his opinion as to the manner in which
the spring elections should be conduct
ed. He says: Although the general
election and the several local elections
and township meetings may occur Mt
the same time, and are conducted by
the same officers, the law does not re-
quire the general ticket to contain the
names of the local officers For the
state ticket the regulations OF the ballot
law must be followed as they were last
fall, and the tickets will by printed by
the secretary Of state. Township tick.

BrOWnS stone.

Last Saturday we paid visit to the
old Hurley brownstonc quarry, which
has been leased for term Of ycrs by
the Detroit Il Marquette Brownstonc
Co., q corporation composed princif nj
ly of Detroit capitalists.
AT the present time operations are
confined to testing the property with n
"shot drill" which is being operated by
Mr.. Thomas Craig, the object of the
company being to ascertain the value
and extent of the property before put
ting in plant to work it.
The property is admirably located ON
the shore of L'Anso bay about two
miles north OF this village The face
of the quarry is but few rods from the
shore. An old dock, built many years
ago by the late 7. L. Hurley, projects
into the bay about 800 feat, will &C ON.

are concerned the location is all that
could be desired.
Under Mr.. Hurlcy's administration
some sixteen years ago. considerable
work was done, and the quarry opened
up along the face of the bluff dis
lance of $50 feet; considerable stone
was taken out and sold, but on account
OF the fin lncial stringency Mr.. Hurley
found it difficult to put it on he market,
Mt a profit, and eventually abandoned
the enterprise through lack of capital.
Enough stone was taken out, however.
to establish the merit of the stone for
building purposes. One of the Queen
City's elegant church edifces is built Of
stone from this quarry.
The present company commenced
work on the porpcrty late last fall, too
late to accomplish much A channeler
was put in and several large blocks of
stone--about four feet cubes were cut
out OF the old face. These blocks show
rs fine brownstone as can bc found on
the peninsula aud are remarkably free
from faults, and OF uniform color.
This bed, SO far rs known, is $50 feet
long and twelve feet thick; but not salts

come so rank that many fields of wheat
will not be worth cutting. The weed
grows so much more rapidly than the
wheat that it chokes out the cereal
