4 granite quarry has been partially
opened just in the edge Of the town Of
Pittsfeld, between the Blodgett farm and
the farm owned by Carl Martin. The
ledge which shows above the surface is
about p rods long and the company con-
trolls a strip Of land 200 rods wide, but
granite shows in several other places.
Work has been going on there for several
weeks. Drilling and blasting have been
employed and some Of the rock taken out
about 20 feet below the surface and has
been sent away for inspection. Should
these samples prove to be first grade, it i
probable that the rock farther down is
still better and the work will be pursued
in the spring when the quarry will be
opened in earnest.
