New Power Station On N.G. Goldfields

p. 37 · Read in the full issue

Photograph, taken from an aeroplane, of the site of the new Baiune power station that is being built by Bulolo Gold Dredging Co., Ltd., north of Bulwa.

The power house has been built in the gorge shown in the lower part of the picture; and the intake from the race is shown in the upper right corner.

The water comes in an open race along the hilltops for a distance of several miles. Water was turned into the race this month; it is probable the power will be generated in November; and the whole scheme will be completed—including the link with the Bulolo power house and the transmission of power to Wau —by the end of the year.
