INVEWOMENT SECURITIES. 
Jay Cooke <fc Co. are now selling, and recom¬ 
mend as a profitable and safe investment for all 
classes, the 1'irst Mortgage 7-30 Gold Bonds of 
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company. They 
have 30 years to run, bear Seven and Three-Tenths 
per cent gold interest (more than 8 per cent cur¬ 
rency), and arc secured by first and only mortgage 
ON THE ENTIRE ROAD AND ITS EQUIPMENTS, and 
also, as fast as the Road is completed, on 23,000 
Acres of Land to every mile of track, or 500 acres 
for each SI, 000 Bond. They are exempt from U. 
S. tax; principal and interest are payable in gold. 
Denominations: Coupons, $100 to $1,000; Regis¬ 
tered, $100 to $10,000. 
Northern Pacilie 7-30s are at all times receiv¬ 
able, at ten per cent above par, in exchange 
for the Company’s lands, at their lowest cash 
price. 
The proceeds of all sales of lands are required to 
be devoted to the re-purchase and cancellation of 
the first Mortgage Bonds of the Company. The 
Land Grant of the Road exceeds fifty Million 
Acres in the most fertile portion of the North-west, 
and the demand for the Company’s lands for set- 
1 lenient already exceeds the ability' of the Govern¬ 
ment to complete the surveys. This immense 
Sinking. Fund will undoubtedly cancel the principal 
of the Company’s bonded debt before it falls due. 
Holders of IT. S. Five-Twenties, who wish to 
convert them into a first-class railroad security, 
can do so at a present profit of about 12 per cent, 
while increasing their interest income nearly one 
fourth, by exchanging them for Northern Pacific 
7-30.'. . 
All marketable stocks and bonds will be received 
in exchange,.free of express charges, at their high¬ 
est 'current price. Full information, maps, 
pamphlets, etc., will be furnished on application 
to any agent for the Loan, or to Jay Cooke & Co., 
New York, Philadelphia, or Washington.
