One telephone line is available to every 167 square feet of renting area in the new Empire State Building in New York City. In recent years there has been considerable telephone deve¥opment in London, England, with the result that London now has one telephone for every eight persons.: One direct telephone circuit has proved insufficient to care for the calls between Nashville, Tenn., and New York City, and recently a second direct circuit has been installed. All of the points in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay having telephone connections with Buenos ' Aires are now within reach of Bell System telephones. Previously the service was limited to Argentina, nine cities of Chile, and the city of Montevideo, Uruguay. CLASSIFIED ADS WANTED— “Diary of 49er’’ by Can. field. Box H Nevada City Nugget.

Nov. 13—A14inch streak of high grade gold ore, yielding assays as high as $1,400, a _ton, has been exposed in the exploration of a three and a half foot body of milling ore on the 200-foot level of the 250-foot incline shaft on the Boytano mine, 30 miles southwest of Jamestown, in the extreme southwestern section of Tuolumne County, according to Manager Fred F. Lautenschlager:_/. -The property is being operated by the Calaska Gold Mining Company, of which F. Schultz of Fairbanks, Alaska, is president. Exclusive of-the high grade rock, the yield of the orebody, which has been proved for a length of abour 100 feet on the 100 and 200-foot levels, has averaged, it is asserted $12.50 a ton in gold on the plates of the 10-stamp mill on the property, , which has been operating only part time due to shortage of water. It is the intention of the management, it is stated, to continue the shaft to a greater depth to further develop the . orebody and in the hope of obtaining an increased volume of water for milling purposes.
