ELECTRICITY ON
MOTHER LODE
A Monster Power Plant
Opened in Amador
County.
Cheaper Light and Power for
Many Mines and
Towns.
Prospective Transportation and
Other Possibilities— Stockton
to Be Benefited.
BLUE LAKES CITY. Cal., Aur. 25. -
This nucleus of a town has to-day be
come a reality, because of the official
opening here this afternoon of the Blue
Lakes Water Company's power plant,
that is intended to furnish electric power
and light to all the mines and towns
along the mother lode, and eventually to
supply the city of Stockton.
It is one of the largest electrical generat
ing stations in the West, and one of the
best plants installed up to the present
time anywhere. It is situated near Jack
son. Amador County, on and about mid
way of the length of the main gold- bearing
belt of Caliroraia.
The motive power is a powerful head of
water brought from the Blue Lakes, io
*rated at the summit of the Sierras, half
way between Lase Tahoe and the Yo
semite Valley, and nearly two miles above
San Francisco Bay. The company owns
about 8000 acres of land surrounding the
group of lakes and controls several hun
dred square miles of watershed.
The Blue Lakes empty into the Mokei
umne River, which is tapped at West
Point by a canal that runs down through
Amador County, supplying water for do
mestic use to nearly ali the towns in the
county and water power tor the batteries
and mines. The distributing system in
cludes 115 miles of ditches and flumes.
To uilize more of this great water power
this electric plant has been installed. In
it already are machines to generate 1800
horse- power; but the ditch, pipe line
from it to the plant, and the buildings
were constructed for 65C0 horse-power. So
all that is necessary as the power is
needed is to install more machinery. If
it should ever be needed, 50,000 horse
power, naif mat required by the whole
Staie. could be generated, as there is
sufficient water.
From the lakes to the bead of tha ditch
at the river is thirty-two miles, and from
the river to the power plant here is fifteen
miles.
An advantage possessed by this water
system is its immensa natural storage res
ervoirs that can be tapped during sum
mer, wr.en most California streams run
dry. There is a telephone line from here
to the lakes and a man in charge
there of the floodgates, which, as more
water i* needed, may be opened and the
required flow maintained in the river. It
takes the water three days to flow the
forty-fiye miles from the lakes.
The opening exercises were informal
and were participated in by the following
persons, who are enjoying a banquet this
evening:
.. . Prince Poniatowski; W. Frank Fierce,
l-rresident of the Blue Lakes Water Com
pany and of the Stccktou Water Com
pany; Mr. Parker, general manager of the
works; Hail McAllister, the company's
attorney; Mr. Freshman, secretary of the
Sierra Railroad Company, and Mr. Bul
lock, its manager, and Mr. Doble, secre
tary of the Blue Lakes Water Company.
This evening the distributing lines fur
nished electric light for the first time in
.the history of those towns to Mokelumne
Hill and San Andreas, in Calaveras
County. But the company's water power
alone has for several years furnisned elec
tric Lgnts to towns in Amador County,
and it has been taken by several of the
mines.
Tne change to electric lights for the
mines will avoid such fires as have proven
so destructive in the Uttca mine.
The building here, in which there are
already running three machines, each of
600 horsepower, Stanley make, is of steel,
lined with asbestos, which makes it warm
and proof against dampness. The floors
are of cement.
A two-foot pipe brings water to the
plant with a fall of 1043 feet, generating a
pressure of 560 pounds to the square inch.
The force of the stream playing from the
nozzle against the power wheel is so
great that a sledgehammer rebounds from
the compressed steam as though it were
solid metal.
The electric power from this plant can
be furnished to mines for about halt what
they pay for steam or water power.
In addition to supplying light and
power to this whole mining region the
plant will also be used later to operate
transportation lines either along the
length of the mother lode, and connect
ing with the terminals of the Southern
Pacific and the Valley Railroad, or for the
mother lode to Stockton, twenty-nine
miles from here.
A transmission iine is being extended
through Calaveras County to Angels
tamp.
her propositions and possibilities are
Ji 2 bis for Stockton and power to run all
her street railways, flour mills and other
factories.

