The reservoir outlet will be a solid rock concrete 

 tunnel 4,427 feet long* This tunnel will conduct the water 

 to tho upper end of a concrete lined canal 8 miles in length, 

 having a capacity of 16,000 miners' inches. The canr.l will 

 conduct tho water to point about throo miles northeast of 

 Tov/lo Station on tho Southern Pr.cific, to a regulating reser- 

 voir IOIOV.TI ns tho "Drum Porobcy". 7rom this rooorvoir will 

 loud tv;o riveted stool pipe lines, 6300 feet long and 72 inches 

 in dimeter at tho uppor ond to tho power station 1,350 feet 

 lovrcr in elovctlon on Bear River. Hore the water v/ill be di- 

 eted e gainst oi>hb water whirls, each * T ith a capecity of 

 9000-JIP. The prooeure i:t tho nozzle of the 7-inoh stream up- 

 on tho v;atcr v;hool buckets will be 585 pounds per square inch, 

 or nocrly throo times the high steam pressure used by the big 

 locomotives of tho Southern Pncific Company. 



Dlectrio power from the plant v/ill be transmitted on 

 a c'ouble circuit stool tower lino nearly 115 miles to the 

 Corrncny'a cub-ctation at 'Cordelia I'arln County, thence to San 



faol and, through this, lon^- distance transmission power will 

 bo supplied to all sub-stations along the lino end to the cities 

 around the bay. 



The vork is beinj energetically carried on at tho 

 preset; o time, 1400 raon and 500 head oC stock boin^; engaged in 

 clearing -che right-of-way from the sito of tho por/or house to 

 that of the storage reservoir. It will ta'.co at least two 

 yoarn to build the SpaulCln? Dam which will be one of the hijh- 

 63 1 in tho world. AdditionrJL power plants to that in Boar 

 Rivor T ill be con&tractod further down stream, oo that when tho 

 entiro vork ic con^lotcd, tho Pacific Gas & Slectric Coroppny 

 will have increased its hydro-electric power service by upward 

 of loe,OOC-HT.
