A dispatch received in Albany last

tbe Yaquina-San Francisco steamship
line, states that Pioueer stone bom the

Oregon stone stood the tests and was
considered the beat In competition
with stone from the quarries at Red
ding, Colusa and ln Colorado. About
12,000 to 15,000 tons of stone will be
used. Tbe price will be about $13 per
ton. Pioueer stone Is becoming popu
lar in San Francisco and Is declared to
be tbe best ever used In that city. As
the quarry at Pioueer is a very large
one, this promisee to become an impor-.
taut industry.