- SAN JOSE, Cal.. Aug. 25.— case of
James Dorcan, the saloon-keeper who at
tempted suicide on July 30, is puzzling
the medical fraternity. Dorgan placed a
revolv<=r in his mouth and fired, the bullet

VINELLI'S VICTIM
WILL RECOVER
Miss Poirier's Life Will
Be Spared, Say Her
Physicians.
The Man Who Shot Her Is
Dying in His Cell in
Colusa's Prison. .
Sheriff Jones Places Extra Men on
Guard to Prevent Attempts
at Lynching.
COLUSA, Cal., Aug. 25.— Florine
Foirier, the young lady who was shot yes
terday afternoon by Pedro Vinelli, a
Mexican, is renting easily and the doctors
■-ay there is a good chance of her recovery.
She was removed last night from the
Bridge House to her home, the Colusa
Hotel, after which both of her wounds
were probed. One ball entered the left
side of the breast above the heart, took a
downward course and lodged just above
the left hip. The other penetrated the
left thigh and lodged under the spine.
Vineiii still lies in the County Jail in a
precarious condition. One ballet has been
removed, but no trace of the other has
been found. The probe showed that one
entered the left breast and passed
through the lung. It was cut out of hii
back several inches below the line of the
point of entrance. He will probably not
live more than a few days.
Sheriff Jones, hearing the angry mut
tering! of the crowds on the streets last
night, quietly added several extra guards
at the jail. This was a wise precaution,
for had the young lady's wounds proved
fatal an attack would hay.- certainly been
made upon the prison.
It was learned to-day that on May 7
Vinelli approached the girl on the same
bridge where the shooting took place and
was seen to draw a pistol in a threatening
manner. The affair was hush d up to
avoid unpleasant notoriety. A few days
ago Vineiii was seen at the cemetery act
ing in a queer manner, throwing sticks
and clods at the trees. He also entered
the yard of G. W. White and sat in front
of the house for a half-day.
He left before White returned, and when
White went so town to have him arrested
be found that Vinelli was working peace-
ably. Thinking his actions were tbe
freaks of a drunken man, be let the mat
ter pass from his mind.
Vinelli, a few days prior to the shooting,
stopped in front of the house where Miss
Sabin and her mother live, in Cooper's
Extension. The young lady was sitting
on the porch, and Pedro stopped, removed
his hat and stood gazing at the girl until
she became {lightened and ran into the
house, after which he left.
It is said that his ex- wife, who now lives
in Sacramento, left him because of his
harsh treatment of her, and is now blind
in one eye, her loss of sight Laving been
caused by a blow from him. The town is
more quiet to-night, and unless the girl's
condition changes for the worse, no vio
lence is fean-d.

SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 25.— News comes
from Sitka by the steam collier Willamette
of a horrible case of poisoning. When the
steamer left there were indications that
Judge Lyncn would try the culprit

