 LONDON CAPITAL
Mining Man Who Was Here Last Summer WIII Return at
 Early Date

In the last mail MT. O. Roberts received a letter from MT. c. E. Campbell, a mining engineer who was here last summer and is now in London, Eng. The writer stat ed that he would leave London shortly and expected to reach Valdez about March i.
 MT. Campbell thought very highly of the prospects of this district and has continued to do so. He has chosen this section for his field of action in prefer ence to any of the other camps visited since leaving here, includ- ing the famous Porcupine district in Ontario. He says there is plenty of money in the London markets to buy developed proper ties, but that capital is timid in undertaking t0 develop prospects, especially when a cash payment is d manded by the owners.
 He conveys the news that he has organized a syndicate of London capitalists who will put up money to operate in this district. He knows the date of his arrival in Valdez is rather early to permit of all inspection of many of the properties here, bui says he pre- fc-s t0 return carly in order to give him all opportunity of be- coming acquainted with cOndi- | tiOnS.

TELEPHONE COMPANY
PLANS IMPROVEMENTS
Five Thousand Additional Miles OF
Wire to BE Strung in Texas.

Five Thousand Additional Miles OF
Wire to BE Strung in Texas.
Dallas, Texas, March 4.-The
Southwestern Telegraph and Tele-
phone company has made and plan
ned large number of additions and
improvements in its lines that will
greatly increase the range of good
conversation. These improvements
will be effected very largely by the
use of device known as the Fupin,
or loading coil. This device is an in
vention of Prof Pupin of Columbia
University and practically doubles
the range of conversation over any
wire on which it Is placed. Some of
the recent improvements made by
the Southwestern are as follows:
A heavy copper wire has been
strung from Fort Worth to Amaril-
10 and thence to Tucumcari, N NJ.
This line gives communication from
Dallas and Fort Worth to northern
New Mexico and from the Panhan-
die to all of New Mexico and the
southern half of Colorado as far
north as Denver.
In. January Pupin coils were
placed on the line from this city to
the Red river. This enables the hold
ing Of satisfactory communication
with the larger cites of the north
and east, including Milwaukee, Min
neapolis, Cleveland, Detroit and Gin
cinnati. In the quiet hours of The
evening conversation can be held
with New York, a distance of 1855
wire miles.
On December 8, 1911, the South
western had 1850 miles of poles
and 6,375 miles of toll wire in
Texas. The plans for 1912 call for
about $50 additional miles of poles
and 5000 additional miles ct wire.
