big pile Of brick or stone and mortar when they
want to build prison. but Just take lot Of
dynamite and blow hole in one of the noun
tains which may be handy to the town where
the lookup is needed The people are so accus-
toned to using dynamite in getting out the gold
and other minerals in this part OF the West
that they can calculate to an ounce how much
IS needed to blow out a cell or a corridor. After
the interior is excavated two or three men with
crowbars and sIedges make the few windows and
the passageway through which the prisoners are
taken Just foot so is sufficient for win
dow and it costs more to set the iron bars IN
the wall than it does to cut the hole through
So the windows. if they can be called such are
not much more than peephoIes-
