 slate rock from other quarries, both in this county and in Vermont. It 

 is the only establishment of the kind in the State. Their other mill

The Mettowee Red Slate Company operates a quarry of unfad- 

 ing green slate on lands of the Empire Slate Company, three miles 

 north of Middle Granville, and on the west of the Rutlaud & Wash- 

 ington railroad. It is in the town of Granville. The quarry is con-

 slate is a gray-green in color. 



Reel slate has been worked on the east side of the Pawlet river, 

 north of Middle Granville. The quarries are as yet small and not

On the Terence Crotty farm, one and three-quarters of a mile-

 are three openings in red slate. They have not been worked in four

The Allen Slate Quarry is about 50 rods north of Crotty 's, on 

 the west side of the road and near the Allen farm-house. It was

 is bright reel in color. When worked the percentage of waste was 

 said to be unusually small.
