ious points of interest en-route.
The first stop was made at Bennett
and Grannell's stone aaarries, where
the party alighted and inspected the
workings of the new plant which are
assuming immense proportions. Ono
hundred men are now employed in
these quarries, and u line Of track Is
being land along the face Of the rock
which crops out heavily near the top
OF the hill, these tracks being extend
ed for over mile following this OUT
crop.

ped for considerable time at Green
and Flemings sand producing plant,
where the novel sight was presented.
OF rock being crushed into sand which
Is marketed for building purposes.
The product is run directly from the
machinery into the cars which carry
it away, and the process interested
the visitors more than any other
thing in connection with the manu-
featuring interests along the line.
At divers mills everybody had
drink from the remarkably cool spring
which has made spgt famous locally.
The mills and vicinity are alive with
men and teams, over one-hundred
hands being employed BY Mr.. Oliver.
The teams hauling strings OF logs
down the almost perpendicular hill
sides excited the wonder of those
present. The agility Of horses eithee
climbing up or down these steep slider
appearing almost impossible until the
feat itself was accomplished.
At the foot OF the stairs, on the re-
turn trip, which ascends 10 Walnut
street, the train stopped 20 allow
some passengers TO get of. Dr.. d. b

at this point, proposed vive voce
