Quarries shut down for winter.

Items from Bakerton.

The following items were sent us by a correspondent from Bakerton last week, but were not received until after the REGISTER had gone to press, owing to delayed trains:

The stone crusher at Keller, run by the Washington Building Lime Company, has shut down for the winter. A number of the hands were brought here and put to work. Mr. D. R. Houser, who was superintended at the crusher when running, has charge of the quarry here, with an increased number of hands. Bakerton will be lively now until Christmas.

A 95-horse power boiler has been ordered for use at the Ore Bank, about one mile from here.

Mr. S. W. Bratt says he does not mean to go quite so deep after water, as reported in last week’s paper. He says he prefers American water to drink, if it is possible for it to be found.

Two of Bakerton’s young men passed a few blows last Saturday night, but no blood was shed.
