The Stockton Mail gives further particu-
lars OF the electric plant being installed by
the Blue Lake Water Company: "The
electric plant will be established at a place
known as Trips mill, just below Moke-
lumne Hill. A pipe about 5000 feet in
length and having in that distance a fall
OF 1o43 feet will convey the water from the
high level above to the bottom of the
canyon, where the electric machinery is
stationed. 1t has been estimated that with |
the fall mentioned and the quantity OF
water available, horse power of 10000 |
could be developed; but at present the
machinery which is to be put in will con-
vert into electric energy only about 5000 |
horsepower. In setting up this plant and |
establishing power wires to Stockton and |
other places, $500, ,000 will be spent; that
sum has been appropriated for this part of
the enterprise. The wire line to stockton
will furnish power for mills and factories
and will also operate an electric railroad.
