I am instructed to transmit to you the accompanying List of Offices belonging to the " Montreal Telegraph Company," at present in operation in the Dominion of Canada and the United States, for your own use, and to enable you to furnish inform- ation to parties requiring to Telegraph to any of the Company's Offices. I am. Your most obedient servant, JAMES DAKERS, Secretary, MONTREAL TELEGRAPH COMPANY. HEAD OFFICE. MONTREAL. CAPITAL, - - - - ^1,000,000. HUGH ALLAN, Fxisidknt; SIR W. £. LOGAN, GEORGE W. CAMPBELL, M.D., PETER REDPATH anb ANDREW ALLAN, Directors } JAMES DAICERS, Secretary. THIS COMPANY was organized in January 1847, with a capital of $00,000. The line extended from Toronto to Quebec, a distance of 540 miles ; nine ofi9ces were opened and thirty-five persons employed. The number of messages transmitted during the first year was 33,000. Since then the Company has, year by year, continued to extend its lines, not only m the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec, where nearly every village of any importance has been afforded ample telegraphic facilities, but also through the Province of New Brunswick, and in the States of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York and Michigan, in which 110 offices are owned by this G4i|pipany. The statistics up to 30th Novfember, 1870, shew that the Company possesses 7,800 miles of poles, 12,147 miles of wire, 640 offices, and 996 employees. Number of commercial meijsageB sent over the lines during the year 1870. was 1,060,000. Number of words transmitted over Atlantic cable 153,092. Number of words furnished to the press upwards of 8,000,000. To give an idea of the facilities that the Company has at its command it is only necessary to mention that during the last Parliamentary Session it was customaiT to transmit night after night, from its office at Ottawa 20.000 to 50,000 words to the press, and on the night of 17th Feoruary, as many as 67,251 words were transmitted. The lines of the Company begin at Sackville, N. B., and extend to Sarnia, at the outflow of Lake Huron. They also run from the United States border to the Greorgian Bny and the most northern towns of Canada. The Company has wires along all the Railways in the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec, and as soon as the Intercolonial Railway is built their wires will be extended over the whole of that road. In transmitting cable despatches they are sent direct to Sackville, N.B., the present terminus of the Company's lines, over a circuit of 750 miles. The Company has likewise branches from Montreal working direct through 'its connections to the following cities in the United States : Portland, Maine,.. .300 miles. Boston, Mass., 350 " New York, N. Y.,...450 " OswKOO, N. Y., 300 miles. Botpalo, N. Y., 450 " Detroit, Mich. 650 " During the year 1870, the Company erected 821 miles of poles, strung up 1920 miles of wire, and opened 86 new stations. In 1871 they will string an additional wire of 450 miles from Montreal to Buffalo, and have agreed to build lines through the remote districts of Bonaventure and Gasp6, which will be of great service to the fishing interest in that neighbourhood, as well as to the shipping entering the St Lawrence.
