CALL SHOALS
 NIAGARA OF
 THE SOUTH

Muscle Shoals is called the "Ni- agara of the South." Engineers say that there is nothing in the United States but Niagara Falls that can be compared to it. Its wealth of power can be visualized when 1t is pointed out that its vast hydro-electric possibilities will yield more than coo, 900 horsepower. and that the total water power de veloped in the United States is s. 000,000. Muscle Shoals is that shoaly section of the Tennessee river with total fall of 130 feet in the 30 miles of rapids. The banks of the river at the shoals are of such height that 100-foot head of water may be held without build ing any retaining walls except the dam proper. <
 The Wilson dam at Muscle Shoals is 4.300 feet long, it's base is 160 feet wide, and its total height is 120 feet. When complete it will be the largest single piece of monOlithic concrete construction in the world. The locks for navigation purposes have a lift of 45 feet. The dam completed will furnish sufficient hy- do-electyic energy to operate the two gigantic nitrate plants, which cover 1000 acres, and in addition will afford adequate power for a region covering radius of 300 miles. The full use of the dam !ap- piled to power, will save 6,5OO,OOO tons of coal now used annually in the section that will be supplied with power by Muscle Shoals.

pure liquid asphalt. which has been found by drilling wells, this liquid run ming approximately fifteen feet in depth.
 Sandstone of beautiful color is found in large quantities here, which is util- ized for building purposes. This stone is found on the Jackson highway.
 Waco Quarry
 At Waco the limestone quarry is considered one of the best Tn the coun- try. This, limestone is used for road building, and it is also used in the manufacture of nitrates. The govern ment, needing this limestone during it's operations of the nitrate plants at Mus cle Shoals, built a complete and abso- lutely modern plant at Waco, which is an integral part of plant No. Two. In time this plant will furnish all the limestone necessary in connection with the products of the nitrate plants, either in the manufacture of nitrates or of fertilizer.
 The limestone at Waco is found in enormous quantities and is easily reached, being covered only with slight sheet of soil. This soil being removed the stone is revealed as a solid forma- tion, and is said by government experts to be inexhaustible.
 The Waco quarry IS one of the most interesting sights in the Muscle Shoals district, and is today in perfect con- dition, standing in readiness for i'm mediate operation.
 Combined with the power that will be obtained when the dams are com pleted, this mineral wealth will do no small part, it is thought, in contributing to the prosperity of Muscle Shoals.

 The foundations for all of these works IS very hard blue limestone. The foundation strata have been carefully examined and thoroughly tested through out the entire length of the dam, power house and lock system, and found en- tirely satisfactory. Exploration holes. varying in depth from 40 feet minimum to 100 feet maximum, have been driven for very 20 feet of length of the struc- lures, to show the character of the foundations. The plans followed for the testing of these foundations have SO thoroughly revealed the character of the rock supporting all of. the struc- lures as to remove all possible doubt as to their sufficiency
 Dam No. 2 and all of the water re- talnlng works are what is known as the gravity type of construction, mean ing structureS which depend primarily on their own weight for their ability to resist oyerturning or sliding on their foundations. This type of construction has been in successful use for centuries and Is now considered in conservative engineering to be the most dependable design where permanence, heavy duty and low cost of maintenance are re- quired.-
 In general, reinforced concrete con struction throughout Dam No. 2 has been followed only where exterior sur faces immediately adjacent to reinforc- ing rods can be maintained waterproof throughout operating conditions, there by relieving the reinforcement of the deterioration that always follows where waterprOOfing cannot be perfected and maintained.
 The Wilson dam, when completed, is expected to represent the highest com mercial efficiencies and the lowest costs ensineef lug at this lime. 9

For the convenience of those inter- ested, the Sheffield Chamber of Com merce has prepared a booklet setting forth the salient facts about the Shoals region and thousands of these booklets are being distributed to all parts of the country. Here are some of the points to which the booklet calls atten- ti0n
 Sheffield, Alabama, is. "The Gateway to Muscle Shoals; population, 1920, 6,6S7; population in 1880, 150,000, plus. The city of Sheffield is located in the heart of the Muscle Shoals district, on the Tennessee river, ins Colbert county in the western part of the Ten nessee Valley. It's health record is un- surpassed :; its water plant the most modern, and its water pure. Climate is excellent the usual annual tempera- ture ranging between 15 and 96 de- grees; malaria and typhoid -are infres quent, and seldom appear. Sunstrolxes are unknown. Summer temperature averages 76 to S6 degrees. An excellent system of sewerage is maintained the city is located on high point and natural drainage aids in keeping down disease. ' s1
 The city is under commission form of government.
 As a distributing center for wholesale and jobbing houses the location is ideal Served by three railroads and at the head of all-the-year water navigation on the Tennessee river; freight rates are best. Barging down stream to the Ohio, Mississippi, and Gulf of Mexico is easy.

MINERALS ADD
 TO WEALTH OF SHOALS SECTION
Ore, Limestone, Asphalt And Others Are Found
 In Abundance

Geolosists have stated after research in the Muscle Shoals district that the mineral deposits there, are, quite re- markable. and will eventually be the source of great development. Even be- fore the power became the paramount issue at the place it was conceded by authorities that mineral wealth lay in abundance in the district.
 Muscle Shoals embraces. Russellyille, which is one. of the most important brown ore fields in the south. The same vein of ore runs over the noun tain and crosses over the river, south of Sheffield in Colbert county, going into Tennessee, where it is mined and turned into pig iron.
 The ore obtained from the Russell vile mines carries enough manganese to produce pig iron, which commands ten per cent more in price than pig irons manufactured from ore in other Alabama mines.
 At Brick there is particularly rich vein of this ore, which is so located that it is impossible to mine it, letting it slide of its own volition down the banks of the river onto the barges, thus eliminating some expense.
 All brown ore in this district is obtained by surface mining, running in pockets practically east and west. ,'+a . Deposit Of Asphalt
 A great deposit of asphalt is also found here, and it has been stated that enough of this material can be found in the district to pave many high ways. The outcropping of asphalt, known as asphalt rock, has been used in it's natural state in road building, and two large concerns are operating asphalt mines there.
 The outcroppings of this mineral are so hardened by the sun as to be formed into rock, which can be crushed and used for road building. Beneath lies the
