Quarried stone. The St. Lawrence limestone in Judsoii has been worked 

 at several places. On land of Mrs. G. W. Wolf it is quarried both at the 

 south and north sides of a small lake which is close northeast of her house 

 (Judson post-office); and also about sixty rods farther southeast. Work 

 was begun here fifteen years ago; and sales have averaged about a hundred 

 cords yearly. Only rough stone of small dimension is obtained, bringing 

 from $2 to $4 per cord. At C. G. Swanson's quarry, a half mile southeast 

 from the foregoing, the excavation is twenty rods long and exposes a ver- 

 tical thickness of four or five feet. The sales at present are about twenty- 

 five cords annually, at $2.50 to $3 per cord. John Goodwin's quarry, about 

 a half mile farther southeast, has not been worked during the last five years. 



The Shakopee limestone is much quarried in Blue Earth county. It
