it will be necessary so enlist capital from
abroad. This would lave been accom-
rlished. and the road probably built eie
this, but for TIE bogus claims OF another
company 20 the right and title 70 the lands
Of this section. These claims having been
set up, capital has been intimidated from
this important enterprise. We are now
in condition to successfully refuie all
rival claims, and sustain the citizens OF
this section Of country in their honest
claims to Their lands; and there remains
no barrier 10 the successful operation Of
the plan, provided the citizens oi the above
named section Of country will cooperate
with US in the enterprise Our plan j.
briefly as follows:
\ company II seven gentlemen will form
and organize under the charter already OBJ
tanned. when stock VIII be taken until
sufficient amount shall have been secured
to entitle tie company to issue bills Of
credit. These bills Of credit viii be sold
T. capitalists as means Of RI sing money
with which to build the rad and put the
mines in operation. Liberal inducements
Will be offered b. the citizens Of this sec
ton. - that it will be clearly u tier IN
terest 10 afford the right Of way and take
stock. These pans have been somewhat
matured; seven gentlemen Of ability aud
influence have already agreed to organize
the company, and arrangements have been
made with most Of the citizens along the
line Of the proposed railroad. II il conf
IDENTIFY believed that all Others f the above
mentioned region II country will 50 clearly
perceive their interests ard advantages,
that they will speedily join in this impor-
taEt and berefc al scheme, Tor tie deye!-
opment Of their section Of the country, and
fur their absolute advantage in every con-
ce:vab'e way. shape, manner ard form.
Now. a. 10 my motives in this matter,
| would respectfully submit that while ]
am not without hope II some advantage
to myself, vet my main ard prominent
motive as must be clear b. all, is the pc
cuniary, and every otLer advantage # my
fellow-cit'zens ard friends. Whatever Of
profit NAV accrue 10 me must nee arly
be Of short duration, Tor, at my time Of
life. / cannot hore 10 remain upon the
sce-e q action long; but II ] could secure
this perpetual and rca'cu abe benefit n
nv fellow countrymen and friends, ! shall
have the grateful Consciousness that my
life has been q much ya,ue to others.
Oae word more T. the owners and &C
cupants Of tie lands along tie proposed
route. Another company claims your
lands-tie Guyand,tie Land Company
Now, If tie junior pateuts are q. d, You
