Atlantic & Pacific States Telegraph Lines built in California using Brooks insulators

THE TELEGRAPH.

Telegraph Extension in California.

THE Atlantic and Pacific States Telegraph Company, of California, are now building a line from San Francisco eastward to Virginia City, via San Jose and Stockton, Cal., which will be extended eastward, via Salt Lake City, until a connection is made with some of the opposition companies, which are extending west of Chicago. The work is in charge of J. M. HUBBARD, of San Francisco. The line is being constructed in a very superior manner, with the Brooks Paraffine Insulator. Experiments are being made with a novel system of transmission, which has been proposed for the use of this company by STEPHEN D. FIELD, a young man who has displayed marked ability as an electrician and inventor, during his connection with various Telegraphic enterprises in the Pacific States. In the event of the success of the experiments now in progress, under the direction of Mr. FIELD, we hope to be able to present our readers with full particulars.
