To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When one arrives at this quarry from below, it presents the appearance almost of a crater open towards the front, along the lips of which, twelve or fourteen terraces run, one above another, each of which is from forty-five to fifty feet high, and upon which the works of blasting and digging are carried on by about 2000 workmen. The stone is of a reddish-brown ; sometimes, also, grayish slate, of fine grain, which splits well into plates, and takes a fine polish. The mass never contains organic... remains, but is fre- quently traversed by strata of quarry or limestone, in which crystals of some metals, principally copper and iron, occur. The manner in which these quarries are worked is the following : On the galleries, or terraces, large masses of slate are first detached by means of powder, and then roughly hewn into shape. There are laid along each of these terraces tram-roads formed of rails loosely laid down, upon which the masses of slate, in waggons with suitable wheels, are thrust along by men to the little houses situated on the declivity of the mountain, at the extremities of the galleries.
