VERMONT FIRST IN GRANITE PRO
DUCTION.

Statistics regarding the output of Yer.
mont's mineral resources must be re-
vised. Vermont no longer stands second
in the production of granite in the Unit
cd States; Vermont now stands first.
Thus this little rugged state takes equal
rank in the production Of two of the
leading minerals, marble and granite.
With the splendid strides taken in the
Barre district, it was inevitable that
sooner or later Vermont would supplant
Massachusetts,, the leader in 1905, and
the accomplished change is announced by
the United States Geological Survey, as
win be noted in our news columns to-
day. Vermont advanced in 1907, while
Massachusetts, not only did not advance,
but actually fell behind its record Of
1906. The latter state is left far behind
Vermont in the output of monumental
granite, although it still ranks second to
the Green Mountain state. Likewise. it
is beaten out in the production of dressed
granite for building purposes, being only
above Vermont in shipping rough stock
for building purposes. Maine also ranks
above Vermont in this one particular.
Rumors of possible large contract
which may come to the building stone
branch of the Vermont granite industry
within short time tend to strengthen
the belief that Vermont not only will
maintain its recently acquired pre-emi-
nence In 1908, but that it will materially
secure its hold on the position Certainly
Barre is doing its part in the monu,
mental line toward continuing the state
in its first rank of granite producing
states. Hurrah for Vermont and her
granite!
