REMARKABLE AOUEDUCT
In Australia To Be 32S Miles Long
and Will Cost $40, 100000.
lPhiIadrlnhia Record


For many years the great gold telcs
OF the famous COOlgardie mining
districr of Western Australia have
been suffering seriously from the lack
OF an adequate water supply. 1t was
by no means an uncommon occurrence
10 pay as much as % cents for gallon
of drinking water. Hotel keepers IN
many towns and villages were wont TO
guard more jealOusly the manner IN
which the customer helped himself TO
the water than to the whiskey bottle
Even the richest mine owners In
COolgardie were not able to take a
bath. This necessity for procuring an
adequate and permanent water supply
had forced itself so strongly upon the
attention of the Government that
finally, after many prelimlnaries, the
Government decided to accept and
carry out a plan of the engineer In
chief Of the colony for daily supply
of 5000, 900 gallons of water. In
| July. 1896. the report was presented
to Parliament with bill authorizing
the raising of loan of S16, 800. 600 for
the scheme. The plan was finally
adopted and work on the immense
scheme was started In 1898. The
following figures will give an idea of
the magnitude Of the huge enterprise.
According to the report accepted
and the work carried out a pipe line
had to be constructed over total
length of no less than 32S miles. The
pipes are of steel and have a diameter
of 30 inches. The velocity of the
water is 9, 124 feet per second, while
the weight of water to be raised per
day is %, 900 tons. The horse power OF
the engines to carry out this work is
6, 1877 and the quantity Of water to be
pumped per day of "a hours has been
fixed at 3, 800. 900 gallons. One of the
reservoirs-the Helena reservolr-cost
in the nelghborhood of 81, 700, 600.
The cost of the pipes alone was nearly
$11. 900, 900.
The whole undertaking is now near
ing completion, and it is hoped that
within menth or SO the Coolgardie
gold fields will be provided with an
abundant supply of water, which in
all proba bllity will give new
impetus to the important mining
lndustry..in that section of Australia.
