AN EXCELLENT QUARRY
The Xational stone quarry at Louis
ville of which Fred Brammer is the
superintendent, is one of the most in
teresting spots in and near the en
terprising little Platte river city and
is one of the best institutions of its
j.kind in this part of the west, l lie
quarry has one tunnel that is dug
back into the hills for a distance of
712 foot and from which a great deal
of rock has been quarried and placed
on the market while another of the
tunii'ds reaches a distance of some
GOO fct. While drilling back in the
tunnel 400 feet the workmen struck
a fine spring that is ice cold and
which has been piped so that it will
supply plenty of ice cold water for
the workmen.
During the quarrying at the Na
tional plant there has been a large
number of rare fossils uncovered that
were placed by the superintendent in
the ram of the state university to
aid in the tracing of the early forma
tions of this part of the globe. Dr.
Condra of the state university has
been a visitor at the quarry several
times and has been delighted with
