Electricity S fast sIperseding steam

OF tne We 1u2hOuse Electric & Manu-

1891 there was not an electric transmit

manipulated by electricity. while the 90

in the west the plants u operation come
up 10 fully 10000 horse power, with more
gong I'D. / recently closed a contract
with the De Lamar mine to erect a pant
down there to operate their HOSTS. Some
how or other the mining men did not
take kindly at first TO electric motive

they say that they prefer electricity ever-
time. At Cripple Greek. since the Stand

Granite Portland Moon and Anchor
which a few months ago were pumping
out water at the rate Of 600 gallons a

electric power in the near future" Con-
tinuing, Mr.. Cargo said: Our firm
erected the plant which you have at JOr-
dan NarrOWs, and when the Mercur min
ders of electricity they will undoubtedly
discard steam and tap that great power
house for the motive power for their
mines The electrical engineer further
won't on to state that, owing to the gTOTr.,
ing demand for electricity in all walks Of
life, the Westinghouse concern had erect
ed branch factories in Manchester Eng
land. Paris and St. Petersburg which
employed hundreds of hands. He said
that his firm had erected numerous plants
IN South America, the Orient and South
Africa, and that when this war in the
Transvaal was over, there was an out
look and scope for further DEVELOPMENTS
in electrical affairs in the Cape
Taken from first to last, I should say
that we have had 400 cases of smallpox
in Butte during this present outbreak -
said DR.. o. B. WhitfOrd of that city at
the Knutsford yesterday. '"The trouble
at the commencement OF the outbreak
was that the practitioners were inclined
TO diagnose the disease as being measles.
and when it was discovered that &c was
smallpox the first patient was hustled
out to the pest house, where there was
no ire and cOnveniences, with the result
that ne died. Out of the 400 cases. how
ever, there have been but two deaths all
tod. At one time there were sixty pa
tents in the pest house. The cause OF The
outbreak. although it never was clearly
traced, was put down as having been
imported from Manila"
l. B. Mexican came into town yesterday
from Milford and registered at the Gull
len. Mexican is at present engaged in
capacity of forwarding agent for the
supplies for the De Lamar mine in Ne
vada- Despite the fact that there was a
recent death from the deadly dust in
that mining camp. he says that the stu
alton in that Frespect has materially
changed for the better.
j.. p Madsen, postmaster at Manti,
registered last night at the White House
de reports that dust was still flying on
left there yesterday. Mr.. Madsen saws
tina the report to the effect that the mall
contract at present existing between the
United states government and the San
pete Valley railroad will shortly be can
celed Is without foundation. and probably
arose from the fact that the mail service
between Manti and all points outside the
county has for some time past been trans
ferred to the Rio Grande Western. De-
spite the fact that an effort was made to
institute a star route between Spring
City and Mt. Pleasant, he saws that the
Sanpete Valley Railroad company will
undoubtedly continue to carry the mails
as heretofore.
