HIGH GRADE QUALTZ
SHIPPED TO SMELTER
Twenty tons of high grade gold ore
from the Primrose and Blue Bell
mines is en route to the Tacoma
smelter.
t'harles Hubbard, owner of the Blue
Bell, has had two men at work all win
ter taking out ore which is rich
enough to pay over $75 per ton in ex
cess of all costs for freighting down
Porcupine to Kenai lake, across the
lake to mile 18, over the United Slates
railroad to Seward, hy ship to the
smelter and the cost of smelting.
| The future of these properties Is
! practically assured, the ore lode hav
I ing been traced continuously for about
I five miles. Difficulty in securing cap
j ital for mining In the early part of
: the Kuropean war has delayed devel
opment work on these properties, but
it is possible that a small stamp mill
may be Installed during the coming
season.

FRANCE UTILIZES
ITS ITER
POWER
_
(By Associated Press.)
PARIS, Jan. 22. — The water power ^
oi the Alps, the Pyrenees and tin* cen- i
f»al mountainous region is playing ai
big role in the military effort of :
j Prance and will have* an even greater ;
I share in tin* after war economic strug
, Rio.
Many new hydraulic power plants,
, horn of the war needs, are turning out j
shells, chemicals and other necessi
ties for the army. Many others, horn
ol the coal famine and its lessons will
replace steam power after the war.
Prance utilized thirteen per cent of
i h total estimated natural water pow
er in 1911. she was utilizing more'
than twenty per rent in July of this
yoar and the proportion is every day
increasing. Competent engineers li.\
at 4,GOO,ouo horse power the energy
Prance could secure from its water
tails at low water, while !),2OU,O00
horsepower is the estimate'for aver
age seasons. The total steam energy
used in Prance before the was was
only about 2,500,000 horse power, di
vided among €4,000 establishments,
i The water power of the Alps has
given the name of the “Vale of Alu
cminum” to the valley of the Are,
where 02,000 horse-power is sued
transforming alumine into aluminum
bars. La Komanche, in the wild val
ley from I lours d’Oissons to Point de
Claiz, is the “valley of carburet and
metallic allows,” absorbing G2,onu
horse power Klectric steel plants are
concentrating in the basin of tin
Ally, where one concern has installed
a complete mill with electric furnaces
run by turbines of 22,ooo horse power.
Seven important new plants are being
built in the region of C.renoblo.
In the \ llev of the Durance new
plants aggregating 74,000 horse-power
tor the el* < iro-ehemieal industry are
under way. while above Modane one
of the biggest chemical works in
Prance ha< acquired rights to about
120.000 horse-power of water fall that
will be utilized speedily.
Hydraulic electric plants in central
France have saved the family ribbon
Industry of Saint Ktienne. The lit
tle home shops had begun to disap
pear unable to compete with the
mill Klectrlc motors of a quarter
of a horse power have set this domes
tie occupation going again, keeping
at home men and women who would
otherwise have been driven to the
looms of the big mills. Little motors
are used all through that region for
cabinet making. Had they not existed
before the* war It would he necessary
to invent them or something equiva
lent for the use of the maimed sol
diers.
The electric motor is counted upon j
also to solve the* problem of farm help
in regions accessible to current. Co
operative societies tire being formed
to buy current for distribution among
the members; the installation of a
power station is being considered by
one of them. A law to encourage
and help such projects is now being
considered in the chamber.
Klectrie energy for Paris, brought
from the Alps, is the most ambitious
project for the future. A dam 75
yards high in the Phone at Lenissiat,
hacking the water up 14 miles to the
Swiss frontier, will furnish a fall suf
ficient to operate a power station of
225.000 horsepower and 240,000 kilo
watts. The energy is to he trans
ported to Paris in the form of an al
ternating current under a tension of
120.000 volts. The line of transmis
sion will he 212 miles long.
One hundred and twenty million
francs is the estimated outlay - - the
cost of about a day and a half of war
to France*.
This enterprise would alone econo
mize ].Son,oho tons of the 20,000,000
ton of coal France imported annually
before the war. Kngineers figure that
: current brought from the Swiss fron
tier may he sold with sufficient profit
in Paris at 2 centimes a kilowatt hour,
! an economy of about 50 per rent on
the cost of current produced by steam
before the war.
