CARSON VALLEY TELEGRAPH.—The Placerville Index, of June 1st, says, in relation to this enterprise:
We learn from one of the Carson Valley Telegraph Company, that F. A. Bee has been to Sacramento and San Francisco, for the purpose of getting material for the line, and to dispose of the stock which had been set apart for Sacramentans. Our informant says that Mr. Bee was entirely successful in both respects. He procured at the Bay nearly all the requisites for the work, and at Sacramento disposed of the stock in short order. We are glad to learn that our Sacramento friends, with their characteristic enterprise, are taking a lively interest in the matter. Nothing now can prevent this first giant stride for the East from being made. The materials are nearly all secured, and $5,000 worth of stock already taken.
We met with Mr. Bee, in this city, and understood from him that his success in the matter was far beyond his anticipations.
