New Ulm Stone Company to Resume Quarry Operations
New Ulm Stone Company's stock and property, now owned by an Iowa concern, plans to restart operations at the Redstone quarry across the river in Nicollet County. Experts surveyed the site to install larger machinery and expand capacity, with capital to be increased from 25 000 to at least 100 000 dollars. The stone, tested by the federal Bureau of Chemistry as the hardest quartzite with high toughness, suffered a shutdown during wartime rail restrictions but demand now promises renewed production of New Ulm crushed stone.
