with the stone. The dip of the ledge is to the south and west. 

 The stone is light blue and fine grained. Some reeds are 

 present. The product is chiefly flag, as the lifts are light. The 

 stone is sold at Saugerties to various dealers. Two men are 

 employed throughout the year. 



Albert Doyle, West Saugerties. Two men are employed in 

 quarrying on the same ledge as Doyle & Clove, just south. 



Oliver Holden, West Saugerties. The bed of stone is 15 feet 

 thick, but on account of rough streaks there is a large amount of 

 waste. 15 feet of shale cover the bed. The stone is of 

 medium grain, fair blue color and reedy. This ledge has been 

 opened for 250 feet in a north and south direction. The dip is 

 to the west and south. The product is sold to the Hudson river 

 bluestone co. at Saugerties. Four to five men are employed 

 during the year. 



Lawrence Wolven, West Saugerties. This quarry is on the 

 same ledge as Holden's, but south. The bed is but 4 feet thick 

 here, with 10 to 12 feet of shale top. The bed is badly broken 

 up, but the stone is of the same character as Holden's. The 

 joints are open 3" to 4". Two men are employed the year round.
