ELECTRICITY BY WATER.
Sacramento Runs Curs by It-Ths Falls of
the American River, 24 Miles Away,
Itlllzcd.
Sacramento, Cal., July 16. Electric
ity generated by the falls of the Ameri
can river at Folsom. twenty-four miles
away, was turned on in this city to
day, and the street cars humming
through the streets give evidence that
lonsr-distanee electrical transmission Is
fearlble. Only the big plant at Niagara
Fall, as yst unfinished. 13 larger than
tha't of Folsom, but the transmission
to Buffalo Is shorter. The successful
demonstration here today may aid the
Niagara people In dlspo.-lnpr of some of
the obstacles which they have encoun
tered. The waters of the American river,
which have been running to waste, will
now be utilised ;for aightlng (Sacra
mento's streets, propelling fopr cars,
operating her factories and cooking the
food of her citizens. The Impetus which
the new power will give Sacramento In
dustries will undoubtedly lead other
cities which have Idle water falls handy
to follow her example.
Years have been spent upon the work
here. An immense masonry dam was
thrown across the American river, at
Folsom, creating a reservoir three miles
long, and furnishing a flow of 85,000
cubic feet per minute. The water, after
passing through four horizontal shaft
double-turbine wheels. Is used for Ir
rigation purposes, and 300,000 acres of
(and will be supplied.
The turbine wheels are 30 inches In
diameter, and under a head of 56 feet
develop 1,300 horse power each. The
rhafts of the wheels are coupled direct
to the shafts of four three-phase alter
nating current generators of the gen
eral electrlo type, each capable of de
veloping 1,000 horse power. These dy
namos weigh about 40 tons each. They
are the largest In the world, except
those being built for Niagara Falls.
The electric current la passed through
"step-up" or raising transformers,
which raise the voltage from 7,000 to 10,
000 volts, and it Is then transmitted
by overhead copper wires to this city.
Two separate lines have been built as
a precaution against accident or shut
downs for repairs. One line will al
ways be held In reserve. It Is calcu
lated that SO per cent, of the electrlo
power generated at Folsom will be
transmitted 24 miles to Sacramento.
With the enormous water power at
hand ft was not deemed necessary to
employ a larger conductor to reduce
thn waste.
Only the street cars were furnfehed
with power today, but It will be grad
ually extended to all kinds of industrial
establishments and used for light and
heat.

turn towards Chili. Both gold and sil

mind that Independence Day came In
that week; that the Reading worked
only two d'aye, and other companies also
made poor time by reason of the holi
day. Last week's statement will give a
better idea as to the restrictive policy
which Is being pursued this month. Not
withstanding the Reading operated its
collieries only two days during the
week, it shipped 2.430 tons more than
In the corresponding week last year,
whllo shipments from the Wyoming
region were 39,650 ton less; the Lehigh
region reported a decrease of 20,305 tons.
The "Financial Chronicle" makes up
a very early and very Interesting pre
liminary table of gross earnings for
the first six months of this year. It
has returns from 189 lines with 146,942
miles of road, 126 of which report for
the full six months and 63 for Ave
months. The aggregate gross earnings
of those lines were $391,618,137 this year,
as compared were $370,385,601 In 1894, an
Increase of $12,232,636, or 3.23 per' cent.
These figures Indicate that the rail
roads of the country have scarcely be
gun to benefit from the general Im
provement tn trade during the last four
months. In the first six months of 1891,
with which the comparison Is made,
the railroads lost $74,506,653, which was
Increased to $100,000,000 when the full
returns were compiled. In the first six
months of 1,895 the railroads recovered
$12,232,636, or but one-sixth of the loss
of last year.
It is quite likely according to the
Philadelphia Inquirer, that flresh cuts
in coal prices will be made this week,
as orders have been coming In slowly
and companies must have some place
to dump their product. Since present
prices have failed to bring orders per
haps lower prices will avail. At all
event it Is reported that some of the
companies that have heretofore refused
to sell at less than $2.76 In New York
harbor are now willing to make conces
sions. This action will result In a se
rious curtailment of the production by
Individual operators. Many have sus
pended mining operations completely,
and the others are working as little as
possible, for there is a dead loss of 10
to 25 cents a ton on .every ton of coal
they take out now. They cannot stand
any further reduction In prices and will
have to go out of business. ' All this
will bear hardly on the Lehigh Valley
and Jersey Central roads, which have
a large tonnage from individuals, for
their movement of freight will certain
ly 'be cut down. They will get little
business and will get little money for
what they do get. Incldently this re
port disposes of the delusion that New
York has been hugging, that the settle
ment of the anthracite fight Is under
way. As a matter of fact, not the first
stop ba been taken in this direction.
Wth the Lackawanna rood cutting
prices at all points and the Reading
steadily meeting the markot there is
no evidence whatever of any amicable
understanding, but there is every evi
dence that the war is fiercer than ever.
It sounds absurd to talk of cutting
$2.75 for stove ooal in New York, but
this has been done, and it looks as
though the price would go to $2.50
before the struggle Is over. The fight
ing si now as hot as it can be, and as
the situation cannot get much worse
the losses to the companies will depend
merely upon how long the present con
dition lasts,
