conceived the ingenious idea OF maxi
ing observations from balloons, tele-
graphed me that from a height OF a
thousand meters, one hundred leo
nides, twenty OF which were OF the first
magnitude, were observed from the
balloon"
The Herald also says that Percival
Spencer, the English aeronaut, went up
with two observers TO witness the leo
nide shower. They saw only five me
teors, but were near enough TO catch
some of the fiery vapor by a special
apparatus they had aboard

DEMAND FOR CHEAP POWER EN-
HANGING THE VALUE OF SUCH SITES
During the past five months $780,
900 of new capital have been invested

power and the construction of a pulp
mill at the Floriston plant Invest
ment Of new capital along the Truckee
will not cease with this as already

Which owns valuable site and propos-
es to invest $5oo,ooo or that part Of
it necessary to construct a power plant

tation Company. There will be no

accepted fact that the demand for the
power exceeds the possible supply and
the field of operations is an extensive
one. Consideration of climate. abun-
dant facilities, small incidental ex-
pense. large percentage of profit and
many other important details now en-
ter into the calculations Of experienced
investors and determine where their
money. can be invested to the best ad;-
vantage. In the columns Of the news
papers of-the land we constantly read
of new companies Incorporated, new
enterprises launched, new water
powers secured and new plants COM
pleted or in course Of construction.
The causes in other parts Of the coun-
try are different from those in Nevada
and we propose to consider only Ne
vada or the near neighborhood. New
inventions and improved machinery
lessening cost of production admit the
working Of low-grade ore and giving to
the producer the same profit that high
er grade ore gave him under increased
cost of production, and the employ
ment of his capital at remarkable
profit is pleasing to the investor and is
what he is seeking. Having sought
and found 1t is made patent to the
commonest apprehension why water
power on the Truckee should bring the
capitalist to seek 1t.
AT present there is plethora Of
capital in eastern money centers. The
majority of its owners shrink from diz-
zy gambling speculations in stock
markets and prefer what is safe and
sure. They carefully study the fields
Of investment and come to the con-
clusion that the risk is least and le-
climate profit most certain IN water

ally and increase in value as the coun-
try settles with increasing population.
The percentage of profit of the Flor
iston corporation on its first figures
was given by Congressman NeWland:
as SIS per cent per annum on the
amount invested. The contract fig
ures give about i49 per cent per annun

amounts is loaned at a. and s to lC
