THE MINING AND QUARRY INDUSTRY 



957 



amounted in value to $75,419; rubble and riprap, amounting to 

 $22,230, and flagging and curbing amounting to $6253. I^ ad- 

 dition there were quarried miscellaneous materials, not classified 

 in the returns, with a combined value of $33,156. 



Of the crushed stone a total of 443,037 cubic yards valued at 

 $318,383 was reported as used for road material. These figures, 

 however, do not represent the whole amount employed for that pur- 

 pose, as many of the producers were unable to classify their output. 



The returns received show that Onondaga county has the largest 

 quarrying industry. The total product in 1904 amounted in value 

 to $344,817, and was reported by 15 companies. The manufacture 

 of lime is particularly important in the county, due mainly to 

 the operations of the Solvay Process Co. Erie county with 13 

 active quarries made an output valued at $295,722, consisting 

 principally of building and crushed stone. The value of the 

 production in Westchester county which ranked third in the list, 

 was $255,972, made by three companies. The other counties 

 that reported a value exceeding $100,000 were Genesee ($222,702), 

 Rockland ($194,154) and Ulster ($150,055).
