The Granite Industry = One of the
Worlds Greatest Ouarries.

The Granite Industry = One of the
Worlds Greatest Quarries.
Stonington is what, prior to 1893, used
to be Green's Landing, formerly named
for Its early settlers family of Greens,
who used to do considerable business
here in fishing. They grew up here
when the place was small, and have died
and scattered. Later the Thuriow family
did large business in fishing here until
along in the sos when the granite boom
struck, and like all old settlers some of
them foretold that It wouldn't last, and
that they could handle all of the stone
sold from here in vessels yawl boat.
Probably up to date stone enough has
gone out Of this port to sink more ves-
sells than the early settlers ever saw in
lifetime. In late years as many as thirty
eight large three-masters have been In the
harbor at once; each could carry away
say 600 to 700 tons. Now about fifteen
big cargoes go from here every week.
The John l.. Goss quarry will soon be
able to load 1000 tons OF granite day for
any length of time.
The pioneer company In the granite
business is John L. Goss. His predeces-
sors were his father and relatives. Mr..
Goes learned the business from the very
coming along the line as tool sharpener,
stone cutter, foreman, then as partner.
During this era, Mr.. Gloss probably
experienced the greatest strain on his
ability, for 1t was period of business
relapse following war times, when every
thing was unstrung. He took hold OF
the heavy end OF a business that, as he
says, was going into the hole. In few
years under his management the busi-
ness got back on its feet, when he as
sumed ownership of all of the business
of the company, and has since conducted
1t ip his own name.
Mr.. Goss has lived to see the business
outgrow the kind Of competition that
bankrupted competitors, but he held on,
and to-day is considered one Of Americas
heaviest stone contractors. His quarry
has created the need of many valuable
Inventions. His derricks and running
gear are unlike any anywhere else. Many
parts of the massive iron-work are
patented, and are made only at the Cam
den iron foundry.
The M. g. Ryan Co. has adopted the
kind Of gear used here.
Mr.. Goss is now developing section of
his Crotch island quarry that will make
1t larger than any other quarry in the
world.
1t is a fact, little realized, that right
here, under the noses OF our Hancock
county people, along with the growing
and renowned Mt. Desert Island summer
visitor business, built up by the Maine
Central railroad, is also by far the largest
granite producing section on the globe.
The NJ. g. Ryan Co. has tapped and
opened stone quarrying plant which
at once took first place in productive
capacity. Mr.. Goss will soon be abreast
as to capacity. The Ryan & Parker Co.
is also operating on Crotch island
where Goss & Small used to work.
Paving and rough stone are the principal
products, labor trouble having killed of
all the cutting which might we'll have
been done here.
