That part Of the fourth annual report
Of the state geologist, Prof G. Fl. Per-
kins, which has just been issued, relat-
ing to the growth Of the stone industry
in Vermont is of particular interest in
this vicinity, although the entire volume
is filled with facts. Prof. Perkins says
IN introductory: "The very large sums
of money invested in the mines, and es-
pecially quarries, of Vermont, is sufi
cient indication Of their Importance. For
twenty years the value Of the product
Of the quarries has steadily increased"
Let us see what that increase was
Taking 1880 as a starting point, the
total value that year Of the principal
products Of Vermont quarries was ST.
7572ss. in ten years the amount had
increased to SO, 1903 ,44a, more than doub-
led In the decade. In 1900 the yalua.
ton was s4,5l6,1o2, an increase Of more
than million dollars in the ten years.
But il that gain is gratifying, the re
port Of the two years from that date
TO 1902 must be very much more 50, be.
cause the gain was Sl,l00,00n, equal
to the whole increase for the ten years
just preceding. The state geologist
thinks that during 1903 there vas not
less than seven million dollars worth Of
stone quarried and sold If estimates
the amount Of money invested ii the
stone business to ~ si2 900 900 and
that there are 10000 persons employed
in connection with the same. These
figures are for the principal stone in-
dustries alone, not including soapstone,
limestone and sandstone for building
purposes.
Prof. Perkins has tried to get at the
exact facts in connection with the gran
tie industry, but was handicapped BY
the lack Of attention paid to his com
nuHications to the various companies.
He finds that there are 100 firms en-
gagged ii this business here, including
Montpelier, Mortified and Calais. and
that there are elsewhere about forty
more, bringing The total up to 200 Ell.
gagged in the granite industry. lie sent
queries to all Of these firms and received
replies from only fifty. On the replies
Of these he was compelled to make up
the estimates for the year: and he con.
cludes that there is invested ss.52s 900.
that 1864 men are employed and that
the total output amounts to the sum Of
s4,l67ooo. These figures may be taken
as conservative estimate, a. Prof.
Perkins Is not given to magnifying con-
ditions. The figures are, however. IA
he says, much larger than those given HI
the United States Geological Survey ii
Mineral Resources Of the United statesp
for 1902. Yet we are inclined to the
belief that even the figures Of the state
geologist may be set too low. In re.
spect to the number Of men employed,
it seems that the figures might be larger
and still be within the truth. 1t is
to be regretted that the concerns have
not taken more pains to assist the state
geologist in preparing his report, when
courteously requested to do 80.
But from the Incomplete returns and
from estimations from them IL is POS
sible to gain some idea Of the remark
able strides being made IN this industrial
awakening The stone industry, as
The Times has previously stated, IS
bound to be the making Of Vermont.
