4~a'rOad Rum"Rs ana purchases.
SAN FRANCISCO, 90. 19h.-The
Bulletin pu bliehes editoIi.lly re-
D Jrt that the South Pacific Coast
railroad has been purchased by
the Central Pacific. 1t says: We
do not vouch for the correctness of
the rumor, but it comes from two
or three sources, one of which is
rarely at fault. 1t is a fact that
the Central Pacific has recently
purchased the Santa Cruz and the
Watsonville and Monterey and
Salinas narrow gauge roads. The
former has been already converted
into broad gauge aud the latter
soon will be. 1t is understood that
these purchases are for the purpose
of heading off Jay Gould In his eff
forts to obtain terminus at San
Francisco.
The graders on the California
and Nevada Railroad have advanc.
ed on the Oakland end several
miles beyond that city. Another
rumor which appears to have a
basis of fact is that the Oregon and
California road and the Sacrament
to Valley Railroad, the former I'M
der control Of Willard, and the lat
ter controlled by the Central Paci-
&c, will form junction somewhere
near the Oregon State line, form
ing a complete line from San Fran.
