Electricity Enough to Run the Machinery of the Entire World. THE INITIAL TRIAL A SUCCESS. It Exceeds the Most Sanguine An- ticipations of Those Whao Are Interested. SACRAMENTO, CaL., July 11.—Sacra- mento to-day is the cynosure of the eyes of the entire scientific world, which awaits with keenest interest the result of the pio- neer movement in long-distance transmis- | sion of electric power. Should the result be as favorable as anticipated it will mark ihe beginning of an epoch that will event- ually cause the Pacific Slope, especially California, to become the hub of manufac- turing for the entire world. To many this may seem a rash assertion. But the scientists are fully cognizant of the fact that no other locality in the known | world possesses a great basin or valley 600 or 700 miles in length, surrounded by mountains capped with eternai snows that yea fter year, century after century, will furnish a never-failing supply of free | hydraulic power, possessing sufficient | strength to move the requisite machinery of a dozen worlds. Should the long distance transmission of | power prove successful in this locality, it | will result in the immediate formation of | hundreds of projected piants throughout | the entire length of the State. So positive are those interested in the establishment | | tensive of cheap motive power that the result will e satisiactory that an agreement has elready been perfected between the General Electric Plant Company and interested | parties looking to the location of a similar | plant, although on a smaller. scple, at | Fresno. | The Sacramento electric plant is the | largest plant in the world at the present | time, consisting as it does of machinery | capable of g 4000 horsepower, with facil by which this amount can | be doubled or even quadrupled should it | rove requisite. | Mr. Lighthart, engineer of the General | Electric Company, says the plant at| Niagara Falls, the only other one of any magnitude in the United States, develops | but 500 horsepower transmitted seven miles. | v afternoon .the turbine wheels | and huge dynamos at Folsom were given their initial trial and more than exceeded the highest anticipations of the projectors | of the enterprise. As the small volume of water was first admitted to the enormous 8-foot pipes that | convey it from the canal to the turbines, | situated thirty-five feet below the bed of the latter, every movable portion of the | machinery began a slow, noiseless revolu- tion, so noiseless that persons standing at a distance of fifteen feet failed to notice | the movement until they saw and faster spun the huge machinery as the | volume of water pressure s increased | until a speed of 300 revolutions was at- | tained, and yet the machinery moved with | the same noiseless precision—no click, no | jar, only the slight whistling of the wind caused by its passage through the arma- ture. i The experiment, as far as the plant at | Folsom is concerned, is a complete suc- cess. | In the minds of many there exists a false | impression as to the method followed in | transmitting power from the gencmliug] plaut at Folsom to this city. The majority “ believe that the power, after being gener- ated, is transmitted directly from that point to the consumers in this city. This is by no means the cas Electricity pos- | sesses two attributes, namely, volume and pressure, and as it passes from the dyna- mos in the Folsom power-house, it is con- | ducted on wire through machines known as “transformers,” going in at the low pres- sure of 800 volts. It is reduced in volume and transformed to a high pressure of 1100 volts, and passing over the copper wires leading to the power-house in Sacramento | in this form it enters a similar set of trans- | formers, which change the current to its | original state. Three wires conduct it to | the receiving switchboard, where the cur- rent is controlied, divided and led to the various huge motors of the receiving power-house. These motors are directly connected with long lines of shafting, upon which at intervals are huge pulleys, from | which run belts connected with numerous dvnamos that generate the electric fluid that will furnish power sufficient to move the wheels of every manufacturing indus- try in the city, or of any manufactory that may desire to locate in this place. This latter power is again controlled by a distributing switchboard, presided over by one attendant, who will be in absolute control of all power generated and can distribute it to any desired point by the simple movement of a lever. Every possible precaution has been taken to preventany stoppage of the pant after it is once perfected. Every motor and every pulley is provided with a friction clutch that will enable any portion of the entire plant to be disconnected without stoppage should a break occur in any por- tion of the immense plant. The clutch is thrown out of gear without disturbing any other portion of the plant. At 6 o’clock to-night orders were for- warded to the power-house at Folsom to turn the electric-power on to the wires running to Sacramento. This was done, but owing to the crossing of two of the wires a short circuit ensued. The line- men were started out and rectified the difficulty, and as soon as the water is turned into the canal the experiment will be tried again. The company have all the streetcars manned and will make a circuit over all the street lines should everything work successfully, and it is the intention of the citizens to fire 100 guns to celebrate the advent of the greatest source of motive- power in the world. 