A Big Blast.
IRONToN, Mo-, August 10Th, 1

IRONTON, Mo-, August 18th, 1885.
Ed. Register.-Having been on trip west
a short distance, have concluded to give
you partial description of ''the big blast"
For several months Messrs. Schneider and
Wright have had men engaged in their gran
lite quarry, two miles west OF Middebrook,
in Iron county, placing machinery in posi-
ton, building houses, and sinking shaft
near the base of their granite mountain.
The shaft was carried down about fifty feet,
by Messrs. Schleuter and Albert Stone, con-
tractors; also, two wings or chambers, rum
ming in opposite directions for a considerable
distance. The chambers were filled with
several tons Of powder, and closed with solid
granite, as also was the shaft, leaving only
room enough for two small wires to pass
out. Everything being in readiness, Satur-
day, at one O'Clock, was the time selected for
the explosion.
Notices were posted in many places around
the works, warning the people to keep in
safe places, for fear of an accident.
Many who had not been in the habit Of
smelling powder, took to the woods for sey-
eral miles, and did not come in for day or
two. The cables were taken some distance
from the shaft, and connected to a large bat
terry, and a young lady whose name your re-
porter did not learn moved the ivory button
and upheav ed large portion of Schneider's
granite mountain. The report was not ter
rifle, but sounded deep and dull, and dark
clouds of dust and smoke were forced up
several hundred feet high.
After all was over, all present expressed
themselves well pleased with the result
Mr.. VIM. Schneider was so elated that he
jumped up and down with joy, cut the pig
con wing, &c. CThe &c. was taken after
supper.) Granite blocks as large as houses
were lifted from the very bottom, and seams
and cracks for many hundred yards in vari-
Gus directions laid open.
Work will cease for day or two, to enable
parties from New York and other points to
view the great upheaval, and photograph
the same. Yours respectfully, 81.

wearied without exertion, the mind slow to

cline at that part of the mine.
Ed. Perry, the wood butcher, has a new
helper in place Of the Italian helper who has
gone into the mines to work.
The lightning boss can't control the light
ming that is needed to light up the mines.
He had new machine sent in place of the
old one, and it appears that it won't manu-
facture the lightning for the boss so that the
mines can be lighted up with satisfaction.
Here is new generator that is supposed to
carry lightning enough to light up or run
sixty lamps. This new machine was put in
operation with speed for sixty lamps, when
at the same time Gas have been informed)
there were not over thirty lamps in opera
ton. The result, of course, was the burning
of some parts of the generator.
JIG. Simpson, General Manager, was at
the mines several days last week.
The company has sold the ore dump a
No. 2 and commenced shipping last Satur-
day.
Several new Rand drilling machines were
started last week.
Ore is being shipped daily to the Vulcan
Steel Works at Carondelet.
The Company's store at this place is filled
with every thing the workmen need in the
line of dry goods, groceries, provisions,
clothing, boots and shoes. And who ever
visits this store will find Mr.. Post at his post.
The late striking miners have been notified
TO vacate the Company houses within the
next thirty days.
One year ago t he mines ceased operations,
and the prediction with a great many was
that the mines would not work again for
years, on account of the dizziness in the iron
business. Also, that the South could pro-
duce cheaper ores and cheaper iron than
could be produced in Missouri. The above
prediction has not proved TO be true, as far
as Pilot Knob mines are concerned, for to-
day the mines are shipping large quantities
of ore, and have secured large ore contracts
that will take some time TO fill. And there
is no doubt that all this work and energy in
bringing the mines into their present con-
dition is dine to the energy of Receiver Hitch
cock and General Manager j. c. Simpson;
and day our little Valley rings with the
blasts from our iron mines.
