Utilizing Water Power.

At the West, where coal is compar-
aHvely dear, and water power album
dant, the people are beginning to wake
up to the advantages Of generating
electricity without the aid of coal or
steam machinery. The utilization of
water by the use of high heads, while
it takes nothing from it's employment
for irrigation purposes, would yield a
vast amount of power to be converted
into electricity, and transmitted for
light and power purposes to consider
able distances. A beginning has been
made in California which promises to
have a wide imitation.

THE TIMES.
S iTIR)AY, AUGUST IA, 1877.
Vermont News.

A fact known to comparatively few people
is that the largest bowlder in New England
is located in the southwestern part of the
neighboring town of Nottingham. This bowl
der,which is within two miles of the Deerfeld
river, stands upon flat rock on a hill 800 feet
high. 1t is CALLED the "Green mountain
giant" and IS 30 feet high, 40 feet long, l25
feet in horizontal circumference, and weighs
$500, 900 pounds, its cubic contents being
40 600 feet. Its character corresponds exactly
with that OF the Green Mountain, between
which and the rock is valley more than 500
feet deep, which leads some to believe that
the bow der was torn from the ledge on the
mountain by some powerful agency and Trans
ported across the valley. Its corners are not
rounded to any great extent, and it therefors
cannot have been subject to attrition. Others
believe that at some remote period, when the
country round about was covered with water,
the older was iloated down from the noun
famous regions of the north in a large body
of ice, which melted sufficiently to liberate il
ut its present location. Another bowlder of
3, 900 900 pounds weight is found i'll another
part of the town, and the fact that they are
left about discriminatory would seem to favor

A Barre Gold Mining Company.

The first Alaskan Gold Mining company to
be formed in V, rm mt was corporated at
Barre, with capital stock OF $4,000. The
papers of incorporation were received from
the secretary OF state Wednesday morning,

Il, e the incorporators.
The company does not propose to sell only
limited amount of stock, a large part Of
which is already subscribed. The company
is cooperative in its nature and the capital
stock is made small so that if anything is
made it will be beneficial to the stockholders.
1t is the intention of the promoters of the COM
pany to place man in the Klondike country
this fall, if climatic conditions will permit.
If not, at the earliest possible moment.

81. Louis. April ga special from

terrible catastrophe in that section. West
"uthrie 10 scene OF desolation. and
many lives have certainly been lost
Early yesterday morning q gigantic
wave swept the town from the face OF
the earth. Without warning the cata-
ciysm broke, and today the place Is a
miniature OF the great Johnstown flood
of seven Years ago.
Dozens or lives are known to have been
lost, how many may not be known for
weeks; hundreds of houses were
wrecked; many farmers were complete
iy ruined: bridges and tracks were
washed out. and railway traffic in every
direction Is at a standstill. The efforts
o. rescuing parties have in many cases
proved in vain. Many persons fioated
down stream before they could be
reached. and their fate is unknown.
Others passed the night In trees in mid
stream. or perched on housetops. The
property loss Is placed at something
near $l.00O,O00. Fully two-thirds of the
victims were colored. Business has
stores and banks being closed.
AS thorough an organization for re-
lief as possible has been made, but all
aid has been necessarily retarded by
the confused condition of things
II will be impossible to explore the
houses until the water subsidies, az many
OF them are submerged. AS darkness
gathered over the scene, many over
mr. nd hnt
flood, but II could not be learned whether
their occupants escaped. The river is
30 feet above its ordinary level. A
heavy rain began falling yesterday af
Hernoon.
The flood is supposed to have been
caused by cloudburst, supplemented
by heavy rains.
When darkness settled over the city
last night the widest stories of loss OF
life were afioat The estimates ran all
the way from 90 to 25O persons drowned
While the larger figure is undoubtedly
an exaggeration, it is known that the
loss OF life will reach, If not exceed, the
lesser number.
At dark last night but two bodies had
been recovered.
The bodies recovered are Anna Kaiser,
a school teacher, and Frank Mayors.
Others known to have been drowned
are: George Owens. j. II. Calhoun, wife
and child; Charlie Rufner and wife, Ras-
tus McGili, Lena Burk, Mrs. Watt, Mrs.
Wesley McGill and five children, John
Metz, Mrs. II. James Montgomery, Mrs.
Frances Moore. John Beard, Mrs. Sue
Wilson, Jennie Taylor. Sammie Jackson.
George Snithers, Mrs. Dummills. Jim
Lilly, Mrs. Dumas, III. II. Beckfinger.
II is believed that loss of life has also
occurred south of Guthrie, along the
Cottonwood river. Many farmers in that
district are reported TO have been swept
away. Seven miles south Of here. at
seward, Hunts store and the postofHce
were swept away.
Four thousand dollars was raised in
Guthrie yesterday afternoon for the re-
lief OF the sufferers.

ing II. The schoolhouse for colored
children was struck at o'clock In the
afternoon, the structure shattered and
about so pupils more or less seriously
hurt.
Several other houses were struck by
lightning. but no one was killed. Fur
ther west, the lightning killed much
stock. The electric light wires went
down and the town was i'm darkness
Tuesday night. Reports from sur
pounding towns are meagre. as the tele-
graph wrcs are down. and trains have
all been stopped on account of washouts.
Vt Is known, however, that many homes
have been washed out In towns ad-
jacent to Eel Reno. and IL is feared that
many lives have been lost
