rough streak 1 to 2 feet thick occurs in the center of the bed. 

 The stone is reedy and is split to 10" to 16" for safety. No

 ■quarry on ledge above Carty & Rourke's. The bed is very rough 

 and 3 to 4 feet thick. The stone is fine grained and good blue in 

 color. Two men are employed, not regularly. 



Martin Dunn, Veteran postoffice. This is an old quarry on 

 ledge above Carty & Rourke's and is badly blocked up with rub- 

 bish. The bed of stone is very rough and 5 to 6 feet thick, with 

 7 to 8 feet of rock top. It is fine grained and of good blue color.

 side seams and heads are quite regular. Streaks of shale appear 

 in the bed. Three men are employed throughout the year. The 

 product is sold to the Ulster bluestone co. at Maiden.
