RENO, Nevada, April 30.—Governor Sparks owns the controlling interest in a company that is making preparations to construct an independent water- power system from the mouth of Hunter Creek, five miles north of Reno. Engineers are upon the ground completing the final survey of the line, and work at the mouth of the creek will begin next week. It is expected that the system will be completed before winter sets in and ‘that Reno will be supplied with pure water by next spring at least. Huntington and other California capitalists are said to be interested in the company that owns the present system in Reno. There is a flow, at the lowest ebb, of 5,000,000 gallons per day, sufficient to supply a city much larger than Reno. Governor Sparks intends to invest $2,000,000 in the new enterprise. —_————— OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIO COAST Two Postmasters Are Commissioned and Rallway Mail Clerks Are Appointed.
