CORRESPONDENCE.

EDITOR JOURNAL Il understand that Messrs.
Dixon, Hurst & Co. have lately determined to
explode blast of one hundred and fifty kegs of
powder in their claim at Dutton Greek. am
glad to notice this, as feel sure that this pion-
eer blast on large scale will lead to the sue
ceesful working of many deep placer lodes in our
county, that have hitherto been unworked, al
though known to contain plenty of the precious
dust, while parties owning them-being unwill-
ing to risk the first outlay to open them or from
some other cause-have allowed them to lay
dormant
This method of working, usually termed bank
blasting, has been practiced with great success
in Yuba, Nevada and Placer counties, and at
Smartsville two blasts have been "put off, the
present year, each of which contained upwards
of 5000 kegs of powder. The method employed
is to 4" drift - into the bank on the bed rock as
far as required, something in the form of the let
ter 7, depositing the powder mostly at the ex-
tremities of the drift" but distributing some
along to and down the main drift to where tho
fuse will reach it, placing it in the kegs, which
usually have one end knocked in When the
powder is put in place, say from fifteen to thirty
feet of the drift is filled or tamped, leaving the
balance open to exert the greater lifting force
on the bank, and the explosion takes place
These drifts are usually small as is possible
for a man to work in with the exception of small
chambers at the end of the T. An electric bat
terry is often employed to explode these blasts.
Messrs. Dixon, Hurst 4 Co. have secured the
services of Mr.. j. Hayes who has had experience
in bank blasting in Smartsvile, Gold Run,
Dutch Flat and other places, to superintend
their blast. They have ordered their powder
from the California Powder Works. This pow
der is generally preferred for such work as it
can be relied on as being fresh from their mills
and in good order-an item of much Importance
where so large an outlay is made. This COM
pany furnished the powder for the explosion of
Blossom Rock and most of the large blasts in
similar mining on the Coast. 1t will be very in
teresting for miners of this neghoorhood to wit
ness this blast, and hope we may all be there
to see. Messrs Dixon, Hurst & Co. have had
the courage to lead off in this experiment, and it
is to be hoped that their success will be equal
to their most sanguine expectations.

Spectacular.

We were shown part ofthe Scenery and
set pieces now under construction for the
Spectacular Drama of Aladdin or the Won
derful Lamp, TO take place in the Opera
House in our city for the benefit of the
Grand Army Band commencing on the
llth of February and must say that We
have been very well pleased at the ap-
pearance ofeverything appertaining to the
play, which has been gotten up in elegant
styie by Mons. Paiol who as our citizens are
aware has been for sometime busily enga-
ged in tastefully ornamenting the house
OF our fellow citizen g. Aultman, Esq, now
under construction north Of the city. No
pains or expenses have been spared to
make everything complete as regards to
putting an efthe piece. All the old scenery
has been retouched and now presents a bet
ter appearance than ever before. This,
combined with the new set pieces, the in
PRODUCTION of the celebratedChinese dance,
which has been neatly improved upon by
the addition of several new performers,
combined with TableauX, and choruses,
lnterspersed throughout the play, bids fair
to make Aladdin q complete success.
Taking into consideration the object for
which this splendid pantomime has been
prepared, benefit in aid of the Grand Ar
my Band of our city, our citizens should
not fail to greet our amateures who have
given their time to aid this project, q
rousing reception every night. We may
state also that Mons. Pajol did all the seem

City.
