THE MINING AND QUARRY INDUSTRY I915 



57 



Marble showed a drop of nearly 50 per cent which was dis- 

 tributed nearly proportionately between building and monumental 

 stone. The active quarries were in the Gouverneur district and in 

 Dutchess county. 



The production of sandstone continued to decline as it has done 

 for several years past. The depression affected the bluestone in- 

 dustry more especially, which supplies stone for street work. The 

 Medina district fairly held its own. 



The quarrying of trap was influenced by conditions other than 

 those of supply and demand. The quarries along the face of the 

 Hudson Palisades have been in process of condemnation, and it is 

 expected their operations will be definitely terminated before long, 

 while some properties have already been closed. 



The production of the different kinds of stone for the last three 

 years is shown in the accompanying tables.
