Just now. when the electrical situation
in this county is somewhat complicated,
it may be news to some of our readers
TO learn that another company is about
to enter the field for the generation of
electricity for power and lighting pur-
poses, and that. without having shown
its hand, this company is already in pos
session of ample funds for the carrying
on of it's projected enterprise; that al
ready it has site for its plant; that it
has made partial arrangements for the
use of its power, and that before the year
has grown very old the camps of Park
City and Bingham will be utilizing the
electric fluid furnished by the company
for the lighting of their streets and resi-
dences and in the operation of their
mines and hosting plants.

England, has water rights and millsite