GUARDS IN SHAM BATTLE.
Detachments of the First Regiment
Will Strive for the Mastery
on Friday.
UKIAH, Cal., Aug. 25. -Now that the
denizens of Camp Macdonald have grown
fairly well accustomed to the tori id
weather, things military have progressed
swimmingly. It was somewhat cooler to
day than heretofore and the forest fires on
Pine Ridge Dave about burned themselves
out, leaving the heavens a cerulean blue.
Considerable Indignation was expressed
here over the tale in a morning paper to
the effect that Private Cailaghan had run
up against a Round Valley cowboy and
been lassoed, serious injury being pre
vented only by the interposition of friends.
The only groundwork for the statements
is, they say, that the cowboy was engaged
in conversation with a group of the mili
tia, during which Callaghan said he had
beard of a great many more feats of the
rope on the part of vaqueros in general
than he was inclined to believe in.
The cowboy turned as if to ride away,
and turning quickly in a spirit of mis
chief threw his lariat over Callaghan's
bead. He had no intention of doing him
injury.
After breakfast to-day the Second Batta
lion went to the rifle range and practiced
throughout the remainder of the day.
The First and Third battalions, in squads
of six, each commanded by a non-com
missioned officer, scoured the country in
tne region of the camp until nearly noon.
They then reported at headquarters, giv
ing general information, maps and other
data descriptive of the region visited.
Captain Carrington had advised these
movements in order to afford the men an
opportunity to familiarize themselves
with the character of the country where
the great prospective battle of Friday wiT
be held. Colonel Smith has, so for. de
cided that the regiment will be divided
into two armies and the men deployed in
skirmishing parties. Troops of cavalry
and batteries of artillery will be repre
sented by men stationed in prominent po
sitions with red and yellow flags.
Major Boston will nave charge of the
artillery and Major Sime will defend the
camp and Colonel Smith will occupy a
coign of vantare and direct the whole af
fair. Captain mer, Captain Cunning
ham, Captain Sutliffe and Adjutant Kelle
her will act as umpires and decide who is
winner.
SSOut on the field, where the regiment has
been drilling, is a yellow- jackets' nest and
several officers and men have been se
verely stung. Captain McCreagh was
stung on the necK yesterday morning
and on last nights parade Captain
Kitcher was stung near the leit
eye and that optic promptly swelled
so tbat he couldn't see with it. The
sanitary corps reduced the swelling
very speedily. It is understood that Jake
Wurtenburg, the "Pride of Cow Flat,"
bas volunteered to wage war on the
troublesome insects with a firemen's hose
cart.
Colonel Smith's cook and one, of the
waiters had a slight disagreement this
morning, and after a shower of cups,
saucers and plates from each side Cook
Myers ended the trouble, temporarily at
least, by laying the waiter out with a blow
on the cranium from a pitcher. The
waiter's scalp was stitched, an l ha was
sent home in disgrace.
The officer of the day is Captain Eggert
of Company L, officer of the guard Lieu
tenant A. F. Ramm of Company B ana
medical officer of the day Dr." Somers.
There are now just 513 men in camp.
EDUCATION OF CHILDREN.
Professor Edwards Says They Should
Be Kept From School Until Ame
Years Old.
SHASTA RETREAT, Cal., Aug. 25.—
The third day's session of the Northern
California Teachers' Convention opened
this morning with a lecture by Professor
George C* Ed wards of the State University
on "Mathematics in Primary and Gram
mar Grades." He snggesiei that children
should not be sent to school until they
were eight or nine years of age. The law
permitting children of six years to attend
school was good for rich society people,
who did not want to be burdened with
the care of their children, and for very
poor parents who worked for their living.
But even the restriction of such young
children, the speaker said, stunted their
growth, physically and abnormally de
veloped their mind", which was also in
jurious to them. The professor aroused
some adverse expressions of opinion on
this subject, bnt he maintained his posi
tion with great earnestness.
In t c afternoon Professor Edward
Howard Griggs of -Stanford resumed his
talk on "History." He is one of the most
versatile and able lecturers present. State
Superintendent Black read a paper on
"Graduation of Primary and Grammar
Schools." He advocated a four years'
c >nr3e in al the high schools of the State.
Dr. T. P. Bayley of < the University of
California to-night lectured lor the second
time to a large audier.c**;. ":*t§P&_sgfepi£SE
After the meeting adjourned this after
noon a large number of the ieacr.ers
visited Moss Brae Falls. There are so
many beautiful points of interest near by
that it is a task for some of tin-- pedagogues
to be prompt in their attendance at the
mornins sessions, and President . Stout
bas found it n< c :ssary to admonish tbem
to attend to their duties first and seek
pleasure afterward. However, they dis
play remarkable interest in the proceed
ings of the convention, sitting in'the hall
for six or seven hours a day, and taking
notes of the lectures that the pertinent
points may the raor« firmly be impressed
upon their minds.

Charles Glazier of Reno
Shoots the Man Who
Wronged Him.

Breaks Into a House Which Shel

With a Pistol.
RENO, Nev., Aug. 25.— A.. A. Smith, a
ne'er-do-well, eloped with the pretty
young wife of Charles Glazier of Reno on
Monday, the pair taking Glazier's two
children with them. To-night Smith is
': dying acres the line in California, having
i been pursued and shot by the wronged
I husband.
Smith has been attentive to Charles
Glazier's wife for some time and on sev
eral occasions of late there had been alter
cations between the two men. Last week
Glazier warned Smith to keep away from
his residence or he would kill him. Gla
zier was employed on a farm near by. On
going to his home on . Monday night he
found the house vacant, but a note on the
bureau informed him that his wife bad
taken 'the two children and fl-d with
Smith. The irate husband hitched up a
team and drove to his mother-in-law's
residence, and. joined by the latter,
started in search of the eloping couple.
Early this morning the ranch of
Hemy Dean, in Long Valley. California,
was reached, and Glazier ascertained that
his wife and Smith were housed there.
Without ceremony he battered down a
door and began a search in the several
rooms for Smith. He found the latter
standing in a doorway, and, drawing his
revolver, opened' fired on him. shooting
five times. Three of the bullets took effect,
one shattering the right wrist, one pene
trating the shoulder and a third passing
through the body on the left side between
the hip and ribs. Smith fell at the last
shot.
Dunne the shooting Glazier's mother
in-law effected an entrance to the room
occupied by tbe sleeping children, and,
taking them in her arms, carried them to
the wagon outside.
Without waiting • to see the effect of
bis shots Glazier made his escape after
the fifth shot ano started for Reno with
bis children, arriving there about mid
day. He reported the shooting to the offi
cers and said he was ready for arrest, but
as the crime was committed in California
the officers said they bad no - jurisdiction
and wculd allow him his freedom until
asked to do something by the California
authorities.
It is learned to-night that Smith's
wounds will probably prove fatal, as he
had to undergo a ride of ten miles to
reach a physician and was very weak
from loss of blood.
Glazier says he is perfectly willing that
his wife should remain witb Smith, but
that be will protect his children with his
life. The woman is only 19 years old and
her lover is considered one of the rough
est characters in this section.

