First Mortgage Bends


OF the Company pay per cent. Gold Interest
free of Government tax, and are issued for the
very small amount of $4,000 per mile. For
the present, the uusold portion are offered at
95 and accrued interest. The attention of in
vestors is invited to the fact that the road is
now nearly finished, and that the Security is
therefore entitled to high rank.
In our opinion, no class of investments has
been found so uniformly safe and profitable as
