WIRES LAID IN TRENCHES
How Prof. Morse Built the First
Telegraph Line.
DiEiculty in Getting Permission for
Constructing Line from Balti-
more 10 Washington.

The Wall Street News of January 3
contains an interesting history OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from its be
ginning TO the present day. In reference
to the building Of the first telegraph line,
which was along the Baltimore and Ohio
right Of way, the sketch says:
Truly it has been said that this forty
miles of line between Baltimore and
Washington, on the Baltimore and Ohio
the Washington branch-is one Of the
most historic sections Of railroad on the
American continent. 1t was on this sec
ton Of road that the telegraph was first
used. Prof. S. r. B. Morse. a man Of in
ternational fame as a scholar, chemist,
artist. &c, conceived the idea Of placing
the nations Capital in communication
with the outside world by means of the
electric telegraph. Prof. Morse at once
set about to get the permission Of the
Baltimore and Ohio officials TO construct
his invention on the Washington Branch.
The officials of the road, Ike most other
people Of the time, did not look with
favor upon the project, and were 10th to
grant Prof Morse's request.
President McLane referred the matter
to his chief counsel. John II. 2. Latrobe.
with instructions to decline Prof. Morse s
request in as diplomatic a way as posi-
bic. Morse was invited by Mr. Latrobe TO
take tea at his home one evening, there
to discuss the matter. After listening TO
AIorse's views, Mr.. Latrobe became so en-
Unused over the feasibility Of his ideas
that he became a believer in Morse's
theory. President McLane then in
structed Mr.. Latrobe to present Prof.
Morse to his brother Benjamin II. La
trobe who was the compalys chief engi-
neer. This he did, and the minutes of the
board Of directors record the fact that a
communication was received from Prof.
Morse. in 1913, requesting official permits
sion TO construct his telegraph; and the
minutes further state that report was
also received from Chief Engineer La
trobe on the same subject. The permits
sion was finally given Morse to construct
his invention on the line Of the Baiti-
more and Ohio, It being stipulated THAI
the company was 10 have use Of wires
without any cost being incurred, and il
further reserved the right to remove the
wires should ii be deemed advisable to
do so.
Having received permission TO lay his
wires in trenches along its right Of way
between Baltimore and Washington.
Morse appealed TO Congress for an appTo-
priation to carry on the construction As
a consequence OF this, he and his tele-
graph were The subject Of much funmak-

City Built with Gold and silver
Bricks Goes to SmeIter.
From the Mexican Helald
One reads Of romantic castles Of silver
and palaces Of gold. but they are the
dreams OF hction-now they have dis
covered something as strange on the
map Of Mexico. The buildings of a whole
town have been bought at so much per
ton. based on assays from the adobe
walls which give gold and silver values.
This town is Guanajuato's suburb. Te-
petapa, at a value Of about $4,000 Next
can currency.
The value Of this little town was re-
vealed when the Mexisan Central decided
to build into the city of Gu2najuato and
to establish a station there, running into
the heart Of the town.
II was found necessary to tear down
about three hundred buildings which had
been built OF the shines produced by
the grinding Of ores from the numerous
mines Of the district. Straw was mixed
with the slime and in this way the adobe
bricks were made.
When it became known that the Cen
trail would have TO tear down these
houses an enterprising ore-buying com
pany asked for permission to assay ore
taken from the buildings This was
granted and samples were picked from the
walls at various heights and on various
sides Of the buildings. the assays run
ming in value from So to s2i per ton in
gold and silver. The values averaged
about IS gold Der ron
As the buildings were built in various
bonanza epOchs, it was found that the
values varied to 4 large extent. For
instance, wall on one side of house
would assay low value, whereas a
wall on the other side, built at an earlier
or later time. would assay a high value.
mans kitchen might assay 30 cents
per ton and his parloT $50
That the walls are found to contain
more gold thar silver values is due To
the fact that the old patio process of
treating the ores was more effective in
extracting silver than gold values and the
shines left were richer in gold than sir
YER 1t will be harder to build such 4
town In the future. as the camp is now
fitted out wi'h modern appliances for
treating ores.
