The prisoners were taken before United

SHOSHONI. Wyo.. July 80. 1909
Asmus Boysen Of Chicago. formerly a
member Of Congress from Iowa, oper-
ating as the Big Horn Power Company,
has invested 100000 in constructing q
dam OF concrete, reinforced with STEEL
IS feet high and 200 feet long, across a
canyon Of the Wind river. twelve miles
from Shoshoni, in the Copper mountains
He has five turbine wheels. each gener-
ating 1.0O0-horsepower. which is trans
mitted to the Boysen copper mine, be-
longing to himself and other operators in
the Copper mountain district. There are
several notable mineral operations there,
that of the Williams-Iuman Company Of
Billings. Mont, being the most produc-
tive.
This was part Of the old Shoshoni. or
Wind river. reservation, which was
thrown open to settlement several years
ago. Mr.. Boysen had an extensive graz
ing lease from the Indians, running for
twenty years, and the government, with
the approval of the Indians, offered him
the choice of any section of land upon
the reservation for a release. He selected
the canyon Of the Big Horn river. which
gives him control Of water power more
valuable than gold or precious stones,
and q permanent source OF revenue,
which moth cannot corrupt and which
thieves cannot break through and steal.
and 1t will grow more valuable as time
passes and this section of Wyoming fills
up with settlers. The capacity OF the
water power is practically unlimited and

Cost Will Be Lessened.

Mr.. John W. Cook. proprietor OF the
Wyoming State Journal, In discussing
this enterprise today. said:
1.-THE construction Of the Burlington
railway extension through the Big Horn
canyon will be greatly hastened and the
cost Of the work lessened by the use Of
electric power from the magnificent plant
recently completed by Asmus Boysen at
the mouth Of the canyon about fifty
miles from Lander, where he has built
dam thirty-f1ve feet high and harnessed
river. The railroad is to run through
the canyon for q distance Of about eight
cen miles, the solid rock walls rising
precfpitously to a height Of 300 to LOCO
feet. Under ordinary conditions progress
extreme difficulty OF Transporting fuel
and boilers. but power can be carried by
wires from the dam to any point wanted,
and in such quantities as are needed, at
q comparatively small expense. Power
near the dam, and also to the Hale gold
mine and the big Williams-Lunian copper
property. both Of which are situated on
Copper mountain and at no great distance
from the dam.
.sThe dam was built by the Ambursen
modern type. The big turbines and the
entire power plant are located inside the
dam. which is solidly built Of concrete.
The foundations are upon the solid rock
and the high walls Of the canyon tower
almost directly from the dam. making It
as enduring as the eternal hills. It is es-
timated that electricity can be furnished
at from $50 to $85 per horsepower per
year, while steam or gasolene power costs
in this locality from $500 to $3.50 per year.

Water Rights Mighty Valuable.

The man who owns the. water rights
in country like this can get all the
pasture he needs for nothing. because
no one will locate on a tract Of land
unless he can have access to water,

occupied indefinitely.
