To do it, contractors hollowed out a mountain, made a river flow back wards and built a huge lake. The project was built at a cost of ,38 lives 16 died in one plane w uvea in uieu in une plane hf ' crash. But Ole Strandberg, project explosives. and 11 feet wide, was punched through 7,000-foot mount DuBose. At the end of the tunnel near the western side of the mountain a huge cavern was scooped out for the power house 1,400 lect underground. Then the transmission line had to be built across mountains amidst continuous snow. More than one bulldozer and its operator slid over the 3,000-foot cliffs. The line rises from a low of 600 feet above sea lftvel to 5,000-foot-hlgh Kildala Pass. The tunnel from the reservoir to the powerhouse was driven with the help of 8 million pounds of manager for the contractors,, con siders that figure low when you think of the three-year job and the 6,000 men employed on it. The cost in money was 160 mil lion dollars double the original estimate. Now Karl RoesUd.
