Visiting Glacier He Discovered
Undeveloped Power Sites.
Washington. — Interior department
engineers who surveyed the Roaring
Fork of the Colorado River, Colo., re-
ported seven undeveloped power sites
between Snowmass and the river’s
mouth capable of furnishing a total
of 31,509 horse power for 90 per cent
of the time and 54,000 horse power for
50 per cent of the time. At one of
the sites inspected, it was found that
a canal five miles long would make
possible development »of 10,000 horse
power. Five sites already developed
on the fork have a total capacity of
6540 horse power.
