STATE BOARD TO- /,
OPEN NEW QUARRY
RECENTLY PURCHASED TRACT
OF LAND IN NORTHWEST
CORNER LYONS COUNTY.

Des Moines, May 12.-The state
board of control is planning on open
ing up stone quarries on the tract OF
land in the northwest corner of Lyon
county recently purchased by the
board Col. J. H. McConlogue, Warren
G. G. McLaughry OF Anamosa, Prof.
Thomas H. Macdonald, state highway
engineer, together with two railroad
and the Rock Island railroads, will
visit the tract and look it over. The
officials will also go over to Sioux
Falls, which is only about ten miles
from the Lyon county deposit, and in
spect the quarries there and the meth
DDS used in handling the rock.
There Is big outcropping Of the
rock on the board Of control tract in
Lyon county which can be stripped
at comparatively low expense. 1t is
thought that work can proceed right
through the winter If a tunnel is blast
ed out underground There is a big
demand for this rock, commonly
known as Sioux Falls granite, as 1t is
especially hard and highly desirable
in paving work. 1t is also capable Of
taking high polish and can be used
in building operations. The board ex-
poets to sell the rock all through this
state provided the freight rates are
not too high. Convict labor will be
used at the quarry.
The board will be required to put
in considerable machinery and to
erect some cheap buildings at the
quarries. Spur tracks will probably
be put in by both the Illinois Central
and the Rock Island railroads without
expense to the state. Inasmuch as
there is such demand for this hard
rock for building purposes and espec-
tally for paving the board believes II
can carry on an extensive business
at good profits to the state
