MILLIONS FOR ELEcrRTIcATIoN

A representative of one of the lead
Ing electrical engineering firms IN the
United States says:
I'VE figure that there is 500, 000,-
900 of electrical equipment for steam
roads under consideration In this
country including work planned by
the New Haven. New York Central,
Pennsylvania, Hartman lines and
others. One of the eastern trunk
lines is planning an expenditure OF
s35,00O,000 In identification.
1.-The New Haven railroad electri-
fication will be extended to New Ha-
ven, Conn. and work upon this sec
ton will soon be started. Plans are
also prepared for electrical installa-
ton on the New Haven road between
Providence and Boston.
THE New York Central will like
wise extend its system running out
OF New York, and has plans In en-
bryo for the electrification OF the
Boston & Albany out of Boston
AS between the New York Central
and New Haven systems. 1t Is claim
ed that the New Haven Is showing the
greatest economies In operation, but
the New York Central has $2,50o,-

MOUNTAIN OF PURE SALT.

Three miles south of st. Thomas
on the Virgin river are located noun
tains of salt, almost pure. 1t will be
mined when the railroad gives the
Muddy an outlet, says the Las We
gas Age. At the Chicago fair this
salt took first premium, being 99h
per cent pure. A newspaper can be
read easily through four-inch cube
Hon. Levi Syphus estimates 6,000,-
900 tons of rock salt In sight. Rock
salt at Los Angeles sells at SIS per
ton, which would allow a good profit
on the salt on building a railroad
down the Muddy and Virgin to the
mine. On the coast 100000 tons OF
salt are used annually. Liverpool
salt brings 500 per ton and this St
Thomas salt equals the Liverpool ar
tlcle.

mill men claim they could mill that
kind of ore at the mine for 40 cents
a ton. If II cost three times that
much for milling the Golden Glory
Co. has a bonanza, as the ore shipped
was not nearly as rich as that taken
from the goo foot level. The ship
ment was made from ore taken from
