eminent. A Great Northern repair
shop was maintained on the west
end of the quarry to keep the flat
cars in repair. All the hauling to
Fort Peck was done by the Great
Northern railroad. On an average
one hundred twenty cars were
eighty loads left the quarry. About
of every twenty hours a train Of
loaded per twenty-four-hour work
ing day.
In the coyote blast much rock
was made that weighed much over
twelve tons. consequently second
airy blasting had to be used. All
holes drilled for secondary blast
ing were drilled with jackhammers
and blasted with black powder
with electric squibs. After day
or two of work on a fresh muck
pile the rock could not be reached
by the shovel because of its height
from the quarry floor. Then the
high scalers would get to work
loading crevices and gaps in the
wall Of rock with dynamite for
subsequent blasting These blasts

were quite dangerous. for rocks
would fly for hundreds of feet
on all sides of the blast. Sometimes
a large tonnage of rock thus blast
ed was rolled down to the shovel,
other times no rock at all would be
calling for a second shot.
AS many as ten boxes of dynamite
were used in one scaling shot. AS
the muck pile receded the tracks
were moved nearer by an automatic
track mover Two men operating
this track mover could move as
much as two hundred feet of track
twenty to thirty feet in an hour.
After the rock was loaded and
to the lower yards, Lewis
Pin Holes were drilled in each
stone. These holes were drilled
at an angle of about thirty degrees
to the vertical, toward each other,
and about two feet apart. They
were used in the unloading Of the
rock at the dam with a "tongs."
The cost of quarrying was
$50 per solid cubic yard. The last
shipment of stone was unloaded at
Fort Peck August 10, 1889, major
operations ceasing at the quarry
on the fifteenth of that month.
