Thej-yich gold ore in its native state is now being dumped out along this car track ^waiting the com pletion of the reduction mills and fur naces. Instead of using a fuse and cap to explode the dynamite charges in loosening up the ore, they' have an electric battery in the engine room connecting a wire which goes down in the mines and is attached-to the charge. Also a small chord is placed in the shaft which is touched by-some one in the mine.
