The location of the plant will be on the north fork of the Feather River. It will be necessary for the company to run a tunnel for some distance through rock, and to do this power will be re- quirs Consequently it is proposed to run & line from the Centerville plant of the Bay Counties Power Company to French Creek Gulch to transmit power for the purpose of operating all machin- ery used in driving the tunnel and other construction work. A huge dam Is to b~ built for the purpose of restraining a large amount of water in a reservoir. In the tunnel it is proposed to use large iron pipe, which will be lald in cement, so that when rust eats the pipe away the cement will maintain a clear way. In the neighborhood of 2000 barrels of cement have been received at Oroville to be used In the construction, and it Is es- timated that about 330 carloads of ma chinery, poles, wire and other supplies for installing the mew plant will be re- quired. —— Dirksmeyer was about 3 years of age.
