ROCK MEN LABOR IN
THE BIG CITY QUARRY.

George Mccarthy and his crew of
six men are busy taking rock from
the big quarry near Schreiner park
Last year 2400 yards of rock were
taken out and used locally or sold.
The rock lies in layers and shots are
made two or three times year to
open it up Next to granite the glass
rock is the best for road building.
This lies about Is feet down all ov-
er this country 1t makes an un-
equalled top dressing. Blue Lime
stone is next in quality and this is
used as the second layer on road
work. The brown limestone is the
softest and only fit for the bottom lay
err of the road. A blue shale exists
in great quantity at the quarry and
it makes good dressing but needs
rolling as soon as applied
The equipment at the quarry is
unique having been in use Is years.
The 20 h. p. gasoline engine-a zone
Iuneer"-is still giving good service.
1t was ditched a few years ago but
George dug it up and with little
work put it back in service.

swallowed a teaspoon of the liquid.

hurt showing how easily things are
swallowed without thinking Mr.
