The Detroit Graphite company.
which owns extensive quarries near
L'Anse, will probably resume work
this season, arrangements hav-
ing been partially perfected for
the marketing Of the product.
The principal graphite quarries
of this country are located
in the vicinity of Brandon, VT,
but the best plulnbago produced
anywhere comes from the mines of
Siberia. which are far distant from
railroads and are gradually becom-
ing exhausted. The Baraga county
graphite is superior article, when
properly dressed, and is suitable
not only for stove polish and
lubricating purposes, but also for
the finer grades of pencil
work. There are a half dozen
or more known deposits in the
county, of which two have
been more or less worked. With
vigorous management there seems
no reason why the quarries cannot
be steadily wrought at handsome
profit to thelowners and greatly to
the benefit of the people of the
county.-Detroit Evening Journal
