FIRST rail PUNT
ILL MUTE NETT JUNE
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., April 23—The
greatest industrial war drama in the
history of the South is being enacted
at Muscle Shoals, on the Tennessee
river, in northwestern Alabama.
Developments of tremendous impor
tance to the United States in both
times of war and peace are being
rushed to completion there at a cost
of $70,000,000.
The government already has well
under construction two emergency ni
trate plants that will extract nitrogen
from the air for use in preparation
of ammonium nitrate, so essential to
the manufacture of gun cotton, smoke
less powder and other high explo
sives used in war, and for the mak
ing of high-grade fertilizer so neces
sary to the restoration of soil fer
tility both in war and peace.
President Wilson also has author
ized the construction of power and
navigation dam No. 2 of the Ten
nessee river at Muscle Shoals, in
which the United States army engi
neers have recommended ultimate in
stallation of hydro-electric machinery
for generating 480,000 horse-power.
Nitrate plant No. 1, it is announced,
will be in operation during June. An
army of 2,200 men is employed on
the work alone. The plant will man
ufacture thirty tons of nitrate per
day by the synthetic ammonia proc
ess of air-nitrogen fixation. It will
also consume one hundred tons of
coke per day and from one to two
tons of dolomite. The remainder of
the raw material will come from the
atmosphere.
The plant will manufacture its own
coke. It will also have its own 5,000
horse-power steam plant.
Seven thousand workmen are en
gaged in the construction of nitrate
plant No. 2, and this force will be In
creased, it is expected, to 15,000 be
fore the plant is completed. It will
employ a permanent force of 5,000
men. This plant will probably be
turning out nitrates in August.
Power to drive this $30,000,000
plant will be furnished by a 60,000
horse-power steam plant and by a
steam power plant of the Alabama
Power Company on the Warrior
river. The steam power plants will
be used pending the building of big
power dam No. 2 on the Tennessee
river. This dam will generate a min
imum of 120,000 horse-power at the'
lowest point.
Work has been started on dam No.1
2, which will be the largest concrete1
dam in the world. Over 1,300,000
cubic feet of materials will be re
quired. Preliminary estimates place
the cost at $16,000,000. Three or four
years will be required for its con
struction. The probable initial in
stallation will provide 160,000 hydro
electric horse-power.
Plans also have been formulated
for the erection of dam No. 3, sixteen
miles east of dam No. 2. This dam
will be only 48 feet high, but will
form a lake 70 miles long, the largest
in the United States. It will enable
the development and utilization of a
maximum of 660,000 hydro-electric J
horse-power at the two dams. This,
amount will exceed by 85,000 horse-j
power the amount of power available1
on both sides of Niagara falls.
Completion of the Muscle Shoals1
developments and great power proj-j
ects will insure for the United States
the following economic and military,
benefits:
Munitions preparedness at all
times, due to dependable supply ofi
ammonium nitrate.
Increased per acre yield of food
crops and cotton through a depend
able nitrogenous fertilizer supply.
Vast stimulus to development of
materials of the South.
I Tremendous saving in fuel and la
1 bor.
i Rapid growth in the United States
of electro-chemical and electro-metal
lurgical industries.
Cheap electric power to Birming
ham district, third largest producer
of iron ore in America.
