 During the past week the work of completing the ice plant has been fin ished. All the machinery is now in place, the pipes are fixed, the water sys- tenn completed, the water tanks up, and pipes connected, the pumps installed, machinery for operating them in place and ready for running and everything connected with the freezing of the ice and cooling of the rooms ready for op- eration. The transformers are in place, and transmission wires all connected. so the works are ready to receive the electric current from the Holtville pow CT house, and deliver it to the motor which will operate the ice plant. Ev- erything is just as near ready for the trial run as it can be gotten, only the large 80-horse- power electric motor has not arrived yet. It should have been received at least two weeks ago, as it | was shipped from the Eastern manu- lecturers nearly two months ago. Trac- CTS have been sent out for it and it has been determined that it was received in San Francisco nearly month ago. No further trace of it has been found, at least none has been reported to MT. Holt. It is not believed that the motor was destroyed in the San Francisco fire or earthquake, but simply that it has gotten mislaid. A vigorous search is being made for it and it is believed that it will be found and delivered in very few days. The work of putting the fin ishing touches onto the power plant at Holtville has been completed and water was turned through the great water wheel for the first time last Tuesday. | Everything worked as smooth as possi- | ble, the dynamos soon beginning to produce an electric current.
