This tvpc of drill is vwv fast. Many operators drill from 40 to 50 feet per hour. On account of the frequent partings, bore holes are usually drilled only to the desired depth, nnr below grade. While sum 11-diameter holes have to he spaced closer than well-drill holes, rbe greater' speed and economy ol operating hammer drills lar offsets rhi.s seeming disadvantage- Moreover, rhe smaller holes can be loaded higher with explosives and this, with the closer spacing, results in better pri mal)- fragmentation. - Two methods of primary blasting are used: First, firing single or trad ci pic rows of holes by means ol elect ric blasting caps; and second, single hole blasting by means of blasting caps and fuse. In the first method hides are spaced from four to five feet apart, depending upon the height of the bench being worked From thirty to four hundred holes mav be it red in a blast. The common practice is to fire from electric power lines but blasting machines aic also employed to some extent. When power current is used, caps are con nected ill parallel series, usually a maximum of twelve or thirteen caps to the series. The graph on this page illustrates wliar is commonly referred to as the single-hole method of blasting. Bv this method the drill lioles are pi a cal along rhe face of the stone at ix- to ^ foot intervals and are shot with blasting raps and fuse, leaving an irregular saw-toothed face. Each suc cessive row of bore holes is then located so as to work to the best advantage m the points Idt by thc prc\ u-us blasts. Sc smew hut licit \ icr charges arc necessary on account of the increase in burden resulting from the wider spacing of holes, but this is offset by the decreased drilling tosr Of the two methods in use, the sinn Iranrous firing of a whole row, or of a number of rows ui huJcs, is the morc general practice. Several kinds of explosives are employed successfully m this buffer blasting. Formerly forty per cent qua r*v gelatin was dicmostexteosivelv used. It gave the most satisfactory results both where the full ledge was blasted and also where the face was worked in benches. Particularly was this the case if the holes were wet and a large number of them were fired m one shot so that the charges loaded first had to he left: standing for a considerable length of nine. When the waiter resistance of a gel a tin was not needed, forty per cent Red Cross Extra was found verv satisfactory for bench blasting. When low-density ammonia dynamites were developed, they were substituted ro some extent for the fortv per cent ammonia explo sives previously used. Du Pont Extra C is one of rhese bulky ammonia dynamites whkh has given good re sults in bench blasting.

So plans were made fu visualize this, and the Board walk was selected as the place to put on rhe show. Manv considerations recommended tills choice. Millions of people from coast to coast visit this shore resort each year, l imy represent more nearly a cross-section of the nation's popu lation than is normal!v found outside of metropolitan centers. Moreover, scores of conventions arc lie Id there, and ?hi Kr win) attend are iisna IIv in a reiepnve mood to enjoy the airrae Pa o e Eig h t nuns of the place. At any rate, in Apr:It iyH\ a small store on the boardwalk was leased and in ir was assembled for display purposes a col lation uf finished merchandise, all of which was made wholly or in part of one or more du Pont products. At that time almost every hud y associated rhe namede Pont with two dasses of prckluets - commerce I explosives and propellent powders, which wa.s natural considering rh: t the company had specialized in pow der making for more than u century. That the company also produced lahrikoid and Pyralin was not well known. Why should du Punt be interested in them? The reason was obvious to eh cm ists, hut not to others. So the du Port r.xhihit offered a means of clarifying this and also of showing how repre sentative manufacturers customers of the company were fabricating these materials into a great \ arietv of salable merchandise. Interesting me DU WGmVMagazinQ displays were arranged and ihev artrue ted much Ijvurahle attention. Throngs or people visited the place daily and went a wav with an enurelv new conception of what chemistry means to industry and to the home. Following die World War further expansion of the company'.^ activities resulted in many additions to the glowing hum!) of du Pont pioducts. These, too, needed an introduction to the public, so merchandise dis plays featuring them were staged at Adamic City. The increased n uni bel aud variety of articles shown intensi fied interest in the exhibit, hut it eventually became embarrassing to the management because there was not enough room to arrange effective displays. That condition was corrected in 1910 when the du Pont Exhibit was removed to 112.1 iieq Boardwalk in t!ie H add on Had Block, the present location, which is near die Steel Pie:' and in rhe center of activities. Within a radius or three biosks are sixLvseven large hotels, not to mention manv other small hotels and boarding houses. Twice as much floor space was now available. With new and more commodious quarters and morewindow space the exhibit stall was able to arrange merchandise Jisplavs to better advantage than had been possible before. New accessions to the collection were made regularly, new attractions were developed and each year more people came to see thi'* unique, educational exhibit. During the past decade it has become one ol the outstanding Boarda;ilk attractions. For example, in 192.9, a representative rear, mure than 341,000 people from every state of die Union and many foreign coun tries made: a personal inspection of the merchandise displayed there. In the show windows of this exhibit there is always something new and interesting to see, and likewise inside. Changes are fre quently (Mile.

