HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO THE
~-.. -... QUARRY.

There are many people in Wins
boro who have never seen the quarry.
They really do nat know what an in
teresting sight there is so near them
TIE News AND HERALD reporter was
there last week and was very muck
interested in viewing the immense de
posit Of granite there. At the time
we were there the superintendent, Mr.
J. J. Cain, was getting out some stone
to be delivered to the block-makers
along the line Of the track. This
track runs from Reckton to the Bun
drick quarry, a distance of seven or
eight miles. The woodward rock is
about four miles from Rockton and
about seven miles from Winnsbore.
The postoffice at this place is called
Rion, but the place is commonly known
as Rock City. The rock is gotten
from the quarry by means of derrick
or crane and is dropped Oh a fat car
they are put off along the track to the
paving block makers, who have their
several positions along the line. This
rock is drilled aud broken into smaller
pieces andthen in turn are broken still
smaller until they are down TO the re-
ouile dimension. 1t is wonderful
how straight and square they can be
broken by blow from e hammer in
the hands of skilled block-maSer.
This company ships annually from
200, Coo to 10000 blocks every year.
THY also ship large quantities OF
dim II ion stone and street curbiDg, do
all kinds of monumental word, and
work for inside finish of publicEbuild-
ings. They own eight miles of track,
locomotive, several hosting engines
and derricks and lot of polishing
machinery.
At present they have contract to
make the Calhoun monument for the
city Of Charleston. 1t will be 90 feet
high when finished.
Superintendent Cain showed US a
NINE blast whereby he estimates that
he lifted seven million cubic feet Of
stone at one explosion. The ledge is
as large as any ordinary hill and the
depth has net yet been determined.
The whole hill was lifted to depth of
twelve feet. The first arrangements
for this blast occupied four months.
A shaft or hole was made in the solid
rock about feet in diameter and about
90 feet deep. Then recess was made
under the walls of this we'll, as it were.
Six or eight holes were then drilled
outward leading in different directions.
These holes were filed with powder
and the recess filled with powder and
dynamite. The well, hole or shaft
was tightly packed with red clay, after
which the fuse was lighted and then
the earth seemed the heaVe. The en-
tire hill was found to be lifted to
depth Of twelve feet and now the stone
may be easily gotten out.
The place is dotted about with houses
and looks like a small town. The
mess hall is a large building where the
workman who have no families take
their meals.
While Mr.. Cain, the superintendent,
and Mr.. St. Amand, the manager,
never neglect their bu siness for a min-
ute, still they are always courteous
and polite to visitors, and a trip to
Rock City will be a pleasant and
profitable one.

and when opposite Mr.. Sam Simpsons
place jumped in the ditch and up on
The rock pavement. He crossed the
step at NcAaster s. Co.'s drug sore,
the hotel steps and T. II. ke'chin' g
steps. At the corner he slipped and
fell, sitting down rather hard on the
rocks. Then he skirtcd the market
door and went on the p>.vement again
at DR.. Aiken's Office The buggy was
jerked from the harness by coming in
contact with a tree, but was not ia
jured, only broke the cross-bar of the

pavement. The most amusing sight
was the photograph man dodging

c IS FOR GOLD.
The Yellow Metal Found in G
County, Oklahoma.
People Flock to the Fields from
All Quarters.
SPECIMENS ARE RICH.
A Mining Town to be Layed Out
in the Region.
SPECIMENS ARE RICH.

GUTHRIE, Ok, June 11.-For several
days rumors have been current that
gold had been discovered in paying
quantities on Doggy creek, some IA
miles southwest from ArapahOe, u
county. Last Friday TOmmie Bell
came to town and stated that some
very rich leads had been found; that
people were foclxing into the mineral
region from all points of the compass,
and that company had been formed
and was taking the precious metal out
in vast quantities. In less than two
hours several parties were equipped
and on the road to the fields.
Messrs. Lee Wells and Alex Han
shaw returned yesterday and reported
very rich fields and that hundreds of
men were on the ground stalking off
claims; that vein running from Cobb
creek in the Caddo country to the
head of Doggy, distance of 40 miles,
and ranging from to II miles wide,
had been discovered; that beyond ques-
ton there is gold in abundance. Messrs.
Wells and Hanshaw brought back
some specimens which have been test
ed by Mr.. Cramer, an experienced
miner and essayist, who reports the
very 14CA WIN P1OSAOAS AAOO
ais. The stra ia of gold is found on an
average of about feet below the sur
face, very easily gotten out. Several
mining companies are now in process
of organization and will apply for a
charter just as soon as the required
amount of capital is subscribed, which
is thought will be forthcoming by to-
day. A mining town has been laid out
and plated under the townsite law.
Reports say that people are coming in
and stalking out mining claims at the
rate Of 100 a day. Before another
week the entire mineral belt will be
covered with men and tools. Large
quantities of the ore has been sent off
to be analysed. If it proves to be as
rich as anticipated, it is thought that
the rush will be equal to that of Creed
and Cripple Creek. Several of our mer-
chants are now talking of starting
branch houses out there. tits thought
before another week a regular mining
town of several thousand inhabitants
will be in full blast. Late yesterday
evening, Messrs. Nicholas, Salyer and
| Ogi1by have returned and brought
! back several shot sacks of the ore.
They report fabulous finds, and that
the people are confident they have
struck one of the richest gold fields
ever found.

IN ARMOUR'S HOUSE.
Union and Non Union Men Fight
at His New Mansion.
Heads Bruised With Wrenches,

FIERCE FIGHT RACED.
n-Union Workmen Are Dis
charged and Trouble Settled.

the beautiful marble entrance to the

by P. D. Armour. Jr., at the southwest
corner of Thirty-seventh street and
Michigan avenue. A handful of non
union painters, who have been at work
in the interior of the building, was at
tackled yesterday afternoon by party
of union men, and a desperate conflict
ragged for fully five minutes. Finally,
when peace was restored, four non
union men were led away to neigh
boring drug store to have their broken
heads patched up. Two other men
were thrown down fight of stairs,
and both received severe cuts and
bruises. The police were not called to
the scene of the fracas and no arrests
were made.
The trouble arose because ten paint
ers not Endorsed by the Building Trades
council were working on the building.
The union men outnumbered their OPP
ponents and had all the best of the en-
counter. A terrible war was waged
for fully five minutes before the fore
man and others could induce the
participants to cease fighting. Ham
mers, wrenches and all sorts of
tools were used in the com bat,
and one after another of the men were
felled by the blows, only to bob up
again and renew the onslaught.
It was only when Foreman Jallis came
running up and waved the white flag
that the attack of the union men
ceased. He signed the agreement pre-
scented by the trades council and inn
mediately afterward discharged the
Objectionable men, ten in mum Der.
