THE GRANITE oUARRiEs.

Some OF the finest granite quarries in the
world are located near the village OF Blue
Hill. One OF the quarries, OF which there
are five. IL now furnishing the stone for
the post-ofiice at Harrisburg. Pa. At times
there are between 500 and GOO men en-
poyed. AT the present time there Gre
about 300.
SIGNS OF PROSPERITY.
One Of the unmistakable signs OF the
prosperity that these mines have brought
to the town OF Blue Hill Is the number OF
new buildings being erected. On all sides
building Is going on, and real estate has
advanced within the past two years from
20 TO 70 per cent. When this section shall
have been thoroughly prospected. aud cap
ital employed to develop 1t. we confidently
expect to see Blue Hill occupying a lead
ing position among mining districts, not
only OF the East, but Of the West as well

Since the litigation of the Trench pa

chasers have been after the Trench mill
site, which will be fortune in itself.
Marshall Brokaw returned last night
after an unsuccessful hunt for one A. G.
Hunter, formerly we'll known here as the
superintendent of the Aztec company,
1t seems that Hunter, who had paid a
stealthy visit to our city from Sonora,
needed some fine harness for his team and
bought (?) the same from Clark & Patton.
Instead of coming to time with payment,
he skipped out and is, up 10 date, so much
harness ahead. Brokaw had warrant
to arrest him for obtaining goods under
! false Lretenses, but Hunter chose a circuit
Gus route and "stole away" If"Ike"
goes for him again he will get him to a
moral certainty.
Hon. e. NJ. K. Paulison, register of the
United States land office, arrived by yes
terday's coach. He came to our city on
business connected with the land office,
and will be here dnring the week. He
will no doubt be pleased to give all infor-
nation deserved concerning land and
mining matters so far as pertains to his
office. Mr.. Paulisen is lawyer Of high
professional standing, and since his con-
nection with the lana department, has
given the most unqualified satisfaction.
He has uniform courtesy for all having
business with him.
Colonel James, superintendent of the
Esperanza, reports fine progress. The
shaft is down one hundred feet, and a drift
is being pushed to cut the vein. About
twenty or thirty feet will have to be driv-
en- before this point is reached. There are
three shafts at work About three feet
per day is accomplished.
The ledge on the mine is very large. At
the depth Of cighty-two feet, where the
shaft left the VEN, it was nine feet wide.
1t is thought this width will not be dimln-
ished at the one hundred foot cross cut.
The Colonel thinks the Esperanto prom
ising prospect.
