At Blue Rock
A large force of workmen is engaged at the famous Blue Rock Quarries, along the line of the L. V. R. R., at present. They are stripping the stone and in a short time with the aid of another lately devised drill, will take out the rock in large quantities. This is converted into the celebrated Belgian paving blocks by experienced mechanics and shipped all over the country. Mr. Michael Murray, the genial superintendent of the work is pushing matters rapidly forward and promises before a great while to expose one of the most beautiful faces of rock in the country.
