DISCOURSES ON DYNAMITE DYNAMICS
APROPOS THE TAFT
DEMONSTRATION.
Editor County Record: ?
I see your correspondent from Taft
has given a very good account of the
experimental dynamite work in ditch
blasting and blowing out stumps.
But I find that varying conditions
will give a variety of results in
blasting out a canal, for it is only in
big ditches or canals that explosives
will help economically. It is too expensive
for common plantation
ditches, or even small stumps, but
will hasten the extermination of
large stumps,although somewhat expensive.
A hole is bored in the
ground with a common 2-inch auger
about 3 feet slanting, so as to get
near the tap root of the stump; put
in the hole 4 or 5 half-pound charges
of the dynamite, set fire to a fuse
and run! Fifty or sixty yards is generally
a safe distance. These cartridges
cost 9 cents apiece. I think
it would greatly assist in digging
canals or large ditches through
swamps or hard ground.
Trees,stumps, roots, etc, would be
torn out and the remaining loosened
earth shoveled out by hand. A common
2-inch auger hole 3 feet deep at
intervals of 18 or 20 inches, for a
distance of perhaps 30 or 40 feet,and
one half-pound cartridge inserted to
the bottom and filled with earth in
each hole, then explode the middle
charge with a lighted fuse, and the
whole number of charges appear to
explode simultaneously.
But the ground was sandy at Taft,
in that mud and water,and the holes
seemed to cave in somewhat, so the
dynamite did not get deep enough
and the result was a rather shallow
excavation at some points. When
the ditch or canal is to be a wide
one, two or more parallel lines of
holes are to be bored to certain distances
and exploded.
Some of the people said there were
j two kinds of "din-na-mite",one kind
I would explode downward and the
j other would explode upward; sol
would suggest that for ditching we
| had better use the kind that explodes
^ft?-n\vnrf] and let it root out an ex
j cavation. especially when the caving
isand prevents getting the charge
I deep enough. 1 don't know what
j kind they had there that day, but if
j it was the kind that explodes down!
ward, it was worse than a kicking
i mule,for mud and water and general
debris tlew upward to the tree tops
and fell in showers all around; so we
must watch and don't get behind the
kicking kind, for it will tear up
things. Some called it "din-na-nlite",
some said it was dy-na-mite, but 1
think it must have been dy-namighty
from the dynamic power it
displayed.
1 hope the company will harness
it and make it dig central canals
throughout the level stretches of the
miles and leagues of that pine forest,so
that every poor man can drain
his fields into the central canal, for
that level land will never wash out,
nor wear out till the sand rots. That
section has a great future!
We enjoyed the free ride, as well
as the ride from Kingstree 10 juanes,
and 1 always feel that I want to compliment
the Coast Line for its
smooth, glossy railroad track and silent-gliding
trains,and to pull my hat
