WORK TO START
NEXT SPRING ON
HYDER PROJECT
Three Million Dollar Power
Plant Will Be Built
at Davis River
—
Work on a $3,000,000 hydro-elec
! trie project near Hyder will be
j launched next Spring by the Port
I land Canal Power Company if the
j Federal Power Commission grants
| a final license by that time, it was
! made known here yesterday by
| Willis T. Bateheller, President, who
I was here conferring with Regional
j Forester C. H. Flory. He was ac
companied by Mrs. Bateheller, for
i merly Miss Alice Rapp, who lived
i here several years as a girl, at
I tending local Public Schools.
I Mr. Bateheller is the son of W.
W. Bateheller, well known local
business man. He and Mrs. Batchel
ler left last night on the Princess
Norah for Seattle, their home, af
ter spending Sunday and Monday
in the city.
Type of Project
The first unit of the Hyder proj
I ect will have a capacity of 15,000
horsepower. Mr. Bateheller said. It
will be composed of a storage reser
voir and dam, tunnel, pipe-line,
power house and some 40 miles of
transmission line supported on steel
towers. The reservoir will be locat
ed in Davis River Valley. It wil be
formed by the coastruction of a
concrete dam in a box canyon, the
dam to be 200 feet high and 600
feet across the face.
The tunnel wil tap the reservoir
about 50 feet below the face. It will
be 1.500 feet long and have a line
diameter of 16 feet. A pipe-line 500
feet long will lead from the gate
house to the powerhouse. Two tur
bines, each of 7,500 horsepoper ca
pacity. will be driven by the water
supply which will have a drop of
about 350 feet from the intake.
“We are ready to go ahead with
permanent construction as soon as
the Power Commission will grant
our application for final license,’’
Mr. Bateheller said. “We have com
! pleted all of our preliminary exam
inations and field surveys. During
October we worked 40 men in the
f.eld and kept a crew on all last j
month. Our plans are complete. We |
hope there will be no serious delay j

in the re-organization of the Com
mission, since this would set us
hack in our construction. We expect
to have the plant in operation not
later than January 1, 1932.”
Market Is Assured
Market for the power is assured
in the Portland Canal mining dis
trict, Mr. Batcheller declared. It is
planned to furnish cheap power
fcr industrial uses to all operating
mines and for public utilities in the
towns of Hyder, and Stewart, B. C.
The company, he added, does not
expect to enter the distribution field
in municipalities, however, but will
wholesale to existing companies.
It is estimated that there is a
ready market for 12.500 horsepower
at this time. Diesel-manufactured
power is now used, and the com
pany will furnish electricity at a
rate so much below the current cost
that even the companies manufac
turing their own power will find it
economical to shut down the Diesel |
plants, it was said. I
Mining men in the district are
confident that cheap power will
greatly enlarge operations there
and as new properties are opened
(and become producers, the field j
will be greatly enlarged. "We are i
prepared to take care of all de
mands, as we can increase our ca
pacity up to 50.000 horsepower by
adding to the storage capacity of
the reservoir.” Mr. Batcheller said, j
"It is 18 years since I last visited ,
Juneau, and while I knew general- ,
ly that the community had grown,
I was surprised at the extent of j
its progress,” he said. "Your fine I
streets, splendid business buildings
and up-to-date stores and general
appearances, indicates a remarkable
progressiveness.”
Mr. Batcheller said he expected
to return next Spring and spend
more time visiting here.
