termining the point at which de-
velopment work could be conduct

Three distinct, well-defined veins
have been exposed at the surface and
have been stripped for considerable
distances by trenching. The
width of vein matter has notl been
determined by this work, except

NOW RUNNING;
ACTUAL OPERATION
BEGINS WEDNESDAY

The new Light and Water Plant
was put into operation this morn
ing, the wheels of the magnificent
100000 plant beginning to turn at
1890, at which time the electric
load was thrown over from the old
plant to the new and Lakeland
thereby took another long step for
ward on the march of progress, now
having a plant second to none in
the South either in building or
equipment. With the new light and
water facilities, which include a
modern building, the highest grade
equipment and the extension of
light and water lines, Lakeland to-
day has in operation $4,000 worth
of new light and water improve
.ments in addition to what she has
had heretofore.
The new plant will be run until
Monday, when the load will be
transferred back to the old plant in
order that the engines may be test
ed. 1t is expected that the testing
operations will be completed by
Wednesday. when the load will be
transferred back to the new plant
permanently, and at which time the
work of removing the old plant to
the new building will be started
The bond trustees have not yet
turned over the plant to the city,
but will probably do so shortly after
the first of the year

CITRUS FRUIT NOW
GOING FORWARD
At RAPID RATE

Citrus fruit is moving more rapid
ly than at any time this season, both
the Exchange and the independent
packing houses being in very active
operation. The Exchange has not
shipped great many cars thus far,
it's policy being to hold it's fruit for
a top market, though it is now rush
ing out large shipments for the hol-
iday trade. The Lakeland Company,
on the other hand, has shipped con-
siderable more fruit than at this
time last year, over one hundred
cars having already gon forward
through this agency. The prices
have been very satisfactory ranging
from $1.75 to $500 per box when it
from $1.75 to $500 per box. When it
is considered that the shipping sea-
son is not very far advanced, and the
bulk of the fruit controlled by the
Exchange is yet to be shipped, it
will be recognized that very sub
stantial sum of money will be
brought to this section by this sea-
sons citrus crop.
