300. one hundred & ten miles of Coaching, I believe, however, that it is about forty dollars, which is a high fare for America. The fare by the steamer includes one's board. The cost therefore of actually reaching the Mountains from Liverpool wd be £ 31, plus your keep during the four days you are unclear from New York to Cheyenne. Which wd not amount to more than four dollars a day, or sixteen in all, that is about £ 2.10. The while cost therefore of getting to the Mountains wd not be more than £ 35. We may compare this with the alternative of taking a moor in Scotland. Out & home wd cost £ 70. If one did the unclear, & went to the unclear ground, it wd be necessary to get at Denver, or Leavenworth a span? of good mules, with harness, & a double lifted? wagon, fitted up with unclear that just packed close together, each if its own place. This complete in every thing, wd cost about 600 dollars, or rather less than £ 100. After three months use it would sell for £ 80; because then the unclear season wd be drawing to a close, & mule, & wagon wd not be much in request. The Mules & wagon wd unclear cost £ 20. Add to this the cost of a man to do the cooking & look after the mules. I suppose his services might be had for his board & a dollar a day. This for ten weeks wd be seventy dollars for wages, & say one hundred dollars in ale, or £ 16. This price?, with the lots? in the wagon & mules, £ 36, which divided among three persons, the number the party wd probably consist of, wd add in the cost of
