NEW SYSTEM PLANNED
 FOR ALASKA CABLE

Experiments which will reyolu- ,;onize the methods used ,n che oper- atton of cable telegrams through the use of the type of receiving msCru- monts employed in radio conmuni- cation have been conducted by the War department in Seattle and have Ey"yed remarkably successful, accord ing to officers of United States Signal Cops today.
 The experiments were made under direction of Lieut.. Col George o. Squier, who has been seeking a new method of receiving messages over the government cable lines. A series of tests were made in Seattle on the Seattle-SitI,a cable, l,O6G miles long. by officers of the United States Sig nal Corps under the direction of the war department.
 The use of type of receiving in- strument employed in radio commu- mcatiea is said to premit the recep- ti)n of ordinary Morse signals by ear, eliminating the necessity for highly trained cable readers and permitting the operations of ocean cables under conditions that would make communi- cation impossible under the present system.
 It is expected that the new appa- ratus will be installed in Seattle and at all of the Alaska cable stations in the near future as a result of the ex- periments just completed.-Ex.

Traversing the property is a well defined quartz vein of an average width of 3 it., lying along a contact of granite and slate, the vein being a continuation of the Granite vein, from which about S35O,0OO has been taken in the past few months. A prospect shaft has been sunk on the vein at some distance from the Gran ite lines, and has uncovered vein 3H it. wide, carrying high grade, the richest of which is being sacked as taken out and saved for future treatment. He has added to the force at the property, and has arranged to start a development, the present. plan being to extend a tunnel into the hill for 15O it. The indications are at this time more favorable, as the vein has been uncovered at various points, and in every instance good milling ore has been discovered.-Mining World.
