Because Of News that Government

New York. Sept. 19-There was little

from the dull. listless. and inert DAYS OF
immediate past. II anything, the dull

OF the days transactions, and purely pro-
fessional operations accounted for most
o. the dealings. AT first. prices declined
little under the leadership, so far as
any leadership was afforded by a certain
amount of pressure brought to bear
against United States Steel common,
based upon stories that were seemingly
well authenticated of diminished business
IN the iron trade and the making of con
eessions in steel prices.
Sugar Stock Is Weak.
American Sugar Refining common

picture taken Of recent battery shot
made at the National stone quarry az
Louisville. Neb., recently has caused no little
comment because OF the danger incident to
taking such a picture and the clear manner
in which the detail IL brought out. This
picture was taken by Thomas J. sullivan,
superintendent at the quarry and the shot
was made under the direction Of Oscar
Kimblom, the dynamite expert.
In making the shot shown in the photo
graph about 1900 pounds of dynamite was
used. The lodge which is being disputed by
the shot is from eighteen to twenty-tour
feet in height and the dynamite is loaded
into holes drilled twelve feet back from the
face CT the ledge and eight feet apart.
These extend for distance Of about $50
feet along the ledge. twentysix holes in all,
containing about thrty-five or forty pounds
Of dynamite each.
II Is estimated that about 5000 tons Of
rock was thrown down by this shot. enough
rock TO load $50 cars or about two good
sized railroad trains. Because Of the ex-
perience OF Mr.. Klmblom in loading these
batter shots II is possible for him to so ar
range his dynamite that the rock is broken
up into shall masses Of from 800 to 500
pounds in weight However, in a recent
shot one rock was thrown out about forty
feet from the base OF the ledge which
weighed about 300 tons, The danger in
cident to taking picture such as Mr.. Sui
Ivan secured arises from the great amount
OF small rock which Is thrown up by the
shot. veritable downpour of small bould-
ers following each explosion. When he
took the accompanying photograph it was
necessary for him to show great agility in
lodging the rain OF rock which followed
the shooting Of the battery. as he was but
100 feet from the ledge when the explosion
occurred
very peculiar phenoRenon which has
accompanied all the large shots at the
National quarry is the fact that there is an
eruption about 200 feet from the base OF
the ledge in the bed OF the quarry. very
much resembling such an upheaval of the
earth as is seen in cases Of earthquakes.

Give Douglas County Cream
cry Support.

In meeting at Washington hall Friday
night a number of small dairy proprietors
voted a resolution to support the Douglas
County Creamery company which 1t was
declared would be established in this city

is set forth as that of supplying the re-
tail creameries with milk, so that none shall
have the experience of running out of their
supply. Heretofore a number of the small
Ter concerns have at times purchased milk
from the Atlantic Creamery company.
The dalrymen gave an endorsement to the
methods OF Dairy Inspector G. n, Young.
They declared the physician had accom-
plished great dear in improving their con-
dtions.
1t was reported that Mrs. C. w. Hays,
2ol6 Lake street had inspected sixteen
dairies Friday i'm company with Dr. Young
and had found the dairymen were using ali
necessary precautions in the milking and
care OF their cows

This has been regarded as quite a curiosity
by Prof. Condra Of the state university. 1t
is due to the great downward pressure OF
the dynamite finding a place of escape in
the soft bed of the quarry.
After the stone is thrown down into the
quarry by these large battery shots, 1t is
necessary to do further shooting in order
to break the larger fragments into sizes
TT for the crusher. This is done by pro-
cess known as block-holng. Holes are
drilled into these large stones and then
filled with dynamite, which is exploded
The adobe is another shot used to break
the large rock for the crusher. In this
process two or three sticks OF dynamite are
laid on a rock and a plaster of mud placed
over them. These are exploded by fuses.

Although the business Of blasting rock is
very hazardous and the quarry men are
often placed in most precarious position,
1t is remarkable that no one has yet been
injured by explosions at the National
quarry. Superintendent Sullivan attributes
this to the expertness of Mr.. Kimblom,
who is known among quarrymen as the
powder monkey at the quarry.
