NEW TELEPHONE
SYSTEM COMING
INVENTOR OF WIRELESS SAYS
HE WILL WORK HERE
PREDICTS EARLY CONNECTION
WITH OTHER CITIES
Declares That Within Five Years
Wires viii Be Out of Date
Even for Social
Use

A. Frederick Collins, electrical ply
sicist and inventor of wireless tele-
phony, accompanied by general officers
of the eastern company with which he
is connected arrived in Los Angeles
yesterday with plans for establishing
and installing wireless telephones in
this vicinity and eventually to become
lessly circle the United States.
The inventor, who has not visited
this state for twenty years, was as
tonished at the remarkable growth
shown in commercial, industrial and
social fields, and pleased with what he
termed the receptive mood of laymen
in regard to the late wonders Of mod
ern science.
There is one thing about your city
that 1 don't like said Mr.. Collins to
a representative of The Herald yester-
day, "and that Is the complacent
humor it puts one in. I am content to
stay here and move about always in
a tranquil state Of mind, calmly neg
lecting the many duties that call me
back east.
This city with its lovely homes,
picturesque architecture, shaded streets
my tastes, but we are here only to
put through some plans that our COM
pany has worked on for a year or
more, to connect by means of the wire
less ether the Atlantic and Pacific
coast.
I'VE will begin by endeavoring to es-
tablish the system locally, radiating
to many points from Los Angeles.
Before long we will have wireless con-
nection with Santa Barbara, Oxnard,
Ventura, San Pedro, Venice, Long
Beach, Monrovia, Covina, Whittier,
Santa Ana, San Bernardino, Riverside,
Ontario, Pasadena, San Diego and 9TH
er points.
I'VE are now established in Newark,
Baltimore, Washington and Norfolk.
Work is going ahead fast in Seattle,
and we are here to push matters in
this state, In Seattle we are installing
instruments and the new selective "V''
serial VIII be generally used and we
will be able to transmit messages at
one-third the local wire telephone rate
Subsidiary companies are being
formed in ten states at the present
time for the building of stations ia
perfect the general service for America
Scientists maintain that so prac-
tical is wireless communication that
in a decade 1t will be a household ar
ticle in many cities in the United
States. In this regard 1 do not think
that the east will be more quick than
the west to grasp the new means of
communication, and l think 1t is safe
to predict that in five years it will be
in use, socially as we'll as CONNER
cially, here"

May Build New Road

The report comes from Tonopah,
New, that the proposed Goldfield-Ely
railroad, which is an extension of the
Tonopah & Tidewater, has been
financed in New York. While the re-
port cannot be verified in Los Angeles,
it is accepted as reliable from the fact
that heavy stockholders in the rail-
road are the owners Of vast proved
mineral deposits in the country which
will be penetrated. At one Of these
camps, Tybo, silver ores to the value
of several million dollars were mined
many years ago, and the deposits left
will be valuable with low transporta-
ton rates such as the proposed road
will afford.

main tunnel at depth of 14O feet below
the old workings. From this point a
drift was run to the west 220 feet along
the hanging wall. from where the VEN
was crosscut to the foot, a distance Of
twenty-five feet. The crosscut exposed
five feet Of ore which samples 7 per
cent copper and $3.50 in gold and silver.
Because of the amount of work done
on No. vein Mr.. Harvey has been
able only to estimate the value of the
ore, which he puts at $4,000 That this
is an ultra-conservatiYe estimate Is in
dicated by the extensive stope in the
old workings in the carbonate zone
where a shoot measuring $50 feet In
length and 10 to % feet across has been
mined. West of this shoot the vein out
crops for 900 feet and is 100 feet wide.
Another Big outcrop
While but three known ore shoots are
mentioned in Mr.. Harvey's report on
the tonnage developed in the mine, and
which he values, net, at $1,144,000, these
are by no means the entire assets of
the company. One of the biggest out
crops on the property, extending for
1000 feet with a width of 25 to 80 feet,
has not yet been developed below
the carbonate zone, the extensive work
ings of the natives having caved. 1t is
the intention to drive for this ore body
either from No. / level or the main
tunnel
The workings mentioned as having
been extended from the two tunnel
levels are all connected up with the
vertical shaft, which at depth of 226
feet is near No. 1 vein. In addition the
shaft is connected at the bottom with
No. l and No. veins by a crosscut. A
drift was driven east along the hang
ing wall for 1856 feet, from where a
crosscut into the vein exposed four feet
of good ore. In No. vein at this level
the Crosscut penetrated thirty Eight
feet into ore Of a commercial or mill
ing grade.
Copper in Water
The mine is making thirty gallons of
water a minute, which is so heavily
impregnated with copper that the or
binary steel or iron water pipes cannot
be used. A plant has been installed to
precipitate the copper carried in the
water.
Strang evidences of teaching are still
apparent in the two veins opened on
the bottom level, indicating that the
true water level and the zone of sec
ondary enrichment by teaching from
above has not been reached. Consider
able bornite and black oxide of copper
are present with the chaleopyrites on
the lower level which materially In
creases the percentage of copper in the
ores.
Concluding his report Mr. Harvey
says: Taking everything into consid-
Grafton, large surface showings, trans
portation facilities, probability of as
yet undeveloped ore bodies low cost Of
labor and the gratifying results Of
work already accomplished, showing
the tonnage now ready for profitable
treatment, / do not hesitate to express
the opinion, based upon my experience
for the last eighteen years in Butte,
Coeur d'Alenes, British Columbia,
Washington and Nevada in the produc-
ton and treatment of various ores that
the Magistral-Ameca properties will
take rank with the large copper pro-
ducers of the country. needing only the
erection of a reduction plant to place
them at once on a dividend basis"
