tramp steamer, Livingston was as
signed to meet the vessel. After
spending several days on a tug out
side of Sandy Hook, he finally sight
ed the tramp late one afternoon, just
in time to get the photographs to his
office in time for publication the neXt
morning ii he met with no delay.
Running alongside the vessel, Liv-
ingston hailed the tramp's skipper,
only to learn, to his chagrin, that the
captain had no photographs or any
thing else for the, Herald; in fact, he
did not know that he was expected
to be the bearer of a letter or pic
lures. But he had a pouch of mail
from Martinique aboard, and in 1t
Livingston was convinced the prec-
ious pictures were buried. His ap-
peals to the skipper to open the
pouch were laughed at; and the time
within which the pictures could be
rushed to the Office for use in the
next mornings issuef was growing
dangerously short.
1T was a situation diScouraging
and hopeless, but Livingston's re
sources were by no means exhausted.
Racing against time, he ran his tug
into Sandy Hook and was able to
get into telephone communication
with a man high in the post office
service. Red tape was ruthlessly
slashed, and before the tramp steam
er reached the Quarantine station off
Staten Island, Livingston was again
alongside her and this time armed
with the authority of a post office in
spector. 1t was a matter of seconds
for him to open the mail pouch and
to race up the bay with the first pic
lures to reach New York of the de-
struction of st. Pierre.

A wv INDUSTRY
Company Formed to Cut and
Dress Our Native
Boulders.
Monuments and All Forms Of
Building Stone to Be
Treated.

OnCoteau street Wednesday morning
a crowd gathered to watch a new ma.
chine work. 1t consisted of big wagon,
on top of which was a gas engine Of
many horse power, with all kinds of
machinery unbeknown to the initiated.
The wagon was pulled up in front of
the building owned by Lang, the second
hand store man, where pile of boulders
had beer dumped off to be worked into
he foundations of his building, which is
being raised t.. grade. The workmen
tackled several of these boulders with
their machinery, drilled holes in them
by compressed air, put in plugs, gave
several laps with a sledge and the big
rocks parted on an even line, without
any apparent work or effort on the part
of the workmen, and were carted to the
| masons putting in the foundation. Ii
was SO easy to splita rock and square
it for the foundation in short time
that the crowd was duly impressed. 1t
was only test of the machine, which
has just arrived to be put in use on the
hills surrounding Pierre, where many
big boulders repose untouched for CEN
! turtles. 1t is the plan of company
,snow organized, consisting of G. j. Midi.
SOM a contractor of Pierre, the Williams
I Bros. of Sioux Falls, and l.. A. Stevens,
of the same city, to put in plant here
for the purpose of working into build
ing material, monuments, ETC., the i'm,
mense bould-rs now lying al! over the
hills about the city. They have all the
machinery on the ground for breaking
up, squaring, polishing and otherwise
utilizing this stone for foundations,
walls, monuments, and every other pur
pose for which stone can be used. They
will erect at once building to be forty
by sixty feet in dimensions, in the bust
ness part Of town, where this stone
will be treated for every use designed,
with complete machinery for every pur.
pose. This rock breaking machine has
been taken to location on the hills
north of town where it is now drilling,
cutting and squaring the big stone
found there. This appears to be an
Important enterprise for the city, which
will expand as the needs of our people
increase for this class of work. The
firm intends to supply all demands of
whatever nature for rough or ornamen-
stal stone work.
