MIR. EDITOR -


One day last week I took stroll on Staten
Island, aud happened to stumble on the Granite
Village, ESQ called) small settlement built ~ BY
the Staten Island Granite Company, an incorpo-
rated concern for the working Of an inexhausrb.
quarry OF perhaps the best granite in the world.


The Company, understand, is now in a situa.
ton to answer all demands that may be made on
them for granite, and at price that must, i'll a
llu,e while, make the stock desirable investment.


The wharf, that in this city would cost al least
1000, is very commodious. and vessels drawing
from II to 10 eet water can load at amy season OF
the year, and at any time OF tide. From the wharf
to the quarry, the distance is about mile, laid
with capital L rail, with slight descent to-
wards the water that 1t requires but little force
10 move almost any quantity OF granite. | hear
there has been expended abou. 800, 600, or S335i
per share on 5000 shares, and.it seems To me thai
such concern, within seven miles of this great
city, cannot be otherwise than Il money making
sfair 1t is said. that by actual survey, there is
fifty million tons stone TO this formation before
artificial means will be wanted TO drain any water
that would interfere in the working of the quarry.
