  Report 
  on 
  the 
  State 
  Museum. 
  

  

  the 
  stone 
  is 
  drawn 
  from 
  the 
  kilns 
  and 
  trammed 
  to 
  the 
  mills, 
  

   ground 
  and 
  barrelled. 
  It 
  is 
  then 
  taken 
  to 
  stock-houses 
  and 
  is 
  

   ready 
  for 
  shipment. 
  

  

  Practically 
  the 
  cement 
  beds 
  of 
  Ulster 
  county 
  seem 
  inexhausti- 
  

   ble, 
  and 
  from 
  their 
  favorable 
  location 
  and 
  facilities 
  for 
  handling 
  

   and 
  shipment 
  it 
  would 
  appear 
  that 
  no 
  locality 
  can 
  expect 
  to 
  make 
  

   natural 
  cement 
  more 
  cheaply. 
  

  

  There 
  have 
  been 
  several 
  attempts 
  to 
  manufacture 
  Portland 
  

   cement 
  here, 
  but 
  none 
  have 
  succeeded 
  in 
  producing 
  it 
  cheaply 
  

   enough 
  to 
  compete 
  with 
  the 
  natural 
  cement, 
  though 
  it 
  was 
  

   superior 
  in 
  quality. 
  Mr. 
  S. 
  D. 
  Coykendal, 
  who 
  is 
  largely 
  

   interested 
  in 
  the 
  New 
  York 
  and 
  Rosendale 
  Cement 
  Company, 
  

   informed 
  me 
  that 
  after 
  the 
  expenditure 
  of 
  '$50,000 
  in 
  the 
  attempt 
  

   he 
  had 
  come 
  to 
  the 
  conclusion 
  that 
  Portland 
  cement 
  could 
  not 
  be 
  

   made 
  to 
  compete 
  with 
  the 
  Rosendale. 
  

  

  Blue 
  Stone. 
  

  

  The 
  range 
  of 
  the 
  workable 
  blue 
  stone 
  extends 
  from 
  Albany 
  

   county 
  through 
  Greene, 
  Ulster, 
  Delaware 
  and 
  Sullivan 
  counties, 
  

   New 
  York, 
  into 
  New 
  Jersey 
  and 
  Pennsylvania. 
  In 
  New 
  York 
  

   State 
  Ulster 
  county 
  is 
  by 
  far 
  the 
  largest 
  producer. 
  Quarried 
  over 
  

   a 
  large 
  area 
  the 
  stone 
  is 
  concentrated 
  at 
  the 
  tide 
  water 
  shipping 
  

   points 
  on 
  the 
  Hudson 
  river, 
  at 
  Maiden, 
  Saugerties, 
  Glasco, 
  East 
  

   Kingston, 
  Rondout 
  and 
  Wilbur. 
  

  

  The 
  product 
  reaches 
  these 
  points 
  in 
  three 
  ways. 
  First, 
  a 
  small 
  

   proportion 
  is 
  delivered 
  to 
  the 
  Delaware 
  and 
  Hudson 
  canal 
  above 
  

   High 
  Falls; 
  second, 
  it 
  is 
  hauled 
  by 
  wagon 
  to 
  Wilbur, 
  Rondout, 
  

   Kingston 
  and 
  East 
  Kingston, 
  Glasco, 
  Saugerties 
  and 
  Maiden 
  ; 
  

   third, 
  a 
  large 
  per 
  cent 
  of 
  the 
  total 
  is 
  delivered 
  at 
  Rondout 
  by 
  the 
  

   Ulster 
  and 
  Delaware 
  railroad, 
  in 
  the 
  township 
  of 
  Saugerties 
  

   the 
  quarrying 
  industry 
  centers 
  at 
  Quarryville, 
  West 
  Saugerties 
  

   and 
  High 
  Woods 
  ; 
  in 
  the 
  township 
  of 
  Kingston, 
  at 
  Dutch 
  Settle- 
  

   ment, 
  Hallihan 
  Hill, 
  Jockey 
  Hill, 
  Dutch 
  Hill, 
  and 
  Stony 
  Hollow 
  ; 
  

   in 
  Hurley 
  township, 
  Bristol 
  Hill, 
  Morgan 
  Hill, 
  Steenykill 
  and 
  

   West 
  Hurley 
  ; 
  in 
  Marbletown, 
  at 
  Woodstock, 
  Brodhead's 
  Bridge, 
  

   Shokan, 
  Boiceville, 
  Phoenicia, 
  Woodland 
  Hollow,

  Hollow, 
  

   Shandaken, 
  Pine 
  Hill, 
  Rochester, 
  Wawarsing, 
  and 
  near 
  Ellen- 
  

   ville 
  blue 
  stone 
  is 
  also 
  produced. 
  The 
  ranges 
  producing 
  the 
  blue 
  

   stone 
  may 
  be 
  roughly 
  divided 
  into 
  two 
  parts 
  : 
  first, 
  the 
  low 
  range
