Electrical Development.

says.
 "The biggest industrial movement is under way in the south today repre- sentlng more new money and on broad, CT lines of development than anything else is the utilization of our hereto fore unutilized rivers and streams for the creation of hydro-electric power.
 At the present time 64 hydro electric power companies are operat- ing in the development of powers in the south, and mainly in the central sectlon-the Carolinas, Georgia, Ala bama, Kentucky and Tennessee though nearly all the south is sharing in this activity.
 "Tnese companies already have in operation about l.?0O0 00O hydro eec- tric power and are now actually con. structing about 9O0,0 additional power, which will give the south over 2,00O,OOO hydro-electric power whom these plants under construction and others, for which the capital has been raised, have been completed.
 "There are also 36 companies, own- ing about l,0OO,000 available power, now in the formative stage, and these are seeking to enlist capital for de- velopment. The magnitude of these developments can be the better appre- ciated when it is understood that the total steam power used in all the manufacturing enterprises ln the south in 1910 aggregated about 3,300,00O horsepower.
 "The aggregate investment in the developed water power, and in those upon which work is now progressing, will represent an ultimate outlay of about 3O0,0O0,000S, winch Is equal to nearly one-third of the aggregate na- tional banking capital of the United States.
 "Nowhere else in the world is the development of water power for the transmission of electric power being carried on on such a gigantic scale and involving such far.reaching con. sequences as in the south.
 Many of the foremost capitalists of England, Canada and of the north and west are really running rivalry in se- curing water powers, not only for i'm mediate development, but looking to continued constructive operations as the demand for power takes up the supply of the existing plants"
 The Dixie Power company is pre-. pairing for the construction of a hydro. electric plant just as soon as congress grants the necessary rights, the state rights having been obtained.
 This water power development will be located on the White river in Bax- ter county, near Cotter, Ark, where l5,OOO horse. power can be generated. This power will be available for the industries of central and north western Arkansas. It is estimated that the cost of constructing the entire plant ready for distributing electricity will be 2,0OO,OOu$.
 It is authoratively announced that the project of erecting great hydro electric plant and construction of an extensive system of power transmits sion lines to cover parts of Arizona and New Mexico has been financed
 The company will have a capital stock of l5,O00,000S. It is understood that the hydro electric plant will be located at some central point, prob- ably on the Gila river. It is planned to provide power for operating irriga- ton pumping plants in the San Pedro, Sulphur Springs, San Simon and other valleys.
 It is estimated that in Arizona alone this cheap electric power will bring about the reclamation of more than l,OOO,OO0 acres of land. Several val ley, in Arizona which are susceptible of irrigation will also be embraced in the power transmission system. Pow CT will also be furnished for operating the machinery of the mines and ore reGuction mills in the Bisbee, Tom b. stone and other mining camps in Arl- zona.
