their oicn money.
I'd. They have built their road through one of the
richest portions of the State where all the old roads
into Chicago are earning over $4,000 per mile per
annum, and paying large and regular dividends.
Sd. They have built the shortest road to the cele-
orated Block Coal Mines, whose products have a
large and increasing market in Chicago, in the manu-
facture of iron. as well as for domestic uses.
4th The road is done, well equipped, and earning
money and no argument is required, as in most new
enterprises, to show that the Company is able to
build it.
9th. The portion Of the road opened for business
last year, earned than so per cent above its in
terest Liabilities. -..s-
9Th. The amount Of the mortgage is very moderate,
being only about s1s,5oo per mile.
7th. While Railroad Bonds may be plenty, those
upon finished lines 80 certain to pay and for 80 small
an amount, are seldom in the market.
sth. That as the amount remaining unsold is only
sl,ols,oOo, parties who want them should make i'm
mediate application.
The Bonds for 81 900 each, have forty years to

the principal are as certain as any future financial
event can well be.
