Means of the Company.

Estimating the distance to be built by the Union
Pacific to be I,565 miles, the United States Gov
eminent issues its Six per cent. Thrifty year bonds
to the Company the road is finished at the
erage rate of about SIS, ESQ per mile, amounting
to 81, 2Os, 900.
The Company is also permitted to issue its own
First Mortgage Bonds to an equal amount, and at
the same time, which by special Act of Congress
are made First Mortgage on the entire line, the
bonds of the United States being subordinate to
them.
The Government makes a donation Of IL, 500
of land to the mile, amounting to &c, 032 900
acres, estimated to be worth $50, 200, 600, making
the total resources, exclusive of the capital, $lls
4l6, 900 but the full value of the lands cannot
now be realized.
The authorized Capital Stock of the Company
is one hundred million dollars, of which FIVE mil
lions have already been paid in, and of which it
is not supposed that more than twenty-five mil
lions at most will be required.
The cost of the road is estimated by competent
engineers to be about one hundred million dollars
exclusive of equipment.

Prospects for Business.

The railroad connection between Omaha and
the East is now complete, and the earnings of the
Union Pacific on the sections already finished for
the first two weeks in May were $4,000. These
sectional earnings as the road progresses will
much more than pay the interest on the Compa-
ny's bonds, and the through business over the n
ly line of railroad between the Atlantic and Pa
cific must be immense.

Value and Security of the Bonds.

The Company respectfully submit, that the
above statement of facts fully demonstrates the
security of their Bonds, and additional proof
they would suggest that the Bonds now offered
are less shan ten million dollars on SIT miles of
road. on which over twenty million dollars have
already been expended on $50 miles of this
road the cars are now running. and the remaining
lS7 miles are nearly completed. -
At the present rate of premium on gold these
bonds pay annual interest on the present cost
