ELECTRIC PLANT

Company Plans to Harness Grand River

power Works.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-THE remark
able development Of electrical power
companies in the Western States is at
tracted by the formation OF another
large enterprise 10 develop electrical
energy in Colorado from the Grand
River. II is the Central Colorado Power
Company, which has a capital stock Of
SO, 500 600.
II is proposed eventually to develop
100000 horsepower and a local syndicate
has been formed to finance the proJec.
The bankers interested in II are Lee,
Higginson & Co, or Boston; ". p. Bon
bright * Co.. of this city, and the Elec-
trio Bond and Share Company, popu-
larry supposed TO be controlled by the
General Electric Company. As a mat
ter OF fact. experts who are IN charge
OF the development work of the Central
Colorado Power Company are General
Electric men and the experts connected
with the Electric Bond and Share Com
pany.
syndicate already has been formed
TO carry the plans OF the Central Power
Company 10 a successful termination.
For this purpose $1,000 600 in cash has
been subscribed. A part of this was
raised in London. but the majority ot
BOSTON.
Colorado, so the engineers say, is z
locality where steam power is the most
costly in the United States, mainly OF
account OF the high attitudes IN which
the chief manufacturing centers are 10
Gated. On this account II is believed
that electrical energy viii supplant th'
other more costly sources of power.
Experts stated yesterday that there j:
no longer any doubt about the ability o.
power companies TO transmit energy
long distances. In California power
companies are now transmitting elec
trical power a distance of more than 80
miles. The development of long distanct
power has been phenomenal. according
70 these experts, when It is considered
that ten years ago there was some dOub
about the ability OF the power companie
10 transmit electrical energy from Mia

Hon. p. F. Collins Dead.

Patsy F. Collins, member elect of the twenty-third legislative Council, of the territory of Arizona, died at Needles, California, last Wednesday morning, after an illness of several months. The immediate cause of death was bright's disease.
 Patsy Collins, as he was familiarly known, was born in Ireland sixty-sev- en years ago, and came to America with his parents when but small child, settling in Lowell, Mass. He entered the army and fought on the Union side during the war and re- ceived an honorable discharge. Later he came to California and in 1871 came to Mohave county, where he en- gagged in mining. He was one of the first owners of the famous Keystone mine, at Mineral Park. During his residence in this county he held a number of positions of honor, which he filled with credit. He was mem- Der of the legislative assembly two terms. The past ten years he was en- gagged in mining in San Francisco min- ing district and was the owner of val uable mining property. His property was under bond at the time of his death. He was a wholesouled man, making friends wherever he went. Among the old timers of this county his death will cause genuine regret.
 The funeral was held at Needles Thursday afternoon and the remains were followed to the grave by large number of old friends and acquaint- anceS.

A Royal Slave.

The Portland Oregonian says: The first presentation in this city of A Royal Slave at the Empire yesterday afternoon had the effect of filling the house to overhowing, and that the large audience was we'll entertained is evidenced by the generous recep. tion accorded the players.
 The plot is laid in Mexico and deals with incidents affecting the brief reign of Emperor Maximillian. While the principal strength of the piece seems to be centered around Fl Aguila (the Eagle), who is designed as the "last of the Montezumas, it is liberal enough in it's general features to allow all the different characters chance for some good acting, and this opportunity is taken advantage of in it's broadest sense.
 There is not a flaw or hitch in any of the acting throughout the whole play; and A Royal Slave IS certain to make the Empire more popular than ever. It has enough dash and spirit about it to keep the audience inter- ested constantly, and moreover deals with period as well as people that has tendency to arouse all the senti- ment and ideality in human nature.
