Associated Press Dispatches
SAN FRANCISCO, April 13.-The pub
lished statement this morning that a
project was well under way in this city
for building railroad from San Fran
cisco to Salt Lake City created much
talk on the street today. Thirty wealthy
persons are interested, and have de-
clared that the matter will not be al
lowed to languish. The names of the
people behind this formidable venture
are given as Alvinza Hayward, w. S.
Hobart, James G. Fair, James Phelan,
E. L. G. Steele, A. S. Halli-
die, Joseph Donohue, the Parrott
estate, j. B. Stetson, Ed. F. Preston,
Mrs. Annie Donahue. Daniel Meyer,
Robert Walter, the Lavega estate, VIM.
Babcock, j. l.. Flood, H. P. Sonntag,
Mr.. Cleveland of Nevada and several
others.
As evidence that the enterdrise is
genuine one, may be cited the fact that
$4,000, 900 has actually been subscribed,
and 25 per cent of the subscription was
last Thursday paid into local bank in
cash. The lowest subscription was for
$4,000. The projectors did not
agree to put up 100000 in gold
coin, but there will be no lack
of ready money with which
to carry on the preliminaries. It is not
the intention to sell any of the stock
whatever; about $4,000, 900 in bonds
will be raised and there never has been
any fear that there will be any trouble
in placing these bonds, because the
assurance has already been given that
the total amount will be taken in this
city. One reason for putting up so
much cash is to make certain the placing
of the bonds at par.
An engineer has been engaged, and is
even now in the field, preparing data
for his preliminary report.
So much has been said about the Dom
ahue road some day passing into the
possession OF an eastern road, that in
quiry is made as to whether or not the
proposed line to Salt Lake will not absorb
the Donahue system. 1t is said that for
weeks an examination of the books of
the Donahue system has been in prog.
ress, in the interest of the persons con-
cerned in the Salt Lake proposition.
Hints have been dropped that the road
will come into San Francisco by the
ferry, which lends color to the belief that
Tiburon is to be the terminal.
1t is said that several eastern roads
have positively asserted that when it is
once established beyond doubt that the
proposed road across the Sierras will
actually be buils, they will Immediately
begin to extend their roads to Salt Lake
and will be there in time to meet the
San Francisco road. 1t is not denied
that the men who are put
ting their money into this ven-
ture have agreed not to sell
the road or to enter into any traffic
agreement with any competing line for
period of at least ten years from the
time the road is completed. 1t is claimed
that road can be built through Beck
worth pass at low cost, and such road
would also traverse country that from
the start would yield excellent local
traffic.
