The latter installation consisted ofthree 500-horse-power generators driven byimpulse wheels under a 300-foot head. Thetransmission was 21 miles at 16,000 March, 1899, the Yuba Electric PowerCo. was organized and absorbed the YubaPower Co. In May of the same year actualwork was commenced on the construction ofa 60-mile line for 40,000 volts to Sacramen-to, and the construction of a large powerhouse on the North Yuba River, now knownas the Colgate Power House of the BayCounties Power Co., the capacity of the plantbeing 15,000 horse-power furnished by sevengenerators driven by impulse wheels under700 feet head.

He was then with the Califor-nia Gas & Electric Corporation, San Fran-cisco, Cal., for whom he constructed severalpower houses, one of 10,000 and another of20,000 horse-power capacity. Much of histime was spent in the mountains in connec-tion with the development and constructionof these plants. After a brief illness died at his home in San Fran-cisco, March 29, 1904. Mr. Theberath read a paper on Light- ning on Transmission Lines before theSacramento convention of the Pacific CoastElectric Transmission Association, whichwas published in the Journal of Electricity,and was extracted by the Electrical Worldand the London Engineer, December 31,1897, ^id ^Iso a paper on Telepho
