on 4 high hill overlooking North Jay
village is located the granite quarry of
senator w. A. Clark of Montana. and
from it is taken most of the stone
used in the building of his mansion
in Fifth avenue. New York City. The
Senator bought this quarry when he
was told by his contractor that the
owners of granite quarries had "ex-
pedited" the price of stone beyond the
amount he could afford to pay for 1t.
The dressed stone is transported to
Portland by rail. and the American
i Stone Company, with its crew of 1.5
cutters. takes it and finishes it. Each
piece is numbered, 50 that when it
arrives in New York it has only to be
fitted into place and cemented. The
shipment from Portland to New York
is by water. The company's force has
been working on this one contract
since January |, and it will take an
other year to finish the job.
