to do the work of one hundred men
The shovel, which has its own car, cost
about ten thousand dollars aud the
- freight (rom the Kast to Houlton was
SltfUO. In order to get it to the quarry
it was necessary to have aboun two hnn-
drcd feet ol track laid and alter the car
has'travencd that distance the track ii
' Ukea up and rclaid. It is a slow and ex

be necessary to shift the track fifty times
before the immense- machine arrives at
its destination.
