Great Lake Will Replace
Rocky Colorado Canyon
A mighty man-made lake, will
in a few years. , replace miles of
bald, hard-faced mountains, pro
viding life giving water which
will make the deserts bloom
that's the story ef Boulder Dam,
In the canyon of 'the mighty ol-
orado, an engineering feat great
er than any tried before . In the
history of the world. -
Captain John Macready -. flew
over the . . gorge recently: and
brought back some -photographs
showing" the magnitude ot the
engineering project, which will
harness the waters of the muddy
river, stop the menace of floods
In the Imeprlal valley, provide
power for several states and mil
lions of . people. Macready flew
from the bay cities to Las Vegas,
Nevada, in four house and a half
with a stop for lunch in Bakers
field, merely commuting distance
from this' city, by plane. At Las
Vegas he was met by a Chevrolet
sedan which took, him and his
photographer to the site ot Bould
er City, where the government Is
building a city to house the work
ers who will build the- dam. - A
launch was provided and the
party explored the river and the
forbidding, canyon walls which
rise almost perpendicularly from
the river bed, at the dam site;
Next day Macready flew over
the Boulder Dam. country, high In
the air looking down on the for
bidding country which will he
flooded. - - :.
- Boulder Dam, .the power hous
es, city for men who wHl build it
and other necessary works, will
coat 165.000.000 Thedam will
be a concrete gravity structure
739 feet, high from lowest point
of foundation to top, l.I SO feet
long on the crest and built in the
form of an arch of 600 feet radi
us on the axis. Approximately 3
407,009 cubic yards of concrete
will be contained in the dam
alone. Diversion of the Colorado
river during construction will he
taken, care ot by four concrete
lined circular tunnels, each 50
feet In diameter, all onLone level,
and about 4,000 feet long.
Immediately below the dam is
the power house, a U-shaped
structure with a wing on each
canyon wall. Each wing- will
houseix; and probably eight
power units. An inclined freight
elevator, capable of handling reg
ulation railroad freight cars, will
be located on the- slope of the
canyon wall immediately down
stream from the power house on
the Nevada side of the river.
A highway will . connect - with
the end of the construction high
way being' built under separate
contract and will descend by light
grades to the cerst of the dam on
the Nevada side of the river. 'Af
ter crossing over the canyon to
the Arizona side on the roadway
along the crest of the dam, the
highway grade will rise to the
canyon rim and will connect With
the Arizona highway to be built
laer. a .
To provide for expansion and
contraction, the concrete in the
dam is to be built up in blocks or
columns about S0x50 feet in
plan. The blocks will be curved to
tit the face and rear of the dam.
The railroad line ' from . Las
Vegas to Boulder City will be
completed m a short time. A hlgh-
wsy paralleling the rail line is
now ander construction.
Boulder City, whleh will rise
from the desert, en the cliff high
above- the Colorado will he
model city. The government -will
lease land there for contractor's
of ices and material supply areas.
All the men who - work on ' the
dam will live In this city. Every
modern convenience will be pro
vided. ' i -
Boulder Dam. the world's larg
est and greatest engineering feat.
Is now under way. The first earth
has been moved and operations In
the canyon will soon start.
