This great enterprise IS approaching compile

two (2) pow eriul companies: the Union Pa

west, and the Central Pacific Railroad. begin
ming at SACRAMENTO, and building east, until
the two roads sh II meet. Less than two hun
dreI and fifty miles remain to be built. The
greater part OF the interval is now graded, and
it is reasonably expected that the through
connection between San Francisco and Few
York viii be completed by July |.
As the amount of Government aid given to
each is dependent upon the length of road each

great efforts to secure the construction and
control of what, when completed, will be one
and the only grand Railroad Line connecting
the Atlantic and Pacific o.s;s.
One Hundred and Ten Million Dollars (SII0-
50,0O0,) in money have already been expend
ed by the two powerful companies engaged in
this great enterprise, and they will speedily
complete the portion yet to be built. w hen
