Il have always known that Uncle
81 Clone was a visionary chap but now
he is Dragging about their 500, 900 90
quarrits. Why, Uncle, your region is
now so full Of holes bered for testing
marble that the old time fishermen
complain that favorite trout streams
up there do not get their usual supply
of water because it all goes down thro

81.
