BIG SHOT MOVES ROCK IN CANYON
 FOR R. R. GRADE

The biggest shot of the winter was set off yesterday in Nenana canyon by the contracting firm of Victor Young & Co.,, the explosion resulting in the lossening of ap- proximately 1s,O0O yards of rock, much of which was hurled high in the air and out into the canyon. Fourteen thousand three hundred pounds of explosive, with a value of approximately $3,sOO, was used in the operation.
 Engineer in Charge Freak D. Browne, Chris Edmunds and num- Der of others made the trip to the |canyon to witness the blast, and Official Photographer M. V. Tyler went along to make record of 1t for the Alaskan Engineering com 1h'oSioii, uuC tilS ~edIHeT was Ddu and the snow too deep to permit of Ia closeup view. The explosion is described as most spectacular, with great clouds of smoke rising high into the air, encircling balls of ex- ploding gases. Another cloud of smoke, with its inner ball of fire, shot out across the canyon, and loosened rock was hurled in every direction. The smoke clouds were visible for a considerable distance, but the snow-filled air virtually spoiled the view.
 Notwithstanding the weather con- ditions, however, the picture taken by MT. Tyler was fairly good, al- though lacking much of the detail that would have been possible had the day been less dark and stormy.
