MINING WHITE! MARBLE. THE GREEN MOUNTAINS HONEY COMBED WITH QUARRIES. The Largest Opening In the World la In Vermont—The Diamond Drill Revolutionized the Industry. VERMONT furnishes more than sixty per cent, of the marble used in the United States for building purposes, and almost all that goes into graveyards and [public monuments, and the greater per cent, of the Vermont mar ble comes from Rutland County. The man who first discovered the possibili ties of the quarries in Rutland County traded an old horse for the property. The original owner had beoome dis gusted with the land, for nothing would grow on it, and he swapped a fortune for a decrepit nag which was dear at sls. The gold craze of '49 urged men to risk their lives and en dure the greatest hardships to find the yellow metal, and the marble craze in Vermont which followed tho discovery of the rich deposits of pure white marble oausod men to pour money into holes and sink fortunes in the ground. The Green Mountains are pook-marked with abandoned quarries, and the quest for the for tune whioh awaited a man at the bot tom of a rich marble quarry sent prospectors into New Hampshire and all along the backbone of the Qreon Mountain State. Until the diamond drill was invented prospecting for marble was almost always a matter of But tho faithful detective which boros its way into the earth's crust and brings back a piece of everything it touches placed marble-hunting in the list of exact sciences. Tho diamond drill is a cylinder of steel which has black diamonds fixed in the edge of its cut ting surface. The diamond-studded cylinder is driven into tho earth or outcropping stone, and as it twists its way farther into the crust it cuts out a oore which enables the prospector to judge of the quality of the marble, if the drill goes through marble, and the extent of the deposit. Sometimes, however, tho enthusiastic prospector and his moneyed men who are baok of the enterprise are sadly fooled by the diamond drill, for the drill might be bored in the direction of the layer and not through it. If the layer is thin, and the drill bored with the grain, tho core might indicate a thick deposit, and the truth would not be known until thousands of dollars had been spent in oponing the quarry. Over SIOO,OOO has been expended in opening a quarry beforo a single dol lar's worth of marketable stone was taken out. When all the tests show that tho marble is there, and enough of it to pay for the working, the top rock, usually of limestone, is first stripped off. Blasting powder and dynamite are employed in stripping the quarry, but the blasts are small, and the quarry men proceed carefully, for if the powdor should penetrate tho marble it would do serious damago. When tho top stone is cleared away and the top layer of marblo is exposed, channeling machines similar to those which aro at work in the rock cut of the sanitary canal are started. They are worked by steam or compressed air, and they travel back and forth, cutting tho marble into the widths required. Sometimes the diamond borer, or quick-acting diamond drill, is used to slice up the marble. It makes holes near together,- the holes being con nected by webs of marble. These borers revolve about 1500 times a minute and when tho mnrblo is not too hard work rapidly. When the channeling machines, or diamond borers, have cut the marblo into sliaes the stone is cut away at either end bo that the quarrymeu can got at the bottom of the layers that havo been cut. Then steam-drills bore holes into the bottom of the layer from eight inches to a foot apart. Iron or steel wodges are placed in theso bot tom holes and driven in until the whole block of marble is broken away | from its bed and lifted up. Some times blocks or strips forty to sixty feet long are thus cut out of the solid rock. The huge block is divided into blocks of the required size by boring holes and breaking it with iron wedges. If slabs or tiles are wanted the smaller blocks are taken to the saw and sawod into strips. Several strips are sawed at onoe. The saw is mado of steel strips without teeth. They play back and . • rth over the block and cut the stone by means of the sand and water which are continually fed under the metal strips. The marble quarries of Rutland lie in a valley and extend ever an area of only about half a mile square. The layers uncovered vary in thickness from two to ten feet. In this limited space the best marble is quarried, but marble is found over a large extent of Vermont, The farther south from Rutland the marble is the coarser grained it is. On the other hand, the marble found north of Rutland is finer-grained than the Rutland mar bles, but it is full of little cracks, so fine that they are not noticed in the quarry, but when the marble cutter or sawyer take! the block and begins to work npon it it flies into bits and acts like a piece of highly tempered steel which has been plunged into cold water when it is hot. Geologists say that in the remote ages Vermont was an arm of the sea, and that marble waß made of the remains of corals and shells which had been subjected to a great pressure and a high heat, and that, the reason tho marbles north of Rutland aro finer-grained and brittle is becauso the heat and pressure were greatest there. Marblo is quarried in New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, Tennessee, Georgia and Vermont. Large depos its are said to exist in certain West ern States, but they havo not beou de veloped. The largest single quarry Opening in the world is said to be in Proctor, Vt. Vermonters use machinery to com pote with Italy in quarrying marble. The beautiful marble of Carrara, Italy, is all quarried by hand, but tho [taliun quarrymen take more risks, for they do not hesitate to use powdor {or blasting tho marble itself. The oowder penetrates the marble, and ;hough it may not be notioed at first the black specks are sure to come to ;ho surface in a few years. The The Italian Government has tried to break the Italian stonecutter* of ttda ' bed habit, bat they persist in hanging onto primitive methods and doing what has been done in the 500 quar ries in the mountains around Carrara ever since gunpowder was used for , quarrying purposes. Tho Carrara quarrymen literally takes his life in his hands in many of the quarries, for he often is swung over the side of the marble precipice and "chug-ohuga". Tvith his hand drill suspended in mid-1 air. When this aerial quarryman hai , drilled his holes and loaded them with blasting powder, he is pulled out oi barm's way and the marble blook, ripped from its lofty bed by the blast, tumbles down the mountain side, I nometimes being shattered into frag ments. —Chicago Record.
