various towas and villages desiring it
for ligating or power. The following
from the Chattanooga Daily Times,
of Monday, gives good account of
what has been done, and what will be
done now that the machinery for the
work has been installed. 1t is a big
enterprise and the two years work just
completed has been largely preparatory
for the big things yet to be done.
The Times writer gives the dimen-
sions of the work carefully, and read
ers of the article which follows, will
readily see that great deal has been
done, and that work of surprising
magnitude has yet to be done.
After nearly two years of what
might be termed preparatory work,
the lock and dam at Hales Bar is Just
now ready for the actual construction
of the dam across the river and the
lock on the right hand side. Enor-
nous cable ways costing hundreds of
dollars, immense concrete mixers,
which are the largest in this section,
and which take part of their material
from solid mountains of rock, a score
or more of huge engines burning ma
ny tons of coal day, a cofferdam
which has required many months for
its completion, numerous hoisting ma
chimes, "cups" which lift cubic yard
of dirt at one time, and many other
machines and devices have been in
stalled and are now ready to start in
earnest the work on Chattanooga S
big $3, 900, 900 project.
'For almost two years the work has
been under way on this great enter.
prise and there has been some criti
cism because of the evident slowness
on the job. A visit to the site, and 8
study of facts and figures is enough
however, to convince the most skepti
cal that the progress of the work viii
be rapid from now on.
with the exception of about hall

wall which will extend from the enc

will be about ?, zoe cubic yards of dirt
removed in this excavation.
"Work will next be started ON the
construction of the lock on the right
side of the river. An immense Golfer

tanning 5000 feet of materially has
been constructed, so that both the land
and the water wall can be built with
ont fear of washoUt from the river.
The land wall will be 550 feet and will
be concreted to the solid rock wall of
the mountain. The river wall will be
$50 feet long, it win be 25 feet in
width at the top and forty feet at the
bottom, and will be constructed of sol
id concrete. 1t is estimated that near
ly 80, 600 yards of concrete will be as
ed in the construction of these two
wallis. The lock will be large enough
to allow a ship So feet in width and

1.-The construction of the dam will
follow the completion of the lock. The
dam will be POE feet in length and
composed entirely of concrete and
stone. 1t will be from forty to sixty
feet in heigth, varying according to
the rise and fall in the river bed, and
will be 9 feet in width at the top and
from forty to sixty feet in width at its
foundations. There will be tunnel
six and one half feet in height and
two and one half feet in width, run
ming from the power house on one side
to the lock ON the other.
"The power house and its equip
ment of generators and dynamos which
will send SO. 600 horse power to Chat
tanooga daily, will be taken up and
fini she'd last. Nothing has been done
towards its construction as yet.
Conservative estimates place the
time of completion of the lock and
dam at, from two to four years from
July 1, 1907. The variance in these
estimates is based on the luck-good or
bad-which the contractors meet with.
If their "luck" is good, the great pro-
iect may be completed in two years,
if high tides and scarcity of labor
should continue to conspire against
them, four years may be required to
finish the enterprise.
I'm order that the public may real
ize what an enormous amount OF
equipment the Oliver Gunter Contract
ing company has on the work, the
following partial list is given:
Three cable ways, each capable of
lifting a small steam shovel,
Three concrete mixers, capacity one

Twelve or fifteen steam derricks.
Three travelling cranes (for cable

Three locomotives and fifty or more
cart cars.
Twenty stationary engines.
Several pile drivers.
One steam, two gasoline boats ant
several barges.
