Wireless Telegraphy Plant

Tesla's First Station Will Be Built at Wardenclyffe, L. I.

PORT JEFFERSON, L. I., Aug. 6. — The first station of Nikola Tesla's wireless telegraph system will be built at Wardenclyffe, nine miles east of this place. The purchase of 200 sores of land on the shore of Long Island Bound has just been completed. The work of putting up the necessary buildings will begin in a short time. The main building is to be 100 feet square and it will be occupied by an electric plant of 350 horsepower. The estimated cost of this part of the plant will be nearly $150,000. The Wardenclyffe station will be the main one of the system, and it is stated that Mr. Tesla expects to be able to communicate with all countries of the world from that point.
