142 - L Nov. 15; ed: 2/3 - An interesting report is given of the progress
thus far made in the manufacture of the Atlantic cable and the arrange- .
ments necessary to insure success in the attempt to connect Europe and
America by telegraph. Eight hundred miles of the copper conductor with
four layers of gutta percha have been completed. Six hundred tons of
nomogeneous iron and large stocks of manilla yarn, used to wrap iron wire,
is to be used in its construction.
"The projectors of this great enterprise are confident, that so far as
human power can determine, it will be entirely successful, and there are
none, either in this country, or in Europe, who will not hope that this
expectation be realized." - (6)
