TO SOLVE
ITS POWER QUESTION

The officials OF the Victoria Consoli-
dated company have been comforting In
this city for two or three days past re-
garding the new equipment which is to
be installed as quickly as possible. the
present machinery being inadequate for
tho amount Of deep development which
the company Is now doing and which has
been mapped out for the future
The officials have been studying the
merits of steam and electricity, and
there is no question but what electricity
will be selected. The Tintic camp is
splendIdly provided with electrical
power. having both the knight and Tel
lu1ide systems to draw on, while the cx-
pansion In electric power facilities of
Utah, as fully explained in these col
umns last Sunday in the interview with
D. c, Jaokling, is powerful argument
for the installation OF electrical equip
ment rather than steam.

Control Of the River.

The control Of the Colorado for the pre-
vention of further outbreaks such as its
recent diversion into the Salton sea must
involve thorough knowledge Of the trib-
utary flow. even in the high regions of
Its headwaters, IN Colorado. and the ulti-
mate steps taken to prevent disastrous
inundation will In all probability involve
the control OF these upland tributaries.

Feeders of Stream.

Through this plateau the Colorado and
its tributaries have cut narrow gorges OF
canyons In which they flow at almost
Inaccessible depths AT points where lat
eral streams enter the canyons are
broken by narrow traverse valleys. The
whole upper basin of the Colorado is
travcrscd by a labyrinth OF these canyons,
many of which are dry during the creator
portion of the year and carry water only
during the melting of the snow and the
brief periods Of the autumnal and spring
rains.
In the lower portion the river strongly
resembles the Nile. having annual floods
which distribute silt over the adjoining
lands and render them as fertlle as those
In the historic valley Of North Africa.
The Colorado and it's tributaries are not
only of value for irrigat tion. but. descend

The basin drained by the Colorado and

The Colorado hasin comprises two dig
