TO GET
POWER r TAHOE

development of power from the waters
of Lake Tahoe are admitted to be of
broad scope and involving the sale of
water as well as electric power, but
the details are carefully guarded
against publicity at the present time.
"The syndicate controls the only
outlet to Lake Tahoe" Attorney A. +.
Boynton, who represents Harmon, said
yesterday. ssThere has formerly been
a log dam at that point, but there IS
now being constructed a cement dam,
and the corporation which will be or
ganized by the syndicate expects to
use the waters of Lake Tahee to a very
large extent for the development of
power.
An Extensive System.
Boynton went on to state that a
transmission line would be built to
Sacramento, and to supply the valley
with light and power, pointing out
that the distance of the power plant
from San Francisco was less than
that of several of the other power
plants now in operation.
On the other side of the mountains
it is the intention of the company to
supply practically the entire state of
Nevada, and it purposes to build a
transmission line 400 miles in length.
This will be one of the longest lines
in existence, but it is thought that the
dry climate of Nevada will make its
operation a success.
In January the plants of the syndi-
cate were threatened by a suit which
the secretary of the interior ordered
the department of justice to bring
against Harmon, to wrest from him
the possession of the land at the out
let of Lake Tahoe, and the control Of
the water.
Within the last few weeks Harmon
has perfected an arrangement with the
government whereby these suits will

ga year and a half ago Harmon and
Boum took options on the control of
the stock of the Truckee River Cen
eral Electric company" Boynton said.
"That company controls the Union
Light and Water company, the Reno
Power, Light and Water company, and
several other subsidiary concerns. 1t
supplies gas, electricity and water for
Reno, electricity for Sparks, and power
for the mines at Virginia City and the
gypsum plant near Carson, as well as
electricity for Carson, Yerrington and
Gardnerville.
Options were also taken for the pur-
chase of the property of the Loon
Lake Water and Power company,
which operates in the vicinity of Loon
Lake and the Rubicon river, in Ell Do
! RADIO county.

putting in sight more ore than several
ten-stamp mills can reduce in the next
score of years. An increase in the mil
ing capacity is the only thing required
to make the property a big and steady
producer.
The Skidoo Mines company conttn-
ues to grind out satisfactory profits
every month. The company issues reg
ularly monthly reports to stockholders
and those of the past three moths
show profits ranging from $15,4l7.46 to
$17,9S1.57. During March bullion to
the total value of $24,1s4.01 was pro

During April, 916 IONS were mIlied
with a total bullion recovery OF $23.-

mated at $4,000 and concentrates at

PAYS FIRST

The desert country is coming out in
the lime light, says the Rhyolite Her
aid. The desert country is redeeming
itself. Dividends are fast becoming
the order of the day; are really getting
to be fashionable. The Pioneer Leas-
ing has declared a dividend, and now
comes the news that the Skidoo Mines
company is quietly paying a dividend,
with checks for the various amounts
now in the mail. While coming quietly
and almost unexpectedly this is indeed
very welcome news, and is a reward for
the faith of the ~toilers.
The Skidoo Mines company under
the domination of A. E. (Bob) Mont
gomery has been working hard for
three years to develop its property and
get it into profitable condition. Perch
ed on top of mountain peaks it was sit
uated a long way from a water supply,
which necessitated the bringing of
water a distance of twenty-five miles
at a cost of a quarter of a million
dollars, with another hundred thou
sand dollars expended in other work.
About fifteen months ago they got a
ten-stamp mill into operation, and
then has been grinding out the
bullion. All Indebtedness has been
cleared away. and without making any
fuss about it a dividend aggregating
$50, 900 is being paid. This is at the
rate of five cents per share on one
million shares.
This company owns twenty-three
claims and fractions, all practically il
on group, located in Inyo county,
about so miles from Rhyolite. The de
velopments carried on by the company
and several sets of leasers has uncov
cred numerous veins and ore bodies.

RUNNING from 81 a pound and upward.
Heretofore the extremely rich rock
from National was brought here and
taken to the assay office and then
crushed before being shipped to the
smelter, and it was deemed advisable
to reduce the ore, the greater part of
which is half gold, to bullion here.

San Francisco, July 15.-W. r.
Harmon and a syndicate of English
capitalists and New York and Boston
bankers completed yesterday the pay
ments amounting to $4,000, 900 on a
combination of water and power com.
panies in the Sierra, which are to be
Incorporated under the name of the
Lake Tahoe Power and Water CON-
pany, and in the development of which
it is proposed to expend not less thar
: 100000 annually for the next four
years.
The principal purpose of the syndi-
cate is the development of power from
the water of Lake Tahoe, of which it
controls the only outlet, and transmits
sion lines will be run on both sides of
the mountains, supplying the entire
state of Nevada as far east as Ely.
and on this side to Sacramento. and
through the valley of the Sacramento
river.
At the same time it was announced
that w. p. Harmon, who is still in the
east, has reached an agreement with
the United States government, where
by the suits in which the interior de
partment has made him a defendant in
the federal courts in seeking to pro-
teet the Truekee-Carson project from
the e~ncroachment of Harmon on the
waters of Lake Tahoe, have all been
dismissed.
The entire output of the plants now
combined, together with that which
will be developed to 100000 horse.
power, and the assertion is made that
it will exceed in magnitude the Great
Western Power company.
The concerns which have been con
solidated by the Harmon syndicate
are the Truckee River General Electric
company, the control of which Ham
mon recently purchased from the
F1eischhackers; the California Nevada
Electric Power company, which had
been controlled by F. G.. Baum and
Francis v. Keesling, and the Loon
Lake Water and Power company,
which has been in the hands of Chick
ering & Gregory.
Final Payment Made.
The final payment on the last option
was made yesterday afternoon, com.
pleting a total of 100000 paid for
these properties. Harmon is said to
have expended 100000 personally in
the investment and in keeping the OPP
erations alive during the formation of
the syndicate. The balance represents
the investment of the English capital
lists, and it is purposed to expenl
81, 000, 900 more in the development of
the properties, while other concerns
may possibly be taken in at a later
date.

NATION WIDE MOVEMENT
Will Try to Evoke General

People are Expected to Make Such a
Demand for Aid That Congress will
be Forced TO Give Them What

The International League for High

tional Road Association, with head
quarters in New York, will have in
troduced in the next session of Con-
gress q bill which intended to pave
the way for national aid in highway
improvement by the various states.
The league does not believe it possible
but hopes by this entering wedge to
provoke such public demand that
Congress can not long ignore it,
THE league feels it will be impossi-
BILE to obtain national aid for highway
improvement until some definite plan
is outlined for the work." said E. 1.

league, last night. For that reason II

extent of providing funds for a
practical survey and experiments by
commission of experts. II we can
accomplish this and get the public
lSinterestsd tand <in asympathy we with

| rriation of $1,000,000, or as much

necessary to the completion of such
system. This work could be done
IN coordination with state highway
| commissions. 1t is proposed at ali
times to cooperate as much as possi-
BILE with the states in road improve
met and maintainance.
In addition the commission would
experiment with the various road
making materials, with view of as
certaining the best materials to be
used under stated conditions, prepare
extensive plans and estimates on each

Animals Are Poor Sailors.

The polar bear is the only wild ami.
NAL that likes trip on the water, ac-
cording to French scientist who has
studied its behavior at sea. He is
quite jolly when aboard ship. but all
other animals violently resent such
voyage and vociferously give vent to
their feelings until seasickness brings
silence.
The tiger suffers most of all. He
whines pitifully, his eyes water con-
tinually. and he rubs his stomach with
his terrible paws. Horses are bad
sailors and often die on sea voyage.
