boundless TO learn that within the pur.

800 birds nests, sholtering 500 feath

total bird population of $500, not

The blast was laid and fred by men

to make ready for the shot. Powder
that was exploded amounted to $4,000
pounds, and the blast cost the Portland

$1,000. The explosion threw down

At that depth, two branch drifts were
run at right angles, one 75 feet and
the othe7 AS feet in length. Three
mines of blasting powder were then
laid, one at the end of each tunnel, and
rock tightly tamped behind the ex-
plosives, while a wire was laid to each

of preparing and firing the blast, which
is one of the biggest ever shot along
the Columbia, was under the general
