BARKHAMsTED's QUARRY.

Soapstone Emery and Pipe Clay Have
| Been Discovered and are Being Mined.
| On the east side of the Pennington
| River. about one-half mile above the
! bridge at Pleasant Valley (I3arkham-
sted). is a farm owned by Anthony
Badore, who is employed by the Green
woods Company of New Hartford.
About year ago Howard Eggleston, a
resident of Pleasant Valley. saw Otis
| f, Gillette, the Winsted monumental
| worker, and told him he believed there
| were signs of a valuable deposit of soap
stone on the Badore farm, and wanted
him to go down and see it. Mr., Gillette
did not go, however, until last spring
| The more they investigated the more
they became convinced that a valuable
discovery had been made.
Specimens We're sent away, Professor
Glroy of the United States Geological
Survey examined it, Instruments were
used and all pronounced it a rich quarry
of serpentine soapstone, which is q
much finer grade than the white soap
stone and is as valuable as some kinds
| of marble
Messrs Gillette and Egglestoue kept
sion. Traces of emery was discovered,
and a very fine quality of clay suitable
for manufacturing clay pipes etc, Is
found just above the soapstone. A num-
Der of men have been employed during
the past few months, and with the lad
of dynamite have been unearthing it
many spots. 1t was found there was an
almost inexhaustible supply. About 200
tons have already been uncovered. The
stone is found to tilt at an angle of
about 35 degrees
Tuesday night Messrs. Gillette and
Egglestone closed q bargain with Mr..
Badore, buying the privilege to quarry
soapstone and emery on eighteen acres
of his farm. One firm in Boston pro-
nounces the stone a fine quality and
state they can use all Messrs. Gillette
and Eggleston can produce.
The stone is suitable for use In the
manufacture of paper all kinds of set
tubs, fire brick and thousand and one
things.
The owners propose to develop the
quarry as rapidly as possible TIL v will
put up derricks this fall and continue
unearthing the deposit and next spring
will put in engines drilling machines
crushers, etc.
The discovery is likely to boom Pleas
ant Valley. Upwards Of 500 people have
visited the farm this week and a keen
interest is felt in the opening up Of this
quarry by New Hartford res dents The
stone will be loaded on the cars at that
point, and fortunately it is down grade
all the way, so that two or three tons
can be easily hauled by one team at a |
time.

SUPREME COURT LIBRARY.

The changes in the Supreme court
the books are being put back upon the

been removed from the main s.oor to the
gallery and the hooks III the gallery
are being brought down where they will
be more accessible. BY this change the
shelf room of the library has been in
creased $50 feet and much gained in con
venicnce and accessibility. Besides. the
library is now lighter and better vcntil-
ated. While alterations are being made
it is probable also that the wooden stair
way. which now takes up SO much room,
will be taken out and small, spiral
staircase of iron put in. This would
be an immense Improvement and the
change would cost only 5000. The
wooden staircase takes up some 10 feet
Of floor space. while the proposed iron
one would take up only about feet.
This change. however, has not yet been
definitely decided upon.
The immense weight of the books III
this library is causing its foundations
to give way. This is not in the main
walls. however. but beneath wooden
posts under the sils of the floor. These
will be replaced by iron posts placed on
solid stone foundations.

structed and will sooner or later have to
