Financial Statement.-Abstract of general account, January 1, 1873: The company has a land-grant equalling 6,420 acres per mile, provided the same can be found in alternate odd sections within 20 miles of the line of its road. Of this grant there had been certified to the company, up to January 1, 1873, 1,631,234 acres. Of these lands there had been sold, up to January 1, 1873, 159,457 acres, for $1,061,027, of which $312,672 were received in cash, the balance, $748,565, being still unpaid. Upon the extension of the North or Branch Line between St. Cloud and St. Vincent, 320 miles, and between Sauk Rapids and Brainerd, 60 miles, a total length of lines of 380 miles, bonds have been issued to the amount of $15,000,000. These bonds are dated April 1, 1871, and bear interest at the rate of 7 per cent per annum. They are secured by a mortgage on the road and lands of the company. The interest in gold is payable in London and Amsterdam. They are additional to those described in the preceding financial statement. Of the west or main line lands, 5,596.42 acres have been laid out as town sites in 16,789 lots, of which 741 have been sold, realizing $13,436.50, averaging $53.38 per lot, or $175.14 per acre. The valuation of the unsold lands on the branch and main lines is made at the price per acre originally fixed by the trustees, under the requirements of the company's trust deeds, namely, $5.50 per acre on the branch line and $7 per acre on the main line. On lands already sold more than these prices have been realized; the enhancement in value of those unsold, to be anticipated with the settlement and development of the country along the lines, over the present estimate will proportionally increase the estimated surplus of the company's assets over its liabilities, shown above in the financial statement. The land-grant on the 380 miles of extensions of the branch line, at the rate of 10 sections of 640 acres each per mile, amounts to 2,435,200 acres. GEORGE L.
