Two hundred and fifty miles of DSS&A, comprising the east-
ern portion which has been in operation during 1887, show gross
earnings for the past year at $1,500,000 and net of $660,000.
When the entire line, now practically completed, is in use, it
is estimated that the gross earnings will be $3,000,000 with a
net of $1,200,000, and further, that dividends from 4 to 6% will
be declared the first year. There is now $200,000 in the treas-
ury and the company has not yet decided whether to use it for pur-
chasing its land grant bonds or to expend the money in dividends.
