BLASTING Lavae, of Greene's Mine.
near here, has invented and had patented by the
United States device for charging drill holes
for blasting rock. The Mining and Scientific
Press, through whose agency the patent was OBJ
lowed gives the following description of the ma
chine.
This invention relates to novel instrument
or charging the holes which are made by drill
for blasting purposes, with Giant or other pow
der forthe purpose of competing it, preparatory
to exploding the blast A metal tube or charg-
er Is employed, which contains the requerd
amount OF powder to charge the hole. A piston
moves in this cylinder, and has q ru4l extending
through the upper end of the cylinder, and
though tube which is screwed upon its upper
end 50 as to extend to the required distance from
the charge TO permit it to be inserted in the drill
hole while the operator retains his hold upon the
tube. To use this charger the desired amount
OF powdee is placed in the cylinder and packed
by com mpression if desired, then the piston being
withdrawn by means of the handle as far as pis-
sible. Tne cylinder is then inserted in the drill
hole and pushed down to the bottom; the piston
stheu forced down SO rs to force the powder out
of the cylinder, Ii desired, the powder can be
compacted in the bottom of the hole before rc-
moving it from the cylinder This greatly
facilitates the operation of blasting as the pow
der can be placed in the hole without trouble,
whereas as at present used it as often necessary
to compact it IN water, which fills the bottom OF
the hole, and the powder is consequently stirred
into pasty mass so that it viii not do full eX-
ecuuon.'
Frank is a natural genius in mechanics. and We
hope his invention may prove as rich a strike as