This accumulation in the river bed was becoming serious- Cities, towns, rail roads and farm lands were damaged. Albuquerque, with 2.7,000 inhabitants, was menaced annually. It was realized that if the vast amount of property moth in the area was to be protected, and if the agricultural lands were to be drained, some action had to be taken. For such a condition creates a definite flood menace, and it also waterlogs the lands of the rich valley so that they are unfit for cultivation. Each year the farming area has gradually become smaller, until today less than 40,000 acres of the 12.5,000 once subject to irrigation and culti vation arc tillable. But this waterburdened land is not the result of 1 the floods alone. Seepage is depleting the amount of irrigation water for the few acres that remain under cultivation. Work now under way consists of excavatingdrainageditchcsand build ing riverside levees. These l<wee$ are ten feet high, ten feet across the top and fifty feet at the base. When earth is piled up for them, a drainage ditch eight feet deep* sixteen feet wide at the bottom and forty feet wide at the top is made. Thus both operations are done at the expense of one. Sixteen drag-line excavators are used in this work, and nearly one million cubic yards of earth is moved each month. More than five million cubic yards of earth has already been moved, and twenty million more will he bankecl up before the job is finished. The flood control and drainage system will consist of approximately four liund red miles ofdrainage d Itches Pag e Tw el v e jArcc'.

South of Albuquerque the river is usual lv dry for a perioJ ol about forty durs during the summer months when irrigation water is most needed. This results in partial and sometimes total crop failures. In order to insure a plentiful supply throughout this period and to care for flood waters daring flu- spring, a dam will be constructed on the Rio Chaimi, one of the principal tribu taries of the Rio Grande. Known as HI \ ado, this dam will he built in a narrow can von of the river and in the mountainous section oi Rio Arriba Countv.ft will he i ,400 feet long, .75 feet high, and 6co feet wide at the base. When completed, ir will im pound icxgooo acre feel o; water. More than 1,000,000 pounds of steel and 170,000 sacks of cement will be used in its u instruction.

So Si,3^3,51 s was set aside and the Secretary of the Infrrinr entereJ into a lontract with the con servancy district. The remainder of the cost of ihe projeet is met through taxation on property within tfie district. A con servancy tax is assessed agaimt prop erry in proportion ro the amount of herein derived. Bonds are issued and retired through it. These bonds run for a period or fony-iive years, winch gives the taxpuveis easy terms, and with S67 *000,000 of taxable property within the district, the bondholders have the utmost security. There are ;s>000 landowners in the vallcv at present. Their holdings have been decreasing in value, naturalh, hut With drainage, irrigation and hood control established, die land will K worth much more.

On the Lincoln Highway near Everett, Pennsylvania, in Bedford (.anility, a magmheent rcinlorccd cui,crete bridge Is nearing umiplctior. "Flic place is known local I v as Juniata Crossings, and it is well named, too, for during the post. two hundred veins uiinumhered thousai:ds of people have crossed the Juniata at this point bv one means or another. The first crossing, according ro John ). Blaekwcklcr hi the BeJjorJ was a ford used by the Indians prior to 1730. It was located about i>ne mile down the rher from the present structure and was on rhe rmite of an old Indian trail that tra versed thccniircsiaic of Pcnnsvlvania Iron: east to west, and open a I the wa\' to Ohio and points beyond. The Lincoln 11 ighwav todav follows this route almost exactly. The second crossing of the Juniata - -a fern* was the result of the inge nuity of the white man. How long it was m operation is not definitely known, hut it was evidently in use nnril about 1763, when it gave wav to a chain bridge.

I he bridge was sus pended bv huge eljain* which were fastened in- large stone ahnfmeum on each side of die river. In die middle, a wooden trestle helped to support the weight* One of these abutments is still standing and is in a fairly good state of preservation. The approach to the pier is on a steep embankment, and here may he seen grooves in the rock six todies deep, worn by the passage of the early settlers' wagons. In the year 1818 these crude means of conquering the river were being replaced by more modern ones, A turnpike company had. completed a stone road in this section of the state, and. during that year a wooden cov ered bridge was built which is still in use. It is 368 feet long and was originally double track, separated by a partition of wooden beams. Some years later the eastern abutment was weakened by ao ice gorge, and when this half was rebuilt, it was made single track. There are only two spans to the bridgeTM-one, 1S3 feet, 8 indies long; the other, 185 feet, 4 inches, supported by a single pier sev !_l en and one-lialf feet wide at the top. "This bridge might be considered an uninteresting relic of the crude past, but to the people who were living at the time of its erection it must have been a marvel in architec ture, To them it must have seemed the final chapter in the even then long history of chain bridge, ferry and ford* To them, at last secure from Indian warfare, for the first time experiencing the internal improve ments and expansion of the new nation, this bridge must have seemed a symbol of permanency and safety, a kind of guarantee of the nation's future greatness. And a symbol of permanency it has B MB Wm : sal ' a*- .. dSnbjrf I::-" "V^WE OSCiB BH remained. For one hundred and twelve years it hats withstood the travel of the "front street of America " from the era of the horse and wagon to the present day of speeding automobiles and thundering trucks weighing tons* Truly it was an achievement to build a wooden bridge of this great length that would defy the dements of nature and die ravages of travel for more than a century. But the old covered bridge has served its daw Soon it will be stand ing only as a memorial to an earlv crossing of the Juniata River, for the concrete structure now under way will shortly be completed. Present-day travel ingh as necessitated the building of this modern bridge that will take care of traffic for years to come.
