Aluminum Co. of America
To Build $400,000,000
Smelter On Yukon River
(Continued from Page One)
Wash., will have a capacity of
85,000 tons of alumnium anual
ly, compared to 200,000 tons a
year for the Alaska plant. Alcoa’s
present largest plant, at Alcoa,
Tenn., has a capacity of 145,000
tons.
“Dollarwise,” Hickman said,
“the Alaska plant will cost more
'than any other plant Alcoa has
ever built. The initial investment
is greater than any we have ever
undertaken.”
Cheap Power Key Attraction
He said a huge supply of cheap
power was the key attraction for
selection of the Taiya Valley as
the site for the plant. He said the
firm will establish its own ship
ping line to bring Alumina to the
plants for reduction into alum
inum, which ships will take back
to the States.
James P. Growden, who has
traveled the world over as chief
hydraulic engineer for Alcoa, dis
covered the power potential of
the Taiya Valley by studying
maps. He flew over the site for
the first time in 1947, accompan
ied by Gruening.
Dam Located at Miles Canyon
The dam would be located on
the Yukon River at Miles Canyon
near Whitehorse. Water from the
reservoir would be carried by two
tunnels under the rocky moun
tains to two power houses in the
Taiya Valley area, each to have
a generating capacity of 800,000
horsepower.
The Alaska Development Board
said only a relatively low dam
Robert Isaac Appointed
Education Supervisor
The Territorial Board of Edu
cation announces the appointment
of Robert P. Isaac to the Educa
tion Supervisor position recently
made vacant by the resignation
of Kenneth S. Clem, who plans to
continue his graduate studies in
the East.
Mr. Isaac, who will assume the
duties of his new position today,
has been a resident of the Terri
tory since 1942, when he reported
for duty with the United States
Army Air Force at Ladd Field.
He continued on duty there until
December, 1945, at which time he
was separated from the service
with the rank of major. Immedi
ately following his release from
active duty, he then joined the
faculty of the University of Al
aska as Director of Athletics and
instructor in physical education,
hygiene and biology.
He joined the faculty of the
Douglas Public Schools in mid
1950-1951, taking over coaching
duties and teaching elementary
and secondary school studies.
Mr. and Mrs. Isaac reside in
Douglas.
would be required at Miles Can
yon. Water backed up by the dam
would flood very little land, the
bpard said, because of the steep
topography over most of the area.
The board also said the hazard
of a military attack on the Taiya
project was slight, pointing out
that it would be located 400 miles
back from the Anchorage-Fair
banks line of defense against air
attack and almost a thousand
miles within the radar network.
