The plant Is at present operated by
steam power, the coal supply coming
from England and Spitzbergen. Steam
coal is delivered here for about 81. 80
per ton. The electrification of the
mines is in progress, and this power
will be used exclusively as soon as the
new power plant of the state of Swe-

line is completed and it is expected
that the power station will be ready
to deliver current early in 1914. One

will be the capacity of this station
and it will be transmitted at 7S,00C
volts over distance of 100 miles. The

ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Oct. S.-Miss |
Ruth Hildreth, daughter of w. f. Hill
dreth of New York, was killed and her
sister, Dorothy HiIdreth, was perhaps
fatally injured yesterday afternoon in
IIammondsport when Lincoln Beachev
lost control of a 100 horse power aero
plane and it swept a number of speeta
tors off a platform from which they
were watching the exhibition.
Ruth Hildreth fell upon an automo-
bile and nor skull was fractured. Among
those slightly hurt were Lieuts. Rich
ardson and Bellingcr of the United
States navy aviation corps, and Beach
ey.
The accident occurred near the head
of Lake Keuka, where Beachev is said
to have planned to execute a somersault
in the air. \ big crowd had gathered,
and to gain a good view Misses Hill
dreth and the navy officers climbed to
The top of a small building used as
headquarters by naval aviators.
Beachey recognized the party and
| dipped his machine in salute. They
waved. The aeroplane went to the end
of the field, turned and came back.
| When it was over the heads of the
! Ilildreth party the machine was seen to
! dip. The aeroplane came so close to
the party as to sweep all to the ground,
The aeroplane carecncd wildly and
| plunged to the earth, unseating the
aviator and wrecking the machine
II Ruth Hildreth was unconscious when
spectators reached her side and blood
was gushing from gaping wound in
her head. Her sister also was uncon-
scious, but Lieuts. Bcllinger and Rich
ardson were able to rise
Dorothy Hildrcth was removed to the
residence of ncighbor. She has a
broken arm and leg and may have in
ternal injuries. Her condition is sale
to be critical.
Lieuts. Bellinger and Richardson es
capped with cuts and bruises that are no
serious. Beachey sprained an arm an,
ankle.
Beachey said that as he reached
point directly over the naval buildin,
! he momentarily lost control of his ma
chine because his foot slipped from on
of the controls. The machine dippe,
and the trailer caught the party on tn
roof, throwing them to the ground AM
causing the machine to take a will
