ACROSS THE CONTINENT, ARE NOW COMPLETED. The Union Pacific Railroad Company have built a longer line of railroad in the last eighteen months than was ever built by any ether compa ny in the same time, and they will eontione the work with the same energy until it is completed. The Western Division is being pushed repidly eastward from Sarrementa by the Central Pacific Company of California, audit is expected that THE ENTIRE GRAND LINE to the Pacific will be open for bnstoe-s in 1870 More than one-third of the work hue already been done, more than one-third of the whole line is note in running order, and more laborers are now em ployed upon it than ever before. More than FORTY MILLION DOLLARS IN MONEY have already been expended by the two powerju companies that have nndertaken the enterprise and there is no lack of funds for its most vigorou prosecution. When the United States Govern ment found it necessary to secure the construe tion of the Union Pacific Railroad, to develop an protect its own interests, it gave the Companie authorized to build it such ample aid as should reader its speedy completion beyond a doubt. The 'available means of the Union Pacific Rail road Company, derived from the Government and its own stockholders, may be briefly summed up as follower I.—UNITED STATES BONDS Having thirty years to run and bearing six per cent, currency interest at the rate of $16,000 per mile Ft 517 miles on the Plains; then at the rate of *48,000 per mile for l&O miles through the Rocky Mountains; thence at the rate of $32,000 per mile forthe remaining dsstance, for which the United States takes a eecond lien as security. The interest on these bonds is paid by the United States government, which also pays'tbe company one-half the amount of its bills to money for trans porting its freight, troops, mails, Ac. The re maining half of these hills is placed to the com pany's credit, and forms a sinking fund which may finally discharge the whole amount of this lien. Tire claims against the government since April of the current year amount to four and one half times this interest. 2.—FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS. By its charter the Company is permitted to is sue its own First Mortgage Bonds to the same amount as the bonds issued by the government, and no more , and only an the road progresses. The Trustees for the bondholders are the Hon. E. D Morgan, U. S. Senator from New York, and the Hon. Oakes Ames, Member of the U. 8. House of Representatives, who are responsible forthe de livery of these bonds to the Company in strict ac cordance with the terms of the law. 3.—THE LAND GRANT. The Union Pacific Railroad Company has a land grant or absolute donation Irom the govern ment of 12,800 acres to the mile on the lire of the of the road, which will not be worth less than $1.50 per acre at the lowest valuation. I— THE CAPITAL STOCK. The authorized capital of the Union Pacific Railroad Company is $100,000,000, of which over $5,000,000,000 have been paid on the work already done. THE MEANS SUFFICIENT TO BUILD THE ROAD. Contracts for the entire work of the building 914 miles of first-class railroad west from Omaha, comprising much of the most difficult mountain work, ami embracing every expense except sur veying, have been made with responsible par tics (who have already finished over 500 miles), at the average rate of sixty-eight thousand and fifly-eigbt dollars (M 5,058) per mile. This price includes all necessary shops for construction and repairs of cars, depots, stations and all other in cidental buildings, and also locomotives, passen ger, baggage, and freight cars, and other requisite rclltog-stock, to an amount that shall not be less than $5,000 per mile. Allowing the cost of the remaining one hundred and eighty-six of the eleven hundred miles assumed to be bnilt by the Pacific Company to be $90,000 per mile. THE TOTAL COST OF ELEVEN HUNDRED MILES WILL BE AS FOLLOWSi 914 miles, at $98,053 $62,205,012 198 miles at $90,000 16,740,000 Add discounts on bonds, surveys, Ac 4,590,000 Amount $83,415,012 As the U. S. Bonds are equal to money, and the Company's own First Mortgage Bonds have a ready market, we have as the AVAILABLE CASH RESOURCES FOR BUILDING ELEVEN HUNDRED MILES: U. S. Bonds $29,328,000 First Mortgage Bonds 29,328,000 Capital stock paid in .on the work now done 5,309,750 Land Grant, 14,036,000 acres, at $1,50 per acre 21,120,000 Total $35,145,750 The company have ample facilities for supply ing any deficiency that may arise to means for construction. This may be done wholly or in part by additional subscriptions to capital stock. Active inquiry has already been made for a portion of these lands, and arrangements are now proposed to offer a part of them for sale. While their whole value will not be available for some years to come, they will remain a very important source of revenue to the Company. The lands of the Illinois Central Railroad Company are sel ling at from $6 to sl2 per acre, and other land grant companies in the West are receiving equal prices for similar properties. FUTURE BUSINESS. The most skeptical have never expressed a doubt that when the Union Pacific Railroad is finished the immense business that must Sow over it, as the only railroad connecting the two grand divisions of the North American continent, will be one of the wonders of railway transportation; and as it will have no competitor it can always charge remunerated rates. EARNINGS FROM WAY BUSINESS. During the qnarter ending July 31, an average of 325 miles of the Union Pacific Railroad was to operation. The Superintendent's Report shows the following result: EARNINGS. Passengers, Freight, Telegraph and Mails $723,755 54 Transportation of Contractor's Mate rials and Men 479,283 41 Total $1,203,038 41 EXPENSES Fuel, Repairs, Offices, Conductors, Trains, Ac $395,530 92 NKT EAH.VIXOS to balance 807,508 03 Total 41,203,038 95 Tho net operating expenses on the commercial business for the quarter were $237,966 50. The account for the COMMERCIAL BUSINESS stands as follows: Earnings for May, June and July $723,755 54 Expenses " " " 237,966 50 Net Profit 4485,789 04 The amount of Bonds the Company can issue on 325 miles, at $16,000 per mile, is $5,200,000. In terest in gold, three months, at 6 per cent., on this sum, is $78,900; add 40 per cent, premium, to cor respond with currency earnings, is $109,200 — showing that the net earnings for this quarter were more than four timet the interest on the First Mortgage Bonds on this length of road. FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS, whose principal is so amply provided for, and whose interest is so thoroughly secured, must be classed among the safest investments. They pay SIX PER CENT. IN GOLD, and are** offered for the present at NINETY CENTS ON THE DOLLAR, and accrued interest at Six Per Cent, to Currency from July 1, Many parties are taking advantage of the pres ent high price of Government stocks to exchange for these Bonds, which are over FIFTEEN PER CENT. CHEAPER, and, at the current rate of premium on gold pay OVER NINE PER CFNT. INTEREST.
