Favors English as
Tongue for World
By Franr Lehnhoff, United Press
staff correspondent.
EERLIN, Aug. 20, by mail. Eng
lish is favored in Germany as the in
ternational language that it is admitted
will be almost a necessity for use in
world communication when wireless
telegraphy and wireless telephony have
been made thoroughly practical.
Besides difficulties of transmission of
long distance messages, most of which
have now been overcome by use of high
frequency stations, Graf Arco, Ger
many's wireless authority, in an inter
view with the United Press, declared
most trouble in complete interchange
of ideas in the future may be found in
the present use of so many languages.
"While I am an enthusiastic Esperan
tist," said Arco, "I believe a popular
vote would elect the English tongue
to be used generally in the transac
tion of business and transmission of
news, because it is now spoken by the
largest group of people on the globe.
"Naturally, there are many nations
that would raise objection to the use of
English as the world language on ac
count of the belief that the study of it
would kill their own nationality. Such
fears, however, are unfounded, because
in each land the mother tongue would
be taught, plus English for internation
al transactions.
Apropos of the beginning of work on
stations that will carry electric cur
rents by wireless between Germany and
Argentina, Graf Arco said:
"Wireless telegraphy has reached
a stage of development in which prev
ious difficulties encountered in long
distance transmission have now been
overcome. The greatest distance now
practical is an earth quadrant of 10,000
kilometers. The chief difficulty hither
to encountered was with the transmit
ting station, but high frequency ma
chines have been developed, so that
now this trouble no longer occurs.
"As a result, the proposed connection
with Argentine will be virtually per
fect. Germans and Argentinians have
collected practically all the necessary
capital, so that the erection of the over-j
sea apparatus could already De under-1
taken."
Graf Arco is optimistic as to the fut
ure of wireless telegraphy and also
wireless telephony particularly if the
nations will undertake a broadguage in
ternational regulation of the traffic so
to avoid transmission and receiving dif
ficulties arising from too many stations
sending in conflicting directions or at
improper times.
He pointed out that about 60,000
words can be transmitted daily by a j
wireless station, whereas with cables
there is a considerable delay from the
fact that, since the war, roundabout
routes must be followed.
He held that, with wireless telephony,
greater difficulties exist than with tele
graphy, but tests made daily at the big
Nauen station have proven that wire
telephone messages can be picked up
from all quarters of Europe.
j iauen is waiting an opportunity to
( demonstrate that conversations are
(possible with America, frittcen years
ago, Graf Arco, as an April Fool joke,
printed a supposed wireless telephone
speech between America and Germany.
Today, however, what was once
merely an April Fool joke is today
merely a question of need and of prof
itableness." he added. Incidentally, he
related how recently he had heard the
Dutch Indies distinctly through the
wireless phone.

Latest telegraphic news in the Appeal
BROKEN HILL
TO NEVADA MINING MEN:
Follow me into Broken Hills, Nevada's new silver mining prodigy. Do it now, TODAY.
I believe Broken Hills to be another Tonopah and to embrace all of the possibilities of Tonopah and
Goldfield combined.
Broken Hills is probably the biggest mining discovery which has been made in the battle-born state
since the birth of the Comstock.
The already proved high-grade ore zone of the Broken Hills district is fully two miles long and a mile
wide.
In one sector,surface trenches and shaft have proved a compact area, ONE THOUSAND FEET WIDE,
to be mineralized all the way. These trenches have not been run. on the strike of the ore occurrences but
ACEOSS them.
Think what this means and marvel
In the main Broken Hills property the "discovery" mine more than four hundred (400) tons of
ore, "high-graded" by two prospectors at shallow levels from a strontr vein, nine feet wide in places, have
averaged better than 130 ounces of silver per ton, as settled for in cash by the Western Ore Purchasing
Company. A late shipment of 30 tons averaged 233 ounces of silver per ton.
