Vicrorta, rab: feta the legislature
today J. D. Prentice's bill respecting the
British Columbia Telephone company
met with vigorous objection from the
Kootenay members. J. M. Martin of
Rosslaid and R. F, Green of Kaslo
showed how the bill, in their opinion,
unless amended, would operate preju-
cially to the cities of Rossland and Kas-
lo. The ground taken by them being
supported by R. MacPhergon and Hon.
Joseph Martin of Vancouver. The latter
hold that no telegraph or telephone com-
pany should haveat any time been
given permission to string wires ina
city or town, and that the legislature
had and did exerciee the right to remove
such wires, even if authority had been
given by past legislation, Mr. Prentice
of Bog Creek, energetically defended the
justice of respecting vested rights. The
committee. finally rose, reporting © Prog-

There were few combination playa by.

No more enthuslastic lot of boys ever

Hn | c#pacity, and waa supplied by the Cana-

dian-Rand : ‘Drill company, or as itis
more comnionly and locally known, the.
Jencks machine Co. The other. com-
pressor, which is now on the road here,
is of 6-drill capacity also. It 1s expected.
to arrive every day, and will be put into
position as soon as it arrives, the foun-
dations being in readiness for it. ‘
The complete plant will have a'12-drill
capacity when all set up. complete, The
power for the plant is furnished by the
Kootenay Power & Light Co.

The motor was supplied by the’ Royal
Electric Company, of Montreal, with H.
O. Hinton as superintendent and weat-
ern agent, and consists of a big synchro-
nus motor of a-voltage of: 75 Kilowatt,
‘| which is about equal to "110 horae powee
in ordinary terms. There is also an in-
duc ion motor of 5-ho.s power capacityg
used for starting the machinery, and a

| small exciter forthe big, motor, and" a

watgr. re-atart., There are six trans-

: | formérs of different types-in the. phan

aa well, one for lights, three for srarters) :
and two for aging.
There ie an immense leather belt, 4

inches’ wide ‘that ‘connecta the motor: :

with the jack shaft, and another one 20
inches wide running from the jack shaft
to the compressor, and thereby “making
the connection complete.

_Each of these belts have a 25-foot cea
ter, and are cowhide of double: thick-
ness. ~The larger one alone containing:
46 hides. In the west side of the com:

ble diale, one on the direct and the other
on the alternatiag currents.
This is the firat 8. K.C. synchronous
electric moter plant ‘ever ~ installed in
Rossland camp, and for that rensen tts
action will be watched with a great :deal
ofinterest. There is a plant of similar.
system in Kaslo which operates the city
light wo.ks th-re.
The compressor was not connected gp —
today with the electric plant, and will
not be for'a few days yet. Aa it is the -
intention to let the moter plant run by.
itself for a few days until the bearings
are all smooth and in perfect order, #0
that when once the air is attached there
will be no stops or delays, or interfer-
ence in the constant supply of air for the
drills.
The machinery was running as smooth
aaa top today ever since the atart was
made, and H.C. Hinton, under whose
direction it was installed, on - behalf of *
the Royal Electric company, formally.
turned ever the plant to Sam Hall, the
superintendant of the mine, The mine
management ia highly pleased and de-
lighted with the formal trial of the new
plant, and special agent. Hinton also ex-
pressed his gratification at the very auc-
cessful today.
The second half of the. compressor is
on the way-here now and will be ine
stalled as coor as it arrives, giving ihe
full 12 drill capacity to the plant.

A constanstant stream of visitors were
coming and going during the day.
