FROM PROJECT BORN
At 4TH JULY PICNIC
100000 Investment for Pow
er and Light Completed in
It's First Unit.

Rapid City, S. D.. July 13.-Judge
Levi MCGEE, Of the circuit court; Geo.
B. Mansfield Ind ". R. Putnam, pres
ident of the Business News club, cele-
brated the day with their families at
Big Bend on Rapid creek, IA miles
above this city. While the women pre-
pared dinner. the youngsters fished
and the men folks discussed plans Tor
locating a power plant.
Sunday night the city was supplied
as to its lighting system, with an cleo
trio current generated in the first unit
of a proposed plant, standing on the
spot where the picnic dinner was eaten
q few days more h a a year ago.
The idea of the South Dakota Power
was conceived in 1907 by L..
A. Richards and George M. Mansfield,
both Of whom owned water right on
Rapid creek. The owners OF other
rights were induced to JOIN the com
pany until it came into possession Of
al Of the rights on the creek from
Pactola to Scott's dam, a distance Of
about IL miles. Two miles Of new flumes
belonging to the Placerville Gold Min
ing was acquired and about
two years ago the Rapid City Electric
Light & Gas company was purchased.
Work on building a fve-foot pipe line
n tunnels was commenced about a.
yea g on capital furnished by local
men, who had faith in the enterprise.
When funds grew scarce and moneyedi
men who could see no profit in an in
vestment unless it be a quarter section
of land, or a branded steer, or even
an unbranded maverick, declined to-
put up cash., Judge MCGEE raised 1t
in Iowa and other eastern centers.
In all, about $500, 900 has been eXpend-
ed in %equipping the first unit of the
plant, which Is located at Big Bend.
Five miles Of f1ume tunnel and pipe
conducts an exhaustless supply Of wa
ter into the power house. which is
equipped with three of the latest
type Of francis turbines n fine gen
orators capable Of producing 2,400-
horsepower.
In addition to this, the company has
a steam plant in this city, used as an
auxiliary, which can generate 600 and
the old plant with a capacity of 800
horsepower.
The company has business enough at
present to pay its operating expenses
n interest on 100000 n leaves a
handsome surplus. Its lines extend to-
Blackhawk, where the Plaster company,
uses its power, and plans are being
formed to carry lines to Hill City and
other camps for mining urpose and
to Elk and Box Elder creeks for irri-
eating purposes. Several manufactur-
ing concerns. are preparing contracts
with a view to locating branch estab-
lishments, including a and
iron foundry in his city.
The company is capitalized at H.
0 $1,000, with none of Its stock for sale
and its president is John G. Haines,
one of the largest merchants in the

spinal cord. In the latter case there is
no hope for the boys life.

Some years ago Gutenberg started to
sink an artesian well at Chamberlain

from which the city water supply was
secured. For six months the Touring
mill was tied NJ until the injunction
was dissolved. Gutenberg then brought
suit for $4,000, which he eventually
won. Later he left the city and located
at some other point in the state.
