United States Government,

Their line will extend from Sacramento
California, across the Sierra Nevadas to
the California State Line, traversing the
richest and most populous section OF CAL
ifornia, and thence through the great min
ing regions ofthe Territories, to the vicin-
ity OF Salt Lake City.
It forms the sole Western link of the
only route to the Pacific which is adopted
by Congress and aided by the issue of Uni-
ted States Bonds.
Their road is already completed, eduip-
ped and running for "a miles from Sacra-
mento to within IL miles of the summit OF
the Sierras, and q large amount Of the
work of Grading, Tunnelling, &C., be-
yond that point has been accomplished.
The First Mortgage Bonds of this Com
pany afford unnsnal inducements of Safe
ty and Profit to Investors, for the follow
ing among other reasons, viz:
First The rate of interest is Six per
cent. in Gold payable serni-annually in,
the City Of New York. 44
Second. The Principal Is payable in.
Gold at maturity.
Third. The cost Of the Bonds, Ninety
| per Cent. less than that ofthe cheapest Six
Per Cent Gold Bearing Bonds Of the Gov
eminent.
Fourth. The United States Governs
ment provides nearly half the amount nec-
essary to build the entire road, and looks
4 manly 10 Small percentage Oh the future
traffic for repayment.
/ Fifth. Owing to this liberal provision,
accompanied with Extensive Grants OF
Public Lands by which the Government
fosters this great National enterprise, ita
success is rendered certain, and its finan-
cial stability is altogether independent OF
the contingencies which attend ordinary
Railroad enterprises.
Sixth. The Security Of its First Mort
gage Bonds Is Therefore ample, and their
4 character for safety and reliability is
eQualled only by that of the obligations Of
the Government itself.
Seven. Thenet earnings ofthecomple-
! ted portion are already largely in excess
/ Of the interest obligations watch the Com
pany will incur on twice the distance,
and are steadily increasing, rendering the
uninterrupted payment of the Interest alb
solutely certain.
Eighth. At the present rate Of Gold they
pay near8 81 Per Cent. per annum, on the
amount invested.
The Bonds are issued in denominations
of 81, 900 with semi-annual Gold Coupons
attached, payable in New York, and are
