The Company would state that their work con-
tinues to he pushed forward with great rapidly,
~ 4a5 MILES WEST FROM OMAHA
ARE NOW IN OPERATION,
and stocked with locomotives cars, and all the ap
purtenances Of first class road.
The amount already paid in by stockholders of
the Company is S.. 100000
The aid received from the &. s. Government in
constructing this portion of AS miles is

2. :. Six per cent. Currency Interest
Bonds. which are q second lien, at the
rate of $4,000 to the mile amounting,
for 425 miles. to- So, 800 900
The amount of the Company's own First
Mortgage Bonds on 425 miles is...... So, 500 600
1t will be seen that, e1clnSits of the land
grant, the First Mortgage Bonds represent only
about third of the value of the property on
which they secured. The Company is also re-
strained by it's charter from issuing its bonds ex
cept as the work progresses, and to the same
anolfat on the rarious sections are issued By
the Gorernnlsnt. The mortgage which
cures the bondholders is made to Hon. E. D. Nor
gan, T. S. Senator from New York, and Hon. Cakes
Ames. Member of the u s. House of Representa-
tives from Massachusetts,, as Trustees, who alone
can issue the bonds to the Company, and who are
responsible for their issue in strict accordance with
the terms of the law.
A statement of the earnings for the last quarter
will be published i'll detail early day; but the
accounts already sutfi GENTLY balanced to show
that the net amount is much greater than the gold
interest on the bonds that can be issued on the
length of road operated. 1t should be remembered
that these earnings are only upon aray business
in new and undevelOped country, and are no index
of the vast traffic that must follow the completion
Of the whole line to the Pacific in 1870. These facts
are only intended to show that these Bonds
strictly of the safest well as one of the most
profitable, securities, and fully entitled to the
confidence of the public. The Company make no
appeal to the public to purchase its Bonds, as the
their wants.
Many parties are taking advantage of the present
high price of Government stocks to exchange for
these bonds, which are over Is per cent. cheaper,
and, at the current rate of premium on gold,
pay
OVER NINE PER CENT INTEREST.
