An engine of forty horse-power assists the workmen, of whom a hundred and seventy-five are kept in employment, earning the high wages commanded by skilled labor, or, on an average throughout the factory, twenty dollars per week.
At Muscle Shoals, on the Tennessee River, there is now developed 188,000 horse-power, second only to Niagara and if the waters were conserved, the figures would reach 1,084,000 horse-power on the three rivers.
