267 .MILES REMAIN
To be Finished, to Open the Grand
Through Line to the Pacific. This
opening will certainly take place early
this season.
Besides a donation from the Governmentof 12,800 acres of laud
per mile, the Company is entitled to subally in 11. S. Bonds on its
IMe as completed and accepted, at the average rate of about
$26,600 per mile, according to the difficulties encountered, for which
the Government take a second lien as security. Whether sub
sidiee are given to any other companies or noti. the Government
will comply with all its contracts with the Union Pacific Railroad
Company. Nearly the whole amount of -bowie to which the Com
pany will be entitled have already been delliered.
First Mortgage Bonds
AT PAR.
By its' charter the Company is permitted to issue its own FIRST
MORTGAGE BONDS to the same amount as the Government Bonds,
and no mere. These Bonds are a First Mortgage upon the whole
road and all its equipments.
THEY HAVE THIRTY YEARS TO MIN, AT SIX PER CENT.,
and both

PAYABLE IN GOLD.
such securities are generally valuriblein proportion to the length
of time-they haie to run. The longest six per cent gold interest
bonds of the U. 8., (the 'Bl's) will be due in 12 years, and they are
worth 112„. If they had 30 years to run, they would stand at not
less than 125. A perfectly safe First Mortgage Bond like the Union,
Pacific should approach this rate. The demand for European in
vestment is already considerable, and on the completion of the
work will doubtlesscarry the price to-a large premium.
SECURITY OF ;THE BONDS
It needs no argument to show that a First Mortgage of $26,500
per mile uponwbat for a long time must be the only railroad con.
netting the Atlantic and Facitic States is nraszeras Bacons. The
entire amountiof the mortgage will be about $30,000,000, and the
interest $1.800,900 per annum in, gold. The present currency cost
of this interest is less than $2,500,000 per annum, while the gross
earning+ for the year 1568, FROM WAY DIISINESS only, on AN
AVERAGE OF LESS THAN iOO

This large amount is only an indication of the immense traffic
that must go over the through line in a feW months, when the
great tide of Pacific coast travel and trade will begin. It is esti
mated that this business mnsfmahe the earnings of the road from
FIFTEEN TO TWENTY MILLIONS A YEAR.
As the supply of thede Bonds will soon cease, parties who desire
to invest in them will find it for their interest to do so at once. The
