This Company is constructing under the pa
tronage of the United States Government The
Western end Of the
Great National Railway across the
Continent.
Their line will extend from Sacramento, Cal
ifornia, across the Sierra Nevadas to the Cali.
fornia State line, traversing the richest and
most pOpulOus section Of California, and thence
through the great mining regions Of the Ter
ritOries, to the vicinity of Salt Lake City.
1t forms theeeOe Western link of the only
route to the Pacific which is adopted by Con.
gress and aided by the Issue Of United States
Bonds.
Their road is already completed, equipped
and running for o. miles from Sacramento to
within u miles of the summit of the Sierras,
and large amount OF the work of Grading,
Tunnelling, &c, beyond that point has been
accomplished
The First Mortgage Bonds Of this Company
afford unusual inducements of safety and profit
to investors, for the following among other
reasons, viz:
1st The rate of interest is six per cent. in
Gold, payable semi-annually in the City of New
York.
ID. The Principal is payable:in Gold at ma
turity.
Sd. The cost of the Bonds, Ninety-hve per
ceHt. and accrued interest, is Ten per cent. less
than that of the cheapest Six per cent. Gold
Bearing Bonds Of the Government
4th. The United States Government provides
nearly half the amount necessary to build the
entire road, and looks mainly to q small per-
centage on the future traffic for repayment.
5th. Owing to this liberal provision, accom-
panied with extensive Grants of Public Lands
by which the Government fosters this great
national enterprise, its success is rendered GER
tain, and its financial stability is altogether in
dependent OF the contingencies which attend
ordinary Railroad enterprises.
9th. The Security of its First Mortgage Bonds
is therefore ample, and their character for safe
ty and reliability is equalled only by that of the
obligations Ofthe Government itself.
It'll. The net earnings of the completed por-
ton are already largely in excess of the inter
est obligations which the Company will incur
on twice the distance, and are steadily inCreas-
Ing, rendering the uninterrupted payment of
the interest absolutely certain.
Sth. at the present rate Of Gold they pay
nearly 81 per cent. per annum, on the amount
invented.
The Bonds are issued in denominations of
$1,000 with semi-annual Gold Coupons attached,
payable in New York, and are offered for the
present at rs per cent and accrued interest lin
