short time ago sixteen horses took

able mill to be located on the May field
slate quarry land. Some forty years
ago, fine vein of slate was found on
the side Of a deep canyon near East
May field and a company formed to OPP
crate it. The only way to market the
product was to haul it thirty miles to
Skowhegan which was then the nearest
railway station For a time the nine
yielded good profit, but other quarries
were opened more accessible to shipping
points making profits less. The fine
quality of this slate rendering IL capable
of receiving and retaining coating Civ
ing it the appearance of marble, mill
was next built and expensive machinery
put in to saw the slate into desired pat
terms fer nantes, fire places, table tops,
and tiles which were sent to SkOwhegan
to be marbleized. This pIospered for
time, but fashion for this sort of thing
changed and together with the panic of
1874 thu company went TO pieces, many
losing heavily. Among the heavy losers
was Cove the peddIe who used to drive
four spirited dapple gray horses. From
that time until now 1t has lain neglected.
the mill rotted down, the machinery fell
to pieces and lay scattered about until
collected by dealer in junk about two
years ago. The deep cash that was cut
into the mountain side became choked
with bushes aud over tho cleared farm
sprang up growth of spruce and other
black growth which now becomes mer
charitable timber which this new COM
pany and mill is about to saw ont, esti
m ated at about two million feet. This
lumber will be- hauled to the Dead water
railroad station, a distance of five or six
miles and shipped to market. In the
spring If things work favorably 1t is the
int ention to again open the quarry and
push the work forward with improved
machinery.
