thrown 100 feetaway, and yet so stupendous
was the force that the hill for 100 feet back
from the blast was rent and fssured as if by
an earthquake.
1t was as if some huge Titan had doubled
up under the hill, and by a sudden
Strengthening up had lifted up the big mass
OF earth and let it roll of in crumbs to all
sides Of him. The little red silk danger
flag which stood on the apex of the hill was
buried beneath the debris. The fuse was
lighted at exactly 215 o'clock by Henry
Williams, foreman of the blasting opera
tions, and after an exceedingly anxious walt
of fifteen minutes the hill went heaven
ward with q rumblng roar, and fell back
again with great clatter.
The spectators rushed for the spot. and
were soon climbing over the vast mass OF
upheaved dirt Fully 10000 yards OF earth
and rock were thrown out by the explosion,
while the entire hill was lOOSened. Those
who stood within 500 yards of the scene dis
tinctly felt the ground shake beneath them,
and at distance of 100 feet the ground
was Opened in yawnng gaps wide enough to
swallow up man. The blast WAS pro-
nOunced success, and was hugely enjoyed by
a dozen carriage-lOads of ladies and gentle
men, who braved the smells of Butchertown
to witness the sight.
Out in the Potrero, just where the juno
tion of SOlanO aud Missouri streets will be
when completed, stands the remains of a
vast pile Of rock 100 feet high, and that
once covered many acres of ground. A few
months ago the Real Estate and Improve
ment Company, under the management Of
William Hollis, tackled this hill with pow
der and pick and shovel. and one result Of
its labors was the transferring Of about half
of this rock pile to neighboring gullies and
fills. Some big blasts have been made in
this hill, but the biggest one ever made on
the peninsula was the one of yesterday.
About one more such blast. and the hill will
be eveled.
The work of preparing the blast began
about three weeks ago. A tunnel about
four feet wide and five feet high was dug
fifty feet into the heart of the hill. At its
end another tunnel was also dug extending
for thiTty-five feet. and at right angles to
either side Of the main tunnel, making the
letter L. 1t required about two weeks labor
TO complete these tunnels. In the top part

feet directly under the crest OF the hill, and
about sixty feet below the surface, seventy

to Future Meeting.

called meeting OF the Board of Trade OF
San Francisco was held yesterday afternoon
TO take some action in regard to the selected
Postoffice site. j. p. LIE Count called the
meeting to order, when it was discovered
that the necessary number to make quorum
was not present.
Some of those present went out on the
highways and byways and presently
brought in a sufficient number to compose a
quorum. The Chairman then explained the
object of the meeting, which was to take
some action in regard to the forwarding to
Washington of protest by that body
against the selected site. He also stated
that a protest had been circulated among
the members and had been signed by 116 OF
the 2l6 persons comprising that body. Many
had however, refused to sign the protest
while others were not to be seen, in view OF
which he had called the meeting to obtain
an expression from the members as body
as TO whether the protest in its present form
should be forwarded.
Secretary Sachs read letter from Henry
T0omy to the Board of Trade, in which he
alluded 10 an acquaintance of his who was
an intimate friend of Wanamaker'S, and

selected was entirely satisfactory to the

right to be heard as those who are opposed
to IT, He made motion to that end, but ii
was ruled out of order.
W. w. Montague was opposed to the site,
as he did not think it was a good business
proposition.
c. ID. Armes thought many members had
stayed away under the Impression that the
selection had been confirmed. as such a
statement had been published.
II. L. Dodge wanted a postoifice in any
and every event. though lie personally
would have preferred another location. In
regard to the present selection having been
in Il swamp. he remeinbered having a 100
vara lot at Seventh and Mission streets in
1S49 and it was not swamp then. He
thought it would, however, be suicidal to
protest against the preSen: selection.
After discussing the subject for few
minutes more it was decided not to take any
action upon tie matter until another meet
ing. which will be called when the chair
man can communicate with all the members.
