New ORLEANS October 10, 1865
W. r. ADAMS, Esq, Editor True Delta:
DEAR SIR-The following figures showing
the condition of the Southern Pacific railroad company
of Texas:
The present capital stock, including all who
have complied with the requirements of
the policy of the old and the present com
pany, in New Orleans and elsewhere about $3.50 600 90
Twenty-one miles of road in running order
from the State line to Marshall, and ten
more on partof the road leased for 20
years from the Y. s. and 7. R. r. Co.,
east towards Shreveport
The entire amount for TRANSFORMATION of
freight from Sept. 6, 1864, to Sept. 6, 1865,
............-.. $3.50 %
For passengers ....................., 1884 10
The amount expended for construction,
salaries repairs, running expenses, etc.. 14,o75 IS
The receipts INTO the treasury same time 1895 81

Guiding loss on Confederate money and
securities Of some $l6,235 was. 1925 80
The value Of the road is considered by com
petent engineers to be, say upwards Of 100000 90
There is mortgage on the road to the State

And floating debt of, say............... $4,000 90
If the value of the road is equal 81 000 000 and
debt of 5000 900 against it, it will be that there
will be over and above the debt $500 600. This
the present stock debt some $500 00O making the
stock nearly two dollars for As the con
necon is made between Marshall and Shreveport the
present stock will then be fully equal to two to one.
