A. Warner has secured 100 acres OF the best
quarry land yet discovered in town, and is
preparing to develop the industry to its
fullest extent. His land Is part OF the old
| Huntoon farm, in the eastern part of the
town, and some two miles from the village
The deposit of marble thereon is divided
| into three distinct quarries, each differing
| from the other in variety, and which may
be designated AZ follows: Quarry No. l.
dark; No. 2, variegated No. 3, light. A
blacksmith shop has already been built on
the property, derrick has been procured
and the quarries are to be pushed to their
fullest capacity. The No. quarry has been
leased to a prominent firm engaged in stone
work in this state, and it is expected gang
of men will soon be employed thereon. DR..
| Warner took a trip to Boston two weeks
ago, where the specimens Of marble shown
| by him proved of much interest to some of
| the leading architects and builders. A. j,
Bamfard the well.known real estate dealer
a No. % Court street, has been appointed
agent for the sale OF the stone in Boston and
vicinity, and is to try its qualities for build
ing purposes Immediately. He is about to
erect large eight-story block on the Boule-
ward at Brookline, just outside of Boston,
and will use Washington marble for the
first story. Other buildings will also be
erected by him in the city during the year,
and the contracts for the same have been
secured by DIR. Warner. Mr.. Bamfard has
been in business in Boston since 1867, deal
ing 10 real estate and mortgages, and has
one million dollars in trust funds invested
in first mortgages. His influence in secur-
ing place for Washington marble will be
worth much in developing the industry in
this community Dr. Warner is in earnest
in showing the superiority of Washington
marble as building and monumental stone
to parties abroad, and is demonstrating a
commendable public spirit in the matter.
The work he is doing now is that which
may we'll be considered as laying the
foundation for the future prosperity OF the
town Of Washington, and 1t behOoves every
citizen to aid the enterprise he has begun
by every means in his power. We are
glad to know that he has thus early secured
a number of commissions for monuments
and Is receiving much encouragement from
good judges OF monumental stone, all of
whom are delighted with the beauties of
the marble now being taken from his quarry.
