Stevens. and one of the officers from the
post, who were watching the explosion
from a vantage point on the railroad
track, came near being drowned.
Three long tunnels had been extended
into the mountain side, these being con-
nected with cross tunnels. In the
pocket OF each OF the three main tun-
nels co tons of giant powder was placed.
Electrical attachments were arranged.
and at 1902 the explosions were made.
For 10 or Is seconds the great mass
of rock trembled violently, and then
collapsed with a deafening roar. The
explosion could scarcely be heard, so
far from the surface had the powder
been placed. but the noise created by
the falling rock could be heard for
miles. Persons who saw the blast say
the scene vas one Of rare grandeur. but
the novelty OF the event was lessened
by the loss sustained by the railroad
company.
The face OF the mountain blasted yes

figured that the rock would come
straight down. Instead the immense

Major Langfitt, Superintendent He

washed over the bank, scattering the
timbers in every direction. The four
men were thrown into the water and
washed up and down the bank with the
timbers, but luckily none was seriously
injured. DR.. Smith suffered slight
injury to the leg, but the others escaped
with a thorough drenching.
The sliding into the river of the
rock was q disappointment to President
curtis and the other gentlemen present
who had hoped shis blast would make
available sufficient rock to carry on OPP
