THE Utah And GALENA.
COMPRESSED AIR PLANT SUGGESTED,
which VIII Furnish Power for the Entire
Distriet-Sews of the Cnmps-Work
of the Stock Brokers.

The respective owners of the Utah
and Galena mines at Fish Springs,
have concluded to consult together re-
garding the putting in of the neces-
eary hosting machinery for the mines.
and to this end have appointed n COM
mittee with power to act. the same
consisting of Mrs. Dora Van Alstlne
and George Crismon for the Utah, and
Messrs. II. s. Joseph and II. Il. Spen-
Ger for the Galena.
The plan is to put In a compressed
air plant to cost in the neighborhood
of $1,000 or $1,000, each company put
ting up half the money. This plant
is destined to supply not only the two
mines in question with power. but the
entire Fish Springs district where, be-
sides the Utah and Galcna, the Emma,

ating. Compressed air for the opera

mines of Fish Springs.
In connection with the carrying out
of the proposed plan, the above named
committee will meet in this city on

It is thought the idea will be adopted.
II so, work will be commenced right
away. to the end that the plant will
be completed and in operation within

To those operating in the Fish