0il Exchange at Los Angeles. LOS ANGELES, CawL., July 11.—About 100 oil-producers met yesterday and organ- jzed the Oil Exchange, the only one on the coast. R. H. Herron presided. A consti- tution and by-laws were adopted, and the election of officers set for next Wednesday. The objects of the organization are the furthering of the interests of the oil indus- try and to consolidate it so as to handle Faster | ; the product in large quantities and armnge for favorable transportation rates. The constitution will receive a large number of § signatures, as the oil men are all enthu- siastic over the organization and believe it will solve many difficult problems that now confront the industry in this county. e 4 SANTA ROSA WILL. Judge Pressley Leaves His Entire Estate to His Widow. SANTA ROSA, CAL., July 11.—The will of the late Judge Pressley was filed in the County Clerk’s office here to-day. - It dis- poses of about $20,000 worth of property situated in Fresno, Sonoma and San Fran- cisco counties. Mrs. Pressley is named as executrix without bonds, and under the terms of the will the property goes to her absolutely. She is empowered under it to sell any part of the estate without an order of the court. The will states that the tes- tator has not forgotten any of his children, and leaves them nothing because the estate is so small that to ve divided into so many shares would be of very little value to any of them. Those needing a parent’s care and arsistance are com- mended to the care of the mother. R THE HOP FIELDS. Prospects of the Crop Being Below the ‘Usual Quantity. HEALDSBURG, Car., July 11.—Super- visor Hall, who has returyed from an in- spection of the hopyards of Sonoma County, reports the blossoms as growing well, although they are behind former years. The stand is irregular and un- even. The growth of the vines is weak, and it does not seem to bea hop year. Cut worms have done some damage. SORCHA WIE INTERESTS They Have Never Been So Bright as at the Present Time. Extensive Improvements in Prog- ress in a Number of Winerles and Cellars. HEALDSBURG, Car., July 11L.—It has been many years since the vinegard in- terests of Sonoma County presented as bright a front as at the present time. From the head of the Russian River Valley, three miles north of Cloverdale, to the Windsor country, lies one of the most ex- grape-growing districts in the State, and an activity prevails in the vine- yards and wineries that is most encourag- ing. Wine has been running out of the district for the past three months at the rate of from five to fifteen carloads per day, and nearly all the cellars are empty. W. D. Sink of Cloverdale is erecting a stone cellar of 50,000 gallons capacity, and will crush 500 tons of grapes this season. This cellar will open a market for the grapes produced in that valley. All the cellars of the Cloverdale district are in shape for the season’s run, and no trouble will be experienced in handling the crop, which is an average one. In the Geyserville district Walden’s dis- tillery will use from 3000 to 5000 tons of grapes in_ the manufacture of brandy and sherry wine. The other cellars will be operated largely. ive thousand {onsof grapes will be pro- duced in Alexander Valley, and these will be crushed at the Chase cellar and H Bros. A new winery with a capaci 2 tons is being built on the Osborn , and will greatly aid the. vineyard- in that section in disposing of their crops. In the Healdsburg district P. & G. Simi are erecting another large stone’ winery and distillery, capable of handling 500 tons of grapes. Several small wineries which were not operated last season will make wine this fall. activity prevails in the The California Wine- n has leased the Hunt- opkins cellar, and is_increasing the capacity from eighty to 200 tons per day. A large addition has been built to the cellar and 300,000 gallons of new coop- erage purchased. G. A. B. Gunn is_putting an addition to his cellar which will increase its capacity 50,000 gallons, while Hotchkiss & Miller’s winery is to be increased 150,000 gallons. The vineyards are in excelient shape, and while the yield of Zinfandels will be light all the other varieties are a good crop. No prices have yet been fixed. Two Notable Weddings. HEALDSBURG, CaL., July 11.