INCREASED COST OF BLASTING.

One of the things that astonish
strangers who visit New York is the
operation of blasting which is fire.
quently to be seen in the heart of the
city. In this respect New York differs
from many cities, where it is only nee
essary to dig into the soil, cart the
dirt away and then place the founda-
ton stones. Here, however the some
what paradoXical process of removing
stone before putting stone down is,
gone through with The work is not
confined to any particular region, and
the booming of dynamite is quite as
familiar to the persons who live in
Fifth avenue as to those who abide in
Harlem. There are at present several
large blasting operations in process in
upper Broadway and Fifth avenue.
Andrew Carnegie's new home, at Fifth
avenue and Ninety street, great
Lodges of rock had to be removed, and
the work employed the combined eff
forts of many men, steam drills and
dynamite in great quantities. The
work of blasting is carried on by con-
tractors. The price at present aver
ages about 81 cubic yard, and.
though it is apparently an expensive
operation, the great value of Manhat-
tan land makes it we'll worth while.
The price for doing the work is about
twice as great now as it was few
years ago. Contractors say that the
reason for this is the increased risk
caused by the large amount of build
ing that has been done. Formerly, for.
instance, before much land in Harlem
had been built on, the dynamite could
be discharged without fear of damage
to the surrounding property. Now,
however, there is always some risk
that damage viii result, for which the
contractor will be held liable The
chief danger is not, as is generally
supposed from flying rocks. That dan
3, ger, in fact is done away with by a
law which compels contractors to COW
er the charge with heavy logs, chained
together so that the fragmer, S Of rock
cannot be hurled about. The risk
| comes from the con .usSion caused by
| the peculiar structure of the lodges of
rocl- which run in veins, it is net in
! frequent for Il house not many blocks
away to be shaken by a discharge OF
dynamite. AS rule no attempt is
made to dislodge more than five tons
| OF rock hy a single blast, as the cost
of breaking up the large masses before
carting them away is more expensive
than to make the frequent blasts. The
work of blasting comes under the SUI
pervision of the department Of COM
! bustibles. A bond Of $4,000 is re-
CURED of those who engage in IT. A
sign indicating that a license has been
granted for the work must be dis
played where an operation is in prsg-
ress, and the contractor is not per
mitted to carry on more than one
blasting op ration at the same time. If
his business is such as to necessitate
blasting in two or more parts of the
city at the same time, he is obliged to
give bond for each observation-disclosures
