To those resiaents who have not seen / the interesting method in which the barges are dumped and then righted, an automobile ride, of walk down the Thane road while the process is taking place 'would prove most interesting. The Engineering and Mining Journal with accompanying pictures explains: “One of the most interesting op- erations at the property of the Alas- one set is used for dumping. An interval of about two minutes is re- juired to put enough water into he water compartment to change the center of gravity and thus force the barge to list. When this occurs, the water in the compartment rush- es to the side and the load begins to slide toward the lower side. Listing continues and is accelerated by the movement of the load until the mo- mentum turns the barge completely over, dumping its 600-ton load of rock. The complete dumping cycle Gastineau A.
