the hills, the stean whistle is heard, the
click of the miners tools, and all the busy
life Of quarry. We are at the celebrated
mines Of the Clough Stone Company, two
miles from Amherst, and thirty miles from
Cleveland.
THE QUARRIES.
AL is busy life here. Immense blocks
Of the pure " Amherst" are being lifted
from their beds, as easily as a child handles
its toy, as seen in the accompanying illus
tration, and placed upon cars, switch from
the railroad running into the quarry. The
steam derricks made light work Of handling
the great blocks, and the workmen know
exactly bow to poise them so that the
slightest touch Of the hand will move them.
1t reminds one Of the building Of the
Temple, SO easily does everything work,
and so little is said among the laborers.
Car load after car load is thus taken out
and sent on its way. In few days or
weeks this very stone forms a component
part Of some elegant block on our streets.
so rapid is our progression in this nineteenth
century Other cars are backed into the
quarry and loaded, and thus the work goes
on from day to day. We trow the quarry
men think little of the all important part
they are acting in the progress Of the age.
Our accompanying illustration, prepared
expressly for the Lind O,cner from photo
graphs and sketches, by Potter, of Elyria,
will give our readers an idea of the general
appearance Of the main quarry on working
day. The blocks Of stone are for a moment
at rest, and the quarrymen have suspended
labor to allow the picture to be taken. 1t
is momcntary hush in noisy world Of
work, clangor and industry.
In these days when our tumble-down
buildings are becoming a disgrace to the
city, as well as to our architects, it is well to
look into this matter Of stone, and see what
are its various properties, and whether it
will endure down through the centuries, or
sven through the short span Of ysars allotted

last year erected a magnificent pier, at a
cost of $4,000 where vessels of large ton
mage can anchor, and thus shipping is done
by rail or lake and canal, as the consignee
may choose, In this particular feature
these qua ries excel any others, and the
Company are thus enabled to gil large
orders for stone at short notice, thus reliev-
ing the contractors Of long and expensive
delays, so frequently suffered when the stone
for large buildings is not forthcoming when
ordered. A fine road, with an easy down
grade, extends from the quarries to the pier,
and the Company intend to erect tram
road 10 due season.
COLUMBIA AND INDEPENDENCE QUARRI rs.
This Company also has extensive quar-
ries at Columbia and Independence. The
Columbia stone is Of a richer color than the
Amherst. Specimens of it in this city are,
Of the Columbia stone, the new Insurance
Exchange, on LaSalIe street, and Of The
Amherst stone, the Drake Block, corner Of
Washington street and Wabash avenue
In regard to quality, both these varieties o.
stone are from the same vein as the Amhers
above described, and possess the same power
of non-disintegration, while the process O
mining it is the same. Two hundred and
thirty men are at the present time employed
in the quarries, and the Company viii mint
and ship upwards of 200, 900 fee. Of build
ing stone this season. The new hote
being erected on State street, in this city
by Potter Palmer, is from the AmbeTs
stone.
Before leaving this subject Of building
stone, it may be well to state tina. We
believe the day Of bad stone and tiimsy
buildings are drawing to close We have
seen the folly of erecting nIan-traps. when
the materials for permanent and enduring
structures are at hand. Let Us initiate The
ancients, who, if they were not - wise AZ
we in speed and invention, knew bow L
build, and but for their building well W
should now have forgotten them. 4 4a'

for our own lives. We should try TO build
as the old Egptian did, for the future ;
it not, as they did, for Postsrity, At least for
the next generation. But latterly men
hare preferred to build for day. M witness
our botch Of Court House and other dis
graceful buildings, erected yesterday, and
to-day in o. state of dissolution.
The Amherst Stone, kBown more gener-
ally as the Ohio LigltDrsb Stone, possesses
Inherent qualities that few other stone can
boast. L viii not disintegrate by the
action Of time and the natural elements, as
will many other grades. To prove this
assertion beyond cavil, we give the accom-
panyirg illustration, which shows portion
Of the ledge Of this quarry, which has been

tinually beat upon this particular point Of
the ledge, yet the most acute observation
fails to detect the slightest disintegration Of
the component particles Of the stone.
Aside from the slight discoloration caused
by the drainage from the bluff above, and
the natural MOSES that cover it, this stone.
although exposed to the weather for un-
known centuries, is in perfect state as any
stone from the bed Of the quarries.
This quarry has been visited by many
we'll geologists and men Of science
Prof Hall, the geologist of New York
State, particularly observed the above facts
on recent visit, and considered it the best
proof Of the enduring qualities Of the stone.
Other geologists lave observed the same
points.
CHANNELING MACHINE.
In our engraving Of the main quarry will
be seen curious looking machine, standing
upon the ledge of rock in the middle dis
lance. This is machine invented and pat
tented by B. Clough, Esq, for cutting out
the stone. 1t is worked BY steam engine,
built as part Of it, and performs the labor
of half dozen men. 1t cuts perpendicu-
larly into the ledge. when by means Of the
derricks square block Of stone is raised
from its bed This machine is Of great
weight, and is used in the quarries Of this
Company exclusively.
GRINDsroNEs
But let us pass along to another part Of
the quarries. Here are piled hundreds upon
hundreds of tons Of grindstones, of all s1ss
and weights, from those used by the farmer
to grind his scythe, to the immense ones

and brought to the desired weight, rs easily
as the wood-worker turns broOmstick or q

and shipped them to all parts Of the world

cients with the trowel and derrick. Whether
the old Egyptians quarried the stones for
the pyramids or manufactured them from
sand, by means Of some process now buried
with their civilization. is a problem that
scientists will never solve. But it is yery
difficult to believe that anything except ma
tural granite would endure down through
the ages, and the opinion Is general thai the
stone from which these immense structures
are built was quarried and removed, by
means Of appliances unknown to us, to the
banks Of tbe Nile. The Sphinx would in
deed become mockery, with its great placid
face welcoming the traveller across the
desert. if we thought its compost parts were
but a solution Of chemicals, instead Of the
everlasting rock.
The marvellous and beautiful blocks
Of variegated marble which the traveller
finds among the ruins Of Pompeii, SO per
fectly cut that the square of the modern
fails to detect any imperfectiOn in the square
OF the ancient, go to show that the quarying
Of stone was brought to great perfection
long before Nero drove bis golden chariots
to the Circus Maximus. Aud the mighty
remains of the great temple of Pestum,
whose large blocks of marble and porphyry,
now ivy-grown and gray with the sea air Of
centuries, tell US that there were once a
people who knew how to quarry stone
from the bills, and erect it into temples
more beautiful and symmetrical than
Solomon's.
Later down the ladder of time, and we
find the old Florentines quarrying stone to
build the palaces and churches Of their
delightful city on the Arno There still
.enslps. i1ussa Imhsnse blocks Of granite,
one of which was evidently removed few
yards from its original bed, but which was
Of such immense weight that it was never
carried further. The Pitt Palace, the
Palazio Vecchio, and several other strue-
turcs in that city, where Michael Angelo
was born, are evidences that Lorenzo the
Magnificent did not neglect to study well
the art of stone-cutting.
We might continue indefinitely this emu
meration Of instances in the Old World,
where stone quarrying has been an impor
tant part Of national wealth and national
character, but our limited space will not per-
NIT. Our present object is to inform our
readers in regard TO the all-important mat
ter Of building stone, where it comes from,
and how it is obtained.
