contribute to its columns, and in the breadth; com
prehensiveness and variety of its reading : it cer

THE FIRST MORTGAGE.,
Thirty-Year, Six Per Cent.
GOLD BONDS,
EEK;33
CENTRAL
PACIFIC RAILROAD CO.
These Bonds are the duly authorized and accredited
obligations of one of the most responsible Corpora
tions of the American Continent, and are secured by
an absolute first lien upon the valuable grants, fran
chises, railroad equipment, business, etc., of the best
portion,of the
Great National Pacific Railroad Line,
extending eastwardly from the navigable waters of
the Pacific Coast to the lines now' rapidly building
from the Eastern States.
They •bear Six per cent. interest per annum, in
gold, and both principal and interest are expressly
made " payable in United States Gold Coin."
The semi-annual Coupons are payable, July Ist and
January Ist, in New York City.
The purchaser is charged the accrued interest from
the date of the last paid Coupon, at the Currency
rate only.
This issue of Bonds-constitutes one of the largest
and most poPular Corporate Loans of the country,
and therefore will be constantly dealt in.
The greater portion of the Loan is now in the
hands of steady investors ; and it is probable that be
fore many months, when the Road is completed and
the Loan closed, the Bonds will be eagerly sought
for at the highest rates.
They are issued on ly
. as the work progresses, and
to the same extent only as the U. S. Subsidy Bonds
granted by the government to the Pacific Railroad
Companies.
Nearly five hundred miles of the road are now
built, and the grading is well advanced on two hun
dred and fifty miles additional.
The Through Line across the Continent will be
completed by the middle of next year, when the
Overland travel will be very large.
The local business alone, upon the completed por-
tion is so heavy and so advantageous, that the
gross earnings average more than a quarter of a
million in gold per month, of which 35 per cent.
only is required for operating expenses.
The net profit upon the Company's business on toe
completed portion, is about double the amount of an
nual interest liabilities to be assumed thereupon, and
will yield a surplus of nearly a million in gold after
expenses and interest are paid— even if the through
connection were not made.
The best lands, the richest mines, together with the
largest settlements and nearest markets, lie along this
portion of the Pacific Railroad, and the future de
velopment of business thereon will be proportionally
great.
From these considerations it is :submitted that the
CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD
BONDS,
secured by a First Mortgage upon so productive a
property.are among the most promising and reliable
securities now offered. No better Bonds can be made.
A portion of the remainder of this Loan is now of
fered to investors at
103 Per Cent., and
Accrued Interest, in Currency.
The Bonds are of $l,OOO each. •
Ser The Company reserve the-right to advance the
price at any time; but all orders actually in transitu at
the time of any such advance will be filled at present
price. At this time theypay more than
8 PER CENT. CENT UPON THE INVESTMENT,
and have, fronaationat and State laws, guarantees pecu
liar to themselves.
We receive all classes of Government Bonds, at their
full market rates, in exchange for the Central Pacific
Railroad Bonds, thus enabling the holders to realize
from 5 to 10 per cent, profit and keep the principal
of their investments equally secure.
Orders and inquiries will receive prompt attention.
