"Sandstone Industry" ("Amador Ledger," September 2, 1910, pp. 8) "Between forty and fifty men are to be given steady employment in this city by the lone Sandstone Company, which is to make Sacramento its permanent distributing point for alll (sic) places where it can market its product. The company is to have its works located temporarily on the sand lot just north of I street. It will be prepared to move to permanent quarters, however, when the Southern Pacific Company builds its new passenger depot upon the site. "The company owns five quarries of desirable building rock near lone, Amador county. From one of the quarries is obtained a pure white sandstone, which resembles closely the Cahen stone of France. It makes a handsome material for finishing a building. From another quarry is obtained red stone. Rock from this quarry was used in the construction of the California National Bank Building. The character of the stone is such that it is easily chiseled, and for an ornamental stone it is not surpassed. The rock is taken from the quarry in huge blocks, and almost any sized piece desired can be obtained. The company now has a seven ton piece at its works, which it proposes to exhibit at the State Fair. The demand for the stone has been heavy because of the great increase in building all over California. For this reason the company proposed to locate its works here. The rock will be shipped from the quarries to Sacramento in the rough, to be worked over and distributed in finished form."
