New York, January 12, 1871. f 
The gross earnings and operating expenses of the main 
line of the Central Pacific Railroad (Salt Lake to 
San Francisco), and the number of miles operated in 
each year, from the commencement to the present time : 
Miles dross Operating 
Operated. Earnings. Expenses. 
1S65.31 to 56 $ 401,941.92 $ 121,669.53 
1866 . 56 to 94 864,917.57 200,710.61 
1867 . 94 to 137 1,470,653.50 830,913.33 
1868 .137 to 468 2,300,767.17 843.066.54 
1869 .468 to 742 5,670,822.25 2,993,523.19 
1870 .742 to 900 7,920,710.93 4,060,561.95 
Total.$18,629,813.39 $8,550,548.15 
The net earnings, interest liabilities, and surplus earn¬ 
ings for the same period were : 
Interest on Surplus of 
outstanding net earnings 
Net earniugs. Bonded debt. over interest. 
$10,079,265 $1,184,221 $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 time, 
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 1870, at least sixty-five 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 he made. 
■ We deal in them the same as in Govermcnt 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 lie 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 hanking business.

Safe Home Investment. 
The Connecticut Air-Line, 
First Mortgage, Seven per cent Bonds, 
are made unusually safe, by having Two Dollars of 
valuable productive property pledged to secure 
each and every Dollar of Bonds issued, as under the 
Charter 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 facliities, by this 
Road, one-half of 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 27 miles in the distance, equal to Twenty 
per cent. 
The Bonds are free from U. S. Tax, and from all Stale 
and Local Taxes in Connecticut, which makes a savingof 
some two per cent to investors. They hear 7 per cent inter¬ 
est., are in denominations of $560 and $1,009, and can at the 
option of the holder, be registered. 
We recommend these Bonds, issued by the 
Sew Haven, Middletown, and Williinan- 
tic I?. It. Co., 
on account of their superior security, and liberal income.
