Giant Canadian Aluminum
Plant Ready for Operation
KEMANO, B. C. Ml Furnaces
ef the giant Aluminum Co. of Can
ada smelter 50 miles from here
will soon be fired by 420.000 elec
trical horsepower which will flow
from a great hydro-electric . plant
built In the bowels of Mount Du-
- Bose,
The story behind the power be
gan tnree years ago when the
company started to build a hydro
set-up that would light and power
a city the size of Vancouver. 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

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. Norweeian-
born resident engineer here fori
the Aluminum Co. of Canada, isr
almost ready to throw the switches i

sion line to Kit mat. There it wll . - . .

-.. .
Water moving through the tunnel
will drive three turbines already
installed. A fourth generator will
be put in when needed and four
more can be installed. Plans are
ready for another 10-mile tunnel
and more generators to double the
present output if the aluminum
market booms.
