the leading
business men in the county, and Gen. R. p.
Buckland. The junior member., Mes.rs.
D. s. June and Il. B. Buckland, are both
young men of enterprise, energy and busi-
ness capacity, and will prove valuable help
in building up for the firm an enlarged busi-
ness and permanent prosperity.
