100000 GONE IN A FLASH.
KIOndike Telegraph Line Which Was
Wrecked by the Atlantic Cable.

Long ago-in 1S63-64-there was no
cable between Europe and America.
Transatlantic news-even during the
exciting episodes of the civil war-was
always about a fortnight old, says the
London Mail. The attempt to make a
cable connection had ended disastrous
ly, and in this juncture OF affairs was or
ganized gigantic enterprise, looking
to the connection of the United States
with Europe via Klondike and Behring
sea. Most electricians and telegraph
experts had made up their minds that
40 miles-which was the distance across
the strait-represente the longest a
submarine cable could be successfully
worked.
A company was formed, and what
was known in those days as Russian
extension stock went off at premium
of 60 per cent. In 1868 the line between
New Westminster and the Yukon river
was surveyed, found to be practicable,
and traversed completely the present
Klondike region.
The line was expected to be finished
in 1867. Even the tariff for messages
was fixed at 6 5 (S25) per message. The
receipts were estimated to yield about
$4,000, 900 per annum. The line was
actually constructed from New West
minister along the present route of the
Canadian Pacific railway to Ashcroft,
where it was continued north toward
Behring sea to Fort Stager, 300 or 400
miles beyond Quesnelle. This line is
at this present moment in operation in
q portion of the Cariboo country
Then, in tn. midst of the whole bust
ness, after three years of hard work.
came like a thunderclap the news that
the Atlantic cable was success. Three
million dollars had been expended, yet
the next day Russian extension stock
was not worth the printers ink on it's
surface.
