which has an available force of 5000

which was organized by the late w. n.
Camp Of Ocala, derives its power from
an immense dam on the Withlacoochee
river a few miles below Dunnellon. At
that point they have harnessed the
river and constructed plant that de-
velops enormous power which is be-
ing distributed over a vast territory
on large cables. According to the
terms of the contract signed Thursday
by Mr.. Fuller and the Florida Power
Company. the cables, which have al
ready been strung to Istachatta, will
be extended to the Bradley mines at
Groom, and from thence ten miles west
to this place, which will be the south
ern terminus of the system. Since the
