POWER FOR ELECTRICITY.
Operations of the Lake Bonneville
Land and Power Company.

1t is learned that special party
composed of 7. H Cavanaugh, r. NJ
Jones and Engineer McCarty, have
Just returned from an inspection OF the
proposed works Of the Lake Bonneville
Land & Power company, the object Of
the visit being 20 investigate the rock
formation in relation to the construc-
ton of the proposed dam for one OF the
large reservoirs near bennington
which viii be used for irrigation ana
power purposes.
: AT d meeting of the state land board
on Oct. ), action will be taken relative
to the application of the Bonneville
company for over 250,090 acres Of land
and If the area desired is secured, con-
struction work by the company viii be-
gin at once
In this connection it is stated that
several of the mining companies of Tin
tic district are figuring on obtaining
electric power from the company, the
distance from the power station to the
Mammoth mine being less than 90
miles. and several engineers, after a
thorough examination, report that this
is one of the most feasible electric
schemes in the country.
The generation and application of
electrical power as above outlined is a
feature that will be of general interest
to the western mining world, while
from an agricultural point of view the
bulk of the land under the company S
proposed canals is said to be uneXcelled
as regards its fertility.

Del Norte Prospector: Loren syl-
vester came in last Tuesday from the
South Fork. He reports the catching
OF d large silver-tip bear On his cattle
range on South Fork, Weighing in the
vicinity of 1850 pounds. Old timers in
that vicinity who have hunted bear for
many years, say it is the largest they
have ever SEEN A 40 pound trap
chained to a large log was set for
bruin. and a daily watch kept over it
for long time but as he failed to
materialize the watchers became care
less and did not visit the trap for sew
eral days. Finally the trap, log and all
disappeared. and the bear was tracked
some 90 miles over the rough country,
finally being discovered dead with the
trap on his paw. 1t is magnificent
specimen and Mr.. Sylvester carries one
of its tusks in his pocket which ne
exhibits with considerable pride. The
bear has killed a number of cattle for
Mr.. Sylvester's company and he is
pleased indeed to know that its life is

made, are feeling highly elated.
The Queen of Sheba is also looking
well. with fine bodies of good milling
gold ore disclosed in its workings, While
the min is working steadily with very
satisfactory results.
In Clifton district, according to the
doctor, Colonel G.. a. Henry and Hon.
j. n. Robinson are taking out good
copper ore and as soon as mineral
enough is in sight to justify, a smelter
Will be put in. The property owned
showing, as the ledge can be traced by
groupings for distance of 500 feet. The
ledge is from two to eight feet wide on
the surface and in sinking and drift

that Coe & Co. are getting out a lot of
good grade ore with the intention of
putting in a small water jacket smelter
in the near future. and it is reported
