Richard r. Lyman has been survey
ing lately, for the water system. Tae
intention is 20 carry the whole Battle
Creek stream from the canyon to the
settling tank, in earthen pipes, thus
saving preat deal OF water that would
sink into the ground The settling
tank will be stationed just east of the
city near the residence OF Isaac Carson.
Mains will be run from there over most
parts OF the city 50 that water will be
accessible by every one within the city
limits. Another project that will great
ly help to save the Battle Greek water
is that under consideration by the
Telluride Power Company. They have
filed on the Battle Greek stream and
intend running fume from the head
Of Battle Creek over the top OF the
mountain just north of the canyon.
A power plant will be stationed at the
foot Of the mountain and the city viii
pipe the water from there to the settl-
ing tank Enough water will thus be
saved to make up Tor what is used by the
water works. The proposition to be
carried out by the Telluride Power Co.
is the result Of the untiring efforts OF
Mr.. Harry Wadley. Some years ago he
became convinced Of the fine opportuni-
ty there was at Battle Creek for
power plant. lie tried to get the city
council and different capitalists inter
ested in the matter but was not sue
cessfu. This year he and Mr.. Carson
laid the matter before Mr.. Num- of the
Telluride Power company. The plan
was then 10 bring the ilume from the
head of Battle Greek falls. Mr.. Num-
had the position examined aud pro-
nouuced it too small for them TO do
any thing with. Messrs. Wadley aud
Carson extended the filings fmther up
the stream. Stll it would not give
enough power, then they proposed TO
bring the water from the head OF the
canyon over the mountain and Mr.
Num- expressed his willingness to con
slider it, Surveyors were set to work
on the mountain and they pronounced
it as practicable and payable. The
company at once took charge of 1t aud
work will be commenced rs soon as the
filings have passed through the land
Office. 1t is big project and will take
lots of capital, but it is pronounced as
an assured thing The company need
the power there as the Provo and Logan
streams are too low at this time of the
year to inrnish the req aired amount OF
power. Battle creek being added would
help out materially.
All should visit Wrishps new market
at Pleasant Grove.
