BULKHEAD COMPLETED. Preliminary Work on Dam Being Built for Cotton Company. The great bulkhead wall at the new | dam of the Danielson Cotton company, across the Quinebaug river, has been built up to its full height for a dis- tance of about 30 feet, and from now on the construction work, which has been held up by weather for sev- eral months, will be pushed rapidly. The wall already constructed rests on a foundation about 12 feet below the river level, at which it is nine feet in thickness, tapering to a seven foot ‘width the top. The section now constructed is plerced by three great circular steel pen stocks, through which the water will flow into the ‘wheel pit already excavated and wall- ed. The actual construction of the dam will not begin for several weeks yet. The present attention of the construction force is occupied with the extension of bulkhead, which will run far back In to the bank on the Pom- fret side of the river, where the power house will also be located. Hundreds of tons of stone have been blasted out of the precipitous ledge on the Pomfret side amd will be used in the masonry work. A short narrow gauge railroad has been bullt from the ledge, which contains enough material to build fifty dams, to the point where the construction work is underway. Sometime during the early su\amer a coffer dam is to be constructed and the building of the dav~ begun. It will probabll" be completed early in the fall. About 1,500 horse power will be devel- oped. The electric power plant will be of brick. The power will be transmit- ted over a high tension line to the mill in Danielson. AMATEUR DRAMATICS.
