HE'LL GATE EXCAVATIONS.

THE EXPLOSION NOT TO TAKE PLACE BEFORE
SEPTEMBER l-ITs PROBABLE EFFEcrs'
New York, July l.-Gen. John New,
ton, Engineer Corps, in charge OF the he'll
Gate operations, states that the explo-
sion at IIallett's Point certainly Will not
take place until September l, ut the
earliest. Although the work OF excaya-
ton is completed, the contracts tor ex-
plosive materials have not yet been hlled;
The battery for exploding charges wili
be placed near the edge of the PIT the
operating room will be about $50 feet
from it. The explosive materials used
will be nitro-glycerine and its various
compounds, in charges not exceeding ten
pounds each, and placed at points where
they will be most effective, differing IN
his respect from the explosion in San
Francisco harbor, where the powder
wasmassed together. Gen. Newton e1.
planned that the water not only would
act as tamping or covering, preventing
by its weight an intense report and shock
but that the enormous amount OF neat
generated from the liberated gases would
spend its force in vaporiaing the water,
thus lessening the chances Of marked
agitation on the surface. 1t IS not e1-
pected that much of rock will be thrown
rock may have weak spots or seams. In
such cases the explosion will have more
effect and throw the rock some distance
in the air. The object of dispensing the
nitro -glycerine is to effect rending Of
the rock, so that it can be more effect
ually broken up by after blasts. The
works cover three acres, and the amount
of debris which will have to be removed
is estimated to be not less than 10000
cubic yards, requiring about two years
further work.
General Newton expressed as his opln-
ion that the scientific delegations which
have applied for the privilege Of making
determinations in reference to the rapid
ty at which sound travels in earth, air
and water, will be disappointed in the
results of very many of their calculations,
especially those which propose taking
stations at some distance from the work.
He antic ipates no remarkable report or
violent conclusion, owing to the dis
trubution of the nitro -gly cerine through
so large an area and in such small
quantities. The effect of the blast, to
use the General ) own words, will sound
very much like =" an explosion in tub Of
mush. The only work being done at
the present time is pumping the water
out as fast as it drains into the tunnels.
