Work Win Soon Begin on Electric Plant at Ninety Nine Islands. (Charlotte Observer.) Official announcement has been made by the Southern Power Com pany of its plans shortly to com mence work on two fresh power sites, one at Ninety-Nine Islands on the | Broad river, six miles south of Blacksburg, S. C., and the ot^er at Rocky Creek, two miles below the | Great Kails station, on the Catawba | river. The development at the Nine ty Nine Islands will produce 16,0001 while that at Rocky Creek will pro-j dace :50,000 of electrical horse power. ! The total cost of these two develop- I meats will approximate $11,000,000. 1 Both wi’l be completed by January 1st, 1908. Mention was made a tew days ago of the addition of $2,500,000 to the [ capital of the Southern Power Com pany. That corporation now has the largest capital of any having head quarters in Charlotte. It owns the water rights for 110 miles along the Catawba river and controls the fol low!’ " named power sites: At the Catawba falls, near Rock Hill. S. C.; at. Mountain Island, near Charlotte; at the Lookout Shoals, near Newton; at the Horseford Shoals, near Hick ory; at Landsford, near Lancaster, S. C.; at the Ninety-Nine Islands, near Blacksburg. S. C.; at Great Falls near Fort Lawn, S. C., and the Wa- teree power, near Camden, S. C. The 150,000 of electrical horse-nower whP’ will be generated at these dif ferent points will be transmitted to cover a territory 150 miles In length and 100 miles in width. This ter ritory stretches from Taylorsville, on the north, to Columbia. S. C\. on the south; and from Greenville. S. C., on the west, to Darlington, S. C.. on the east. Cotton mills and manufacturing plants of all kinds dot this section, to all of which this flow er in time will be available. The Catawba falls development Rock Hill. S. was the first finish ed. Its 10.000 of electrical horse power was disposed of very shortlv after it had been upon the market. The big development at Great Fails, 10 miles below Fort Lawn, S. C., was then begun. Its 40,000 of electrical horse-power w ill be available early in January. Already between 15,000 and 20,000 horse power, or about one- half of this wHtiply has been sold. Negotiations are pending for the re mainder. The officials of the South ern Power Company believe that the entire output of the GreaP Falls sta tion will be sold before a single wheel turns. After the first of the > ear. there will be little power avail able from the present development^. Realizing this, the officials of the company met some time ago and agreed to begin a development which would m u et the demands of this ter ritory for some time to come. They determined to open up .as quickly as possible, not one power station but two, capable of producing between 45.000 and 50.00ft horse-power of electrical energy. With that already on the market, this wouUl give the Southern Power Company the con trol of approximately 100.000 by January 1st, 1908. When work was commenced on the Great Falls station last year, a por tion of the current generated there was intended to be transmitted to the mills about Gaffney, Blacksburg, Spartanburg and Greenville. S. C. The demand of the mills about Rock Hill. S. C., Gastonia and Charlotte, however, were so insistent that prac tically all of the current was dis posed of there. In order then to satisfy the demands of the mills about Spartanburg, Gaffney and Greenville. S. C.. it was decided to begin the development of the power at the NinetyNine Islands, six miles from Blacksburg and about 22 miles from Spartanburg. The plans and specifications for the work there have already been drawn. Some of the contracts for the machinery will be let within 30 days. The building of the tenant honse« tor the workers and the clear ing away of the land will he begun at once. The 16,000 of electrical horse power which win be generated at that plant will go to supply the needs of the mills in the adjacent cities. The power which is to he deVelop- r ’ f >» the Catawba, two miles below the Great Falls station house, and "Mich will be Known as the Rocky Creek power, will produce 30,000 horsepower. Transmission lines will connect this station with the on.' just above it ried to th Catawba c. Power in Chester ;*nd el sew ' • ’ d.
