Underground wireless to Europe via deep shafts planned
Father Joseph Murgas of Wilkes Barre Pennsylvania expects to send wireless messages to Europe within a month or two using an underground system now in practical operation. He has built underground stations in Wilkes Barre and Scranton and will scale up experiments over longer distances. He estimates the project will cost $22,000 with shafts about 3,000 feet deep and reinforced to prevent dampness. The Wilkes Barre and Scranton shafts reach 300 feet, and the distance is eighteen miles.
