STREET ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
Estimates for Ex: ended Service Sent
to the DIST rtetECommittee.


The District Commissioners yester-
day sent to the District Committee of
the House estimates as to the cost of
lighting EastCapitoI street to and in
Guiding Lincoln Park by electricity. In
answer to request for that informa-
tion from the coMrnittee.
Under TIE existing " contracts with
the electric light companies the Dis
trict pays only for the maintenance of
such lamps as are sordered The COM
panies lay all conduits, make connec-
tions and furnish lamps. After ex-
planning this Mr.. Ross says:
For the proper lighting by cleo
trio arc lamps of the streets named
nineteen lamps are necessary on East
Capitol street, and thirteen lamps
around Lincoln Park. The cost of the
former, at the maximum rate allow
ed by law, is $91.25 per annum, or a
total of $1,733.75, and of the latter ST.
1S6.25. The total cost per annum for
the entire service viii be $2,920
I'm this connection it should be sta
ted that conduits extend on East Capl-
tol street only to Lincoln Park. If it
is desired to light the streets around
the park Congressional authority
should be given for the construction of
the necessary conduits, such extension
being expressly prohibited under exist
ing law"
Mr.. Ross letter is accompanied by
statement of the estimated cost of
erection of the lamps and the building
of the necessary conduit, the total
of which would be s4,9S7.35

San Antonio Texas. Jan. 20-Bailey
Willis, of Washington, ID, g, in charge
of the geological division of the United
States geological survey, arrived here
today from an extended investigation
OF the new gold mining district OF
Llano and Gillespie counties. He stat
ed TO the correspondent that he was
greatly surprised at the richness of the
district in minerals, and intimated that
If proper research was made for gold a
veritable Klondike might be developed.
He added
The Llano district is of special in
terest to geologists, and may probably
prove equally so to capitalists. The
rocks which are there uncovered are
very ancient, and have passed through
many changes in the course of their
long history. They have suffered those
alterations of internal structure and
have received those injections of min
eral solutions which are often associ-
ated with precious metals Gold and
various rarer metals are known to oc-
cur in Llano. The district is worthy
of thorough prospecting and testing.
If developed in an intelligent and con-
servatiVe manner, it may probably be
found TO contain paying properties"
