A force of ten men Is now engaged
in getting out stone and they take
out, daily, about 2 car loads, which
is transported to the railroad by ].
McMillen with three 6-horse teams.
During the past week teams have
been freighting and a number of
men have been at work getting the
new machinery into position ready
for operation. One derrick Ia being
put up which is 81 feet high and
will hoist a block Of stone weighing
10000 pounds. As SOC as the ma
chinery 10 all In place 1t is the in
tention to give employment to rs
men, and quarry stone sufficient for
loading two cars every day.
The proprietors Of the quarry are
anxious to see the spur put in as
soon as possible, as the 81 foot der
rick will hoist a car load of stone
In n block. and as builders and
masons want the stone in as large
pieces as they can, 1t will give much
better satisfaction than breaking It
into small pieces, which is necessary
while freighting 1t with teams.
Mr.. Knox, of the Knox Patent
Blasting Machine company, vas in
town Wednesday and went on to
Salt Lake. He will return and meet
Mr.. Holmes here on the 29th, when
he will give an exhibition Of quarry
ing stone with electricity. 1t is
claimed that the machine does its
work in a rapid and excellent man
ner.
