Judging from the number of chill
dren going to Brandywine Springs
over the lines of the Peoples Railway,
there will be a large number Of happy
youngsters az the park to-day. They
began their travels early this morn

part Of the afternoon for there is no
limit to the time Of day when they
may use>the coupons given them when
they pay their fares.
These coupons are good for admis-

good for one additional chance at the

West Chester Contractor Using Sup
pOsedly Costly Material.

p0sedly costly Material.
A West Chester contractor is at
present engaged in piking a road near
Mount Cuba with gold ore. at least
It is such according TO the views taken
by the members of a New York com
pany which claims the yellow metal
exists some place in the vicinity in
paying quantities if the vein can only
be discovered.
In the stone taken out of a quarry
near the bodybuilding operations
traces of gold have been discovered,
but it is not in paying quantities. The
promoters OF the company have men
on the spot and they are watching the
stone taken out of a quarry after every
blast in hopes that a vein of paying
quality may yet be found. The con-
tractor Is doing double work on the
ground. He is opening the quarry for
the New York men and at the same
time securing stone of a fine hard
quality for the work on the road. A
number of specimens OF the ore have
been secured at different places in
the quarry and sent to New York for
analysis. II Is said much of the mate
rial has produced on an average Of 50
per ton. but this would not pay for
the mining.

PHONE CABLE
NOW In PLACE
Is One Of the Most Notable
improvements in TeIe-
phone Facilities
SHORTER CUT NOW
FOR PHONE Users

The laying of the armored submA-
rine cable beneath the waters of Ches-
apeake 10 has lately been completed.
This Is one of the most notable i'm
provements in telephone facilities in
this section Of the country that has
ever been undertaken and has attract
cd quite a little attention throughout
tue technical world because of the
many interesting features Of the new
cable.
The cable Is five miles long. II con-
tains sixteen pairs of wire. and il was
strung from Love Point, on Kent ISL
and, to Sandy Point. northeast of
Annapolis. Shipping and laying this
cable was a tremendous task, because
OF It's great weight and length.
When the cable left the New York
plant of the Western Electric Com,
pany, which manufactured il, II was
In four sections, each OF which. strung
on an immense reel, contained 5000
feet of lead covered and armored
feet of lead-covered and armored cable
Each spool with its load weighed S.
| 600 pounds.
The cable was taken from the foul
reels az the dock on West street New
York, and wound in a figure eight
on board barge. The barge wat
towed TO Chesapeake Bay and the CABLE
was then laid without mishap.
The installation OF this cable makes
possible a short cut for telephone sub
scribers In Baltimore who may wisl
to talk TO people In Delaware or OF
the eastern shores OF Maryland ant
Virginia. II means a saving OF fift,
miles between Baltimore and Cap
Charles.
The Bell Telephone Company q
Pennsylvania has run additional wire
to the terminals of this cable iron
points in the southern part of the east
