New Quarry at Hall Quarry.


HALL QUARRY, April "a Especial The
granite paving industry here is likely to
boom to large proportions on account of
the introduction Of Q small-sized paving
block which the paving-cutters like to cut
as they earn large pay with easy work.
But the chief factor is the finding OF q
large formation Of splendid, fine-grained
granite, especially adapted for paving.
Practical men who know about the gran
ites of other sections of the country pro-
nounce this granite far ahead Of any OF
the fine-grained GRANTEES of other places,
being cleaner, clearer and easier to cut
into blocks, insuring the paving-cutter
large daily wages. Many of these men are
making s5 to ss per day, some more. This
will be Of great benefit to the village and
the community around, as it may bring
back the old times when 800 or more paw
ing cutters were employed here.
This formation of granite extends over
. wide territory, and there is enough in
sight to keep good many paving
cutters employed. The granite is now
being quarried, and when it's superiority
becomes known many workmen will
come to Hall Quarry. The granite lies in
sheets, is of light texture, keen and fast
under the hammer, the ideal granite for
the small size of paving block the modern
city now calls for. 1t is easily quarried,
being covered with just enough earth to
have kept it fresh and fine to work.
All the local paving-cutters are at work,
and there is demand for those from the
outside.

culture.
"The question naturally arises: Are we
prepared to supply more trade in farm
products il such should be directed to US!
Can we hope successfully to compete with
the large farmers of the West in the pro-
duction of grain and animal produce,
when our farms are SO much smaller than
theirs and our conditions are in many
cases not SO favorable? Finally, has
Maine real agricultural possibilities or is
the present talk sophistry?
"Maine has approximately 1000, 0OC
acres of land, divided into about $1,000
farms. On the average, the size of farm
is a little over 100 acres. OF this acreage
only two counties in the State have
more than forty acres per farm under
cultivation. Four counties have less than
twenty-five acres per farm under cultiva-
ton. OF this cultivated land only two
counties have on the average more than
ten acres per farm under the pillow, and
nine counties have less than eight acres
per farm under tillage.
These figures are alarming when we take
into account the thousands OF acres OF
arabic soil producing nothing but worth
less birch and alder. II fifty acres per
farm were brought under cultivation on
every farm in Maine, it would result in an
increased cultivation of one million acres
of land over what we are now tilling.
Under good system of rotation of crops
this increased area alone could produce
three times the oats produced by all

Laurium Department

cy pledged for the purchase of the
property.
She and her associates are vastly
enthusiastic about this project, but
many conservative people are appre-
hcnsive that they are rushing pellmen
into something the dimcul,ic Of which
they but vaguely appreciate. As
these doubling Thomases see the mat
ter, the raising of money to purchase
the property will be but a minor task
compared with raising the money to
keep 1t going. It will take a long
purse TO operate the Hotel Superior
through n Lake Superior winter. No
one has yet had the tcmerity to at
tempt the task. The work of rejuve-
nation that will be necessary at the
property after the purchase is COM
plcted will be an expensive one. Per-
haps Miss Wall has taken all these
things into her calculations, but the
doubling Thomases continue TO doubt.
However. there is no questioning
that Miss Wall is an enterprisng and
aggressive woman. She has. for better
or for worse, gotten the project for the
utilization of the Hotel Superior fur
Their along than perhaps any other
woman could have done, under the cir