FRESNO, Cal., Aug. 25.— The annual
influx of laborers to Fresno County from
all parts of the State with the opening of
the grape season has brought with it the
usual contingent of hard characters, who
find opportunities, to ply their vocations
when everybody is making a few dollars.
Last night three of this class of men looted
a Chinese washbouse at Selma, fifteen
miles south of this city. They were after
ward captured and are now in the County
Jail charged with burglary. ■ V.vVV
It was about midnight when the gang
proceeded to Selma's limited Chinatown
and attacked Sing Kee's laundry. They
stationed themselves around the place to
capture the Chinaman should he at
tempt to escape. Then one of the robbers
threw a tack partially filled witn coke
through a window to get the Mongol out,
but although Sing Kee was awakened and
badly frightened he remained inside.
Unsuccessful in the attempt to get the
Chinaman out the rascals broke in the
door and forced their way in. Sing Kee
sat cowering and speechless with fear. He
would not respond to the robbers' demands
for money, and they then b?san abusing
him. They beat him severely, but these
efforts to force him to give up his money
were of no avail, for the Chinese would
not say a word. The trio of robbers then
searched the Mongol and ransacked the
house. Sing's household effects and wash
ing outfit- afterward looked as though a
cyclone had passed through them.
The robbers found no money, but they j
took everything else tbey could make use j
of, including almost all the clothing of
customers which the Chinaman had on j
band.
About this time the night watchman of
the town, attracted by the noise made by
the robbers, arrived and the trio fled.
Sing Kee managed to tell him what had
happened, and Justice Meracle was
aroused and warrants were issued by him.
This morning the constables, who had
been watching tbe gang before, captured
them. Charges of disturbing the peace
were preferred to hold them, and later
complaints charging burglary were filed
in Justice Tucker's court.
Tne prisoners were brought to the Coun
ty Jail in this city this evening by Con
stable Spencer and Deputy Delashmutt,
and they gave the names of John O'Con
nor, James Murphy and Jack Bates. The
clothing they stole has not yet been re

Denand for Wheat Land.
HANFORD, Cal, Aug. 25.— As a result
of tbe high price of wheat this year there
i as been a brisk demand here for land
which can be leased, aqd it is expected
that all the land available will be planted
to grain for the coming season. .Amaisi
Clark, a wheat-grower of Dlnuba, has just
finished harvesting his 9700 acres of wheat.
The yield wa* 50,0.0 sacks, and Clark has

Santa Clara's Wheat Crop.
SAN JOSE, Cal., Aug.2s.— The wheat crop
of Santa Clara County is estimated at 3000
tons. This is an increase of 1000 tons over
last year. Although most of the county's
acreage is devoted to fruit and wines, at
the present price of wheat it means an
additional gain of about $50,000 to the
farmers. The increase of the wheat yield
over last year is due to a less acreage in
bay. .... r~''..\tf rtf'U

HARASSED BI IUU.\G CULPRITS
Guests of the Hel Monte Tictitns of ,Ma
licious Mischief.
DEL MONTE, Cal., Aug. 25.— Tbe Del
Monte management has been greatly an
noyed of late by a number of acts of ma
licious mischief committed in the vicinity
of the Djl Monte baths, and which appear
to be the work of small boys. Persons
leaving their bicycles outside the baths
return to find a tire punctured or a screw
or nut gone, and horses hitched in drive
way in tront are found with the hitch-rein
untied or some portion of the harness un
buckled. Tacks and bus of glass along
the paths have proved disastrous to pedes
trians as well as to wheelmen, and a dozen
other evidences of v ciousness have ap
peared.
The climax was reached when one of
the gardeners found three of the core
trees along the main avenue near the
baths chopped and hacked to such an ex
tent that there is no hope of saving them.
As these trees grow very slowly, it will be
several years before they can_be replaced.

er*. The impaneling of the jury goes on
to-morrow.
White Men in I>- mand.
SANTA ROSA, Cal, Aug.2s.— Hop-grow
ers contiguous to Santa Rosa say tbat the
bop crop is ripenit g rapidly, but there ls
great scarcity of pickers. There is an anti-
Chinese feeling in this county and the
growers prefer to hire white labor when
obtainable. Thus, far white hands are
not to be had in sufficient numbers, and
the growers say they will be compelled to
hire Chinese and Indians.
