SHATTER CLIFF OF ROCK Will be Big Explosion Next Week on Colombia River WILL USE 120 TONS OF BUCK POWDER CONTRACTORS MAKING ROAD WAY FOR THE NORTHERN PACIFIC'S NEW ROAD. Explosion of the heaviest blast ever fired on 'the Pacific coast will occur on the north bank of the Columbia river, near Castle Rock, Wash., within a few weeks. One hundred and twenty tons of black powder will be used and the amount of basaltic rock to be thrown into the river is computed at 2,000,000 tons. Charles Ladd is to establish a rock quarry at Castle Rock. Gangs of rock drillers have been at work there for four months. The rock that will be loosened up is said to be the best for jetty purposes so far discovered in the northwest and the mass shattered from Scene From "A Fight for Millions" at the Keylor Grand Tuesday, Feb. 27. the bluff will probably be used on the jetty at the mouth of the Columbia when the next contract is let for the government. The face of the cliff to be blasted out if 520 feet long and 800 feet high. ! Three tunnels, each 125 feet long, have ibeen driven into this cliff and at the inner ends T shaped drifts 80 feet long have been run. In each end of these drifts 20 tons of black powder will be placed. The tunnels will then be rock filled to the mouth and tamped into solidity. The six powder mines will be fired simultaneously and the side of the bluff will be lifted bodily into the river. Peter Young, a rockworker of many years" experience, is superintendent of the work. Cost of this huge blast is estimated at $20,000. The largest blast fired heretofore in the northwest was that at Bugbee a few years ago, when 64 tons of powder were fired. This blast, it is 'stated, scattered the face of the bluff across the tracks of the Astoria railroad and' put a stop to traffic for several weeks. The powder is so deeply buried in the side of the mountain that there may be practically no report. Its ex plosive force will be abolished in rending the great bluff. Was Not Successful. DES MOINES, lowa, Feb. 24.—Fred Li. Shivers, of Camden, N. J., for whom Governor Cummins recently refused to grant extradition papers on an indict ment there for wife-desertion, declared in the district court here, yesterday, that his marriage was purely on the socialistic plan. He says that it was mutually understood that his wife was to pay half the expenses and bear her half of all the domestic burdens. The statement was elicited when he objected to paying alominy and attor ney's fees which his wife through her lawyers demanded. The socialistic plan, he said, made her too independent, and she refused to have his meals ready when he desired. Judge McVey allowed $25 attorney's fees for the woman and has set Feb ruary 23 as the date for Shivers to prove his case.
