Work has been in progress on this plant since March, 1!)05. The big Pittsburg contractor, T. A. Gillespie Company, has the contract for build ing a 45,000 electrical horse power company. The original plan was to complete the plant by tlie lirst of the year, but it was later decided to dig the canal deeper.' One Thousand Men Busy. Work has not been started on the power house, all attention heretofore having been given to the dam and canal, where sixty dicky trains, six steam shovels and a thousand labor ers have been constantly at work. Wight work has been resumed for the bummer, but will be suspended dur ing the winter. The dam is well nigh complete. The river is now going through the piers into the spillway. The piers will be 10 feet higher than the dam. The four-and-a-half mile i anal is getting well in shape. From the dam to the power house is 124 feet fall. Heavy Pay Roll. Many negroes are employed. Pay day is twice a month and the pay roll is some $50,000 a fortnight. The plant, when completed, will transmit electricity over a radius of 100 miles, rn dits significance is incalculable to the Piedmont section of this state. It is hoped to build a city at Whitney. Credit to Mr. Hambley. The thoroughness with which the preliminary work was done was due to the untiring labors of the late Capt. E. B. C. Hambley. He spent years in surveying and locating the site and interesting capitalists in it imd who bought in the 14,000 acres , which the company own there. Texas Bankers in the Metropolis.
