When the rock blocking the pocket was exposed from the top th usual procedure was to place the powder in a sack, light the I use and lower the sack on to the rock with a rope. If this rock is covered up, aa often happens, the only alternative is to use lad- den to climb up from the nearest man- j way below, and place the bulldoze to the best advantage possible. There have been times when several cases of I powder were used to elear a jam of I boulders in one of these pockets. Thus, at this stage the saving in tramming expected from these pockets proved more an expense than an economy. As soon as the work could be done, a manway was driven up beside the pocket from the 530 level to the top, with opening into the pocket at intervals of about thirty feet. Equipped : thus, it was much easier to reach a I blockade, but the amount of powder required to keep the pocket open was still excessive, and many pieces passing readily through the pocket were too J large to go through the chute. These ' frequnntly had to be bulldozed at or near the ahute, making b g repair costs and wasting much powder. Sufcei-bful Experiments. The next experimenf~was to pass the ro ���!; going into a pocket over a grizzly. At iirst the iJea of having pieces of rock weighing fifty tons and more rolling on to a grizzly di 1 not seem practicable. The grizzly in^talla ,on was made at the 5.50 Uvel, A bulkhead was put in the pocket below the tunnel level. Pram a point below this bulkhead a raise was driven, b.taking into tne bottom of the tunnel, and grizzly rails we e tilted into this opening. A second raise was then driven from above the grizzly back into the pocket. This tatter raise diverted tne ore out of tlie pocitet on to the grizzly, and the lower raise returned it into tne pocket again below tne bulkticad. The pocket above this grizzly was further increa ed in size to lessen the possibility of blocking. The grizzly rails are eight feet long and they are placed three feel apart. Although iiiucii difficulty was experi- enced in procuring rads that would stai.d up to such violent service, ami the coat of renewals seem extravagant. the reduction in explosives and chute ie; ...rs, together with the adv���nlage oi uninterrupted operations, far surpass any of the disadvantages. The-ralli now used une made up of tw i l-"i I", truck rails bolted strong y together, and such i�� reinforced with a lxb-l.ieh tlat iron strip riveted on the bottom.

The wharf last week was the scene of Stewart wharf frcm the . an unfortunate accident when an elderly lady stepped through a hole in the rotted planking, breaking her ankle. The citizens have impo-uined the Dominion and Provincial Governments to get busy with the settlement of the responsibility for the approach and wharf, which, it is understood, has been done, but too late to prevent the serious accident which bef-.'lfa tourist. The picture is an early- winter scene with a covering of snow over the broken approach, but gives an idea of the length of the great trest e, which was built in 1S10 and has not been repaired since except for planks replaced by citizen^. W. Trayer, a young man who haH been employed at the diamond drill at the Forty-Nine mine up Salmon River valley, arrived from the property last night with a badly cut hand. Dr. M. W. Bruner attended him. Trayer fell while carrying a water pail made out of an oil can, and received a serious cut in the hand. Hi., arm was tied up so as to stop the bleeding and he started on the long mush to town from the mine, som twen y milcn. As he met no pack t ains nor wagons on the way, he was compelled to walk the e.itire distance, and arrived here in a cond tion of sxhaustion.

The Best Meats at the Lowest Prices RUPERT BRAND HAMS AND BACON NO DATE FOR NEW WHARF So far as can be learned no date for beginning construction of the new Stewart wharf has been set. The matter has been delayed, probably, by the negotiations between the Dominion and Provincial Governments with relation to the ownership and responsibility for the old works and the plans for the building of a roadway along the foot of the mountain clear into Stewart as a continuation of the ore highway, instead of using the long wooden approach, which was built in 1910.
