THE CUMBERLAND RIVER
To Be Harnessed By Dam Al Falls Near
Williamsburg Project Backed By
Capitalists
ALREADY FORMED SAYS AMENDMENT.

New York. Feb. 2.-In addition
to Harvesting the Cumberland river
falls in Kentucky, the Niagara of the
south, a syndicate has been formed
here for the purpose Of constructing
huge electro-c hemical reduction works
which will be the first plant of their
description on the other side of the
Mason and Dixon line. The Cumber-
land projects will involve an expendi-
ture not far short Of So, 500, 900.
The enterprise is primarily backed
by William F. Cox and associates.
Among the other men chiefly inter-
ested are s. S. Wetmore. of Phlla-
delphia, and S. L. Merchant, of Bos-
ton.
Arthur Geisler, the New York con-
sulting engineer, is now engaged in
drawing up the plans for the con-
struction. and equipment Of the
powerhouse and reduction works.
The initial capacity Of the hydro
electric plant will be 10000 horse
power, practically all Of which will
be coptumed by the chemical works
most Of the balance being available
for the Louisville district.
The power schemes embraces the
building OF q big dam across the
Cumberland river, which will have a
capacity Of over 2, 900, 900 cubic feet,
of wate-. The dam will back the
wateH up to Williamsburg, % miles
distant. Included in the storage ca
pacity will be parts Of the tributary
river between the falls and Williams
burg. Z
flumiuup, it is said, will be the
principal production Of the reduction
works. It is expected that both the
power and manufacturing plants will
be in full operation inside Of eighteen
months.
