The Dam below has been constructed in conjunction with a tunnel to divert a portion of New River for power creation purposes. This tunnel beginning at the west end of the dam is approximately 3 miles long and has a fall of 160 ft. to create electric power, which is used for industrial purposes at Glen ferris and Alloy. The railroad opposite is the main line of the Chesapeake and Ohio.'
