ADEQUATE WATER SUPPLY.
Two New Lines to Be Installed in the
Near Future.

From present Indications il appears
as though Goldfield will in the near
future be supplied with water sufi-
cient for alb purposes, including excess
demands which would follow in case
of fire. As was stated in the columns
Of the News of August 4, it is the pur-
pose to lay a new pipe line into the
city which will be entirely independent
Of the present system. This line will
extend from the summit of the malapi
to the San Carlos hotel on Main street.
Two tanks having n capacity of $4,000
gallons each are to te established at
a point on the hill where they will
afford a gravity fall of 300 feet, which
it ~ said, will supply a pressure suffi-
cient to throw n stream of water $50
feet in the air. Aside from this, the
management of the Goldfield Highland
Mining company intends to install a
pipe line and reservoir system from the
apex of Columbia mountain to its prop
critics. The supply will hc maintained
more particularly for mill purposes,
but as it will be in excess of 100000
gallons per day, a portion of it is to
| be devoted to the needs of the towns
of Goldfield and Columbia. The sur
veys have already beer made and a
gang of men will be put to work dig
ging the pipe trench immediately. The
| water will have a gravity fall of l76
feet. &
An additional safeguari against flu
ture fires of sueh serious nature
as that of July 9Th, is the anticipated
arrival of the $1,000 combination truck
and chemical wagon which was ordered
in the east some months ago. The ma
chine is now en- route here from Reno
and it's advent is looked for at any
time. 1t is to be housed on Main
street at a point where 1t will be readi-
ly available when needed. A light rum
ming hose cart has also been ordered in
| San francisco at a cost of $3.50, ex-

POWER COMPANY PUSHING WORK

Construction work on the line of the
Nevada Power, Mining and Milling
company is being pushed rapidly and
poles are being placed over a distance
of two miles each day. The men with
the wires and pliers are a close second
in the race, and it is expected that
power will be available for the mines
by the middle of September. The con
verter station in the saddle between
Vindicator and Columbia mountains
has been completed and the work of
installing the transformers is now on
There is still quite a gap to be closed
up between Bishop Creek and Gold
field, but it is expected that connee-
Ttfons will be made by the close of the
present month. The plant is being in
stalled for the purpose of supplying
Bullfrog, Goldfeld, Tonopah aud the
other mining districts of southern Ne
vada with electric power for the opera
tion of mining n milling plants. In
cidentally the promoters expect to de-
rive a revenue therefrom; and as their
plant will make it possible to treat ores
that are now thrown over the dump
owing to the present cost of handling
them, there is every reason to believe
that the project viii be a money maker.

ened means much to a camp and will
make available thousands of tons of
ore which eanot now be handled at

has been reached. With a wood tax
of $50 a cord, and coal almost as pre-
cious as it's sister carbon the diamond,
