The water system of St George, near
where the Paymaster mine Is located, is
dependent largely on it's water supply
from several large springs at the foot
of Pine Valley mountain, of the Pine
Valley range, distant eighteen miles. The
water follows natural channels for a
number of miles, and is conveyed by a
ditch some twelve lilies in length to St
George. The flow is considerably in ex-
cess of the inland citys requirements
and can be conveyed to drop off a high
hill north of the town, furnishing excel
lent water power. 1t is reliably stated
that Mr.. Lafayette Hanchett, during a
recent visit, agreed TO furnish st. George
an electric light system free of cost for
the sake of obtaining the surplus, and
