WOEid's Record Beaten.
The worlds record for rock drilling
was broken at Albuquerque last week
and Grant county men did it. The fol
lowing account Of the contest is taken
from the Albuquerque Citizen:
"Frank L. Cheney and James H. Barry,
a team from Cooks Psak-known as the
Walter G. Hadley team-were the fret
to enter the arena. Their work, In its
rapidity, was q surprise to many old min
ers Interpreted among the crowd Of
SPECTATORS. Julius Eisemann oficiated
as time-keeper and at the word Ego" from
one Of the judges Cheney showed how
artistically and rapidly the head Of a
drill can be polished With an eight pound
hammer, without apparent effort, and
with graceful movement Of the main
muscles and forearm. His partner did
equally effective work in turning and it
was apparent from the movements Of
both men that a wonderful record would
DO developed. They used no spoon"
and the hole was watered and cleaned
by means Of a small tube attached to q
two gallon can Of water. AS time was
called at the end Of every minute, the
men still holding their positions on either
side Of the rock, changed from hammer
to drill, and fresh steel was applied.
These changs were made so rapidly that
the outsider could scarcely detect the
interruption in the incessant whackl
whackli whacklll At the close Of
twelve minutes a hole 23H inches wal
bored through the solid granite, the
steel forcing its way through the bottom.
A new hole was then started with delay
and at the end OF the fifteen minutes
final time was called and the team given
a record of 33% inches, and the fastest
record heretofore made was at Helena,
Montana, last spring, when the champion
team got down to 80 SIG inches. This
gives the championship Of the world &c
the Walter @. Hadley team, but before il
is 5fieislly determined they will be re-
CURED to cross hammers with the Mon.
tana boys. Hundreds of hats will be
flung in the air when the result reaches
the various mining camps OF New Mexico