—Two notable weddings were solemnized here to- At high noon Miss Mary Branan, a successful teacher and society leader, was united in marriage to Henry Benson, a prominent Marin County instructor, at the residence of the bride’s parents. In the evening at the Methodist Episco- pal church Rey. W. A. Johns pronvunced | the words which made Edna Wilcox the wife of Charles Bond, both popular young folks of this city. = Bitten by a Ferocious Cat. HEALDSBURG, Cavn, July 1L—P. J. Ferguson, a prominent resident of this place, was attacked by a pet cat this morn- ing and severely bitten about the hands and arms. The feline, a large one, caught Mr. Ferguson by the leit hand, and had to be killed before it would let loose. BODEGHS BIG CREAMERY, It Has a Capacity for Utilizing 20,000 Pounds of Milk Daily. In Charge of One of the Most Expert Bufter-Makers in the Country. SANTA ROSA, CaL., July i1.—A cream- ery with a capacity of using 20,000 pounds of milk per diem has recently been estab- lished at Bodega. The main building is 45x30 feet and is built substantially on concrete foundations and with concrete floors. The machinery is all of the latest pattern, the power being generated by a 25-horsepower boiler and a 12-horsepower engine. On the arrival of the milk at the creamery it is first tested and weighed in a can whose capacity is 900 pounds, or 115 gallons. It then passes inm?wo receiving vats. each containing 600 galions. From these the milk runs into a tempering vat where it remains for a short time at 79 de- rrees. It then passes into the Russian separators, which perform 8000 revolutions a minute. The cream, passing over a cooler, runs into vats where it remains twenty-four hours to ripen. The cream is churned ina 300-galion churn, and, after being converted into butter, is molded into cubes and packed for shipment. The foreman, J. A. Howie, is an expert at cheese and butter making and was the recipient of a gold medal at the Columbian Exposition for his dairy produce. A inrg{: namber of dairymen in the neighborhood are finding it more lucrative to sell the milk to the creamery then to make their own butter, since creamery butter brings higher vprices than dairy butter. For milk testing 4 per cent butter iat the creamery pays 50 cents per 100 pounds and varying prices for milk above or below that standard. J. D. Williams, president of the Bodega creamery, has an excellent ranch of 450 acres. He has eighty-five Jersey cows, and their milk tests 5.12 per cent, which is the highest in the neighborhood. Mr. Williams attributes this to the fact that his cattle have been properly fed and shel- tered during the winter months, as this is necessary to insure good milk and a large quantity. LA PORTE'S NEW LIFE Widespread Activity in a Once Deserted Locality. GOLD THE ATTRACTION. Many of the Abandoned Mines Now to Be Properly Developed. CAPITAL EAGER TO INVEST, Half a Dozen Companies Have Already Put in Extensive Mining Piants. LA PORTE, Car, July 11.—Men with money to invest in mines, and men with brawn and muscle to sell in wresting from nature her hidden treasures in metal, are looking anxiously forward to a promised renewal of activity in mining throughout this section of Plumas County during the next few months. | set their slui Half a dozen mining companies have secretary and {reasurer, and A. U. Rugg, superintendent and general manager. The scene of operation of this concern will be on the Feather River, only a short distance from town, and just below the plant of the Middle Feather River Com- pany. A good deal of money has been ex: pended in the construction of roads, trails, dams, etc. The property has been thor- oughly prospected and the machinery is already on the ground, set up and ready for operation. In the same district the Slate Creek Gravel Company and the Feather Fork Gold Gravel Company, known better as the Thistle shaft, the stock of which is owned principally in Paris and London, have recently commenced work with several hundred men. At Grass Flat, four miles from the town, the Pioneer Gold Drift Company is work- ing about a hundred men, and in the same section the North America is at work with half that number. The Taber gravel mine has opened with a small force, about forty men, which number will be increased within a week. Down on the middle fork of the Feather River several other com- panies are preparing to put in machinery, and no less than half a dozen proposed combines are now in process of organiza- tion in San Francisco. There is now an eagerness to get into this section on the part of capital to an ex- tent entirely unknown since the early min- ing days in California. It is little wonder that La Porte has been so long overlooked. The town is hidden away among towering mountain peaks in the southeastern part of Plumas County and close to the Sierra County line. Its sole communication with the outside world is a stage line. It has ON' EASTERN TRACKS, Winners of Turf Events at the Leading Meetings. FAVORITES ARE BEATEN. Long Shots Play Havoc With the Talent at Kansas City. PEREINS WINS THREE MOUNTS. Wekota, the Favorite, Easlly Takes the Merchants’ Handlcap at Milwaukee. KANSASCITY, Mo., July 11.