There arealso installed in the transformer house three lightning arresters andon» high-tension oil switch panel. The circuit extends in a direct line running southwest from thepower house on Fall Creek to Yreka, a distance of 22 miles, whenceit continues on in another direct line tending west by southwest,passing the base of Humbug Mountain to New York Mine, 14 milesbeyond Yreka. Almost due south of the New York Mine and sep-arated 7 miles from it by way of the pole line is Fort Jones, whitherthe line also reaches, thus making the total length of the main line
