lake projects. An extra heavy con- struction, steel tower transmission line 35.8 miles long will carry the power to Taku Inlet. There the power from Dorothy Lake will be brought to join the other power in a common transformer station, and carried across Taku Inlet over submarine cable. From there it will be carried to a substation at Thane over transmission line seven and eight-tenths miles long.
 At Dorothy Lake creek a power house will be built. The trans mission line from the power station to the transformer unit on the east shore of Taku Inlet, will be five and four -tenths miles in length.
 Details of Equipment
 Equipment to be used in the power and transformer stations is set up in detail in the plans. At the Speel River plant there will be two 17,500 horsepower reaction tur- bine waterwheels, one 17,5OO horse power impulse type water wheel, and three 15,000 KVA electric pow CT generators with all the necessary auxiliary equipment. At Dorothy Lake there will be one 28,000 horse power single, overhung, impulse type waterwheel and one 10000 KvA electric power generator with all necessary auxiliary equipment All of the power houses will be of concrete, fireproof construction. At Speel River there will be dock and warehouse and $75,000 con- struction camp. A site for this has already been obtained from the War Department.
 Each of the lakes will be tapped 125 feet below the surface by tun- nels, thus obviating the need for constructing dams. The tunnel grades will average one-half of one per cent.
 Costs of Construction The total cost of driving the tun- nels is placed at $732, 500. Pipe lines, aggregating 8,100 feet, will cost an other $663 3,0o0; power houses $796,- GOO; transformer stations $2400O0; transmission lines $247,00o; sub. marine cable, laid in ! duplicate, $580.ooo; Thane substation; $380 1000; engineering and contingencies $378,- 900; and construction camp s75,00O. It seems to be the plan to com plete the Long Lake power project and construct the first unit of the paper mill by the time the power from Long Lake is ready for deliv- cry. And, after this original unit, i 200 to 250 tons daily of newsprint, in capacity, is in operation, to pro- ceed with the development of Cra- ter Lake. The tunnel there is 6300 feet long but will only be eight by eight feet in dimensions. Considerably less time will be re- quired for it's completion than at Long Lake. Driving on these, how ever, can only be done from one i portal.
 Dorothy Tunnel Long l The Dorothy Lake tunnel will be the longest, II 1920 feet. It will average but six by eight feet and work can be done from two por- tals which will shorten the time required for driving.
 It will be added after Crater Lake power is developed and delivered to the mill from the Speel River Sta- 1 tion.
 In his application, MT. Cameron informed the Power Commission ! that the De Young family of San Francisco is interested with him, and that Harry Chandler, publish CT of the Los Angeles Times, is in- l terested with him on 50-50 basis.
