MINNESOTA RIVERS
FLOW MEASURED
Power Possibilities Below Man
kato Shown by Daily Gage
Readings.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Dec. 27.--Among the
various measurement stations main
Gained by the photographic branch Of
the United States geological survey in
Minnesota, one of the most Interesting
in it's results is that on the Minnesota
tablished May 20, 1908, and is located
at Sibley Park, one mile below the high
way and railroad bridges crossing Blue
earth river, one and half miles above
the city bridge at Mankato. . .
The area contributing to- the Min
nesota river above Mankato is about
thirteen thousand four hundred square
miles in extent, giving a considerable
flow which can be used for waterpowers
and water supply purposes The gage
set at the Mankato station is verti-
cal timber fastened to post which is
driven into the river bed a few feet
from the right bank. This gage is read
once each day by George p. Blake Of
Mankato
Measurements Of the flow of the
stream are made with a current meter,
the operator working from a car which
is suspended over the river by cable
stretched from one bank to the other.
The report of the photographic branch
for the year 1903 shows that the flow of
the river varied from 1879 to 1924
cubic feet per second, while the gage
height varied between 81 and 1916 feet.
A study of the flow of the Minnesota
river yields important facts concerning
the relation of rainfall to stream flow,
which is of value in agricultural sec
= tions. 1t also affords data for the de-
termination of the amount of water
available for domestic use by cities and
towns, and finally, the data are indispen-
sabe in determining and planning fo1
development Of water power.
The measurements already made show
that for each foot of fall which can be
: developed by placing dams in the river
7 at or below Mankato, horsepower
varying from 5 Oto 1900 can be OBJ.
tanned. These figures represent ex
treme conditions and as the river is
fairly steady in it's flow, it is probable
that there can be developed with profit
horsepower sufficient to provide fo1
500 gross horsepower per foot of fall
for the greater part of the year.
The Investigations of the geological
survey have been continued during the
year 1904, and report concerning them
will be forthcoming within a short
time.
