The maximum grade from the foot of the mountains to the summit 'abut eighty feet to the mile, while that of many eastern road. is over one hundred. Work in the rock-cuttings on the western elope will continue through the winter, and there is now no reason to doubt that the entire grand line to the Pa. cific will be open for business in 1870. The means provided for the construction of this Great National Work are ample. Tho United States grants its Six Per Cent. Bonds at the rate of from 8116,000 to $48,000 per mile, for which it takes a second (fen as security, and receives payment to a largo if not the full extent of Its claim in services. These Bonds re issued as each twenty-mile section is fmished, and after it has been ex amined by United States Commiasloners and pronounced to be in all respects a first-class road, thoroughly supplied with depots, repau•shops, stations, and all the necessary rolling stock and other equipments. The United States also makes a donation of 12,800 acres of land to the mile, which will be a source of large re. venue to the Company. Much of this land in the Platte Valley is among the moat fertile in the world, and other large portions are covered with heavy pine tercets and abound in coal of the best quality. The Company is also authorized to issue Its own First Mortgage Bonds to an spountequal to the issue of the Government and no more, lion. E. D. Morgan and Hen. Oaken Ames are Trustees for the Bondholders,and deliver the Honda to the Company only as the, work pro. greases, so that they always represent an actual and pro• ductive value. The authorized capital of the Company is One Hundred Million Dollars. of which over tire millions have been paid in upon the work already done. • At present, the profits of the Company are derived only front Ito local traffic, but thin is already much more than sufficient to pay the interest on all the Bonds the Company can isiei e. if not another mile were built. It is not doubted that when the road is completed the through traffic of the only line o connecting the Atlantic and Pact. fic Station will be large beyond precedent,and as there will be no competition, it can always be dOne at profitable rates. It will he noticed that the Union Pacific Railroad is, in fact, a Government Work, built under the supervision of Government officers, and to a largo extent with Go. vernment money, and that its bonds are issued under Government direction. It is believed that no similar security is so carefully guarded, and certainly no other is based upon a larger or more valuable property. As the Company's are offered for the present at 90 CENTS fri THE DOT• LAR, they are the cheapest security in the market, being more than 16 per cent, lower than United States. Stack.
