THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD.
ORES 42j MILES.
A few weeks since we noticed the opening of the
Union Pacific Railroad to Juesburg 377 miles
west of Omaha, and sometime this week we expect
to report its completion to Crow Creek point As
miles further west, making a total of l25 miles
Fins miles Of track in addition are graded ready
for the iron, and there is no doubt of the compile
ton of the road to the base OF the Rocky Noun.
tains early in the fall The Company areconfdeut
that the whole line to the Pacific will be open for
business in 1870. The Indians have annoyed the
surveying parties and he-cuuers, who are many
hundred miles in advance of the work; but they
have wholesome fear OF the population that a rail-
road carries with it, and all trains run without in
terruption
The business Of the Company has been most flat
tcring. The earnings Of the quarter ending August
LIST, were about 100000; but as the report for the
last week in July has not been received, the exact
fraction cannot be given These earnings accrued
from operating an average of not more than $50
miles OF road, and after deduotng operating ex-
peuses the balance is far in OF the interest
obligations of the Company the amount Of bonds
they can issue ON that distance. II should be re-
mcmbered that this result is from a way business
alone, through new country, and is not to be cone
pared with the vast MroVgh business that must fol
low the opening Of the whole line to the Pacific.
The of the esterp ne TO be thorough
ly assured and We can see no reason why the First
Mortgage Bonds are not entitled to rank among the
best securities. The daily sales are now SO large
that the Company already entertain the idea Of adj
yancinp the price
