DRILLING AND BLASTING IS
STARTED ON HOOVER
DAM PROJECT
LAS VEGAS, New, July 1, (/P)
—Hand over hand 50 feet down a
rope dangling over the precipice
that faces Black canyon — that’s
all in a day’s work for the men
engaged in the preliminary work
of building Hoover dam.
It’s the way they go to work
and it’s the way they go home
from work, for the point where
they are engaged is in the middle
of the cliff, some 60 or 70 feet
above the murky flow of the Colo
rado river.
They are drilling and blasting
out a niche where will be anchored
one end of a large cable tramway
reaching across the big stream.
Eleven Cable Trains
A total of about 11 of these ca
bles will be installed between the
bluff walls of Black canyon to fur
nish fast transportation from one
side of the river to the other.
The first is being cut less than a
mile upstream from the actual dam
site.
A rope more than 100 feet long
hangs from the cliff above. To
get to the scene of their labors
the jack-hammer men must cross
the river by boat, climb up the
cliff, then lower themselves over

The Dime and Dollar Building
and Loan Association of Portland,
in which many Alaskans have j
money invested, is in financial dif- !
ficulties as a result of the de- :
pressed conditions along the Pa
cific coast, and whether or not
investors will get any of their
money back remains to be deter
mined. Announcement of the sus
pension of the company was made

general agent in Alaska.

Fort Yukon headed for there, says
