Deliverable and payable on or before
June 1st, 1895.
Price 105 aad interest yielding net
return of about Al per cent? subject to
| advance without notice.
These bonds are dated May lst, 1898,
| payable without option twenty years af
ter date, with interest at Al per cent
per annum, payable semi-annually on
the first days of May and November;
principal and interest payable in United
States gold coin of the present standard
| of weight and fineness.
Of the total authorized mortgage,
| $180.O00 bonds are already outstanding,
| and 100000 will now be issued for
| equipping the whole system with elec-
tricity; of this $220, 900, we shall receive
for delivery $150,000 on or before June
lst, which are advertised herewith; we
shall offer no move of the bonds until
August, 1895.
The charter of the Railroad was
granted in 1880, and is perpetual. This
mortgage is first lion on all the fran
chises, rights and property Gncluding
real estate and equipment) situated in
the Cities of Portland, Deering and
Westbrook.
The length of track is 2o.14 miles,
making the bonded Indebtedness less
than $40, 600 per mile.
The earnings for 1894 were as fol-
| lows
Gross, $2o7. .552. 20
Expenses and taxes, 69,979 IS
Net, 1852. AZ
Interest, S,622.24
Surplus, 2S,950.0S
1t will be noticed first, that the operat-
ing expenses, which included new cars,
motors, snow plough, l mile new
track, ETC., were over so per cent of the
gross earnings, and secoud, that the net
earnings were sufficient to pay the in
terest on bonds then outstanding, plus
this new block of S220,000, taoice ouer.
| 1t is conseryatively estimated that the
increase in earnings and decrease in ex-
penses (due to electricity will be at
| least sufficient to pay interest on the
| ,uhole indebtedness, additional to the
present large earnings.
The capital stock is $500, 600, which sells
in the home market at lis to 120 and
pays per cent dividends. The surplus
is over SIS, 900.
An experts estimate of the savings to
to the road, by making the change to
electricity in 1895. over what the same
would have costin 1892 is at least $3.50, 900,
due to present low prices of rails, motors
cars, etc.
These bonds are legal investment for
Maine Savings Banks, $175.000 of those
outstanding being now owned by the
Portland Savings Bank.
We feel fully justified in recommend
ing them as particularly choice invest
ment, returning better income than
any other home security of similar
standing.

which me is interested. BY this means
the money paid out in wages in Cripple
Creek is turned over and over again and
made to go as far as possible. This al
most accounts for the many fortunes
that have been made by poor men in
the Cripple Creek district.
I'm no other camp in the world Is the
permeation of gold bearing veins so
general might say almost universal.
No vein has been discovered in the dis
trict that does not carry some proper
tion of pay mineral. This is not true of
any other district of which 1 ever
heard. In fact, in most districts al
most a majority of the veins do not
carry pay mineral, at least near the sur
face. The largest mines in the Cripple
Creek territory are the Portland and
the independence. The former, which
is made up of a group of mines. is now
producing ore at the rate of 5000. 600 a
month, over half of which is net profit
They are now working on a thirty-five
foot vein. The Independece consists of
only one claim. but it is very rich. Its
output is s125,00 a month, and this
could be easily doubled. or even trebel-
ed. w. s. Stratton is the owner of the
Independence. Three years ago ne was
a poor carpenter and now he has so
much money ne does not know what TO
do with it 1t is for that reason that he
is holding the production down. The
stock of the Portland mine is owned by
five men, two of whom We're plumbers
three years ago, one was a farmer. an
other was carpenter, and a fifth was a
miner.
PRODUCED CHEAPLY
There is no district in the world
where such rich ore is found in such
vast Quantities or where the cost of
production OF gold an ounce is so low.
l have it from the best authority that
a large amount of ore from the Port
land costs only % cents an ounce. The
average cost of production from the In
dependence is so cents an ounce. while
it is safe to say that the average cost
ofproducti on throughout the district is

Oil has advanced about 100 per cent
recently. People generally believe il to
be the result of combination between
the Standard Oil Company and other
producers, but the managers of this
great company say the advance is be-
cause the annual production is less than
the annual consumption. Oil has been
so very low it has been used very eX-
tensiyely and the sharp advance will
have the tendency to curtail the use
somewhat.
