After removing the drills. spoonful of black blasting powder is dropped to the bottom of each hole, tamped with clay. and the holes wired so that they can be elec- tFicaily fired, The effect of the ex- plosion is to start cracks in the rocks at right angles to the holes. This operation is repeated number or times, until it is certain that tho cracks radiate from the bottom of the holes to distance of about 75 feet. Into each hole to slightly over half its depth, there is then inserted finch pipe. and the space sur rounding the pipes in the holes is filled with sand. tamped so as to seaf 1t against air pressure.
