BUILDING STONE.

and less dense. It is well located above water on the south 
bank of Cedar creek, and can be taken out in blocks from one 
to four feet square. It is only two and one-half miles from 
the lake, and might be cheaply transported to Milwaukee, or 
other points along the shore. It weathers evenly and without 
discoloration; and for facing buildings, or for caps and sills, 
would be very cheap and excellent material. 
OZAUKEE. 
The only quarry of value at this place is about four miles 
north-west from town, and belongs to Mr. Crocker. It is a 
grey, or blue-grey, limestone, in some parts resembling the 
Grafton quarry stone, but harder and more crystalline. It is 
also thinner and in more regular beds, on the surfaces of which 
fucoids or fossil sea-weeds are seen. This stone also cuts well, 
quarries in good shape, and is likely to be extensively sought 
for as the demand for stone increases. 
SHEBOYGAN. 
The quarries near Sheboygan are in the upper coral beds of 
the Niagara. At the Falls, the limestone rises about 22 feet 
above the river, in thick, well-defined strata. It resembles the 
rock seen at Crocker's, last described, but is harder and dark¬ 
er colored. The lower layers are very compact, the middle 
more crystalline, and the upper softer and cavernous, by the 
decay of large corals, of which it is principally composed. Its 
cavities often contain calc spar and its fossils, which are dim 
but numerous, are usually crystalized. On Pigeon river a 
quarry has been opened, exhibiting a light grey crystalline 
limestone of even texture, weathering smoothly with a sandy 
surface. Lines of bedding, well defined but undulating, small 
cavities occasionally, numerous vertical joints, coarse grooves 
on the edge of the strata, and destitute of fossils. The top of 
the quarry is about 30 feet above the lake. This quarry yields 
beautiful white lime. On Lighthouse Point the same rock is
