RESERVOIR PROJECT
POWER AND WATER PLANT AT
EMPIRE.
Chain Of Reservoirs Planned, To
gether With Tunnel Through the
Range From Pacific Side.

q Denver. Feb. l5.-Capital has been
secured al Cincinnati. says the Re
publican. TO be used in constructing a
power and water plant at Empire, Col.
prado. w p. Clough. mayor of En-
spire, has just personally negotiated
Transactions In Cincinnati and is now
completing the details. Fred Shaffer,
a well-known mining man of that dis
4irict, is also interested in the deal.
The company will be known as the
Clear Creek County Power 4 lrriga-
1ion Company, and will have a capital
kof SL000.0O0. Construction work has
been commenced already.
Mr.. Clough and Mr.. Shaffer own the
land and water rights covering Middle
Clear creek from Empire west to the
summit of the Continental divide. This
includes the normal flow OF water in
that portion of Clear Creek, and he
sides this they have the appropriation
for the headwaters of Nasquez creek
on the Pacific coast side of the main
range, extending down to the survey
where the Moffat line will be built. AT
the present time the Camp chatter
Mining Investment and Power COrpor-
alton is driving an S,000foot tunnel
trough the main range to bring this
water through to Clear creek. While
opening up the silver-lead mineral
properties of this company, il will also
add 5000 inches of water to the regu-
: lar flow in Clear creek. or practically
double the amount of water flowing i'll
Clear creek.
A chain OF five storage reservoirs,
. having a capacity of 400. .000, 900 cubic
feet of water will be constructed by
building large dams, and from this re-
serve force. and the water flowing
through the tunnel and into the creek,
it will be possible to irrisate from lO.-
600 TO 1900 acres of land to the east
and northeast of Golden. where there
is not enough water now to accomplish
the purpose.
The power generated will be about
will represent the second largest in the
state. The fact that the plant will be
located about two miles above Empire
and only about fifty miles from Denver,
makes its possible to generate and
transmit power for sale to this city.
Il was greatly pleased to hear Of
!. Mr. Clough's success in the East said
>Mr. Shaffer last night. Il am heavily
interested in the new proposition and
Mr.. Clough and myself have spent
three years in getting things in shape.
He has worked hard and deserves sue
cess. There are many things in con-
neCtion with the big enterprise which
cannot be made public at this time, bat
one thing is certain, and that is that it
is one of the coming big propositions
of Colorado.

school Notes


There seems to be mistaken re-
port in circulation about the enroll
ment Of tho high school this year. It
is being noised about that the namber
Of pupils is not increasing proportion
ately as It should or is even decreas
ing. Such is not the case, as the fol-
lowing figures from the school statis
tics win show.
September 20, 1904 the school open
ed with an attendance Of 125 which by
the last Of the month increased to $50.
October 1905, the school opened
with 149 in attendance, which number
increased to ia by the close Of the
month The highest number registered
at any time last year was III, which
is 3 less than the number enrolled the
first Of the month this year. The great
est actual Attendance Of any one month
last year was 163. which Is II less than
that Of tho first month this year In
the month Of June last year the sc-
tual attendance was 1873. which Is al
less than the actual attendance the
FIRST month this year Besides those
in actual attendance at present wo
have several pupils that, on account
Of the crowded condition and for other
reasons, are attending the university
and private schools with the intention
Of coming back as soon AZ We move
in tho new building. The class that
viii enter in February consists Of a.
members, aud It is conservative esti.
mate to place their promotions at 40.
These In February will swell tho ranks
Of tho school 10 over goo.
Does this show any falling or in

as healthy a condition as could be Dc
sired.
