The Colorado Smelting Company hascontracted for two revolving field,synchronous motors, oneof 300 h. p., 164 revolutions and the other of 300 h. p.,450revolutions, both on the 440 volt circuits, and three 15 induction starting motors. The Montana Ore Purchas-ing Company, will install one 300 h. ,syn-chronous motor and two 100 h. p. induction motors. From the above the interesting fact will be noticed. NSULATOR that the load in the Montana Power Companys station isdivided between synchronous and induction motors and anon-induction load of incandescent lamps, and conse-quently the most satisfactory results are expected. IT is stated that a number of New York capitalistspropose to buy the electric light and gas plants, and theelectric railways of Battle Creek and Kalamazoo, Mich.,the new electric railway now in process of constructionbetween Battle Creek and Kalamazoo, the electric lightplant of Albion, the electric railway and lighting plantat Jackson, and the electric railway of Lansing.
