  Bluestone 
  

  

  Bluestone 
  is 
  a 
  variety 
  of 
  sandstone, 
  which, 
  by 
  reason 
  of 
  its 
  even 
  tex- 
  

   ture 
  can 
  be 
  cut 
  or 
  sawed 
  into 
  any 
  desired 
  form 
  and 
  is 
  therefore 
  pecuHarly 
  

   available 
  for 
  house 
  trimmings 
  of 
  various 
  kinds. 
  In 
  general, 
  the 
  layers 
  in 
  

   the 
  quarries 
  vary 
  from 
  an 
  inch 
  to 
  several 
  feet 
  in 
  thickness 
  ; 
  the 
  thinner 
  of 
  

   these 
  are 
  used 
  for 
  flag 
  stones 
  and 
  the 
  thicker 
  are 
  cut 
  into 
  dimension 
  

   stone 
  for 
  building 
  purposes. 
  

  

  The 
  bluestone 
  industry 
  is 
  chiefly 
  located 
  in 
  Ulster 
  county 
  and 
  the 
  quarries 
  

   are 
  almost 
  innumerable 
  but 
  the 
  business 
  is 
  controlled 
  by 
  a 
  few 
  large 
  dealers 
  

   who 
  are 
  located 
  at 
  points 
  favorably 
  situated 
  for 
  shipment 
  and 
  who, 
  to 
  a 
  

   considerable 
  extent, 
  buy 
  stone 
  from 
  the 
  men 
  who 
  quarry 
  it. 
  Bluestone 
  

   is 
  also 
  produced 
  in 
  the 
  counties 
  of 
  Albany, 
  Greene, 
  Sullivan, 
  Delaware 
  

   and 
  Chenango 
  in 
  Eastern 
  New 
  York 
  and 
  in 
  Cattaraugus 
  and 
  Wyoming 
  

   counties 
  in 
  Western 
  New 
  York. 
  

  

  The 
  geological 
  horizon 
  of 
  the 
  commercial 
  bluestone 
  is 
  very 
  near 
  the 
  

   dividing 
  line 
  between 
  the 
  Hamilton 
  and 
  Portage 
  groups. 
  It 
  is, 
  however, 
  

   not 
  usually 
  possible 
  to 
  determine 
  in 
  which 
  of 
  these 
  groups 
  a 
  given 
  quarry 
  

   belongs 
  owing 
  to 
  the 
  great 
  scarcity 
  of 
  fossils.
