DRHoLIsHING A HILL BY GUNPowDER
One Of the greatest rock blasts ever
known was made few weeks ago at
Lime Point, the site Of the new fort be.
ing constructed by the government for the
defence Of the barbor of San Francisco
To prepare the ground for the fort il was
necessary to remove hill of rock $50 feet
in hight A small tunnel was pierced in
the hill, near its base, to a depth of sixty
feet long, excavated at right angles with
it, and PARALLEL TO the face of the hill, -
In this chamber were placed two charges
of powder, one of 1000 pounds, and the
other $500 pounds separated by forty five
feet of clay and sand, but both fred at
the same moment by means Of wire and
galvanic battery. When the charge
went off, there was no explosion in the
popular sense of that term A little
smoke and fame were seen to escape
through the moving mass of rock, and
the whole face of the hill in front of the
charges was seen to move outward, falls
ing down into the sea. And then was
seen sight rarely witnessed--a hill with.
out foundation giving way and tumb,
ling into the depth below. For about
half minute of time the masses of rock
above came rolling down the face of the
hill, to seek their watery grave below.
presenting to the mind such prolonged
period of instability that one involuntary
looked beneath him to see if he too was
not in motion. When the rock above
had broken away to the hight of IT'S
feet above the water, the motion ceased,
being renewed, however, from time to
time, tor several hours, as still other
masses above, finding themselves unsup,
ported, broke away and rolled into the
deep. The amount of rock displaced by
the blast was 100000 cubic yards, or 80,
900 tons, and its total costs 1000.
