coolness over mine of fifty thousand
pounds of the most destructive of known
explosives.
At 10 last evening the wires were
connected and taken into the bomb proof.
The shaft was then entirely clear of debris
and workmen ascended the stairs for tho
last time. When the MIXERS reached the
ground above, three times three cheers
were given for General Newton, Captain
Mercer, Mr. Boyle, Mr. Streidingce and

At 1920 dispatches were sent to Wash

At midnight Capt. Mercer ordered the
gate to be opened and Barney Boyle
turned the valve. The water howled
through the iron pipe, resounding through
the galleries with the roar of Niagara
The work has been successfully compIet
ed without accident and all that remains
is a gentle innundation of the excava
