Humboldt River Booming

We learn that the Humboldt river at
Palisade is higher now than it has been
at any time since 1891. The recent
storms have swollen the stream until it
is away over the banks. At Elko the
meadows are suffering much damage.
and west OF that town the water is out
on the fiat and in places the county road
is covered TO a depth of 20inches. Many
cellars about Elko are half full of water
and If the storms keep on it may be
found necessary to use boats on the
streets.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS FOR EUREKA
Plan for Using the Waste Waters
of Ruby Hill System Now
Being Discussed

The Ruby Hill Water Works have
recently cleaned but and retimbered
their tunnels and now have not only
a good supply OF water for Ruby Hill.
but q considerable quantity is being al
lowed to run to waste. The company
pipes the water from the Lucky Boy
springs in the neighborhood of Secret
Canyon summit, and this pipe can be
tapped within two miles Of the town Of
Eureka and the water brought down
from either RUDY Hill, Goodwin or
New York canyons.
An 800 foot pressure could easily be
obtained, which would be ample for
furnishing the necessary power for
Running dynamos for generating cleo
tricity in supplying electric lights for
business and domestic purposes in the
town of Eureka. An 800 foot fall is
about $50 pounds pressure to the square
inch, and this immense force can be
utilized on small turbine or Pelton
water wheels. After the water has
been used at the proposed electrical
plant it could then be used for other
purposes.
The utilization of this waste water
has already been discussed. and we
learn parties have submitted figures as
to the probable cost of installing an
electrical plant that would furnish the
desired number of lights.
This seems to be q much more feasible
plan than the proposition of generating
electrical power from Pinto Greek and
bringing it across the mountain into
Eureka.

Arrange For Your Fuel Early

Buy coal now. That is the advice
that all railroad officials are giving and
it is good. Those who can afford to
purchase their supply offuel should do SC
Immediately because the present prospect
is for u fuel famine the coming year
that will be worse than the last. Con,
ditions are such that the supply Of coal
available will undoubtedly be less and
the railroads will be in no better posi-.
ton to handle it mex year than they
were during the Winter just passed.

Vegetables and Fruits Badly Damaged

The heavy frosts that prevailed in
this and neighboring counties during
the past two weeks. have done great
damage to fruit. vegetable and alfalfa
crops. All the ranches in the vicinity
of Eureka will produce but small sup
plies Of all kinds of vegetables this
season, and the first crop of alfalfa is
badly stunted. While at Duckwater
the frosts did considerable damage to
fruit. vegetables and alfalfa, it Jared
far better than the ranchers on Currant
Greek. whose fruit crop. we learn. is
completely destroyed and the garden
truck badly damaged.
