SOME ACCURATE
STATISTICAL DATA
Something About the Water Power
Plant Being Constructed by the
Mississippi River Power Co.

The following information about
the big dam is from descriptive cir
cular issued by the Mississippi River
Power Co:
The Mississippi River Power com
pany has been organized to build and
operate an hydro-electric plant on
the Mississippi river at Keokuk,
Iowa, where careful estimates show
that 100000 delivered horse power can
be developed. Construction is now
progressing satisfactorily.
Location.
The dam, LOCKS and power hous will
be built at the Des Moines r'yer
rapids OF the Mississippi river at
Keokuk, Iowa, and Hamilton, Illinois.
This point is about half way between
Kansas City and Chicago and less
than 40 miles northwest of st. Louis.
Power Available.
Substantially the entire flow of the
Mississippi river can be utilized and

be approximately 100000 delivered

BIG PREPARATIONS
FOR A BIG PROJECT
Water Power People Installing Ma.
chinery That viii Make Haste
In Building the Big Dam.

The work of practical conservation
Is going on in the Mississippi river
at Keokuk, under the direction of
Engineer Hugh L. Cooper, chief en-
sineer, backed by the Mississippi
River Power Co. The production of a
maximum of 100000 electrical horse
power energy is an advance step in
the way of conservation. 1t is ap-
piled conservation and will do more
TO benefit the Mississippi valley in
custrial condition than anything here
tofore attempted. 1t is the purpose of
the builders to push the work with ali
possible speed and in order to ac-
complish such result modern ma
chinery is necessary. The installa-
ton Of such equipment is now in pro-
gress and something about it is told
in the following article:
Preparations for Rush Work.
Within two weeks the Mississippi
River Power Company will resume
its work of putting concrete in the
mile-wide dam across the Mississippi
river, to continue increasingly until
the mammoth wall extends to the
north line of the power house which
Is to be constructed on the Iowa side.
The construction plapt on the Hi
nois division is almost completed. 1t
will be when the large travelling crane
which is to play an important part
In the building process has been
erected. This traveller is now the
most interesting sight across the
river as it stands some sixty-five feet
nigh on the east abutment.
A Brief Description.
The entire traveller is built of bridge
steel and will weigh $50 tons. The
main body Is ninety feet long and the
cantalever arm is 156 feet in length
and will extend over four and one-half
piers, The two main columns are
placed in two sets OF double trucks and
the two end posts of the body carry
single truck each. BY means of
these trucks the travelling crane will
be moved out on the dam On two
nlnety-pound rails, the guage of which
VIII be 20 feet.
Underneath the traveller there will
be three tracks, two for cement trains

and the third set for the puddle ston

and the third set for the puddle stone
trains.
How Buckets Are Picked up.
lhere Will be three carriageways to
the crane, each carrying a carriage
which will pick up the concrete buck
cts holding yard and half of con-
crete. BY means of three hosting en-
gines the buckets can be carried to
any point on the cantalever arm and
let down into the forms to be dumped
where desired These carriages have
automatic catches which can be man.
ipulated by the hoist runner. The
bucket can be stopped any place and
then lowered.
This in general is an outline of the
workings of the large traveller which
will soon be seen in action.
The Route of Bucket.
To follow one bucket of concrete
from the stage of first formation to
the time it is deposited in the form
shows the numerous operations
through which the materials must
pass before the desired result is OBJ
tanned.
The beginning is In the quarry. The
rock is blasted out and loaded in dump
cars by ninety-ton steam shovel,
carrying a three-yard bucket From
the quarry it is taken TO the crushing
plant where 1t first goes through a
No. 10 crusher used to handle all
large pieces of rock. 1t passes from
the No. 10 down in a revolving screen
which separates all of the large rock
from the finer pieces which go into
the cement A hopper underneath the
screen carries the larger rock into
No. 712 crusher which mashes it up
in shape for the mixing plant. All
stone is carried by a 24-inch belt
conyeyor to the stone bin 1t is then
carried up a tramway by automatic
dump cars and dumped into the stone
bins on top of the mixing plant. 700
yards of this crushed stone will be
used every day
Following the Sand.
The sand which goes into the con-
crete will be taken from the large
bars at the mouth of the Des Moines
river and carried in trains to the sand
bins on the Illinois division where it
is taken in automatic dump cars up
the tramway About 500 cubic yards
of sand will be used.
The cement is stored in the ce-
ment warehouse which adjoins the
mixing plant.
The mixing plant consists of four
