TO HAVE WIRELESS TELEdRApHY.
System To Be Established Across Canada
from Cape Breton to Victoria.

Victoria, B. c.. Nov. 12.-J. N.
Greenshields, solicitor of the Marconi
wireless Telegraph company, now here,
announced today that the company is
about to establish system OF wireless
telegraphy across the Dominion of Can
ada, connecting Victoria with Cape
Breton. He said that not only would
the company operate system Of wire-
less telegraphy across the ocean, but a
also land line across the continent
from Cape Breton to Victoria. Sta
tions will be erected at many points
across the Dominion, and all the prin-
cipal cities and towns of Canada i'm
cluded in the system, the principal sta
tions being at Halifax. Quebec, Mon
treal, Toronto, Hamilton, Kingston,
London, ssult Ste Marie, Port Arthur,

toria.
The saving Of tolls will be great
when the new sytsem is in vogue, for
press messages will be sent for one-halt

be reduction Of go per cent on COM
mercial messages. He says there is no
longer any doubt regarding the SUCCESS

SOURCE OF ORE FOUND.
Old-Tlme Colorado Mining Camp Expected
to Boom Again.

Pueblo, Colo, Nov. IL. - For 20
years people have been trying to find
the source of the ore at Silver Cliff,
and at last it has turned up, only half
a mile from the town. The strike
made few days ago by Haskell & jack
son, two veteran assayers, seems to be
the most important in Southern Colo
RADIO for many years. They are now
literally quarrying out the ore, and
shipping it by the carload. Immense
sums have been spent in vain efforts to
find the ore which was known to be
there, the search including the Geyser
Prospect shaft, which is 1900 feet
deep. The ore has been found just
below the surface on government land.
1t runs $44 per ton, and picked speci-
mems yield rs ounces Of gold and much
silver. There is great excitement in all
that region, and everything has been
staked for miles. 1t is anticipated that
Silver Cliff, once the second town in the
state, will boom again.

COST OF RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Increased Appropriations Are Necessary
to Meet Requirements.

" HiCCS requirements
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE annual
gross cost of complete rural free deliv-
cry service throughout the United
States will approximate $4,000, 900,
according to the annual report which
First Assistant Postmaster General
Wynne received from August W.
machen, general superintendent of the
service. The remaining 700, 900 square
miles not now covered by rural free de-
livery service, according to the report,
will require the employment of $4,000
or 27, 900 carriers in addition to those
now employed, making the entire force
of carriers, when the extension of the
service is completed, within the next
three years, 10000. After this extern
sion is completed the annual rate of in
crease in the appropriation is expected
not to exceed s or 8 per cent, the rate
maintained in the other branches of
the postal service. To extend the
service IL, 900 routes year until it be-
comes universal, the report says, will
require such largely increased appro-
priations that the annual postoffice de-
ficits for the ensuing two or three years
will probably reach $s,000,0O0 or
