1,500,000 ACRES 
OF THE 
Most Fertile and Eligibly Located Lands, 
Suitable for FARMING and GRAZING, are offered 
FOR SALE to actual settlers, on the most liberal terms, 
by the ST. JOSEPH AND DENVER CITY 
RAILROAD COMPANY, lying along their liDe of 
road in the State of Nebraska. 
The superior advantages that these hinds possess in point 
of locution, lying on Hie direct highway running East and 
"West between New fork ami San Francisco, are at a glance 
comprehended by every one looking to a rapid increase in 
the value of real estate and funning lands. 
The SOIL is DEEP and RICH, and produces the 
heaviest Grain Crops in the country. The temperature of 
this section of the United States is particularly favorable 
for raising Fruits and all kinds of Garden Vegetables to 
perfection, and as :v grazing country it even excels Kansas, 
not only in point of the luxuriance of its glasses, but from 
the absence of the flv that troubles cattle. This section has 
abundance of good water, and is destined to become before 
long the fattening grounds of the large herds in the West. 
The climate is the most even and salubrious. The most 
liberal facilities will be extended to settlers on these lands.
