charging the canal discharged a large
blast in the bed of the canal, the top of the
rock being about seven feet under water,
and the dynamite charges were at the bot
tom of two holes drilled seven feet deep in
the rock. Both were discharged simulta-
neously by electricity, breaking up large
amount of rock which was removed by the
derricks. Monday two more blasts were
discharged at the same point, and when
one of them went off, the water and stone
which would weigh a ton or more was
thrown to height of 100 feet or more,
making a grand sight. Ths stone came
down within % feet of where it left the
water and no damage was done, although
those who saw its journey expected it
would strike some of the buildings.

passing much more quietly. Often in past
