 Brockport. — Two quarries are opened at this place. 



HoUey, Orleans County.— There are five quarries at Hol- 

 ley. Those of Downs & Gorman, Michael Slack, and 

 O'Brien & Co., Fletcher & Sons, and the Big Six Stone 

 Company are near the canal and the New York Central rail- 

 road. The beds lie nearly horizontal, and under a light 

 stripping of earth and boulders. The stone is of a light red 

 color and fine-grained. 



The output is largely in the form of blocks for street 

 paving, curbing, crosswalks and gutter-stone. 



Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse, and western cities, as far as 

 Kansas City, are markets. 



Hulberton, Orleans County.— This group of quarries is 

 west of the village, on the north side of the canal, stretching 

 along a distance of two and a half miles.* They are all 

 worked to a depth below the canal water-level, and pump- 

 ing is necessary to drain them. The stripping of drift- 

 earth does not exceed ten feet. Some of the beds are 

 thick, and blocks of large size are obtained. The stone is 

 mostly fine-grained, and light to dark-red in color. The 

 best quality is shipped for building stone. The greater part 

 of the product is split into paving blocks and crosswalks 

 and curbstone, which are shipped to Rochester, Buffalo and 

 western cities. 



Much of the Hulberton stone is sold under the name of 



* Sturaker & Sullivan, Thomas Lardner, R. O'Reilly, A. Squire, L. Cornell, C. Van 

 York, C. S. Gwyn, M. Scanlon, Hebner Brothers, George Hebner, E. Fairhen and 

 Ford have quarries here.
