This item appeared in the city dailies
last week:
The largest single piece Of granite ever started
in one blast at Quincy has been moved from its
original bed in Rogers quarry. II is - feet wide
~ feet thick and 20 feet long. The company has
been five years clearing the front of the stone,
which is of the finest quality
The Quincy quarrymen are referred to
this item from The Phoenix of last week /:
"The George f. Lyons company has
quarried single block of granite $50 feet
long, 80 feet wide and II feet thick" The
Lyons company were at work only a few
days in getting out this stone, and it is
doubtful if a finer piece of granite was ever
quarried at Quincy.
