locations. At one time Roscoe
Leighton had a factory on Madison

ing manufactured harnesses in the
Smith Whittier block on Water street.
Iron ore was never mined in or
about Skowhegan but form known
as bog ore used to be taken out at
the foot of and on the easterly side
of Eaton Mountain. This is de-
post found wherever water, carry
ing quite proportion of iron in solu-
ton, has evaporated for a long per-
iod The late Levi Weston had at
one time d crow bar and some other
implements made from bog ore of
this origin.
Carriages were made by BENJAMIN
Foss, Valliere, Cayouette and others
at various points in town Still
earlier by Joseph Varney and Thomas

Slate used to be brought here from

in considerable quantities for ship
