The New Granite Quarries in Corn
vile.

Developments at the recently
opened quarries of the Skowhegan
Granite Co., on the l.. II. Bigelow
farm in Cornville indicate that the
conditions are even better than was
at first supposed. They have already
exposed a sheet of stone, free and
clear, over one hundred and fifty feet
long, from three to eight feet thick,
and almost snow white. Any size
stone could be quarried from this at
at the lowest cost, and they are now
taking out one to be laid in the en-
trance of the new j. P. Merrill block,
which weighs over seven tons. 1t
would be possible to quarry stone
from the Cornville quarry, 80 feet
long and eight feet square. Besides
the snow white stone already referred
to they have in the same quarry a
large area of the very finest pink
granite. This is said TO be the only
pink granite quarry in this section of
New England and the ability to
quarry either kind of stone as wanted
gives the Skowhegan Granite Com
pany great advantage over other
quarries of building and monumental
stones.
AS stated in previous issue, the
Skowhegan Granite Company have
leased a lot of land near the Shoe
Factory and are to build sheds and
erect derricks there at once. This is
on a spur track of the Maine Central,
a very essential consideration. for
this will permit the finished work,
intended for other localities, to be
derricked from the yard and sheds
directly to the cars. This firm has
installed, at their present location on
Madison avenue, new air compress
sor, from the Blaisdell Machine Com
pany of Bradford, Pa, which adds
greatly to their facilities for turning
out first class work rapidly and at the
lowest cost. They already have the
contract for the stone work of the
new J. P. Merrill block, the Griffin &
Sampson building and the Pennel
building. They plan TO ship rough
stock in large quantities and have
orders of this kind of stone coming
in right along.
This is the only granite firm doing
business in Skowhegan and 1t would
seem, with their special quarrying
and shipping facilities and their
up to-date equipment, they should
develop an extensive business and
give employment to large crew OF
skilled workmen.

The meeting for 1909 will be held
in Skowhegan on the first Thursday
after the meeting of the Maine Med
zeal Association. There were 16
physicians present.
By arrangements perfected at the
last meeting of the Maine Medical
Association, the county societies are
now component parts of the state
association. The relations between
the medical societies of the various
states of the union and the American
Medical Society are such that mem
bership in a county society makes a
practitioner eligible TO membership in
the national organization. This in
errelationship of the county, state
and national societies gives the med
zeal fraternity the most perfect or
ganization of its kind in the country,
and its members feel it ensures pro-
gress in medical research that would
otherwise be impossible.
