A TREMENDOUS BLAST.
One Hundred Thousand Tons of
 Rock Displaced.
It Took seventy-Five Men Six Weeks to Prepare the Blast-A Difficult and Dangerous Under
 taking.

One of the largest and most success full blasts on record was recently made in the Palisades two miles north of Port Lee ferry, and about opposite Port Washington on the Hudson river. The blast removed about thousand feet of the face of the cliff, tearing it off to the depth of three hundred feet.
 The beauty of the blast, says the Boston Globe, was that, although two tons of dynamite was used, it was so sl<illfully planned that, when the mine was exploded by the electric spark, the quarrymen stood within three hun dred feet of the spot without feeling the shock unpleasantly. People living on the summit of the Palisades, who had been warned to forsake their houses at the moment of the blast, didn't even report a window glass broken.
 The report of the four thousand pounds of exploding dynamite was less noisy than that of the ordinary blast ing operation familiar to the residents of the uptown district. All that was noted was grumbling as of subter- ranean thunder, and then the great column of rock known as Washington S head rose gracefully and in a solid mass, and fell crumbling on the slopes below, where its fragments now lie dis tributed in a confused and confusing wilderness of bowlders
 Superintendent Harvey A. Banks was busy in preparing for it for six weeks with a gang of seventy-fve men. It was slow work and needed careful engineering. Mir. Banks planned the thing himself, and was much gratified that his calculations proved so near the actual results achieved.
 In the first place tunnel was drilled near the base of the big rock, which lowered up three hundred and fifty feet above the heads of the miners This tunnel was extended about thirty feet into the solid rock, and was made just large enough for a man to crawl into. At that point the tunnel was made to change its course downward and obliquely for distance of sixty feet.
 Then it was carried back again

MIR. MAYCLOUD'S SIDE.
The SanguInary Affair at the Garden
 City Restaurant.

City Restaurant.
 Jesse Maycloud, whose adventure at the Garden City restaurant on the night of July has been given notoriety called at THE REPUBLICAN office last night to give his side of that event and explain something in relation to his re- cent domestic troubles:
 Said he "On the evening of July Mrs. Maycloud was parading the streets with tin horn gambler and tramp rep resentiDg herself to be single woman, going under the fictitious name of Miss Alice Shackleford. Her right name is Mrs. Alice Maycloud. 1 met Mrs. May cloud and the tin horn gambler and tramp together in room in the Garden City restaurant sitting side by side talking as man and wife. I said hello Mrs. Maycloud, you're having good time with some other man. when the tinhorn said you d--n S. of b., you can't speak to this woman,' and struck me and knocked me back into the hall way; he followed me and struck me twice before I could recover myself. When recovered myself and was de- lending myself Sheriff Murphy came in and led me out. I went back after ward to get an Odd Fellows badge I thought l had lost in the scuffle and Mrs. Maycloud was sitting by the tin. horn with his shirt torn off, flaming him and saying to him, my dear hus- band you're badly hurt, aint you dear p, I didn't find my badge and went back on the street. I saw Jim Blankenshlp and told him to arrest the tinhorn. When we went in Mrs. Maycloud was still flaming the tinhorn."
 The rest of MT. Maycloud's narration relates to the arrest which has already been made matter of court and news paper record.
 He says he and Mrs. Maycloud were married last year and lived together in the highest state of bliss for two months and half, with never cross or inn proper word. All at once she pulled out and left for cause which has been an rnfathomable mystery to him.

straight through the rock wall until a vertical seam or split in the formation occurred. which offered an admirable resting place for the destroying dyna- mite. This sean was followed down for a distance of some thirty feet or more, and in a commodiOuS chamber almost wholly modelled by nature the workmen prepared a nest for the pow der.
 It took several days to carry the dan gerous stuff through these tunnels and load it into the rock chamber This was ticklish work, and the men, mostly Italians, didn't relish it much. After it was all in position it had to be tamped in and covered up with earth and logs. so that there might be no waste of the force. After this. con nections were made with an electric battery which was placed far above on the summit of the cliff.
 When the charge was fired there was a moment of suspense. and then the ground trembled under their feet. and a dull rumbling seemed to rise out Of the very bowels of the earth. The big column of rock could be seen to sway a moment and then rose up almost bod fly, as if propelled by an engine work, ing at its very foundations, and fell out towards the rivers shore, breaking into many fragments in its career and filling the slope with rock deposit reckoned at one hundred thousand tons pf lnnSt

The Transfer Has Not Yet Been Completed.
The Marvellous Wealth of that Great Property.
Rumor of a Proposition to the
 Buyers by Mir. Hubbard.
Arizona Gold Fields Becoming the Mecca of Late Operators in Sil-
 yer Properties.

It was reported yesterday by gen. tleman who came in from the Harqua Halas that there is possible hitch in the transfer of the Bonanza whose sale for nearly $2, 1000, ,0OO was reported week ago. At any rate the transfer was not made at the time agreed upon although $25O ,OOO has been paid by the pur- chasers. He also said that A. G. Hub bard, who since the death of his partner, Geo. w. Bowers, has had charge of the negotiations, had submitted a prop osition to the English syndicate which had bought the mine the nature of which was that he would re- turn the forfeit of $20 900 and pay $60, 900 beside for the privilege of working the Bonanza sixty days. It is said that there is $2O0,O00 worth of ore Tn sight, so that MT. Hubbard is probably not desirous that the deal should ever be consummated.
 Gold mining has received new i'm petus within the past two weeks and those owning gold properties are jubi. lant. They are predicting such min ing boom for Arizona as has never been witnessed since the Australian gold fields were opened or since the im- mortal days of '49.
 Since the silver mines have been closed in Colorado and other mining states and territories, inquiries as to mining properties in Arizona nave been numerous and already many prospect i've investors have arrived. These say they are only forerunners of the throng which will appear in the early fall. There had indeed been constant move in this direction, but the closing of the silver mines without good prospect of their reopening has precIpitated the rush. Ph9nIx will naturally derive the greatest benefit from this condition of affairs as it is located among newly dis covered mines of phenomenal richness and in territory which until recently had been undisturbed by the prospect. ors' pick.
 From present indications there seems to be no limit to the possibilities which lie in the Superstition mountains only forty miles east. The same may be said of the opportunities which are be- ing presented in the Eagle Tail noun tains, twice as far west, and the HarquR Halas lying immediately beyond, al

