POWER BROUGHT
FROM THE SIERRA
The Blue Lakes Plant
Successful.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

STOCKTON, June 3.-The powerful
voltage of electric power generated by
the Blue Lakes plant in the Sierras,
forty-five miles away, was sent over
wires to-day and the ponderous ma
chinery at the local power house sprang
into life. The trial of the line was in
the eyes of the experts entirely sue
cessful, but because everything did not
move as smoothly as on an old line
others were inclined to be dubious of
the success of the venture. c. p. Gill
bert, general manager of the Standard
Electric, said this evening the tests de-
veloped all that could be expected and
the frequent shutdOwns were not un-
usual, as there were many things that
could be adjusted only after an actual
trial showed where and what was lack
ing. He predicted everything would be
humming within short time.
1t is forty-five miles from the local
power-house to the main plant in the
mountains of Amador County. A feat
ure of the line which makes it unlike
any other in the United States is that
the wires are aluminium. Copper wire
is just as good but aluminium costs but
half as. much. The success of the line
probably will revolutionize many old
time ideas concerning the supposed in
diSpenSable requirement of copper
composition in all wires for heavy
voltage
AS soon as the local lines are in
working order power will be delivered
to the Sperry Mills and other big fac
tories, contracts having been obtained
months ago. The Stockton Gas and
Electric Company takes a large amount
of power.
Mr. Gilbert says the division to
Stockton would never have been con-
structed if that was all the company
had in view
The line to Stockton is only a step
to the bay Cities" he said. I'VE have
entered into an agreement with the
Oakland Gas and Electric Company to
supply it with power for illuminating
purposes and are now engaged in ne
gotiating with the railroad companies
of that city to furnish power for ope-
rating the car systems. In San Jose
we are negotiating with the Electric
Improvement Company and the rail
roads incidentally along the line to
the bay towns we will light Livermore,
Pleasanton. San Mateo and the string
of settlements in that vicinity, drop
ping Illuminating power as we go
along"
Mr. Gilbert was not definite as to
when San Francisco would be reached,
but he thought it would be by next
June at the latest The preliminary
surveys for the line to the bay are al
ready being made. AS the plans of
the company have been materially en-
larged since contracts were let for this
division additional wires must be
strung on the poles and other additions
made to insure the prompt delivery of
IL, 900 and more horsepower the COM
pany expects to contract to deliver.

We are sorry to learn that the Lam
bertville Rubber Company, Of whose
great prosperity the newspapers have
had much in lately, laid off ten of their
employees last week. We hope the de-
preston in work is but temporary, as
that company is It great benefit to
Lambertville. -Hunterdon Democrat.
Well, did you everl The company
referred to employs between four and
five hundred hands. The laying off of
ten hands, therefore, is not much to
mourn over. The laying off of hands
for few days on account of breakage
of machinery, or some otherreason out
side of short orders, is of frequent
occurrence The company is behind
with its orders, and all the travelling
statesmen have been called in because
of inability to fill new orders for few
weeks.
