MARIPOSA ELECTRICITY,
A Plant to Run Mining Machinery in
the COulterville Dis
ri

H. II. Clark Of Coulterville. Mariposa
County, was in this City during the pres
ent week on business in connection with
the establishment of an electric plant on
the MERGED River at point above Horse
shoe Bend. He is the manager of the
Horseshoe Bend Orchard and Vineyard,
the property of P. Z. and G. l.. Mast. P.
p. Mast is widely known as the million
aire manufacturer and the Mayor OF the
city of Springfield, Ohio. Mr.. Clark is
the owner of two valuable mining proper
ties mile northwest of Coulterville. He
is level headed man and takes no stock
in booms or chimerical schemes, but means
business.
A company is practically organized and
will, in the very near future, be incor-
porated with capital stock of 100000,
represented by 5000 shares at 500 share,
under the name of the bend Power Com
pany." Plans have been formulated and
estimates made for the work. dam Will
be constructed about mile above Horse
shoe Bend. 1t is to be of concrete, thirty
five feet in height, and in every respect q
substantial structure. From this point the
water will be conveyed by ditch and flume
mile and half, giving ninety-three feet
fall The river at it's lowest stage carries
about 10, O00.miners inches of water, which
will furnish 1900 horsepower delivered.
The low stage referred to continues from
twenty to thirty-ive days. For eight
months of the year they can handle a suf-
ficient volume of water for 1000 horse
power. Within reach of this power there
is now in operation and in process of de-
velopment over one hundred mines. The
purpose is to furnish the power required
for all the mines in the district, and
as there is no power available for
this locality except at this point on
the river its Importance as factor
OF prosperity is self evident. 1t is further
emphasized by the recent action of the
United States Government agents, who
have stopped the cutting of wood on the
public domain, and threatened wholesale
and indisc riminate arrest of trespassers.
1t may be mentioned in this connection
that, as matter of fact, there is no ap-
probable amount of wood or timber con-
venent to this section of country, outside
of Government land, and if parks and
reservations increase in number and area,
it will not be many years before there will
be a scarcity of fuel for domestic use.
The estimated cost of the Bend Power
Company plant is about $150,00O. Mr..
Clark will remain in San Francisco till
Sunday morning next. The unfinished
business of the organization of the COM
pany Will be left in the hands of DR.. F. NJ.
Hopkins of this City.

audience was convulsed at the attempts or
the club members to walk greasy pole
which extended over the water.
There were four swimming races. Ihere

The Pacific Kennel Club held we'll
attended meeting at the Occidental Hotel
last evening, with President Biers In the

formerly.
James Mortimer, who will represent the
club as delegate to the American Ken

resolution proposed by the American Ken
mel Club prohibiting the exhibiting of
dogs at bench shows that are cropped.

Phillip Ratz, who has been held to an
swer before the Superior Court for crimi-
nal assault upon young girls, appeared in
Judge CampbelI's Court yesterday to an
swer the charge of having indecent litera-
ture in his possession. By con sent the

Attorney P. A. Bergerot renewed his APP
plication for the release of Emma Mar
chand and Lilly Breadhoff, two of the wit
nesses against RatZ, Lane and Meyers, on
bonds of $500 each.
II would not consent to their release"
said the Judge, under $1,000 bonds. The
Marchand girl is witness in three cases

making SIS, 900 altogether. AS her parents
are poor people don't think you can fur

AT GRASS VALLEY
How Company III, Second Infantry,
Ushered In the New Year.

How Company III, Second Infantry,
Ushered In the New Year.
One of the Grass Valley papers contains
the following account of a very pleasant
occasion there:
Company II, Second Infantry, n. G.. c.,
last night closed out the old year. which
has been one of pleasant memories and
hard work, by drill and literary exer-
clses. More than sixty were present at
the armory, although the attendance was
confined to members and former MEM
bers OF the company. AT 8 o'clock the
company was drilled in the manual of
arms and school of the company and at
$3.50 it was divided into four details and
drilled in the guard mount, which was
finely executed. The armory was then
converted into miniature theater and
the following programme was rendered,
Sergeant Higgins acting as master of GER
emonies:
Song, by the company. "Tenting on
the Old Camp Ground"
Recitation, Z. Z. Black.
Mandolin instrumental, Miss Huss,
Messrs. krehwisch, Champion, Wedlock,
Recitation, Sergeant Powell
Farce, 'Walking Post" Written by
Captain Riley, the characters of which
were well sustained by Sergeants Camp
bell and Donovan.
a soldier supper was then served, and
coffee, pork and beans and culinary con-
tributions from the soldiers friends was
done full justice to.
Generals Allen and Sheehan and Col
onel Guthrie and the ladies were toasted,
and many soldier songs were sung. At
II P. NJ. taps were sounded for 1894, and
Immediately afterward reveiIle ushered
in the new year. The ''Star-SDangled
Banner was then sung by the company,
and the occasion closed with many happy
New Years.
Great credit is due the company for the
decorations of the armory Two LARGE
flags were looped before the stage, at the
rear OF which were two crossed rifles.
Pictures OF battle scenes were hung
around the hall, and a large photograph
Of Adjutant-General Allen, surround ed
by flag, occupied q position of honor.
Paintings OF various scenes during the
campaign at Truckee were displayed on
the wall and created great enthusiasm.
They were entitled The Girl l Left Be-
hind Me, News From Home" Camp
24'' and after Taps"
Rifles, bayonets, canteens and other
implements OF warfare were tastefully ar
ranged around the room.
The farce, walking Post' consisted of
two scenes, "Boco" and Rolling the
Blanket" and the many illusions to
Weli-hhoWh events ana personages in
the company were frequently applauded,
Sergeant Campbell sustained the role of
the tramp and Sergeant Donovan the
sentry walking post. At the conclusion
of the second scene a cavalry saber pin
was presented to Miss Flora Huss with
the compliments Of Company II.
The drill, literary exercises and supper
were excellent in every way and the
evening was one long to be remem bered,
Messrs. L. Z. Black, Sergeant Powell
and the madolin performers excelled
themselves.
