NOTICE T0INVEST01S. 
The attention of the investing public is called to the 
limited remainder of the NORTHERN PACIFIC RAIL¬ 
ROAD SEYEN-TIIIRTY LOAN. The unsold balance 
will be soon absorbed by current sales, after which the 
Company has resolved to issue only six per cent bonds. 
There are now more than 500 miles of the road in 
regular operation, with a growing traffic; surveys and 
construction are progressing satisfactorily; the survey 
prosecuted the present season, in connection with the 
Stanley military expedition, has resulted in the location 
of an excellent line.through Western Dakota and Eastern 
Montana, and the Company has advertised for proposals 
for grading and bridging the Yellowstone Division, ex¬ 
tending 205 miles from Bismarck, at the crossing of the 
Missouri River, to the crossing of the Yellowstone in 
Montana. The Company’s lands (amounting to more 
than 20,000 acres per mile of road) are selling to settlers 
at an average price of nearly six dollars per acre ; and 
the proceeds of land sales constitute a Sinking Fund for 
the purchase and cancellation of first-mortgage bonds. 
The Company’s Seven and Three-Tenth per Cent Gold 
Bonds, the last of which are now offered, yield nearly S'/ 2 
per cent per annum at the present price of gold. 
All marketable securities are received in exchange at 
current rates, and full information furnished on inquiry.
