Heuer is experimenting with various kines of cartridges sent for trial. The Val- can, the dynamite, gun cotton, and the Vig- orite, a naphthaline product, have all been tested near the river on the Astoria shore, the mode being to bore from 12 to 15 feet in the rocks, at an angle of 45 degrees, and then to load with the explosive to be testet. The relative destructive power of the various agents pg oe ony may be judged by the great heaps of broken rock that mark the spots where the blasts have been made. It able that the choice of explosives will lie between gun cotton and dynamite. Car- tridges of the latter are 4 preparatory to immersion, to test their im- rviousness to water.
