ELECTRICAL POWER.
The Limitations of the Transmission
of the Electric Fluid.


We have before US, says the Western
Mining World, a catalogue of one of the
best known electric manufacturing
concerns in the country, in which are
enumerated plants, with detailed data.
aggregating a combined capacity of
one-Quarter of million horse power
of polyphase electric transmission ap-
paratus. By far the largest percentage
of this work is carried out with the aid
of water power as the initial source of
energy. The undated increase in the
utilization of such powers, both here
and abroad, made possible by the aid
of electrical transmission, ought to be
sufficient evidence of the financial sue
cess achieved by such plants in the
past, and it is safe to say that no halt
will be called in the march of progress
begun so auspiciously.
1t is hardly to be expected that every
enterprise of this kind should prove an
unqualified success. but we can look
with complacency on the few instances
in which trouble has been experienced
and we do this in the belief that by
pointing out the mistakes that have
been made service will be rendered to
those who are now operating, or who
contemplate the installation of water
power transmission plants.
The few instances referred to NAV be
simmered down to two general causes.
namely, that some companies have
bitten off, more than they can han
die, while others have suffered from
bad initial engineering, or again, from
both causes combined. For instance.
we know where a company was unable
to maintain the normal candle power of
its lamps owing TO the severe drought
and a defective dam. Another case
where company had contracted to
furnish city with 200 horse power. The
company has not been able to do this
of late. Here again the trouble is due
TO a lack of water in the mountains.
But what will be more a matter of
general surprise is the rumor that one

Price, Utah, Sept. 10.-Bert Seaboldt,
manager of the Good Hopes Placer

placer grounds on the Colorado river,
came in from the diggings today, and
ordered several tons of supplies for a
campaign Of active work. These went
out today by team. and more are to fol-

went this afternoon. THE water in the

Attempt to Assassinate a Wyoming
Cattle Man.
Especial Correspondence)

Casper. Wyo., Sept. 10.-While en-
gagged in rounding up cattle yesterday.
Dan Sullivan. an employee of the "Cy''
cattle outfit. was fired upon by some
one in ambush. Sullivan was slightly
wounded in the left forearm. and his
horse was shot from under him. Sui
hvan then made his escape on foot.
There is no clue to the would-be muir
derers. but the belief is prevalent here
that the work was done by members
of the Hole-in-the-Wall band of cattle
rustlers, who have sworn to kill anyone
who works under Bob Devine, who has
killed several members of the gang.
and who has waged war against them
for several wears.

THATcHER's POSITION.

The ovation accorded Hon. Moses
Thatcher by the convention yesterday
was taken by some as significant of his
being against Roberts, and by others
as being in favor of that gentleman's
candidacy. Both factions, however,
Joined in the greeting, and in his sub
seGuent speech Mr.. Thatcher avoided
any reference to the congressional fight,
and the efforts of both factions to as
certain his position have been fruit
less, as he emphatically denies having
any desire to enter the political field
and take sides with any candidate
Some OF his most intimate friends
claim. however, that unless a stronger
man appears. he will support Roberts
if he declares for anybody, which is
improbable. His reception here yester-
day demonstrated one thing, however,
that he has quite as many friends in
the Democratic party here as he ever
had, who would be ready to do battle
for him again.