—Only one favorite got home in front to-day, and that was Roy in the first race. The fourth race, a handicap, furnished the best bet- ting race of the meeting, as every horse in it had a chance, and all of the field was heavily played. Euna was a slight favor- ite, but had to be content with second place. Zubler rode a very poor race on VIEW OF MAIN STREET, LA PORTE, IN 1868. [Reproduced from an old engraving.] recently put in extensive plants and are now making preparations for their imme- diate operation. It is not exactly a boom, as this expressive word is generally used and understood, but rather a gradual growth, covering a period of several years and the result of careful investigation. It was bound to come—so say the old miners in fond anticipation of living over agaln the scenes and events of the dead days of a golden past. Oi course, it will not be just the same. They can no longer e-boxes in the very streets of the town and clean up at dusk $100 to a man. This sort of mining in Cali- fornia is’a thing of the past, but' La Porte remembers the old days with a great deal of veneration, and will bail with de- light anything that bids fair to open up a hali-developed section known to be rich in free gold deposits. Some idea of the importance of this place as a mining center may be gathered from the fact that the territory included within a radius of twenty miles has pro- duced and shipped $155,0C0,000 worth of gold bullion since 1850. The greater part of this was taken out prior to 1870 and con- stituted the cream of oneof the richest sections of the State. In those days the cream of a deposit was all that men bothered their heads about, and when many fortunes had been gath- ered here the operators folded their tents and stole away to pastures new, where the vellow treasure could be had in greater quantity and with less exertion. Then it was that La Porte went to sleep. The town went rapidly down to almost nothing. Only a few of the old-timers re- mained to watch the deep ravines and shallow river beds, that they knew were rich enough to yield a hundred fortunes more when modern methods should be introduced. In those days the place was known as Rabbit Creek, and for years these sturdy men, who had seen the camp grow from a collection of cabins to a flourishing town, and then go back to nothing, watched under the snow-capped summits of Pilot Peak and Bald Mountain and for the dawn of a new time. They knew it would come as well as they knew that the day of the old rocker had gone. La Porte, so named for a gentleman from Indiana who came and mined and went away, touched by the magic wand of capital has awakened from the lethargy of her long repose, stretched herself comfort- ably and is now prepared for work. Several years ago A. W. Rugg, the well- known mining engineer of Oakland, who has had extensive experience all over the Paeific Coast, happened to drop in here to report on a piece of mipning property. A careful inspection of the surrounding country convinced him of its great possi- bilities and he set about the organization of schemes for its development. 1t was slow work. Capital was shy of a section whose isolation was nearly complete, whose transportation facilities were limit- ed and whose prospects were generally supposed to have been pretty well ex- hausted in the rush of the old time. Men whose knowledge of mining property in California is usually set down as extensive and accurate shook their heads when the possibilities of investment were pointed out and answered laconically: *“It’s of no use; that country has been worked out.”” But Mr. Rugg would not give up, and about a year ago he succeeded in organiz- ing the Middle Feather River Gold Mining Company. The company is now prepar- ing to put up an extensive plant on the Feather River at the base of Pilot Peak, where a number of rich bars are to be worked out. *The machinery has already been ordered, and operations will com- mence at once with a large force of men. From the time of the organization of this company, aates the first of half a dozen other projects, all of which seem to be in a fair way for successful consum- mation. A short time since the Gold Bar Consoli- dated Mining Company was organized with a large capital for operation here. This company has headquarters in San Francisco, with J. N. Patterson president; J. H. Paye, vice-president; E. C, Godirey, neither telegraph nor telephone service, and there are a dozen men in the town, some of them gray with age, who have never seen a railroad train, a telegraph line or a steamboat. The stage line connects with Oroville and Marysville, having a junction at ‘Woodville. It was one of the tirst lines in California to ran regalar coaches, and has arecord of some forty robberies. - It was on this line that Black Bart played his hazardous calling and performed unique feats in outlawry that made his name known all over the world, and especially feared on the Pacific Coast. For many years the line was owned and operated by Frank Morse, a pioneer of cool head and iron nerve, who always gave as good service as the times demanded. ‘When he died his son Frank took his father’s place as proprietor, and occupied the seat of the old veteran for whom the menance of bandits and the moving dan- ger of mountain flood and hurricane had no terror. For a time Morse Jr. ran the road suc- cessfully, but quite recently sold out to Messrs. Berg and Burrough. The former is a stage-driver and mining man, and well known throughout this