Over S5,250,000 invested in
the Ocean Shorer railway. S3,000,-
900 by its owners. Earnings s
times in excess of bond in
tereSt.

The stock holders OF the Ocean Shore
have expended S3.oO0.OO0 OF their own
money in this great work, and in addition
S2.250000 Of the money received from the
sale OF bonds. This money has been spent in
telligently, economically and Tor substantial
and permanent work and equipment. The
real estate for terminals and rights OF way IN
Santa Cruz and San Francisco cost over
100000 and has increased in value fully
25 per cent since the Ocean Shore bought it.
This real property is OF inestimable value.
and will constantly increase in value. for its
location in both cities is advantageous. No
other railroad in either Santa Cruz or San
Francisco has such available property for
depot sites. or so accessible for the con-
venence OF patrons, both from freight and
passenger standpoint.
Many railroad experts and engineers OF
national reputation have carefully figured
the resources Of the country between San
Francisco and Santa Cruz. and these men
know what they are talking about and they
have backed up their estimates with figures
based on facts and conservatively estimate
the earnings OF the Ocean Shore at over
100000 a year. Any man can go over
these figures and readily and easily satisfy
himself that the Ocean Shore will earn
eight times more than enough money TO pay
the interest on its bonds.

Ocean Shore railway has not

present business. $4,000
worth of freight arrangements
already.

Trains are running every day over both
ends OF the Ocean Shore and eight locomo-
tives and nearly 60 cars are operated. carry
ing freight and passengers. The Sunday
crowds who visit the beaches below San
Francisco number between 1,500 and 1000
people. and are limited simply because the
Ocean Shore has not enough cars to accom-
Inodate all who desire to take this scenic
trip. Every Sunday between 500 and 200
people are turned back for want OF ac-
commodation.
Freight arrangements amounting 70 over
$4,000 year in revenue for the Ocean
Shore have been made with two concerns.
Twenty-Five other industries offering large
tonnage desire spur tracks and freight ar
rangements as soon as possible.
