The original contract was let to Tom
IinSon g. Arkwright and work on the
dam started Feb. Is, 1887. Some diff
culties we're encountered. The contract
ors failed and work was taken over by
the bonding company. J. L. McLaugh-
lin of Great Falls completed the main
contract. excluding the concrete spill
way, and finished construction April
80, 1898, so water was available for
irrigation that year.
Due to difficulties encountered in
building the cutoff trench and other
unforeseen expenses, this project over
ran the original estimates, and the
public works administration accepted
it as soon as the spillway had been
excavated to Slbgrade and the dam
proper with the control works COM
pleted. Excavation Of the Spillway
through solid rock insured safety of
the dam but stiIl left an important
part Of the structure uncompleted. The
state water conservation board spon-
sored a works progress administration
project and the concrete spdllway was
finished July 20, 1899, with the as
sistance Of that administration.
Built Of Earth and Rock
The Ruby river dam Is of earth and
rock between natural abutments. The
earth fill is rolled into an impervious
mass weighing as much as light stone.
The upstream side of the dam is faced
with a 3O-inch layer of riprap to pro-
tect the structure from wave action.
The dam is 1 LOO feet long, 20 feet
wide on top, ITO feet high above stream
bed, and the foundations extend 40
feet below the river. The right abut-
ment Is solid rock and the left abut-
ment extends into tight ground, but
the foundation presented many diff
cultieS. There were pockets of porous
sand and gravel much deeper than
expected. These pockets had TO be ex-
cavated and pumps were running con-
stautIy to keep the excavation dry
enough to work In. After the excava-
ton was completed the foundations
were filled with rolled earth equal to
that placed In the dam itself. The
