GENERATING UNIT AT oURAY
TOTALLY DESTROYED BY FIRE

Fire of unknown origin totally des-
troyed the loctl electric generating
unit of the Western Colorado Power
company between and Z O'Clock last
Friday morning. The transformer
house very fortunately escaped any
damage, as did also the residence of
Plant Superintendent Clay. The loss
is estimated at between $4,000 and
1000, with s6.500 insurance in force.
While the exact cause of the fire
is unknown, Manager Hauser is of
opinion it may have been started by
the blowing out or a switch. The
plant was operated until 1870 Fri
day night, while the heavy load was
on, and was then closed down. The
first intimation of trouble came to
Plant Superintendent Clay when the
buzzer at his residence indicated that
the current had been short circuited:
He Immediately went to the current
generating plant and found tire whole
south end of that building in flames.
An alarm was turned in and the city
fire department responded as prompt
ly as possible. but by the time of its
arrival the whoel electric generating
building was beyond hope of saving.
The building and contents are probob-
ly a total loss. Good work by the
fire department saved the adjoining
buildings.
While there is no one here author
lied to speak for the company on the
subject of reconstruction of the de
stroyed unit. considerable doubt is
expressed on the streets as to wheth-
er it will be rebuilt. A general i'm
preston appears to prevail that once
we get hooked up with Telluride,
the company may decide not to build

''In the Chariot was the Queen OF
