HELL GATE. Whe Work Goes Bravoly On—What Has Been Accomplished~The Difficulties in the ‘Way—'‘Blo:som Rock” Nota ‘‘Cir- cumstance” in Comparison— Views of an Expert. ‘The accounts, both by telegraph and mail, récelved and published by the HERALD, of the destruction of Blossom Rock in the harbor of San Fran¢isco at one terrific blow, have very naturally ved publio curiosity and even anxiety as to what is being done ‘with Hell Gate. For nearly twenty years, so people began toftalk, practical and theoretical engineers have been at work, almostinnumeérabie devices were tried, and what was the result? The rocks which ob- ‘struct, or atleast hinder and delay navigation, at Hell Gate, and render it dangerous, are still there to nearly their former extent, while an energetic German en- gincer, after scarcely more than six months of work, relieved the harbor of San Francisco of one of its most dangerous impediments, Why, sald these wame people, cannot the same system, which blew Blossom Rock into atams at one charge, be tried here? Why could not Hell Gate be cleared also by ‘submarine mining and blasting from below f ‘Theorizing on such a subject flows very glibly from the lips of people not accustomed to the searching inquiry demanded by the laws of the exact sciences, "rhese compel the taking into careful consideration all the circumstances of the case and its surrounding conditions. And after such inquiry tt has generally been found that no two cases to be operated upon are ever alike, and that means which proved emi- nently successful in one, wiil b e but a useless waste of time and money in another, This istrue of the subject now under consideration. Blossom Rock, which now is no more, if the reports received be fully true, when compared with the rocks at Hell Gate, was like a sheep to an elephant, The sub- joined communication, from one who lias tried his energies on some of the rocks at Hell Gate, gives several reasons why the process so successful mm San Francisco harbor m be found imprac- ‘cable here. Some others may yet be added. Blossom Rock contained only about 6,000 cubic yards of sandstone, while the rock at Hallett’s Point alone, on which General Newion 13 now at work, has 80,000 cubic yards of stone as hard &s gnelss, the weight of which averages from 160 to 10 pounds per cubic foot. Another rock at Hell Gate, and that the most dangerous of the passage, the “Gridiron,” measures over 150,000 cubic yards of the same quality of stone. These figures of them- selves show the great difference between the work done here and tat lately accomplished witn Biossom WHAT 1S BEING DONE. Yet, this tunnel.ing process has been adopted by General New‘on in his etforts to remove the rocks at Haliett’s Point, He has bullt a substantial coffer dam, abutting on dry land, over so much of the rock ‘a# is usually visible at iow water. This dam, being of irregular shape, is minety-oue feet in width In one @irection, and 140 in another, where it is widest. ‘Within this dam, and almost to Its full extent inside, a shaft has been sunk into the rock to the depth of twenty-four fect below low water and about six thousand cubic yards of rock have been removed— as much as the whole of Blossom Rock contained. ‘This shait will have to be excavated to a iurther depth of a little more than one foot, when the “devel”’ wilt have been reached and the mining of the “chambers” will commence. Those chambers will run out under the rock from the shaft described above as a central point, like the radii of a circle. When they are completed, the intervening rocks will be blasted or quarried out in order to = one large chamber under the whole of the rock, leaving a roof above of about ten feet in thickness, supported be- low by temporary props, ‘fhis, it 1s calculated, will de strong enough to resist the pressure of the water from above and on the sides. From the point where the inside of the roof or this chamber touches the level or floor, the drilling process will used exclusively, while the Whole mass, under which the chamber i8 excavated, will biown up at one Gtscharge of nitro-glycerine, Colonel Von Schmidt used twenty- four tons of gunpowder on Blossom Rock. If the fame guantity, in proportion, were employed on the rock at Hallett's Point, 400 tons would be required, the explosion of which would destroy Astoria, Ra- Vvenswood, Harlem ana a good part of Yorkville and change into wrecks the public bultdings on Ward's Agland and probably on Blackwell's Island al-o, No such quantity of explosive material is led, how- ever, since much less will do the same work-—lemol- ish Hallett’s Point rock Aes aa and injure not a building tn the neighborhood. It is but proper to say, however, that the opera- Uons at Hallett’s Point are carried on somewhat tn the light of anexperiment. Two things are takea into account—the expense and oa ee of the work. This subaqueous mining process, it is believed, nas be found the cheapest method, while the ariting mode might do quicker work. If these calculations should be found correct, M% ts probable that when the time comes to remove the Gridiron, that hileous monster of an obstacle to navigation, both methods may be employed. The smaller rocks it is hoped to get rid of while work is progresssing on these two huge 0- structions, Hallett’s Point and the Gridiron, while the Hog’s Back and other similar places will be sur- rounded by rubbie walls, which will prevent vessels from being drawn upon them by the rapid current, Ways’ Keef and Shelldrake are no longer a terror to vessels of less than eighteen feet draft. Professor Maillefert has been at work upon them with his sur- face blasts, and has so far reduced