All the Material on the Way from the East-The Power House--A Popular Enterprise.
The contracts for the erection of the power house for the electric company is to be let on Monday next. The material used must be either brick or corrugated iron. The former being a scarce article just at present, owing to the activity in the building line, the chances are that corrugated iron will have to be used, as it is necessary that the structure must go up at once. The building will have a frontage on Water street of forty feet and a depth of eighty feet.
The machinery for the plant is all on the road from the east, bills of lading for the same having been received to-day. An expert electrician will be sent from Denver by the Edison company to place the machinery in running order. If the weather is at all favorable the prospects are good for turning on the lights before the middle of February. It is apparent that this enterprise will be very popular from the start, as many business men have announced their intention of putting in electric lights and they will be used in all the public institutions. There has also been several demands for electric power, and it is highly probable that the entire machinery of the New Mexican office will be run by this power, instead of by steam, in the near future.
