From these figures the magnitude
or the company's business can be read
lily seen. The conveniences and econ
omy OF electricity. along all mechani-
cal lines. is rapidly becoming known.
In fact practically every new indus
try now is electrically driven.
Here Is striking example Of the
economy of electric power. The local
company buys its coal from a nearby
mine. And that mine finds II cheaper
to purchase electric power from the
company than to make its own steam
power at the mine mouth. The asme
condition is found all over the mining
regions.
In domestic economy electrical ap-
pliances are rapidly taking a promi-
nent part The electric fat iron, cleo
trio heaters and scores OF other ap-
pliances are In use in Canon City
homes. The use OF these conveniences

Colorado Light g. Power
Company
Is an Industry Of Sterling
Worth, for It Pays
More Wages IN
Canon City
than Consumers Pay for
Light.
Vast Scope of IT'S Broad
and Increasing Field.

Canon City is proud of the Colorado
Light and Power company. With its
central power plant and general offices
located here, the industry is one the
biggest, best and most permanent in
the valley Current from the big gen.
orators, mixed with the enterprise of
local business men, has turned Canon
into an electric city. At night. especial
ly in Main street district, 1t Is truly a
city of lights. And the glimmer of in
candescent globe is on the increase al
ways.
1t is rather surprising to know that
this company pays out more money, as
wages, in Canon City than the COM
munity pays for light. But such is the
fact. During the year from October /,
1906, to October l, 1907, the company
had in its employ an average of 40
men. To these men was paid in wages
during the year $3S ,50O.69. During the
same year the company received from
consumers of light, $37 1856.
CanÌƒon City record. [volume] (CanÌƒon City, Colo.) 1883-192?, 1907-12-12

the Canon City plant has made it 80.
The scope of the local plant Is
shown by the fact that more energy
is made here in one day than Canon
City alone could consume in a month.
Yet with all this scattered market
for the electric commodity, taxes on
the company's property are paid in
Canon City and Fremont county The
local benefit of the concern Is hard to
estimate. And it is growing bigger all
the time.
The field of operation OF the c. l.. &
P. Co. is constantly being extended.
During the past three years the COM
pany has installed power at the fol-
lowing coal mines and other Industries
in the Canon field: Nonac mine; En-
pire Zinc Co., Royal Gorge mine, Chan
dler mine, Great Western mine. Rock
vale mine and Radiant mine. Through
the Arkansas Valley Lighting COM
pany, to which current Is wholesaled,
Florence and many industries in that
vicinity are supplied.
At present big construction gang
is working on an extension of the

1t would be hard to imagine an in
dustry anywhere that Is of more bene-
fit. The figures show a unique situa-
ton, especially when the company is
operating for public service. But it is
easily explained. Canon City in only
one department of the company's big
field of operations. The Cripple Creek
district is supplied with current from
the Canon City station. Thousands of
volts are carried to this great mining
region through high potential wires
and distributed to the various indus
tries there. Air compressors, for the
operation Of mining drills, are run by
Canon power. The street railway sys-
tenn is operated by the same energy.
The new drainage tunnel, for the
drainage of many gold mines, is be-
ing driven through the rock with eIec-
trio power. The district shows a steady
increase in the amount of power con-
sumed all the time. In fact, electricity
is the only logical power for that kind
of mining in a region where fuel and
freight rates are high. So the district
is practically an electric camp, and

relegated to the past Busy brains are
continually working along inventive
lines. and each month sees something
new along the line Of electric utility.
Nothing adds so much to the appear
ance of town as well-lighted stores.
No light is SO effective and 90 sure -
electricity. Canon City is well Oh In
this respect And the effectiveness Of
its window lighting is constantly In
creasing.
Manager Wallace and his corps Of
assistants know the electrical business.
II Is their constant aim to please tha
patrons OF the company. and their big
increase in business shows that their
work is successful. The policy OF the
company Is to be up to date In every
particular. Every new device known
to electrical science is placed at the
disposal OF local consumers. Persoas

cheerfully supplied with estimates o.
the cost of installation and the running
cost OF electrical power. It's conveo.

when completed, will make total Of
20 miles Of high potential line in the
valley district. 1t is also the purpose
of the company to extend their line
to Portland in the near future.
Power for the proposed TriBullion
smelter will be contracted for as soon
as that concern is ready for operation.
When the new street railway to the