their size that there is now a depth of eighteen feet upon them at Jow water. His contract having expired and not being renewed, the Professor has ceased operations, General Newton thinks that the passage of Hell Gate wili be entirely cleared and rendered safe for nivigation by the plan pursued by nim in about four years it Congre-s be not too miserly in the appro- priation of the necessary funds, Views of an Expert. To THE Eprror oF THE HERALD:— It has been suggested from several sources, and among themin the HERALD, that the removal of Bivssom Rock in San Francisco harbor by chamber- ing underthe rock and blowing it up by a heavy mine of powder at a single explosion, should afford hint for the removal of some of the rocks at Hell Gate. Acomparison of the two situations will give us some light on the sabject. Blossom Rock was in ‘the open harbor or bay of San Francisco, The two nearest points are Meigs’ whari, nearly a mile, and Alcatraz light, nearly a mile and a quarter distant, Hell Gate isa narrow passage, not more than 8u0 yards from Hajlett’s Point to Ward’s Island. Vessels could avoid Blossom Rock, while Heil Gate is often crowded with sail, so thit the masts resemble a forest. Last August I counted ninety-six vessels passing through this narrow channel with- in a single hour. Blossom =Rock = was five and a hall feet only below the surface at low tide, comparatively ievel and uniform in surface, and a porous friable sandstone, easily penetrated. No currents other than an ordinary tide swell Inaspace so broad ana open. In Hell Gate the rock is @ granite, with heavy seams of quartz, and in some places partaking of the texture and hardness of gneiss. A current sweeps over these rocks, rough, jagged and seamy, atarate of enrtit and @ half mies an hour, giving the appeatauce of a huge millrace as the water dashes in whirls aud eddies over and be- yond the rocks. The dept of this flerce current ‘over most of the channel rocks is from fourteen to twenty feet at low water. Now, even were 1t possi- ble, on one of these ragged rocks, at such a depth and with such a current, to place an tron cyliader or coffer dun and fasten and calk it to the rock 80 as to exclude the water from tne inside, how long is it reasonable to suppose it would stand there before some vessel would come in contact with it? And if twenty to filty men were excavating the shaft within such @ cylinder Would not the slightest collision make a bine a for every soul of them? Does the public wish such acalamity? This pian of re- moving submarine rocks is really not a novel one with San Francisco. As early as Novem: ber, 1868, the writer discussed with General Newton e’ feasibility of such @ plan for Huilett’s Point. ‘This is the most practicable if not the only practl- cable place in Heil Gate for sucha procedure. Here we have a promontory running out from the land and dipping down under the waters of the channel. A wooden coffer dam has been constructed against the shore upon the part of the rock bare at low Water, Within this dam the rock iy being excavated the same as quarrying on land. When a level cor- responding to twenty-five feet below low water has ‘been reached it is proposed by General Newton to try how far galleries for a powder mine under the Femainder of the rec! can be made available or ‘o the time and cost of removing subaqueous Tock by this method, it ts certainty much aIOWee! and aeceeay twive a8 expensive as urilling and blast eon : acted in situations where both processes are The removal of Blossom Rock shows this in part. In ihe early part of March, 1869, Colonel Williamson, United States Eagincer at San Francisco, sent me a detailed plan and profile drawing of Blossom Rock, ‘with a view of obtaining a bid forits removal. Bida ‘were to be opened April 15, 1869. The matter passed out of mind until it was announced that the great blast wouid take place in April of this year. i am <orreetly informed there was available for the re- moval o! this rock $150,000. It is stated that 40,000 Hic feet of rock were excavated from within the cotter dam, making 1,482 cubic yards, and tnat five months were consumed in doing it. Six mouths of time previous to this, or from the 16th of May, 1889, miust be udded for preparation. This amount of rock has been removed from Hailett’s Point in a twenty-live feet under the water sa00 er Month, even under the re He ey Gate and at a cost per cubic yard one-half that of Blossom Rock. ‘This economy of i pperauons will save to the government at it $2,600,000 it carry- goat be imamgabe wort of ngkoring He Gate : NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY.

The gold market was exceedingly dull in the absence of speculative interest. With the early weakness in exchange the price declined to 114%, between which point and 1145 it was steady all day. The lower ruling of the premium is due, in a mea- sure, to the clearing up of the stories regarding the action of the Prussian Stock Exchanges with refe- rence to American securities, One private despatch saysi— i BERLIN, May 5, 1870, Merchants’ Board cautions against railroad bonds of which interests are not warranted by the United States government. Another despatcn is more explicit:— Berwin, May 5, 1870. Seniors of the Berlin Stock Exchange warn the public about as follows:—We are informed by reliable sources that, to the prejudice of the German public, the introduction of unsafe American securities on still larger scale than heretofore is intended. This tnduces us to caution the puvlic against the purchase of American securities, especially of American rail- Way mortgage bonds, if not guaranteed by the United States government.
