HYDEvnLE.-The numerous quarries
near this village make it the center OF the
most extensive slate productions in the
United States. The shipments, already
largely exceeding those, from any other
point, are constantly increasing, and by
the opening of new quarries and the erec-
ton of new mills, they are destined to in
crease to an extent that will defy all
rivalry.
1t is expected that a boring machine
will soon be brought into use near the
village for the purpose of prospecting for
auarries. 1t cuts circle like the rim of
a wagon wheel, leaving the inner portion
undisturbed, and this outer circle can be
cut to the depth of hundreds of feet. AT
any depth, the. inner portion, or core, can
be cut off and lifted out, showing every
variety and quality of rock formation that
would exhibit itself by excavation and
quarrying. For few hundred dollars
development can be obtained, which,
without this process, would cost thous-
ands.
