FIRST MORTGAGE SINKING FUND 
LAND GRANT BONDS 
OF TUE 
St. Joseph and Denver City Railroad Company, 
WESTERN DIVISION. 
The St. Joseph and Denver City Railroad Company, having .successfully built and equipped the Eastern Division of its 
road, extending from the. City of St. Joseph, Mo., to the City of Marysville, Kansas, a distance of 112 miles, is now actively 
engaged in the construction of the Western Division of this line of railway, extending from Marysville, Kansas, to a junction 
with the Union Facittc Railroad at Fort Kearney Station, a distance, including side tracks, of 170 miles. 
For the purpose of building and equipping this road, the Company have executed and delivered to the Farmers' Loan 
ami Trust Company, in trust, $5,500,000 of First Mortgage Sinking Fund Land Grant Railroad Bonds, in denominations of 
$1,000. $500, and $100, to be countersigned and issued only in conformity with the Mortgage Deed, which is: 
First— For cash. 
Second— A limited amount for iron and material. The cash is placed to the credit of the Company In trust, and can bo 
drawn out only in payment for fully completed road, in sections of ten (10.) miles each, at the rate of $16,000 or $22,000 per 
mile, respectively, until the entire completion of the road, when the balance of the loan will be paid over to the Treasurer 
of the Company for equipment purposes. 
The iron, the equal of gold, and materials are brought under the subjection of the mortgage, made to secure the pay- 
ment of the bonds. 
To secure the payment of the interest and principal of these bonds, the Company have made a first and only mortgage 
on their Western Division Road, completed and to be completed, from Marysville to Kearney Station, at a junction with 
the Union Pacific Road, a distance of 160 miles, with 10 miles side tracks, making a total distance of 170 miles, including roll- 
ing stock, motive power, depots, machine-shops, telegraphs, equipments of every description, rights of way, franchises, cash 
on deposit In any bank or trust company, and lands lying twenty miles on either side ot the railroad, granted to the Com- 
pany by the United States Government, amounting to 1,500,000 acres, and real and personal property of every description 
which the Company now own, or may hereafter possess, lying between Marysville and Kearney, and equipments appertain- 
ing to this Division of the Company's Road. 
This entire property is mortgaged to the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company of the City of New York, as trustees. The 
mortgage is dated May II, 1S70, and under it, and as their security, these bonds are issued. 
The bonds are now ready for sale and delivery through the undersigned. Holders and parties desiring to purchase will 
recognize that they can do so with perfect safety, as their value is always represented, either by lands equal in value, and a 
completed and equipped road— iron or cash in trust company. The mortgage expressly covers cash on deposit in bank or 
trust company. 
The undersigned are authorized to announce the decision of the Company to sell their lands on the line of the road. 
Under the mortgage deed given to secure these bonds, no land can be sold at a less price than $4 per acre. 
The lands being mortgaged to secure the payment of these bonds, this lien on any portion of the land can only be re- 
moved by paying to the trustees, as mortgagees, the full amount of the purchase money of any land sales. 
The fund is applied as follows : 
First— To the payment of the interest on the bonds during the construction of the road, and, if necessary, the space of 
four (4) years 
Second— To the payment of the principal of the bonds. 
The payment of the principal before maturity is not compulsory to the holder of the bonds, but should holders deslrq 
to sell, the trustees are authorized to purchase, but not over a premium of fifteen per cent. 
Every bond purchased under this authority is immediately canceled. 
If the bonds can not be bought at one hundred and fifteen, the trustees are authorized to invest the proceeds of land 
sales in the bonds of the United States, States of New York, Massachusetts, and Illinois, and hold the same as a sinking 
fund for the redemption of these bonds at maturity. 
The following banking corporations of the City of New York are designated depositaries of this loan: 
Fanners' Loan and Trust Company. 
United States Trust Company. 
Union Trust Company. 
Manhattan Company. 
The bonds have thirty years to run from May II, 1S70, payable in gold, in the City of New York. 
They bear interest at the rate uf eight (S) per cent per annum, payable in GOLD, free of tax, semi-annually, on the 15th 
days of February and August, in New York, London, or Frankfort O, M., at the option of the holder, without notice, and in 
the currency of the country in which the coupon is presented. 
The equivalent of currency is at a uniform rate of exchange, and is expressed in the coupon. 
They are coupon bonds, but may be registered in the owner's name with the coupons on, or they can be converted into 
a registered bond by the surrender of the coupons and the interest paid to the registered owner at any of the three points 
where the coupons are payable. 
This consolidated mortgage is at the rate of $15,000 per mile of road, and $1 per acre of land. 
The bonds are offered for the present at 97>£ and accrued interest, In currency, with the reserved right to advance the 
price without notice. 
All kinds of marketable securities will be received at the current market value, without commission, in payment of 
this loan. 
Holders of 5-20V, and especially those who do not desire to be paid oft' by the Treasury Department, can now exchange 
their Governments for these bonds at a good and substantial profit. 
Expreesage relating to the loan will be free. 
Maps, pamphlets, and documents furnished on application. 
It is believed no loan can be offered which rests on a more solid foundation than this loan of the St. Joseph and Denver 
City Railroad Company. 
The most careful and critical examination of the Company's lands by experienced parties, and the estimates of preju- 
diced persons, have placed their value at not less than $5 per acre, while others estimate them at a higher figure. The 
offers which the Company have received for them fully justify the assertion that the proceeds of their sale will pay off this 
loan, and leave the road free of bonded debt. These bonds are receivable at par and accrued interest, in payment of any 
lands sold under this mortgage. 
The Company, recognizing the principle that an element of strength in all loans is the provision made for their redemp- 
tion, In making their mortgage a consolidated one, covering both road and lands, have wisely made provision for the pay- 
ment of this loan by the sale of their landed estate, which Is not needed in operating the road, but which was granted to 
the Company by the United States Government for the express purpose of aiding them to construct and operate this road. 
The St. Joseph and Denver City Railroad connects at St. Joseph with railways running direct to St. Louis, Hannibal, 
and Toledo on the cast, and connecting as it will with the Union Pacific Road on the west, is a very important link in the 
continental chain of railways. It also has through railway connection with Chicago. A very large part of the line is 
graded, and track-laying being now far advanced, will continue rapidly until the junction with the Union Pacific Road 
is made. 
We have been at great expense in the examination of this property and the bomls and mortgage, and are satisfied the 
investments in this loan will not only be safe, but profitable. Wc base our calculations on the fact that the First Mortgage 
Bonds of this Company, on the Eastern Division, lately Successfully placed by our firm at 97M, have advanced to 192 and 
accrued interest, making them rule at. 106, or nearly ten per cent advance. 
Under all circumstances, we unhesitatingly recommend them.
