expects to open the bank at a second point just north of the 

 present site, to facilitate loading. 



Casper Schwalbach, of 271 Averill avenue, owns what ia 

 known as the Pinnacle pit, located on the south side of the 

 Pinnacle hill, just east of South Clinton street. This pit, before 

 the opening of Cobb's hill pit, was the main source of supply 

 and is said to have furnished as high as 135 loads a day during 

 the busy season. A great variety of good sand is to be had 

 here. At the back this excavation is upward of 100 feet high. 

 It is worked on shares by John Schwalbach. Mr Schwalbach 

 has another pit on South Clinton street on the northern side of 

 the range, which is worked on shares by Frank Schwalbach. The 

 total output of Mr Schwalbach's pits for the past year was 7137 

 loads, 400 of which were used for road repairs in Henrietta. 

 The material is mainly used for sidewalks and street improve- 

 ment. 



On the Ellwanger and Barry tract, off from Rockingham street 

 and a little way from Meigs street, is a pit w T orked on shares by 

 Melvin A. Clark, of 413 Mt Vernon avenue. The material ranges 

 from coarse moldiug sand to gravel, the latter being the most 

 abundant. The total output for 1902 was 5193 loads, a large 

 part of which was drawn to the town of Henrietta for roads. 



In The continuation of the Pinnacle range west of the Genesee 

 are several pits. One on the Thurston road in the town of Gates 

 is owned by Mrs L. Cornelia Smith. It affords a good quality 

 of brick sand. Part of the output is used by Whitmore, Rauber 

 & Vicinus in their asphalt works located at the Western Wide- 

 waters. One fourth of a mile northwest in the town of Gates, 

 at the junction of the Hinchey and Chili roads, and 14 of a mile 

 west of the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg Railroad, is Haag 

 Bros.' pit, worked by Jacob Haag and son. The output for the 

 last year was about 700 yards. The Lincoln Park pit is located 

 on the Kellogg land tract on the Field road, between the main line 

 and a branch of the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg Railroad. 

 It is owned by Mr Thomas A. Smyth and is run under the busi- 

 ness name of Lincoln Park Sand Co., office 411 Beckley building. 

 The output of this bank is brick and plaster sand, of which 1811
