Sutro Tunnel Overflow Power

The pumps at the G. & c. and Ward
shafts are raising 12,24O,OOO gallons
of water to the Sutro tunnel level
every twenty-four hours, the outflow
representing a volume sufficient to
operate dynamo plants that would
furnish ample power for operating a
two-hundred stamp mill and leave a
surplus for supplying mine hoist
plants with electric energy and light
ing purposes. The Chronicle stated
years ago that the tunnel overflow
would be utilized for the purposes
mentioned at no remote date and the
recent statement of Franklin Leon
ard, Jr, to that effect corroborates
the forecast with the additional in
formation that electric power will be
further utilized in place of mules
for transporting ore and waste cars

he seems to be very much the same
gentleman who talked good things be-
fore the election
He did not state to the editor his
intentions or his next move on the
big map of states We do not know
whether he intends remaining in the
State or taking up his duties at Wash

open to him to make any explanation

POWER FOR MANHATTAN
T. 3. Hickey Will Extend His Line
to Manhattan

T. B. Hickey, who is heavily inter-
ested in Manhattan, Tonopah and
Goldf1eld, is authority for the state
ment that electric power is to be
transmitted to Manhattan.
One of his engineers came in from
the district Thursday evening and he
and Mr.. Hickey talked the matter ov-
er. A survey is to be run at once
and material for the stations and
power is to be ordered. 1t is the in
tention to begin operations as soon
as the weather permits. The power
comes from Bishop Creek, the same
that is supplying Tonopah and Gold
field, which is one Of the finest plants
on the coast.
With electric power in Manhattan
the camp will step up in jumps, as it
means cheap hosting and milling
power. Many Of the mines that have
contemplated erecting steam and gaso-
line hoists will now place electric
rigs over their shafts. 1t will give
Manhattan another boom and make
il larger spot on the map.

his dexterity with gun and he used
for a target a nickle-in-the-slot ma

SNOW FIFTY FEET IN DEPTH
Sunset and Western Union Poler are
Entirely Covered in Spots.

TRUCKER, Cal, March Iz2.-Jas.
Henderson, a lineman employed by
the Sunset company, stationed at Cis-
co and who has charge OF the COM
pany's lines throughout the entire
section over the summit, was in True
kee Saturday and said that the snow
in many places on the mountains was
fully fifty feet deep.
Between Cisco and Emigrant Gap is
a canyon that is 40 feet deep. II is
filled with snow and a man with
snow shoes can walk from one ridge
across to the other.
About five miles west of Truckee
there is another canyon where the
wind makes clean sweep out into
Bonner Lake Valley. In this canyon
it seems that the wind blowing across
it carried with it drifting snow and
as a conquence there is bank of the
beautiful forming perpendicular
white cliff fully two hundred feet in
height.
Mr.. Henderson also said that the
telephone poles were standing in
many feet of snow and that wires are
covered also. and when it begins to
melt the company will have a great
deal of trouble in keeping up the
wires between fruckee and Cisco.
He says that as soon as the snow
starts to melt it will break the wires
by settling down To make these re-
pairs, should the weather moderate,
will cost the company many thousands
of dollars as men will have 20 remove
snow in places fully fifty feet deep.
At present the wires are working
well, despite the fact that they are
buried in the snow To his know
ledge the company's wires were never
in such danger of being broker in
so many places at one tine as they
are now should the weather moder
ate.

TO COOL THE SUBWAY.
Ne50 DeUice Under Construction at
Brooklyn Bridge Station.

A plant for cooling the air IN the Brooklyn Bridge
station Of the subway is under construction. II is
expected that It will be in operation before the end
Of next month, and. II Il is as successful as is
hoped, similar plants VIII be built at other stations
The principle OF the plant-or plants, for there
are two Of them, the uptown and one on
the downtown side-is that Of cooling air by pass
ing Il over cool water forced through large coils
There fans to draw the fresh air in from the
street and also to force it into the station after it
has been cooled.
The water used in cooling the air is obtained
from four driven wells two at the northern end OF
each island platform. There is a pump capable OF
drawing 45O gallons Of water minute connected
with each pair Of wells The water which comes
out at a temperature Of from ffty-two to sixty
TWO degrees Fahrenheit Is conducted TO two large
coils of pipes, which the air passes. Each coil
contains four miles OF small! cast iron pipe gtviv
surface sufficient cool $4,000 cubic feet OF air
minute. From the coolers the afr will be dis
tTibuted to the station through large galvanized
iron ducts running over the four platforms It is
estimated that the temperature in stations will be
lowered at least fifteen degrees.
Several other cooling experiments will be tried
this summer, and by another season 1t is hoped to
all the stations equipped with the device that
proves the most successful Work is also going on
in making the openings between the stations
in which automatic valves are to be installed
