fortyfive kilowatt hydroelectric
plant for light and power in the town
OF Chitina has just been put in opera
ton. It was built by the owners and
operators, o. A. and M. S. Nelson and
has been under construction for over
two years, and represents an outlay of
about $4,000, which is probably the
highest per kilowatt of any plant in
the world. Among it's distinctive fea-
lures is the fact that it is the farthest
north of any year round hydro-electric
plant on the continent.
Adjacent to the town of Chitina is
35 acre lake which is fed by several
mild springs that keep the lake from
freezing to any considerable depth
even in the coolest winter. This lake
is hundred feet in elevation above
the Copper river and separated from
it by ridge. BY driving 1,400 foot
tunnel through this ridge the water
from the lake is carried over to the
Copper river side where it is drop
ped down a hundred feet through two
hundred seventy feet of Is inch steel
pipe.
The tunnel was the biggest part of
the whole proposition. 1t was driven
through nine hundred feet of frozen
earth and loose rock and five hundred
feet of extremely hard, solid rock. The
earth and loose rock were thawed with
steam points. such as are used in the
Alaskan placer camps where the perm
anent frost, as at Chitina, is a few

FISHERMEN AGREE

hundred feet deep. The tunnel was
timbered to prevent it from caving in
where the warm water from the lake
have thawed the earth around it. The
solid rock was drilled with a power
drill operated with compressed air,
and blasted out with dynamite. Tony

the tunnel
The power plant consits of seven
ty-five horse power Leffel Turbine
with automatic Woodward governor
The turbine which has a speed of 1900
r. P. M. is direct connected EXETER,
making a very compact plant. The
generator delivers a 3 phase alternat-
ing current at 23OO volts, which is
carried half mile on a through wire
transmission line to the town where
it is distributed to numerous trans
formers that step it down to 110-220
vol current.
The rate for lighting current by met
er is 20 cents for the first fifteen kilo-
watts, seventeen cents for the next
ten and fourteen cents for all over
that in each month. Special rates for
motors of larger size. The average
rate for current is about II cents
which has to compete with gasoline
and kerosene at so cents a gallon.
1t was intended to have the plant in
operation by October 1, but due to
strained conditions of factories and
transportation the generator could not
be delivered on time and it was not
until December 20 that the first lights
were thrown on. The excessively cold
weather through all of December has
delayed things still further.
The plant can supply the present
demand for current but will be en-
larged when the demand exceeds its
capacity.
Chitina has electric lights.

this change Sunday School now be-

The outlook for its success is quite
