scheduled to be completed this month,
according to R. L. Dodge, District Su-
perintendent of Plant for the Tele-
phone Company.
Approximately $4,000 is being
spent to supply additional lines for
the new telephones in this growing sec
tion. About 100000 feet of the new
wire will be in underground cables,
the remainder is to be placed in over
head cables.
This is in keeping with the Bell
System policy of placing telephone
wires in cables wherever practicable,
1t reduces the chances of a temporary
suspension of telephone service from
storm causes, for lead-cOvered cables
are practically storm-proof.
When completely installed and in
service, the new wire will give Arden
and the immediate surrounding sec
tions a telephone system that is as
complete as any in the State.
Groome Marcus, Construction Fore
man for the Telephone Company, is in
charge. He has a construction gang
of telephone workmen on the job. The
cable splicing is to be done by two
cable crews, headed by William Fisher.
From the central office at Holly
Oak, on the Philadelphia-Holly Oak
Pike, the new wire will be pulled
through present underground ducts
along the pike as far as Harvey Road.
They will then follow Harvey Road to
Arden.
The placing of seventy new poles
for the wire is also involved in the
work.

LARGER SWITCHBOARD
AT LEWES, DELAWARE

An addition to the sY!!tsSSnp1ard IN
LeWes, Delaware, was recently made
by the Diamond State Telephone Com.
pany. This addition provided larger
facilities for handling toll calls.
The need for additional toll facil-
tiles was due in part to the increase
in such calls from Rehoboth, which are
handled through Lewes central Office,
and partly to growth in Lewes, ac-
cording to Manager G. B. Sypherd of
Dover.
Mrs. Lee Pepper, operator at Re-
hoboth, reports about 1875 toll calls
day from this popular Delaware
watering place.

GENERAL CHART SHOWING INCREASE
IN Toll CALLS SINCE 1916

From their knowledge of what each
section of the State grows, telephone
people can tell from observing the
charts what particular foodstuff is be-
ing harvested, and, from the volume of
calls, they obtain some idea of the size
of the crop. When the southern part
of the State begins to show an increas-
ing number of calls and the Selbyville
and Bridgeville sections show less, it
means that the strawberry season is
passing and the huckleberry season is
on.
This condition is true throughout
the whole harvest season. Western Del
aware does a large toll business when
the cantaloupes are being shipped.
Wheat causes Smyrna and Middletown
to increase the toll traffic, and when
sweet potatoes are marketed in the
Fall, toll calls jump in Laurel, Delmar
and Seaford.

TOLL CALLS ARE
CROP INDICATORS
Show Infse.astins Data on
Various Foodstuffs
in the State

An interesting cross-section Of the
agricultural activity in Delaware is OBJ
tanned from the toll charts Of the Dia-
mond State Telephone Company. These
charts showing the number of toll calls
handled in each part of the State are
indicative of the crop that is being
harvested at the time and to some ex-
tent they show the size of the crop.
When toll calls around Selbyville
and Bridgeville increase, it means that
the strawberry season is on. The toll
calls are heavier due to the growers
making out-of-town arrangements for
shipping, for market prices and sales.
.As the harvest season progresses these
calls increase in volume. When it wanes
the calls fall off.

10 INSTALL BIG DREDGE ON NOME PLACER STREAM

w H. Suksdorf. the well-known mining man of Nome. associated with a group of Spokane men. has organized the Goldsmith Dredging Company and will install a dredge on Solomon river, in the Nome dis trict. this coming summer. The com pany holds 21 claims on this big gold bearing stream. A dredge machine, of the straight Hume" type. has been ordered from San Francisco firm. It will he powered with Diesel engines.
 Mir. Suksdorf, who was in Seattle recently. told something of the pro- posed operations of the company.
 "The Goldsmith Dredging Com pany holds large area of some of the choicest dredging ground on Solomon river. Efforts have been made for number of years past by number of Solomon river dredg- ing concerns to acquire and amalga- mate the various parcels of ground involved so as to effect one compact operation. These efforts were fruit less of results. and 1t remained for our company to finally induce the owners of adjoining small areas to sell their holdings and thus permit of consolidating the ground as one compact whole so as to permit of profitable longtime operations.
 Approximate yardage available is 4,0OO,O00 yards. carrying an average of 60 cents gold per yard There is a possibility of further pro- longing the life of our enterprise through acquisition of 8 number of other adjoining claims. but time has not been available for carefully drilling and testing of these areas. In the event of future investigation demonstrating their value to the company, 1t is quite likely they will be acquired, in which event profit able life of the enterprise will be materially heightened.
 "The Solomon river section is one of the most prolific gold producing areas of the Nome district. practic- ally all production being by dredg- ing. We know of no record of fail ure of any dredging enterprise un- dertaken in this section of the Nome district"
