and mining interests, including Sena-
tor Clark, H. II. Rogers. eX-Gov, Haul
ser ana others, who represent the Mis-
souri, River Power company. have ar
ranged with the stone & Webster Ell
cheering Corporation of Boston for
the development of the immense water
power resources in the canyons of the
upper Missouri river i'm Montana on a
scale exceeding anything that has yet
been attempted there. The plans pro.
vide ultimately for the transformation
of $1,000 horsepower into electrical ener-
gy by means of two dams. and the bulk
OF this power viii be furnished the
mines in the Butte and Helena dis
tricts.
1t is estimated that the construction
work planned will cost $4,000, 600, and
1t will be done in two stages. The first
is IN connection with 10000 horsepow-
er dam at Hauser lake, 60 miles from
Butte. This work will begin immedl-
ately.
Subsequently 1t is planned to build
ain immense new dam nearly one-halt
mile long and ITO feet In height to-
gether with 10000 horsepower hydro
electric plant at Wolf creek, few
miles above Hauser lake. From this
plant high tension transmission lines
will deliver power to Butte and He
lena.
This Is believed to be the largest pro-
jeet of the kind undertaken since in
lerest in big developments began to lag
over year ago.
