TROLLEYS FOB LOS ANGELES. Bier Projects at Nevada City, Folsom and Fresno Getting Ready for Opera tlon. The business boom in the electrical world continues and new schemes for power transmission and other electrical enter prises are being formed, while hustling promoters of other schemes a little older are figuring on the cost of planta and try ing to raise capital. One of the newest projects in ttiis line is a big one that interests Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Railway Company owns forty seven miles of street railway there, and practically all in the southern metropolis. Considerable of the mileage is electric, much is cable and the rest is operated by horse power. After years of competition, litigation and hard times the syndicate now proposes to organize its system. This means more and better trolley lines for Los Angeleg. The project of operating by electric power the big group of mines about Ne vada City and Grass Valley has just passed the stage of planning. The Nevada County Electric Power Company has closed a con tract with the Stanley "Electric Company of Massachusetts for two 400 horsepower generators, and the other features of the electrical plant, including several miles of pole line. The company is now at work on the flume which will "bring water from tbe South Yuba over three miles to the point near the Excelsior dam, where the generating plant will be located, four miles from Grass Valley and eight miles from Nevada City, The initial plant of 800 horsepower, which will be in operation in three months, will early be enlarged. The flume and pipe line is being built on a basis of 2500 horsepower. The company proposes to light Grass Valley and Isevada City, and a franchise for an electric road for passen gers and freight between Grass Valley and Nevada City has been asked for from the Supervisors. This will be the first "two phase alternating system established in the State. This experiment is an illustration and a promise of what electricity will soon do in aiding the development and economical operation of California mines. The Standard Company, which estab lished at its Bodie mines the first long distance power-transmission plant on the Pacific Coast, has just greatly enlarged its plant. The company has now installed in its mines a plant of 100 horsepower, 3000 feet from its mill, for the electrical opera tion of its pumps, hoisting machinery, etc. The project for bringing electric power from the Sierras, thirty-five miles, to Fresno is Etill in the preparatory stage, but during the week it" has advanced in one direction to the extent of making a provisional contract with the General Electric Company, and the promise that the notable project will soon be carried through is bright. The coming week will see in operation the first 1000-horsepower generator of the Sacramento Light and Power Company, whose great generating plant at Folsom has been so long talked about. Three other generators, each of horsepower, will be established as quickly as possible. The largest electrical plant in the State will thus be in operation before July 1. W. F. C. Hasson of Hasson & Hunt, con sulting electrical engineers, has been elect ed vice-president of the American Insti tute of Electrical Engineers. Mr. Hasson was the superintendent of the electrical department "of the Midwinter Fair. CADETS IN CAMP. Company A of the X>eague of the Cross Cadets to Go to Niles Canyon. The first encampment of the League of the Cross Cadets will be held on July b'. Company A, under command of Captain Frank S. Drady, will leave for Niles Can yon, where a picturesque spot has been se cured. Here the boys will spend eight days and strict military discipline will be maintained. In compliment to Rev. Father Yorke, the camp win be named in his honor, Camp Yorke. Military instruction will be im parted by Colonel Sullivan. In addition Father Yorke and Colonel W. C. Mahoney have consented to be present for several days. It is expected that about sixty members of the company will be present. The members of the company will defray all the expenses. Captain Drady has arranged a pro gramme as follows: b' a. m., reveille; 6:30, squad drill; 7, breakfast; 8, company drill; 9, inspection; 12 m., lunch; 4:30 p.m., dress parade; 5, guard mount; 6, supper; 7, retreat; 9:30, tattoo; 10, taps. As two Sundays will be spent in camp, arrangements have been made to have military masses on the Sundays the 7th and 14th. On Saturday the 13th a field day has been arranged for and a long list of events has been prepared for the occasion. Invitations have already been issued for the Held day. In order that the health of the young soldiers may be amply protected, Dr." A. P. Mulligan, captain and* surgeon, and Dr. J..P. McCarthy, will remain at the camp during the week. Camp will be struck on Sunday afternoon of the 14th of July. No Swedish Schism. A. Wistrnnd, president of the Swedish-Ameri can National Union, says that his organization was not an offshoot of the Swedish Patriotic League. They were never members of that body, and they wish it so understood. This dissipates the rumor ot schism in this par ticular branch of the Swedish community. SHORT TALKS!
