The stripping brings you down to the ledges of lime stone and shale from which cement must be made. Large steel drills follow. Powerfully, patiently, they chip their way through ledges that are often 30 feet thick. In a year, one of th ese drills will bore through miles of solid rock. < Dynamite comes next—75 pounds to a hole — more than 15 million pounds of it for the entire industry last year.
