Pathfinder dam award changes bidders and plan details
The Pathfinder dam contract was awarded to Geedes & Seerle Stone Co of Denver, not N & Shaman &C of Oklahoma as some papers claimed. Sherman & Go were lowest bidders but deemed unable to handle the project. Construction starts once machinery and supplies arrive, with rail fitted bedrock dam, 210 feet high, 80 feet thick at bedrock, 16 feet at top, and 33,000 cubic yards of masonry plus forty thousand barrels of cement. The reservoir will back up the North Platte, and a mining tunnel will divert river flow during builds.
