Just a thought here. Could it be that the company contracted to build the tunnel started by laying their own cables over the top of the mountain so they could communicate with each other regarding matters relating to the digging. Company in question, I don`t know, a seperate company to the DSP&P. Therefore supplying their own sourced equipment? Maybe Gould was behind that too? That would be known.
I think the agreement was drawn up in 1879 because I read it only last night. That was the time frame that Gould had "invested into the DSP by providing stock and equipment but it is not known in what form this took place," No doubt misquoting Mr Poor but the gist is there.
