So that‘s that. Since Amca is so far from any town and consequently from power lines, a steam plant is necessary for providing electric energy. Two Skinner steam enâ€" gines, directly connected to Crockerâ€" Wheeler generators are dGesigned to have a total capacity of 125,000 watts, sufficient for the present needs of the mine. A 150â€"horse power locomotiveâ€" type boiler will be shipped in soon, as well as a compressor, crusher, pumps and so on, all with individual electric motors. Wm. Cole who designsd theâ€" equipâ€" ment, and J. W. Rudhard, syndicate manager, will supervise installation. Digby Grimston of Timmins is managâ€" ing the property and has supervised construction done this winter. Not very far south of Lake Abitibi in Garrison township, they‘ve been busy this winter erecting mine buildingsâ€" a Jjoo that‘s usually left for the sumâ€" mertime. Picking and â€" shovelling threugh hard frozen earth; mixing and pouring concrete in subâ€"zero weather; heating gravel and water for the job: these things have been done before in the North, but rarely so far from any town as the Amcea is. For the Amca mill building 22 conâ€" crete piers were put down to bedrock. Sixtesn of thess six feet squa@re pilâ€" lars were put down ten feet for the power house, Excavation was done quring the early part of the year; in February bis firss were built in a gravel pit to thaw maâ€" terial for the concrete. Water was heatâ€" ed in 45â€"gallon drums over an open fire ‘The concrete mixer itself had to be kept warm all the time the mixing was going on. When the material had been poured into the pier forms, shelters were erected and salamanders kept the place warm for at least 96 hours to allow proper hardening. Timber Near at Hand In erecting buildings for the mine, material in the rough was fourd near at hand. All winter long logs have 3en hauled into camp from the nearby bush and work on the floors and walls is to go forward immediately. Winter Work at the Amea, Garrison Tp.
