Inj one of the mines near town the workcourse would be no objection to the ~~~“laims, and if it does the immense €x' of giant powder did as much execution Tue Giaxt Powpen.—We would! . cept the giant powder of which so much has been recently said without a thorents have been tried is pronounced far superior to any material im use for blasting, Experiments have also been tried in the mines this locality, and although it has not yet been fully tested the partial tests “pave been far from satisfactory in quartz ‘mimes. It is claimed for the powder ‘that itleaves no smoke or sfhell. This as gunpowder, but when set off it gen’ @rates strong fumes of nitric acid which men had to leave on account of these gases generated. The smoke may be detected by burning a small quantity of the powder with a match. This of r for surface blasting in the gravel ecution claimed for it, miners can well: afford to get out of the way until the}. gasesescape. In the Pitteburg minc, gn the first day's trial; nearly every . ey Pdr in blew the tamping out without doing any damage to the hard rock, and the same rock was afterwards broken with gunpowder. In these experiments the amount of giant ‘powder which is pronounced by the inventor equal to the amount of gunpowder usually discharged was used. The Grass Valley National says, “one blast in the North Star mine as three charges of ordinary powder.” If, as is claimed for the powder, that it exerts greatest force where there is greatest resistance, and itis unn to tamp it, the Miners will find it superior to any known material for mining. Of course we do not deem the experiments made as conclusive for or against the powder. It is being tested now in various r 1 Saeaaebea, when Butler introduced two _ settled purpose to resist the policy of mines of the county, ‘and it would be well for miners to wait until the result is known, before investing largely in the giant powder.