There Was Nothing to Be Done

The meeting of citizens last night to discuss the extension of the city limits was not well attended and nothing was done. The conclusion, however, was arrived at that there was nothing to be tension and the power of the council, which is strongly in favor of taking in the additions, is absolute in the matter, so that it only becomes necessary to stand aside and let the council act. As one gentleman remarked, & discussion of the question is much the same as praying for rain in the midst of a gra- cious and sufficient shower.

ready made famous by the great bo- nanZa.
 The Bradshaws, north of the city, have always been considered gold mountains, though facilities have never been sufficient for their development. Times, however, have changed sudden ly. Gold is to be the only precious mineral sought and facilities will be provided for working every gold mine in the territory and hundreds of thous- ands of dollars will be spent in the hunt for undiscovered mineral. So out of what is justly regarded as a national misfortune brought about bya criminal conspiracy among nations 1t seems that Arizona is likely to derive benefit. The development of her mineral re- sources was of course bound anyhow to be made in the near future, but the apparently successful conspiracy has hastened it.

Waterloo.

I would say to those abont to visit Wa

rail and omnibus, take q field glass and a
plan Of the battle, climb the mound and
study the country from the top Of it. EN-
ploy no guide and resist all temptationsto
purchase Waterloo relics made last year,
or photographs, which can be obtained
both better and cheaper in Brussels.
The constant flow Of English visitors to
the field gives to foreigners, especially the
Belgians, an idea that Waterloo was the
only really big battle in which British
troops ever fought and beat the French,
and in histories used by Belgian school
children they are taught to believe that
the victory was mainly owing to the prod
igies OF valor shown by the Belgian troops.
In Germany the victory is claimed for
the Prussians, Il no two account Of the
fight agree even as to the hour when the
first shot was fired. The Germans speak
of the fight as the battle of ST. Lambert,
the French call it Mont st. Jean, and why
we call it the battle of Waterloo is one OF
those problems which. | fear, will never
be solved.-Notes and Queries.

Human Beings With Tails.

There are Mt least two well authenticat-
cd instances on record of human beings
provided with taillike elongations Of the
spinal column. One of these is reported in
the Asiatic Transactions Calcutta, June,
1869, and the other in the journal of the
British Anthropological society. In the
first instance the tailed human was "A Moi
boy Of Cochin-C China, the tail being about
a foot in length, but without II bony con-
nection with the terminus Of the spine.
The boy was supposed to be IL years old
at the time the report was published, but
the noted oriental scholar who made the
examination has since died, and the
society has lost all track Of the tailed
Chinaman. The second instance mention
ed was reported In the journal of the Brit
ish Anthropological society for July, 1890,

and female, who were brought to England

happan. There was q crowd around the
window Of q furnishing store, the enter
pr1sing proprietor Of which had placed 3
couple OF automatic p~rixcightas o N view.
n the crowd wero two young men, eN-
IDENTIFY friends, because they had come up
the street together. and they spoke several

stood behind the other, while directly on
his left stood q mild looking man, evi-
IDENTIFY very much Interested In the auto
matte figures In the window.
That one OF tho young men was q hui
morist was shown when he quietly moved
his hand In the direction Of his friends
watch chain, and when II got close enough
tried to extract the watch from his pocket.
Ho was succeeding admirably when his
friend made a grab for his pocket. The
other quickly drew his hand away. The
frst young man turned around and let his
6st cRtch the mild looking man under the
chin.
"Try to steal my watch, will your"
yelled he, and he banged tho man again.
II didn't touch began the man when
third blow, this time IN the eye, stopped
him. The crowd got excited, and several
men !evincsd a desire to help tho young
man do up the alleged ~pickpocket.
"Punch him again" said n man.
"Give 1t to himi That's the way to

Several blocks away a policeman caught
the fugitive and held him. Both Of his
eyes were swollen, and there were Jumps
aud bruises all over hie face.
'tHe tried to s.c..l ~ watch" said the
young man who had started the assault.
''It's a lie," said the man. "Inever even
noticed him."
"That's what they oil say" exclaimed
an old man who had come up.
"He's q tough looking customer" said
the policeman. "Come along" and he
yanked tho mans collar.
Meantime the young man who made
the charge had been in conversation with
his friend. As the policeman started away
he walked up and said In . sheepish tone:
"Say, officer, there's some mistake here.
You SEE, my friend here just tells me that It
was he who grabbed my watch chain. He
was trying to play . joke on me-"
The accused man looked weary.
"What do I get for this lickingi" he
said. "You can let me go, but that don't
do me no good for these two eyes and this
cut up face. You've got to do something,
or I'll have you arrested for assault"
The policeman decided that he had moth.
ing more to do with the matter and went
away, while the joker, his friend and tbs
man who had been whipped argued and
threatened for a time and finally retired
