Synopsis
Excerpt from Water-Power at Niagara Falls to Be Successfully Utilized: The Niagara River Hydraulic Tunnel, Power and Sewer Co;; Its Objects, Facilities and Resources, Inducements for Manufacturers, Etc
The Niagara River Hydraulic Tunnel, Power and Sewer Company has been organized for the purpose of utilizing the enormous power of Niagara River by constructing a subterranean tunnel from the water-level below the Falls, about 200 feet under the high bank of the river, extending through the rock to'the upper Niagara River at a point about one mile above the Falls, where a head of 120 feet is obtained. The tunnel thence extends parallel with the shore of the river one and one-half miles at an average depth of 100 feet below the surface of the earth, and at a distance of about 400 feet from the navigable waters of the river, with which it is connected by means of conduits or lateral tunnels, as shown by the accompanying maps.
