WORK STARTEDI
ON POWER PLANT

During the past week the Walk
er River Power company placed a
number of surveyors in the field to
locate reservoir sites and the line
and width of canal between
Bridgeport and Sweetwater. Two
reservoir sites have already been
practically decided upon. One
north OF Bridgeport, where a dam
80 ieet wide will back water over
an area of seven miles long and
IL miles wide.
The other site was selected a
short distance above the Conway
ranch, near Sweetwater, and will
require dam rs feet wide, which
it is approximated will send the
water back more than four miles
distant. Construction work will
follow very soon it il said.
This is the company which was
sounded by the coterie OF gentle
men, who purchased the Conway
ranch on East Walker river some
30 days ago, and afterwards in
corporated at Reno, in the sum of
$1,000, 600. The personnel of the
company is made up of men well
known In western financial mark
