Progress of the Union Pacific Railroad
from Omaha.

from Omaha.
The United States Commissioners have officially
advised the Secretary Of the Interior that they
have examined the eighth section Of this road,
beginning at the 305th and ending at the 3loIh
nile-post and have found it ready for service,
and fully equipped with the necessary locomo-
tives, cars, etc. This great road is being pushed
forward with a degree Of energy that must III
sure it's early completion. General Sherman
SAYS that il is So useful and necessary TO the
government that il could well afford 10 build it
on its own sccount, and save money from tbs
diminished cost Of transporting public stores
In fact, the government practically guarantees
the construction Of the road by making the
bonds it issues for that purpose a second mort
gage, and permitting the Company to make It's
own bends a first mortgage. Although $40
miles on the Union Pacific are row ready FOR the
cars, but 800 miles we're in use during May,
and the earnings Of this portion Of the line du-
ring that month are officially reported at SOL
80. Deducting operating expenses, this leaves
a sum Of more than four ffmCs the interest on
the Company's bonds that can be issued On that
length Of road. There seems 10 be no doubt,
now, Of the early completion Of the great line
to the Pacific. Ten thousand men are cutting
their way eastward from the California end and
over and through the Sierra NevGdas and one
section Of the eastern end Is hardly done before
the government commissioners are called upon
to examine and accept another ; snd what is
more land better for the stockholders and bond
/ holder. the net earnings Of both ends are sli-
fcient ~ pay the interest on their bonds several
times over. The capitalists who have already
| paid their millions for the stock already see a
| profitable return, and We can see no reason why
| the First Mortgage Bonds, advertised in another
column, are not one Of the safest as well as
most profitable investment OF the day. These
bonds have just been offered to the public. but
the daily subscriptions are already large.
