Richard Rind, Higliwoods. Works intermittently, just soudi 

 of Vedder & Hackett. 



Kelly & Hackett, Higliwoods. The bed here is 12 feet thick, 

 with 10 feet of shale and clay top. The top 3 feet of bed are 

 hard, while the bottom 9 feet are softer, but do not split so well. 

 The product is mainly curb, which is sold to James Maxwell at 

 Glasco. Four men are employed. The equipment consists of 

 steam boiler, centrifugal pump and steam drill, which has not 

 been used in the quarry as yet. 



Thomas Rafferty, Highwoods. The bed is rather rough here. 

 Two men are employed during the year. Edge stone forms the 

 product, which is sold to James Maxwell at Glasco. 



Riley Bros., Cockburn. Only 4 feet of the bed are being worked 

 here, owing to rough streaks in lower lifts. The shale top is 15 

 feet thick. The product is chiefly curb, which is hauled to 

 Glasco and sold to James Maxwell. 



William Lannigan, Highwoods. The bed is 14 feet thick, with 

 12 to 25 feet of shale top. The lifts vary from 14 inches to 4 

 feet. The product is sold to T. J. Dunn & Co. at Maiden. Eight 

 to nine men are employed throughout the year. The quarry is 

 equipped with horse power derrick and pump. 



Daniel Rafferty, Cockburn. Works on this same ledge inter- 

 mittently. 



Two quarries are worked on the ledge to the west and the 

 above described ledge. The bed is 11 feet thick, with the shale 

 top 15 to 20 feet thick. Rough streaks occur in the bed occa- 

 sionally. The stone is fine grained, reedy and of a good blue color, 

 and is easily worked. The lifts vary from 6 inches to 3 feet. 

 The side seams are smooth and regular, 3 to 10 feet apart. 

 Water is troublesome in a wet season. The product from the 

 two quarries is chiefly curbstone and is sold to Thomas J. Dunn 

 & Co. at Maiden. The following are the operators. 



Lawrence Kenney, Kingston. Employs eight to nine men 

 throughout the year. The equipment of the quarry consists of 

 horse power derrick and pump. 



Levi Carle, Cockburn. Two men are employed during the year. 

 A hand derrick is the equipment.
