The Central Pacific Railroad Company offer for
sale their FIRST MORTGAGE THIRTY-YEAR SIN
PER CENT, GOLD BONDS, and submit to investors
the following, among other obvious considerations
and invite the comparison with the merits and excel
Iences OF any class Of corporate securities.
!. These bonds are based upon the most vital and
valuable part of the Grand National Pacific Rail-
road to become the main channel Of con1rnuni-
cation on the continent.
ii. The local settlement and the business there
rom, Is remarkably large and profitable, and must
constantly increase.
Ill The hardest part of the road is now built and
the remainder will be rapidly carried forward over
the Salt Lake Plains.
". The greater part Of the means necessary to
build the road is provided by the United States gov
eminent upon a subordinate lien.
V. The State and chief cities Of California have con-
trbnted upward Of 100000 to the enterprise with
out lien.
VI The grant Of land is destined. Mt an early dav
TO prove Of far greater market value than the total
the First Mortgage Bonds issued upon the road and
equipments.
VII. This road lies altogether among the gold and
SILVER producing regions and its revenues are re
ceived in coin.
VII. The management of the Company has been
distinguished for prudence and economy; and the
surplus earnings, after payment Of expenses and in
terest, are devoted to construction purposes.
IX The interest liabilities Of the Company upon
the portion now in operation less than a third
the net earnings.
Y. Both principal and interest arc PAYABLE in COIN
under special provisions Of both National and STATE
enactment
The bonds are in sums Of 81 900 each. with semi
annual gold coupons attached, PAYABLE in January
and July and are offered for sale at 80 per cent Of
their par value and accrued interest from Jan.

Nine per cent upon the Investment.
These bonds bid fair to attain the most prominent
position among the non-spoculatiye investments Of
the country land will be actively dealt in at the
money ccnters of Europe.
Holders Of Government Securities have an opportu-
nifty Of exchanging them for Central Pacific Bonds
bearing an equal rate Of interest with the PRINCIPAL
abundanty secured, and Of realizing a profit of len
to fifteen per cent in addition.
