Atlantic and Pacific and Franklin Telegraph Companies, Brooks mentioned

Progress of the New Lines of the Atlantic and

Pacific Telegraph Company.

THE Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Company has recently constructed a new line from Springfield to Athol, Mass., a distance of about sixty miles, and it is now in operation.

The new line of this company from Chicago to Omaha is making very good progress, and will be completed within the contracted time. This work is being done under the personal direction and supervision of Mr. GEO. H. BLISS, of Chicago. BROOKS insulators are used, as has already been stated in THE TELEGRAPHER under a contract with Mr. BROOKS to maintain the capacity of the line in the most unfavorable weather at a high standard.

The Atlantic and Pacific Company is exhibiting much energy and enterprise in extending and increasing its facilities, even under the existing dullness and business depression.
