COMPANY.
These Bonds are the duly authorized and accredit-
ed obligations of of the most responsible Corpo-
ratons OF the American Continent, and are secured
by the absolute first lien upon the valuable grants,
franchise, railroad equipment business etc. of the
best portion of the Great
National Pacific Railroad Line,
extending eastwardly from the navigabe waters of
lie Pacific Coast to the lines now rapidly building
from the Eastern States
They bear Six per cent. interest per annum, in
gold, and both Principal and Interest are
expressly made s. payable in United States
Gold COin.o
The semi-annual Coupons payable, Ju LIST
and January lst in New York City.
The purchaser is charged the accrued in rom
the date of the last paid Coupon Currency rate
only.
This issue of Bonds constitutes one of the largest
and most popular Corporate Loans of the
country, and therefore will be constantly dealt in.
The greater portion of the Loan is now in the
hands of steady investors and it is probable that
before many months, when the Road is completed
and the Loan closed, the Bonds will be eagerly
sought for at the highest rates.
They are issued only the work progresses, and
to the same extent only as the U. s. Subsidy Bonds
granted by the government to the Pacific Railroad
Companies.
Nearly five hundred miles of the Road are
now built and the grading is well advanced on two
hundred and fifty miles additional. So
The THROUGH LINE ACROSS THE CONTINENT
will be completed by the middle of next year, when
the Overland travel will be very large.
The local business alone, upon the completed por-
tion is so heavy, and advantageous that the gross
earnings average more than a quarter of a
million of gold per month, of which So per
cent. only is required for operating expenses.
The net profit upon the Company's business on
the completed portion, is about double the amount
of annual interest liabilities to be assumed thereup-
on, and will yield SURPLUS OF NEARLY MILL
ton IN GOLD alter expenses and interest are paid
even ifthe through connection were not made.
The best lands, the richest mines, together with
the largest settlement and nearest markets. lie along
this portion of the Pacific Railroad and the future
of huSiu ihorao will ha
ally great .. en q

property are among the promising and reliable Sc
curities offered. No better Bonds can be made,
