Excerpt from The Electrical World and Engineer, Vol. 41: A Weekly Review of Current Progress in Electricity and Its Practical Applications; From January 3 to June 27, 1903

During a reception at the Palace Hotel in honor Of Clarence H. Mackay and others of the management of the Commercial Cable Company, Governor Gage represented the State, and Mayor Schmitz was present on behalf of the municipality. Mr. G. G. Ward said: The length of this cable will be three and one-half times greater than any Atlantic cable. When this shall be completed our system will reach from England and France to China, three - fourths of the dis tance around the globe, and I venture to predict that we shall be able to beat 'puck's' prophecy of girdling the earth in forty minutes by sending a message from San Francisco to San Francisco in one fourth of that time. Meantime the Silvertown, which started with about miles of cable, laying it across an ocean nearly three miles deep, has proceeded with her task, completing the first great section to Honolulu.
