following description OF new water
wheel recently invented:
Mr.. John Ross, of this city, has in
vented wheel which, within itself,
promises to solve the water problem
Of the Snake and make il easy to
utilize the waters Of that great stream.
Within the past few years many
wheels have been invented aud a
trial Of them made, but to date moth
ing has been made to succeed. But
the wheel just invented by Mr.. Ross
IL certainly the one to take the place
Of all others, and the one that will, IN
the long run, ws believe, do the work
for which it hss been Designed. The
plan Of the whee! is very simple,
there bong but few parts to it, and
any one will be able TO operate IT,
There will be two wheels, each nine
fest in diameter, with paddles three
and half feet long, TO be fastened to
an eighteen inch band, that being the
width Of tho wheel. The paddles
will be made concave, 80 that the
water striking them will force its
way along, giving 70 each wheel the
force Of l5-horse power. The wheels,
together with all the frame work
within which they are placed, will be
made Of iron, and securely fastened
70 boat shaped concern which is CAL
calatsd TO ride on top Of the water.
The boat will be 20 feet wide by 36
feet long. with tonnage capacity OF
about six tons. There will be but
two pullsys to tho whole thing, one
on the bottom and tho other on the
top, the top one to be connected
with the pump. II - calculated the
power Of the two wheels will force
the water, about 400 miners inches, 4
height Of 30 feet. The total cost Of
: wheel will be about 1880, and q,
thsrs Is nothing about ono that will
wear, machine will last almost a
life timc. Mr.. Ross will commences
the construction Of mis- 6rst wheel
about the first Of March, and about
thirty days time will be required in
tho construction OF It. He will build
the FIRST one to be operated OH the
bar about four miles below the Grand
View ferry. and II nothing happens
will have it In complete operation by
tho first to the tenth Of April. Mr.
Ross has applied for . patent, oil
communications relative to the sans
proving perfectly satisfactory. Ev.
