An important factor in Carson
City's future prosperity is found in
the development OF the power plans
of the California-Nevada Electric
Power company, which few weeks
ago purchased the control of the
Truckee River General Electric COM
pany, says the Carson News.
This corporation will expend sew
eral million dollars tributary to this
city. Most of this will be expended
in construction work-for labor and
materials. Carson City can furnish
some of the labor, if any of her citi-
zens are idle at the time, but hun
dreds of men may be brought in from
the outside to supply the demand this
company will make. Some of them
will undoubtedly bring their families.
1t is not beyond the range of posi-
bility that this city will be made a
sort of headquarters for all of this
work, which will consist in all of
about twelve power houses, together
with the ditch and pipe lines and res
ervoirs. There are four different
systems on each of which restraining
dams must be built. Each of these
dams will require several hundred
men working two years to complete.
They are very likely to be erected at
for this section of the country for
several years to come.
In the spring construction work is
to begin, and if the city and her bus
mess houses, banks, ETC., do not get
the bulk of this enormous business
the News can but think it is their
own fault. Of the many gigantic
power schemes this company will de-
velop-and their size may be under
stood when it is stated that they viii
develop more power than is being
turned out at Niagara Falls-Carsor
City is in the center. In other word!
it will be the largest power concern
J in the world.
The first system to be completed
will doubtless be either what il
known as the West Walker or thu
West Carson. The first of these con
templates utilizing Pickle Meadow
as a reservoir, throwing concret
dam across the Walker at the loves
point in the valley. which is fourteen
miles this side of Bridgeport, o
about sixty miles from this city. T.
further identify the spot it might b
mentioned that the dam will be 10

BIG PROJECT OF
CALIF-NFVADA
POWER Comply

This is one of the best reservoir
sites in the west and its size may be
judged when it is stated that the
food waters of the Walker will have
to work overtime for two years to
fill it. At Girls Flat, this side, the
first power station will probably go
in, utilizing the fiat for a regulator
The second will be near the old toll
house and the third and lowest at the
mouth of the Walker canyon at the
head of antelope valley.
The West Carson system calls for
the flooding of Hope valley, which
the company owns, and a 100-foot
dam will make quite a respectable
sized lake of this valley, with 1900
feet fall in less than eight miles to
point above and near the Stewart
ranch at the mouth of the canyon
This fall will be divided into three
different drops with a power house al
each. That is, the water will be used
three times.
On one of these two work will be
gin in the spring and at the sam,
time several distributing pole lines
which by the way will be the longes
in the world, will begin
In the meantime everything tina
can be done to improve the Trucke
river system, which is now part o
the California-Nevada, is being rush
ed through as fast as large fore
of men and plenty of money ca
bring it about. Unfortunately tn
new company acquired this too lat
in the season to perfect it as the
wish to, but they are doing all tina
it is possible to do. Among othe
things machinery is being rushe
along and materials are on the roa
to- give the system 200 more kilC
4 watts capacity-or about 1865 NOR
horse power. This will mean niue
!, better service because it will provid
surplus power to be drawn on whe
one plant is out.

BIG CASH SALE OF
SECTION SIX LAND
PRESIDENT OF SILVER TIP
MAKES DEAL
san Francisco Men Pay $4,000 for
Forty Aeres-Elaborate Plans for
Entertainment of Los An
geles Excursionists

w. r. Guiberson, president of the
Silver Tip, the famous section 6 well
at Coalinga, is down from the oil camp
and says that the Los Angeles people
who GO on the Thanksgiving excursion
will have the time of their lives during
their stay there. Friday has been de-
CIared a holiday and every resident OF
Coalinga will do his part to make it
a festive occasion. The finance COM
mittee has raised the modest sum of
$4,000 for the entertainment of the Wis
itors and seventy-two automobiles
have been placed at the disposal of the
committee on transportation. The
Ladies' Improvement society will serve
at the banquet and entertain at the
ball which follows. There Will be
something doing all the time in Coal
inga," said Mr. Guiberson.
The success of the Silver Tip well
has created a demand for ground In
section and the adjoining sections II
and IS and land has greatly advanced
in value. Mr.. Guiberson and his
brother have just sold 40 acres in sec
ton at $1,000 an acre to San Francisco
people. The same land could have
been bought n few months ago for one
fourth the price paid.
The Silver Tip we'll is still flowing
through an open hole and produced
$4,000 barrels of oil in october, but
this was abnormal says Mr.. Gulber-
son The big gusher is expected TO
settle down to about 600 barrels day.
While in Los Angeles Mr.. Guiberson
filed an answer through his attorneys
Thomas and Spencer, to the suit which
was brought recently against himself.
Y. L. Phelps and one other director OF
the company on stock deal. MT
Guiberson declares that the transac-
tion was perfectly regular and that
the action was unjustified.

few days in Los Angeles. Mr.. Fink
is anxious TO get back, as the smart
which the company Is sinking and
which has been in highly mineralized
ground for 100 feet is expected at any
time to drop into good ore.
The shaft is down 575 feet, and it is
the intention to carry the bore on down
to the 7O0-foot mark, with the further
sinking of a forty-foot sump to catch
the water. From the 700-foot level the
west vein, into which the shaft is now
dropping, will be prospected and a
cross-cut driven out to the middle vein,
This lateral will also be extended out
into the east vein, which is in the
limestone and which carries high
values in the red metal on the surface.

GOLDFIELD, Nov. 15.-The title to

court soon. upon the trial of a SUIT
which has been filed by the Round

Round Mountain Red Top and Round

The Round Mountain Mining company
