Stone have been procured four miles east of EUicottville, but the 
earth from above has shpped down and filled up the quarries. 
Gregory's quarry, at the base of the hill rising west of EUicottville, 
on the road to Randolph, has been long opened, and has furnished 
most of the stone used in the village. There are some five or six feet 
of building and fire-stone. 
In the ravine a little farther west, a new quarry has been opened. 
A half mile south of Col. Hawley's in Great Valley, a cliff has been 
blasted off for several yards, but the stone were not found to be valua- 
ble. 
On the road leading to Ashford, from EUicottville, a mile and a half 
from the last named town, is a section of sandstone about twelve feet 
high. They are of the commonly quarried variety, olive and greyish. 
South of New- Albion, half a mile, are several quarries owned by Mr. 
Graham. The stone are of the same variety as the last ; some layers 
are slightly concretionary. 
Van Sickle's quarry was formerly worked in Little Valley, but the 
earth from above has buried it. Judge Leavenworth's residence was 
erected from stone procured there. 
Nutting's quarry in Napoh, and Woodford's in Randolph, have fur- 
nished many stone for underpinning. 
Davenport's in Conewango, and several in the vicinity of Rutledge, 
furnish the same thin olive grey sandstone, that is principally found 
throughout the middle and southern portions of the county. 
A mile south of Randolph, quarries of the same kind of stone have 
been opened. 
Two miles south of Leon Centre, upon Bailey's land, building stone 
have been quarried to a considerable extent. The sandstone are in- 
clining to coarse grained, and are the next in value to the Ischua stone. 
Others have been opened near Leon village. 
A mile and a half north of Leon Centre, a quarry in olive sandstone 
has been opened. A single layer only has been worked.
