No 'one track could have been traveled long, as the ground was so soft that the wheels soon sank to the hubs. Messrs. Ackley & Morrison established a tri-weekly stage to San Francisco, in April, 1850, making the trip in nine hours. In the spring of 1850, John W. Whistman put on a stage line to San Jose; the price of fare was thirty- two AND SURROUNDINGS. 237 dollars, or, as the expression then was, two ounces; shortly before, by way of Alviso, it was thirty-five dollars. In September of that ye...ar, Hall and Crandall purchased the line of Whistman. That road in places was so muddy that passengers never failed to have a little pedestrian exercise. The road to Santa Clara, through the Alameda, was impassable for about four months in the year. A circuit of five or six miles was made to reach that town during the wet season. Santa Clara street, between First and Market, was very muddy ; and, at the corner of Market and Santa Clara, there existed a pond of water, called the " Hoppe Pond, " from the fact that it was in front of his house.
