cradle prejudice has heretofore existed
among our miners not only here, but
in other mineral sections Of the Pa
cifc coast, in regard to the use Of
Giant powder in blasting, various de-
Crees of sickness, nausea, headache,
etc, being attributed to its use. Much
of this idea, however, would seem to
DO more Imaginary than real, and In
fact the prejudice against this new and
efficient explosive Is fast wearing
away. In this connection the Nevada
Transcript tells the following anecdote,
occurring near Grass Valley: 1--WE
heard Of the introduction Of Giant
powder by tho superintendent Of one
Of our quartz mines by a little strategy
in such a way that the miners freely
consented to its use. knowing the
prejudice Of the men against Giant
powder, he procured several cartridges
of 1t and took them Into the mine,
being careful to let tho miners see
them rs he went down. Shortly after
he reached the lowest point In the tun-
mol blasting begun, and the reports
OF several oiasts WIZ ca ~

giant powder was used. After sufh-
Client blasting had been done to pro-
