BUTTE NEWS.
SCHEME IS A SUCCESS
Butte Lighted by Power From
the Big Hole.
HOPES OF THE PROMOTERS
Have Been More Than Fulf1lled-The
Butte Power Plant Closed Down.
The Facilities at the
Dam.
HOPES OF THE PROMOTERS

After overcoming difficulties which q
able, the hopes of the promoters of the
scheme to bring electrical energy from
the Big Hole river to Butte have been
realized. Butte was lighted last night
by power furnished by the plant of
the Montana Power Transmission COM
pany on the Big Hole river, three miles
above Divide.
The mysterious but irresistible force
first came in over the wires Of the
companys 2S-mile pole line Saturday
evening, when the testing of the plant
commenced. Tests have been in prog
sess nightly since and last evening
the regular business Of distributing
power throughout the city commenced
THE power plant of the Butte Lighting
and Power company on South Montana
street was shut down yesterday and
the company received its power from
the Big Hole. Power was also distrib-
uted to other consumers, but the con-
sumption of the power of the Big Hole
plant has not become as general as it
will be in a few days.
The company is now bringing 1000
horse power to the city, which is being
generated by two generators of 1000
horse power each, which are run by
two turbine wheels of equal power
each. The company has two more
wheels Of 1000 horse power each in
position and two more generators,
which will be put in during the winter
as the demand for more power in
creases. When these are in the COM
pany will have 1000 horse power and
the works are so constructed as to ad-
INIT of the addition of an extra wheel
and generator which will give an ag-
gregate of 5000 horse power when it
Ehall be needed.
The completion Of the plant has been
rarried on so quietly and unostenta-
tiously that few people We're aware that
the perfection of one of the largest
and most important enterprises under
taken in this section in recent years
was so near at hand. It's entire success
is its most gratifying feature to the
men who have carried it through. From
the beginning of the tests last Saturday
evening to the actual beginning of ope-
rations last evening not a hitch has
occurred and the plant has worked to
the greatest perfection. So perfect has
been the operation that the lighting
company in shutting down it's works
yesterday did so in the security that
there was no fear of an interruption
of the transmission of power. That so
much success has crowned the labors
of the promoters is not alone gratifying
to the parties in interest. for it has
