TIGRE To HAVE
NEW POWER PLANT
President Sooy to Examine
Sites in Mexico for
Water Power.

F. c. Sooy, of Kansas City, president
of the Lucky REORGANIZATION Cold
Mining company, accompanied by Orson
Brown, has gone to examine a proposed
damsite on the Bauispe river. near Co.
Ionia Morales, in northern Sonora NJ.
Soov said that the directors of thar
company have decided to add to tae
present milling capacity of the plant so
as to be able to treat $50 tons of ore
"a day. the present capacity being on,y
100 tons. In addition to this enlaroci
capacity, a cyanide plant will be IN
stalled and with the new equipment
the products and profits will be dou-
Dled.
c'he dalnsite is said 20 be an ideal
location for putting in a water power
plant for the generation of electricity
which can be transmitted to FL TiSre
mine and used to operate all the ma
chinery. One proposition iss 10 put a
pcwer plant in Douglas. AMI another is
to put.it at Ysabel, the nearest railway
station.
The question of power is growing
more pressing in the Tigre camp every
dav" said Mr. Sooy. Heretofore the
mower has been steam and the fuel the
native growth of timber in the vi
cinity which was cut and packed to the
mine by Mexican contractors. This is
growing more expensive as the dis
lance TO available wood increases. with
a power plant at Ysabel or Douglas oil
could be used as fuel which would be
a great saving.
