requisites to vigorously prosecute the cOntem-

sAgAeity, resolution and the confidence of the

and have all been successful in their business
undertakings. They are In earnest, knOw

or this we feel assured, aud we also feel as
sured that the work will be speedily COM
meUced, prosecuted vigorously and carried
through successfully. We all see not only the
importance but absolute necessity Of building

AeriOusly detrimental 10 the interests Of our
VAriviDg city. Rival routes would take AdVan-
tage Of our negligence, aud get capitalists in

will prove . profitable investment, that capital
lists will subscribe the necessary stock, and that
not only the city OF Placerville but the county
Of Fl Dorado will be greatly benefited BY
having railroad communication with the naEi-
gable waters Of the State. II will secure 70 %
almost the entire trade aud travel Of the rich
and growing territory East Of us. and ultimely
bring the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad through

tending, wsrth making sacrifices for. II neces-
cary and We therefore hope and expect that
tho People Of 81 Dorado, outside Of PLscerville,
will subscribe not q small amount OF stock.
