POWER PLANT
Will BE BUILT

a. c. Pratt is quietly working ON
his electric power plant project on
the Carson river and has succeeded
in interesting enough capital to carry
out his scheme. All Necessary surveys
have been made and the capacity of
the plant and other details are now
being figured out. 1t said work on the
plant willicommence before the CON-
pletion Of the v. & T. extention.
No where In Western Nevada
could thare be found more probable
investment. This Valley alones will.
use enough electricity for lighting and
power purposes to Justify the erect
ion of moderate sized plant. As the
Carson river affords unequaled water
power sites, and being shorter dis
tance to the Comstock than the power
plants which are at the present
furnishing thousands and thousands
of horse power of Juice" to the mines
1t is being utilized as cheap power to
operate the large pumps in an eudeav-
or to remove the water from the lower
levels of these famous mines. AS the
plants that are now furnishing power
to these mines are working to their
fullest capacity, and the need of more
power increases daily, it is more than
probable that that the promoters of
the Carson river project will hunt Il
market other than this Valley for the
consumption of their 'juice"

Russians Do Not Expect a Battle For
Some Time.

ST Petersburg. April % ; a m.-Ad-
miralty circles are coming to accept the
view that there will be no great or gen
eral action between the fleets of Russia
and Japan for some time, basing their
belief on strategic and tactical reasons
which incline Admiral Togo to avoid de-
cisive action until he has made every eff
fort to demoralize the Russian fleet bv
torpedo attacks and interference with
transport bv his cruiser division.
The admiralty last evening secuted the
reports that engagements have already
occurred. pointing out the great distance
separating the places where the dis
patches originated, and naval staff dis
patch states that dispatches from every
source should not only be doubted but
even mistrUsted.

mates that there is q possibility that Vice

Suicide Theory
Perhaps the most interesting deveI-
opment I'm the testimony of today in
the trial of Nan Patterson for the muir
der OF Caesar Young came when Coro-
ner's Physician O'HanIOn took the wit
ness stand for the prosecution and said
in reply to question that he had
committed suicide.
Dr. O'Haulon performed the autopsy
on Young's body. In his testimony to-
day he said:
My present opinion is not the opin-
ion i formerly expressed to Coroner
Brown"
He did not know of the relations of
Young and the defendant at the time
that report was made, he said. In re-
ply to Mr.. Levy, however. he admit
ted that ne had expressed the opinion
that il was a case of suicide, even
after he had heard the facts of the re-
lations between Miss Patterson and
Young. He said that he was Influenced
in his first decision that Young COM
mitted suicide by black spots on the
inside or the dead mans fingers, which
he believed to be powder stains.