part of the State. The new management will at once set about improving the service, to meet the increased demand for facilities neces- sitated by the new life which has been in- fused into the arteries of at least one of the terminal points. The passenger department of the South- ern Pacific Company has now under ad- visement a plan whereby through tickets will beissued overits lines to La Porte, via the Berg-Burroughs stage ling, and it is also proposed to arrange for several ex- cursions in the near future. For the tourist or sportsman La Porte is an ideal spot. The streams are full of trout, the surrounding mountains abound in all kinds of game and the climate is perfect. Deer are also plentiful in the neighborhood. The business man who is obliged to enjoy his vacation somewhere atone end of a telegraph line would not enjoy La Porte. But to a man who wants complete isolation from the workaday world, grand scenery, a perfect climate, in sight of perpetual snow, hunting and fishing, La Porte will prove most accept- able. CHARGED WITH BRIBERY. Sever al Complications Arisein a Chinese Murder Case at Los Angeles. L0S ANGELES, Car., July 11.— The Wong Chuey murder case was again to the front yesterday. The principal white witnesses, two young men, Alex Burness and Reddick, on whose evidence Chuey was mainly conyicted, are now on trial for bribery, with chances for further prosecu- tion for perjury. The lawyers defending Chuey placed little confidence in the testimony of Bur- ness and Reddick, and engaged the services of a young deteétive named Coyne to ferret out the case. Coyne testified that they had admitted to him that they had not seen the shooting. but had | been paid for their testimony by Ah Him. Burness wrote a letter to Attorney Gage, Wong Chuey’s attorney, endeavoring to extract money from him by‘nfieriuP to leave town for a consideration until the trial was ever. The fpmsecmiou rested their case, and the defense placed Judge McComas and Horace H. Appel on the stand, whose testi- mony was to the effect that ‘Burness had spoken to them of a man desiring to bribe him to leave towa and remain away till after the trial. The wi tnessesstrongly ad- vised him not to touch a dollar of the money, but to locate the man if possible and report. Burness and Reddick were held for trial on the charge of felony, while Coyne, an- other young man closely identified with them, was held over, pending investiga- tion into his part in the transaction. Dur- ing the trial the courtroom was crowded. e e Nevada Red Men Elect Officers. CARSON, Ngv., July 1L.—The annual council of the Independent Order of Red Men met here to-day and elected officers.

PETALUMA’S BICYCLE MEET. 4 New Coast Record Made by J. E. Ed- wards of San Francisco. PETALUMA, CaL., July 11.—The Peta- luma Bicycle Club had a very successful meet this afternoon at their new track. An immense crowd of people were in attend- ance and the day was a perfect one for racing. Crack riders were present from San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland and Santa Rosa. A new coast record was established by J. E. Edwards of the Olympic Club of San Francisco for a half mile. The best pre- vious record was 1:10 and Edwards suc- ceeded in going the distance in 1:09 3-5. He was admirably paced by C. M. Smith of the Garden City Cyclers and C. D. Bates of Oakland. The visiting wheelmen were greatly pleased with the treatment received and pronounced the Petaluma bicycte track one of the very best and fastest in the State. The first race, half mile, class A, was divided into two heats. Whitman of the Olympic Club won the first heat, C. M. Smith of San Jose second, Haynes of Petaluma third. Time, 1:14.

Hazzard escaped from the courtroom and, boarding a train, came to Phonix. Here he was to-day arrested on a bench warrant, buton habeas corpus proceedings before the Superior Court was released. —_———— Militia Election. SACRAMENTO, Car., July 11.—At an election held to-night for captain and first lieutenant of Company E, Second Infantry, Third Brigade, N. G. C., First Lieutenant J. D. Shoemaker was elected captain, and Sergeant H. M. Fields first lieutenant. Major A. M. Seymour presided at the elec- tion. Tke vacancy in the captaincy of the company was caused by the promotion of Captain H. 1. Seymour to the lieutenant- coloneley of the Second Brigade Regiment. NATIONAL GUARD BANDS. A Suit Pending Over Fourth of July ‘Payments. The National Guard bands have never been in the habit of giving their services gratis to the State. In fact, as the men are members of the Musicians’ Unfon that organization would never countenance such a proceeding for a moment. Nevertheless there has been friction over Fourth of July proceedings. A year ago, during the strike, the bands turned out %or arade. They were not employed, and a suit is still pending to decide whether or not they can claim payments for services which they were ready and willing to give and which they had been previously com- manded to give. Payment for their ser- vices last Fourth of July has been promised them and most of the men believe that the money will be forthcoming. .
