THE SLATE CHUCK QUARRY,

From which the natives of the islands obtain the material for their

stone carvings, is situated on the east side of the mountain of that

name, on the west bank of Klickadoo River, about three miles and

one-half from its mouth. The deposit is evidently an extensive one,

the exposures covering several acres. No united effort has been made

to develop it, the Indians quarrying it individually and carrying it

out on their backs--over a rough trail--as required.
