SOUTH PACIFIC COAST RAILROAD.
This railroad, one of the most important additions to Alameda's ad- vantages during the past year, was begun in April, 1875, when the line from Dumbarton Point, through Newark, to San Jose, a distance of twenty-one miles, was built, it being the intention to connect with San Francisco by steamer from Dumbarton Point. This idea, however, was abandoned, as being too slow, and in July of last year work was begun for the extension of the road from Newark to Alameda, and pushed for- ward with that vigor which enabled the company to informally open their line from Alameda to Los Gatos, a distance of forty-six miles, De- cember 3, 1877. Regular passenger trains began running over this dis- tance March 20, 1878. The ultimate southern terminus of the road is Santa Cruz, toward which the company is now facing, and in process of undertaking their most serious obstacle, a tunnel six thousand feet in length being required to pierce the mountain barrier which separates the road from the ocean at Santa Cruz. The contract for this tunnel has already been let to Messrs. Martin, Ballard & Ferguson for $280,000.
The road is constructed of the standard narrow guage, three feet ; is laid with rail weighing fifty pounds to the yard, manufactured by the

Pacific Rolling Mill, of San Francisco ; smooth and well ballasted, enabling the trains to readily attain a speed of thirty miles an hour with- out jolt or jar. The cost of the road is about $20,000 per mile. The shops of the company are located at Newark, where all of their passenger coaches, which compare favorably with those of the best Eastern manu- facture, are constructed. The company's ferry boat, the steamer New- ark, will, as soon as the wharf at Alameda Point is completed, make hourly, or, if necessary, half hourly, trips to the foot of Market Street, San Francisco.
The construction of this line has been marked by the complete absence of anything like subsidy subscriptions or external aid, has been built by the company purely as a commercial enterprise, and relying wholly upon the development it will create for their reward. This company owns a large tract of land at Newark, which, when the facilities for com- munication with San Francisco are completed, they expect will be rapidly taken up by parties desiring pleasant country residences, as it will then be within one hour's ride of the city.
The officers of the company are: A. E. Davis, President; B. B. Minor, Secretary; Thomas Carter, Superintendent; A. E. Davis, D. Cook, G. W. Kidd, Cary Peebles, J. W. Clark, and J. Barr Robertson, Directors. The offices of the company are located at rooms 20, 21, and 22, Nevada Block, San Francisco.
