Sand and Gravel. 



Nearly all the sand and gravel consumed in Buffalo is brought by boat 

 from the Canadian shore of lake Erie, near Point Abino. The dunes along 

 the American shore, from Michigan street to Stony Point, furnish a small 

 quantity, but it is not clean, and is difficult of access. Fox At Holloway, 

 extensive dealers in sand, estimate the amount taken from this source to be 

 approximately 5,000 cubic yards. The deposits at Pine hill have not yielded 

 much during the year. At Gowanda is a bank of sharp sand, especially 

 suited for mortar, which is controlled by the Buffalo Mortar and Fibre Co. 

 Some of the railroads have gravel banks from which they obtain ballast. The 

 following exhibit shows the approximate product for 1895:
