"Between 50 and 00 men were in the immediate area at the time of the blast," McDonald said. Approximately 250 men are em- ployed on the project between

Eldorado Springs and Plnecliff, six miles into the front range of the Rockies.

Rock walls oi the canyon rise to 3 height of 305 feet on both sides of South Boulder Creek. At the crest of the canyon walls it is 750 feet across.

A the time of the blast the men were loading, powder in holes that had been drilled on both sides of the canyon from bottom to top. Lightning apparently struck both sides, setting off dynamite charges abut 00 feet from the canyon floor.

Noble L. Benson, 29, of Nampg, operator cl a heavy earthmoving machine. Said "There was a. roar that sounded like thunder" as the dynamite was touched off. "Both sides of the canyon caved in." Nobel's heavy equipment covered by debris but he escaped serious injury. -

Huge Federal Surplus In Four Months This Year

ll.-Gen. Van Fleet Confident 8ih Army Will Win

U. S. EIGHTH. ARMIY. HEAD- QUAlVrl:RS, Korea Aug 25 -(sat- urday) - (AP)- Two Communist jets were destroyed in air combat Friday while the Eighth Army commander expressed optimism over ominous Red troops move- ments all along the Korean ground front.

Principal ground action was the week-long. inconclusive "Battle of the Hills" between South and North Koreans on the eastern front.

”The enemy cannot defeat the Eighth Army." Lt.-Gen. James A. Van Fleet said in an interview. ”He can bring in 1,000,000 troops but I'll be damned if he can slip- port them."

Van Fleet said his men's attitude "will turn to hate" and ”thcy will be tough fighters” if the armis- tice conference breakdown should prove final.

"They have spent the 61-day armistice lull in training," Van Fleet said. "We feel very confident. we can whip the enemy in the present battle area. . ."

As Van Fleet spoke, Allied ob- servers reported two large Bed troop concentrations were spotted north of Yanggu. near the eastern font hinge. Small Red groups were observed in movement all along the front from the "Iron Triangle" area in the centre clear to the east coast.

This could mean enemy pre- parations for an .offensive build- up or a concerted relieving of ex- hausted units.

Allied air and artillery slashed at one force of about 1,000 Reds. with 200 trucks seen movingl south above Yunggu.

Freckle-Faced Boy first Al c.ii. Ex. i

Thousands streamed in behind young Duhumcl who had slept outside one of the gates tlirougii out the night to gain the honor of "first" at the 1951 "ex". Some 2000.000 persons were expect:-ri for the first day. Nearly 8.000.000 likely will attend in the next 1-! days.

Finance Minister Abbott forecast revenues of 53.730.030.000 and ex- penditurcs, of 53.700.000.000 for a surplus of 330. .000. But today' a report from t e treasury dis- closed that in the first four moiillis of the year ending March 81 next. revenues totalled sl,202.991.533and expenditures s794,012.373. leaving I surplus of S408.9'I9.160.

In the first four months of the 1950-51 fiscal year, the surplus totalled s252.000.000. The govern- ment ended the year with a sur- plus of s2ixr.ooo,ooo, although only 515000.000 had been forecast.

Canada's record surplus was compiled in 1947-40 and totalled t670.000.000.

The treasury report said the in- creased revenues reflected some of the higher taxes imposed last year and some of those in the 1051 budget.

The revcnuu of approximately 51.200.000.000 for the four-month period compared with t061.800.000 for the corresponding period of last year. an increase of 5341.200.-
