COMPLETING OF A NEW ENTER
PRISE
What IL Being Done at the East End of
the Dam. Thousands of Dollars In the
Solid Foundations

Any one interested in the utilizing of Au-
gusta's vast water power will take pleasure
in visiting the work that has been pushed for
ward during the long winter. Persons see a
large manufacturing structure busy with the
hum Of machinery, and consider it grand, al
most wonderful. They do this too, just from
= superficial look. How much the magnitude
would be increased could they but see it as it
stands completed and view in one whole, all
the details from the location of the building
site to the completion of the structure.
Could see the excavation being made, the
tons and tons Of granite being placed in the
foundation, and the superstructure rising bit
by bit. The building in process of erection
on the east end of the dam by the Edwards
Co. is the scene of the most activity
of any place in the city just at
present. 1t was found necessary to continue
the work throughout the winter months,
thereby increasing the expense by about
Sl5 900. There is as wide a difference
between old time and modern wheel-pits a.
Yankee ingenuity at its best. The excavation
is eight feet deeper than was made for the
old mill which was built there some fifty
years ago, and nsteal OF a wooden wheel pit
the walls and foundations are of Maine
granite. Mr.. Cole, agent of the Edwards
company, was present and kindly pointed
out to the scribe some of the features which
at the present advanced stage of the work are
concealed. Quicksands were found in dig
ging SO that the engineering for walls and foun
dations was found to be quite difficult, How
ever, everything has been successfully
carried through and the danger of large
spring freshet, which had the water broke
through above the dam would have entailed
a loss to the company of over $500, 900, is
safely past. Over 900 has already been
expended. About fifty men are now at work,
the force having been recently reduced. On
the front of the wheel pit is a solid granite
wall twelve feet thick. The floors are of
granite built upon with layers of heavy limb
ers fastened together, with iron rods. There
are to be nine Holmes water wheels in the
pit capable of flu rnishing 100 horse power.
This number includes the two wheels which
to furnish power to the electric light station
to be built just above the present mill In
the words of gentleman present, "a pulp
mill eats up tremendous amount of power
1t will require 1000 horse power to supply
that part of the mill where
pulp is to be manufactured. The building is
to be three stories in height and 240 feet
long by 60 feet wide. The first floor will be
wholly taken up by the pulp mill. There
will also be basement on the front. The
building being situated so near the railroad
will require but short side track to reach it.
Work on the first floor has already begun
and it is thought that it will be ready for the
pulp company to occupy in about two weeks,
providing the weather is favorable to the
pushing of the work,

"Well, he's been burned out at some hotel
and that bulge is caused by a coil of rope.
He's what we used to call at hotel where |
once worked a cable crank " You can't
mistake them. They have been burned out
at some place sometime and don't propose to
take similar chances"
"How do you know that's rope-isntitj just

II can tell by the fold of the leather. A
coil of rope always acts the same way on a
valse."

at work last summer He was as nervous as
a fish out of water friend of mine spotted
him and we got up job on him. That night
we got into a empty room above his and
yelled fire in deep tones down the chimney.
His bed headed towards the open fire place
in his room, and at the first alarm he was
out of bed and the coil of rope which he had
wound around the foot board was thrown
out of the window. In another minute he
was wandering about on the lawn below IN
robe de mutt, and we imagination it was
not light enough to tell clearly-a dazed
look on his face He finally got back to
his room, but he was so worked up about the
matter that he left the next day. Well I've

suppose if should ever have the horrible
experience of being cut off in burning
building, should get rope longer than any
of them"
