A TRIP THROUGH THE BIG HORN
CANYON-ITS RESOURCES

To study the power available on Big
Horn River between Lowell, Wyo., and
Hardin, Mont, two engineers, ac-
companied by George Olsen of Lowell,
Wyo., and w. H. Dayhof of Miles
City, Mont, made a trip through the
canyon in 1921. This was the sixth
party to traverse the canyon if ere
dence is given to the story that the
first trip was made by soldier who,
I to escape the Indians, went through
the canyon on log. The power re-
port is based on information obtained
on the trip, on topographic maps of
the canyon prepared by A. w. F.
! Koch, of Hardin, Mont, engineer of
, the Big Horn Canyon Irrigation and
Power Co., on stream-fow records OBJ
| tanned at Hardin, Mont, for the period
1905 to 1920, and on other informa-
ton available in the Interior Depart
ment.
In the stretches above and below
the canyon the Big Horn flows thro
broad basins in which there are irri-
gated lands on both sides of the river
and bench lands farther back. The
canyon itself lies in a huge fold of
the rock beds that form the north end
of the Big Horn Mountains. Thro
this fold the river has cut its winding
way in deep, narrow gorge so miles
long, which begins miles south of
the Montana Wyoming boundary.
A trip through the canyon gives the
traveller some of the sensations felt by
an explorer who every day faces the
unknown, for, once in the canyon, he
can not see far ahead because the
channel is tortuous. The bottom of
the gorge is completely filled by the
river, from which bare walls of rock
rise on both sides to heights of 1000
or $500 feet, and the traveller can
find his way out by going on with the
current to meet whatever peril may
await him at the next bend. At each
bend the matter of first concern is the
rapids, which can be heard before they
can be seen. In. these rapids the wa
ter surges over and around huge boul-
ders that have dropped from the cliffs
above.
After the rapids are passed the
traveller finds time to look up at the
canyon walls, which are built of thick
horizontal layers of limestone of vari-
Gus shades of gray. The surface of
the rock is weathered and cracked, and
here and there green pine clings pre-
cariously to- the face of the cliff.
Along the top of the canyon, on both
sides, there is a band of red shale,
sandstone and limestone 200 feet
thick. Above the rim the traveller
gets an occasional glimpse of some
high peak far beyond. At many
places the-vivid coloring of the canyon
walls is beautiful and the view is of
appealing grandeur. But the over
powering impression the traveller gets
is that of the nearness of these noun

A Eree-Sor-All.

Plimsoll had set up working part

moonshine and bootlegged whisky to

the gambling place. For convenience
Of service extra doors had been cut
and rough-boarded passageway
erected between the two places. Plim.

tains of rock, which rise up beside him
so close that he can not but feel their
immense size. So he and his little
party creep along in their boats be-
tween the cliffs, dodging the rocks or
edging around the rapids, happy if
they can escape alive from the perils
threatened by these giants of nature.
Big Horn River falls $50 feet in the
canyon and has flow of 1900 second
feet for 80 percent of the time and
2,475 second-feet for so per cent Of
the time. Without storage the poten-
tial power for 80 per cent of the time
at 10 per cent efficiency is 81 900 horse
power and for so per cent of the time
it is $4,000 horsepower. Suitable
dam sites are numerous and can be
developed economically as soon as a
market for the power is available.
The Big Horn Canyon Irrigation
and Power Co. purposes to build a
dam near the mouth of the canyon to
a height of 480 feet above the founda-
ton and $50 feet above the low water
surface of the river. Such dam
would utilize the entire fall in the can
yon, and if the upper 200 feet of the
reservoir were used to store the total
flow of the river in years of low water
could be equalized and a continuous
flow of 3,100 second-feet obtained.
Such a dam would make available
81 600 horsepower continuously. The
proposed capacity of the turbines is
10000 horsepower. 1t is also pro-
posed to take water from the reser-
voir at a point 200 feet above the river
and carry it by canals down both
banks to irrigate 10000 acres of bench
land between the canyon and Hardin,
Mont.
Ths report considers plans for de-
veloping the potential power of the
canyon by one, two, and three dams
and points out the advantages and
disadvantages of each plan. The plan
of building a dam 160 feet high at the
mouth of the canyon, to be followed
later by two dams, 85 feet high, at
sites further upstream, would prvbab-
y be the cheapest and best method of
development if irrigation were disre-
garded, and it would also involve the
lowest initial cost. A dam 48O feet
high is financially feasible if a market
is available. On the assumption that
a market is not now available for S5,-
900 continuous horsepower the Gov
crnment engineers recommend an IN
itial development consisting of nom
overflow dam 250i feet ihighr This
dam would be high enough to divert
water to irrigate the bench lands be-
low and would make available $4,000
horsepower for so per cent of the
time and 10000 horsepower for 80 per
cent of the time. The cost would be
as low as that of any other scheme
considered. AS the market for power
grows the dam could either be raised
to height of 480 feet or a second dam
ITS feet high, could be built farther
upstream. With two dams $4,000
horsepower could be developed con-
tinuously except in years of very low
water, compared with $4,000 contin-
uous horsepower from single high
dam. The concrete in single dam
extending $50 feet above low water
would amount to 1,545 900 cubic yards
and that in two dams, ITS feet and 250
feet high, measured from low water,
would amount to 615,O00 cubic yards.
