7-3O GOLD LOAN
OF THE
Northern Pacific r. r,
RAPID PROGRESS OF THEtW0RK.

The building of the Northern Pacific Railroad
(begun July iast) is being pushed forward with
great energy from both extremifies OF the line
Several thousand men are employed in Minnesota
and on the Pacific coast. The grade is nearly
completed 208 miles westward from Lake Supe-
rior; trains are running over 100 miles of finished
road, and tracklaying is rapidly progressing toward
the eastern border of Dakota. Including its pur-
chase OF the St Paul 4 Pacific Road the Northern
Pacific Company now has Ala miles of completed
road and by September next this Will be increased
to at least $50.
now selling, and unhestatngly recommend, as a
Profitable and perfectly safe investment, the First
Mortgage Land Grant Gold Bonds of the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company. They have 30 years
TO run, bear Seven and Three-Tenths per cent gold
interest (more than per cent currency and are
secured by first and only mortgage on the entire
road and its equipments, and also, as fast as the
road is completed, on
$4,000 ACRES OF LAND to every mile of track
or 500 Acres for cash 81 600 Bond. They
empt from U. S. Tax; Principal and Interest
payable in Gold; Denominations; Coupons, 800
TO $1,000; Registered, 500 to $4,000.
LANDS FOR BONDS. Northern Pacific 1905
are at all times receivable at ten per cent. above
par, in exchange for the Company Lands at their
lowest cash price. This renders them practically
interest baaring land warrants.
SINKING FUND. The proceeds of all sales of
Lands are required to be devoted to the repurchase
and cancellation of the First Mortgage Bonds of
the Company. The Land Grant OF the Road ex
ceeds Fifty Million Acres. This immense Sink ng
Fund will undoubtedly cancel the principal of the
Company's bonded debt before it falls due With
their ample security and high rate OF interest there
is no investment accessible to the people, which Is
more profitable or safe.
EXCHANGING U. S. FIVE.TWENTIES. The
success of the New Government 5 per cent. Loan
viii compel the early surrender of United States
per cents. Many holders of Five-Twenties are now
exchanging them for Northern Pacific Seven-1hir-
ties, thus realizing handsome profit, and greatly
increasing their yearly income.
OTHER SECURITlES.-All marketable Stocks
and Bonds will be received at their highest current
price in exchange for Norther Pacific Seven hir
ties. Express charges on money or Bonds received
and on Seven-Thrties sent in return, will be paid
by the Financial Agents. Full information maps

FIRST MORTGAGE
I PER CENT. GOLD BONDS,
on A COMPLETED ROAD.
Free of U. s. Tax.
Burlington. Cedar Rapids and
Minnesota Railway.

The completion of this Road has given to these
Bonds an established character equal to any mort
gage issue dealt in at the Stock Exchange. We are
prepared to buy and sell them at any time, at our
Banking House, at market price, thus placing them
on the same basis, for temporary or permanent in
vestment, with Governments or any other security.
These bonds are a drst and only mortgage on a
railroad that has cost double the amount of the is
sue, and which commands, without competition, all
the traffic of Northern Iowa and Southern Mime
sota-shOrtenng the distance from st. Paul to
Chicago 45 miles, and to st. Louis more than ninety
miles.
The net earnings are already largely in excess of
interest the bonds, and doubt exists that they
will more than double within the ensuing year.
A contract has been secured with the Chicago
Burlington Il Quincy r. r. Company, obligating
the latter to invest 50 per cent OF gross earnings
derived from traffic with the Burlington, Cedar
Rapids 4 Minnesota Road in the bonds of this Com
pany. This arrangement is strong guarantee of
the Bonds, and establishes large sinking fund for
their redemption.
The cOnvertability privilege in these bonds en-
ables them to be exchanged for stock at par at
time. This secures to the holder, at his option,
share in any excess of earnings over the interest
obligation.
An exchange of Government securities for these
bonds returns "a per cent. interest instead of per
cent, which is all that Governments pay at present
price, besides leaving an immediate gain of about
20 per cent. in price for re-investment.
All marketable securities taken in exchange free
of commission and express charges.
