Abstract
THE Journal of Electricity, published in San Francisco, contains accounts of several large schemes for the electrical transmission of power in California. In one of these the water furnishing the power required for lighting Blue Lakes City, and several neighbouring townships, is conducted from the Blue Lakes, situated near the summit of the Sierra Nevada Mountains; while another installation at Bakersfield derives its power from the Kern River canyon. The “Wild West” is certainly making great strides in the practical applications of electricity.
