SHEA’S BIG JOB When Nyssa folks read of Charles A. Shea, it’s like reading of John Brown or Ben Jones, so familiar has the likeable name of Shea became in this locality since work began on the Owyhee irrigation project. Just as the com munity takes nride in the success of one of its inhabitants, it rejoices witn Charles A. Shea in his step forward in the engineering world. Shea, a member of the firm that set a world record in , a tunnel drive on its Owyhee contract, will build the huge Boulder dam. The Shea company and Pacific Bridge company of Portland and four other western con tractors combined to form the Six Companies, Ine., low bidders for Bo alder dam. To each member of the Big Six was allotted a definite part in the work. The big job went to Shea. He has the responsibility of construction and engineering. He will build the dam. We can scarcely encompass the immensity of the Boulder project. Its estimated cost is $80,000,000. Work has started and completion is scheduled for 1938. A com plete city will be built eight miles from the site. More than 50,000,000 pounds of reinforced, steel 4.200.000 yards of gravel will go into the dam. About 2.500.000 foot of lumber will be used. There will be 1.900.000 yards of tunnel excavation. Shea’s brother Gilbert Shea is director of work on the Owyhee tunnel contracts. His capable assistant, Martin Boss, was in charge when Shea recently made the world’s best tunnel run for day, week and month. It has about reached the point in this country where you can get everything needed in the kitchen in cans except elbow grease.