The Sulphide zone in the mine was reached at depth of 130 feet. In the north drift on the 150-foot level,
a sample ACEOSS NINE FEET of the vein, taken at two points, gave returns of $17.60 a ton and $24 a ton
in silver, respectively.
Nine feet of silver-sulphide ore averaging from $17.60 a ton to $24 a ton is a REAL mine in any man's
country.
Since these disclosures, the property, under aggressive development by the Broken Hills Silver Corpor
ation, has wrought one sensation after another.
At 12 feet below the 150-foot level in the main shaft, 2 feet of the vein along the hanging wall sec
tion all that was accessible the vein dipping out of the shaft there assayed $47.60 in silver a ton.
At a depth of 175 feet in the main shaft where the vein continued to dip out of the shaft a sample
across 2 feet of the exposed part of the hangingwall section of the vein, officially taken by A. P. Thomp
son, consulting geologist and engineer, gave returns of $110.84 per ton. The ore content is 89.60 ounces sil
ver and 11.80 per cent lead per ton. At a depth of 193 feet in the main shaft, the vein has just been
crosscut and is found to be NINE FEET WIDE.
Now, this bonanza vein has been proved over a horizontal length of fully 600 feet by shafts and other
underground workings, and for an additional 1,300 feet by surface trenches.
There are 25 miners now engaged in opening it up. Present plans call for 40 to 50 miners within the
next 30 days, in a concentrated effort to obtain depth in the main shaft and to prove the orebody at depth
on the strike of the vein, north and 60Uth.
Search the annals of Far Western Mining History and match the speculative possibilities of this ore
body, if you can.
According to the Engineering and Mining Journal of New York, F. C. Sehrader, of the United States
Geological Survay, who early in June examined the showing down to the 150-foot level, expressed the opin
ion that the indications at that depth were VERY FAVORABLE.
That's strong language for Mr. Sehrader to use in the early period of any mine's development.
Governor Emmet D. Boyle, who examined the mine about the same time, said over his own signature,
"It is THE BEST showing I have seen in any new territory in Nevada for many years." Nevada's Chief
Executive stands high as a mining engineer and is known to "lean backwards" in his conservatism.
Arthur Perry Thompson, famed as an engineer of the great United Verde Copper Company, and as a
geologist of the Anaconda Copper Mining Company, the Davis-Daly Copper Mining Company, the Utah
Apex Mining Company and others, stated last week officially as consulting engineer and geologist of the
Broken Hills Silver Corporation, AFTER the main shaft had reached A DEPTH OF 175 FEET, that he be
lived future developments "would be found to exceed anything yet claimed for the property."
Space does not permit iteration of the seores of enconiums which have come from the lips of experts
who have recently examined the property.
Now the main vein rich and strong as it is by no means tells the story of recent mine progress of the
Broken Hills Silver Corporation.
1 Five hundred feet to the EAST of the main vein, a rich cross fissure has been sunk on to a depth of 90
feet and drifted on for 200 feet. It earries high grade ore all the way, assaying from $50 per ton upward.
The ore is described by experts as the best showing of solid galena seen in years. The face of the east drift,
when assayed last week, gave a return of $321 per ton across ten inches. Future developments at depth in
this EASTERN section of the property are BIG WITH PROMISE.
About 5,000 feet SOUTHEAST of the main Broken Hills shaft and within 200 feet of the southermost
point of the Broken Hills group, there has been opened on an adjoining property at depth an orebody that
is reported on high authority to assay at several points in the shaft in the hundreds of dollars per ton.
Approximately a mile SOUTHWEST of the main Broken Hills shaft, a brecciated ore zone has been
opened by trenches on the surface, showing mineralization over the width of fully two mining claims a
distance of 1,200 feet. Ore assaying from $60 to $100 per ton has been obtained in "Prospecting" shafts
here.
What is the. answer? Is it not that a promising new bonanza silver camp has been born, the like of
which, at so early a period in its development, has no prototype in Nevada mining history?
