The Grand Continental Pacific Railroad is fast
hastening toward completion, and in 1870 we are
promised a through line from New York to San
Francisco —time, six days. From present indica
tions a double track will soon be necessary, and

tax its capacity.

to make all possible progress, are offering their
First Mortgage Bonds at par and back interest.
These Bonds are the first lien upon this valuable
property, and are backed by an equal amount of
Government money invested in the enterprise, and
are becoming more prominent among standard in
vestments. The advertisement in another column
explains the foundation and merits of these securi
ties.
