The gross earnings and operating expenses of the main 
line of tho Central Pacific Railroad (Salt Lake to 
San Francisco), and the number of miles operated in 
each year, from the commencement to the present time:

The net earnings, interest liabilities, and surplus earn- 
ings for the same period were : 
Interest on Surplus of 
outstanding net earnings 
Net earnings. Bonded debt. over interest. 
§10.073,265 $1,134,321 $5,895,042 
From the foregoing it will be seen that the Central 
Pacific Railroad has earned, in six years, more than 
$10,000,000 net over operating expenses, and nearly 
$0,000,000 over operating expenses and interest on its 
bonds; while, during four years and a half of that lime, 
the road was under construction, without through busi- 
ness, and, for the first three years, with less than 100 
miles in operation. 
Of the earnings for 1S70, at least eixty-fivc per cent 
•was from local business. 
The security of the principal, and the assurance of 
regular and prompt payment of interest which are afford- 
ed in the valuable property and immense revenue of the 
road render the Central Pacific bonds as safe and relia- 
ble an investment as can be made. 
We deal in them the same as in Goverment securities ; 
they are daily quoted on the regular call of the New 
York Stock Exchange, and of several of the most import- 
ant Stock Exchanges of Europe, and can be as readily 
sold at quoted market price as the bonds of the United 
States Government. 
We buy and sell Government Bonds, Gold, etc., make 
collections, receive deposits, allow interest thereon, and 
do a general banking business.

Safe Home Investment 
The Connecticut Air-Line, 
First Mortgage, Seven per cent Bonds, 
are made unusually safe, by having Two Dollars of 
valuable pi-oductivc proper* y pledged to secure 
each and every Dollar of Bonds issued, as under the 
Charier of the Company, the bonds can be Issued for only 
one-half of the actual cost of the Road. 
A rich and enterprising section of Connecticut is furnish- 
ed for the first time, with ample railroad facilities, by this 
Road, one-ha 1 ! o£ the line having been in successful opera- 
tion since August, while the unfinished portion is rapidly 
approaching completion. This Road also forms, with Its 
connections, the shortest route between Boston and New 
York, saving 'i~t miles iu the dlstauce, equal to Twenty 
per cent. 
The Bonds arc free from TJ. S. Tax, and from all State 
and Local Taxes in Connecticut, which makes a saving of 
some two per cent to investors. They bear 7 per cent inter- 
est are in denominations ot $510 and $1,000, and can at the 
option of the holder, be registered. 
"We recommend these Bonds, Issued by the 
New Haven, Hiddlctown, and Willimau- 
tic It. R. Co., 
on account of their superior security, and libera. ...come.
