The granite (specimen 140, a) is a biotite granite of medium-gray 
color with conspicuous black mica and fine even-grained texture 
(particles measuring up to one-tenth of an inch across) consisting, in 
descending order of abundance, of potash feldspar (microcline and 
orthoclase), smoky quartz, a little soda-lime feldspar (oligoclase), 
and biotite with accessory apatite. The biotite scales are generally 
parallel. This stone does not fit into any of the groups described on 
pages 73, 71. 
The quarry, opened in 1898, is 200 by 100 feet, and averages about 
G feet in depth. 
Rock structure, etc.: There is a marked flow structure, dipping in 
places 30° eastward, which gives the granite the appearance of a 
gneiss. The sheets are from 6 inches to 2 feet 6 inches thick, and 
dip up to 5°. A heading on the cast side strikes N. 10° E., and dips 
55° W. The rift is horizontal and grain vertical, trending east to 
west. A 12-inch thick basic dike, striking N. 50° E., forms the west 
side of quarry. Sap from 1 to 3 inches wide in upper sheets, but 
none 5 feet down. 
The plant consists of 3 derricks, 1 engine, and 1 polisher. 
Transportation: The nearest railroad is at Westbrook, 3^ miles
