FIRST MORTGAGE SINKING FUND 
LAND GRANT BONDS 
OF TIIE 
St, Joseph and Denver City Railroad Company, 
WESTERN IDWISIOIN'. 
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 Pacific 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 
and 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 easli. 
Second—A limited amount for iron and material. The casli is placed to the credit of the Company in trust, and can he 
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, respective])', until the entire completion of the road, when the balance of flic 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 tlie 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 he completed, from Marysville to Kearney Station, at a junction witli 
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, casli 
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 tlie 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 tlie Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company of tlie City of New York, as trustees. The 
mortgage is dated May 11,1870, and under it, and as their security, these bonds are issued. 
The bonds are now ready for sale and delivery through tlie 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 casli in trust company. Tlie mortgage expressly covers casli on deposit in bank or 
trust company. 
The undersigned are authorized to announce tlie decision of tlie Company to sell their lands on tlie line of tlie road. 
Under tlie 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 Hie payment of these bonds, this lien on any portion of the land can only be re¬ 
moved by paying to tlie trustees, as mortgagees, tlie full amount of tlie purchase money of any land sales. 
The fund is applied as follows; 
First—To the payment of the interest on tlie bonds during tlie construction of tlie road, and, if necessary, the space of 
four (4) years 
Second—To tlie payment of tlie principal of the bonds. 
The payment of the principal before maturity is not compulsory to the holder of tlie bonds, but should holders desira 
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 tlie bonds can not be bought at one hundred and fifteen, tlie trustees are authorized to invest the proceeds of land 
sales ill 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. 
Tlie following banking corporations of the City of New York are designated depositaries of this loan: 
Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company. 
United States Trust Company. 
Union Trust Company. 
Manhattan Company. 
Tlie bonds have thirty years to run from May 14,1870, payable in gold, in the City of New York. 
They bear interest at tlie rate of eight (8) per cent per annum, payable in GOLD, free of tax, semi-annually, on the 15tli 
days of February and Augiftt, in New York, London, or Frankfort O. M., at tlie option of tlie 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 tlie owner’s name witli the coupons on, or they can be converted into 
a registered bond by the surrender of tlie coupons and the interest paid to tlie registered owner at any of tlie three points 
where the coupons arc payable. 
Tills consolidated mortgage is at tlie rate of $15,000 per mile of road, and $2 per acre of land. 
Tlie bonds are offered for tlie present at 97% and accrued interest, in currency, witli tlie reserved right to advance tlie 
price without notice. 
All kinds of marketable securities will be received at tlie current market value, without commission, in payment of 
this loan. 
Holders of 5-20’s, and especially those who do not desire to be paid off by Hie Treasury Department; can now exchange 
their Governments for these bonds at a rjcod and substantial profit. 
Expressage relating to the loan will be free. 
Maps, pamphlets, and documents furbished on application. 
It is believed no loan can be offered which rests oil a more solid foundation than tills loan of tlie St. Joseph and Denver 
City Railroad Company. 
Tlie most careful and critical examination of tlie 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 tlie principle that an element of strengtli in all loans is tlie 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 tlie road, but which was granted to 
tlie Company by the United States Government for tlie 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 east, and connecting as it will with tlie Union Pacific Road on tlie 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 ttie line is 
graded, and track-laying being now far advanced, will continue rapidly until tlie junction witli tlie Union Pacific Road 
is made. 
YYe have been at great expense in the examination of this property and the bonds and mortgage, and arc satisfied tiie 
investments in this loan will not only be safe, but profitable. TVe base onr calculations on tlie fact that the First Mortgage 
Bonds of this Company, on the Eastern Division, lately successfully placed by our firm at 97%, have advanced to 102 and 
accrued interest, making them rule at 106, or nearly ten per cent advance. 
Under all circumstances, we unhesitatingly recommend them.
