Sometime today there is to be young
"Hell Gate" explosion on the line Of the
Midland branch up Castle creek. The
explosion is to occur at rocky point
near the hume houses OF the Castle
creek and Maroon creek bitches. Nine
holes have been drilled into the rock
from twenty five to thirty feet deep, and
into these 27O kegs of black blasting
powder will be put, making between two
and three tons OF explosives. They will
be exploded simultaneously by an cleo
trical device and it is expected amoun-
tain Of rock will be rolled down into the
creek. OF course houses on the mesa
will feel the shock. but no alarm need be
felt, as it is not likely that any damage
will be done. It was said yesterday that
the great mine would probably be set of
at o'clock, but it may be later. Quite
a number have expressed desire to see
the explosion, and several cameras will
be set at . safe distance to get snap
shots of the great upheaval. Clough
