GRAFTON, starting at the outlet por-
tails, is ring drilling, wherein a ring
of "a holes at a time is drilled at
81 foot intervals along the pilot
tunnels. One ring Of holes at a
time is then loaded with dynamite
and the 81 foot slice of shale is
blasted loose from the face of the
rock. The loose shale falls in a
pile on the invert. or floor, of the
circular tunnel.
Next operation is to roll up the
jumbo, a huge movable steel

out from this ungainly affair. The
platforms are pushed out into

Workmen on the scaffolds then
chip off the projections of the

While the rock is being cut by
hand, two mechanical "mucKers",
or small electric shovels. work side
