says that this terrible disease is again
at work and appears'to be spreading.
Ini the beginning of the week two new
cases were announced, and it hab yinee
ec of ihe. tae
the result as given by the alips of the
Union,who was present: “We witnessed .
six holes drilled, charged and fired in .
the stopes at the Empire mine on Friday last with the following results :—
With single handed working, with a
bit of 7:8 of an inch, a hole 26 inches
deep was put down, chatged and fired
in 90 minutes. This hole was located
on the upper <portion of the stope, two
feet from the ‘corner of the drift. The
drill was inclined with the stope of the
ledge, and at an angle of about 22 degrees towards-the body of the rock.—
The character of the rock was wha,
would be called by miners ‘easy
ground” and good working rock. The
. result of the explosion was 64 cubic feet .
of rock thrown out and loosened. The
bottom of the holé was “cliambered,”
and the rock was shattered and torn
7] two feet inward-and-downward,so that
it was worked out easily with the pick
in all directions. Four other shots were
then fired, but they had little to do, but
did that well, Those four shits were
put in merely for the purpose of making room and places for heavier blasts.
The most effective—the sixth shot—
was ina holé 29 inclies deep and in
about the middle of the stone. It was
drilled single handed, charged and fired
in-one hour and thirty-five minutes.—
The rock was tough and close grained
trap, with the ledge underlyingit. We
never saw a hole put in similar rock
_. more quickly by two men than this
was by oneman. The rock was bound
on top and bottom, and a miner would
not consider that the hole had a fair.
show. We agreed that this
should be a test. The charge was a
heavy one, the cartridge weighing, paper and all, 5} ounces, and was worth
isfactory—the explosion chambering
the hole, shattering the rock, as before,
on every side, Black powder would
not have produced the same effect. A
similar hole putin by double hands
would have cost more than twice as
