Monthly expenses .


Such a line, in addition to the necessary let
ter mail, could comfortably carry nine thro'
passengers per day, each way, which num-
Der would make $50 per month, and at
$50 each, would amount to the sum of
$4,000, or a profit of $14,500 per month
more than the cost Of running the line :and
that too without taking into consideration
the pay for carving the United States mail.
The trade would undoubtedly support five
or six daily stages, each way, but suppose
the company should run two and cary a
thousand passengers per month, the result
would be still more favorable. The extra
requirements for the additional stage would
be twelve hundred horses. thirty coaches
sixty drivers, and the feed for the horses.
This would give an additional premanent
investment Of 1922 800, and an increased
monthly expense. calculated at the rates we
have already given, Of S26.625, making the
entire monthly expenses OF Carrying the thou
sand passengers but $84,125, whilst the
receipts at the price we fixed, $3.50, would
be $l50,000, or profit, after paying an in
terest OF one per cent. per month, of $780,
800 per annum.
In our costs, the fault Of the estimate, if
it has any, is that it is too high So too
probably, is the estimate Of the receipts
TO be certain of an average Of eighteen pas
sengers per day the year round, probably
800 is as high as could be calculated on as
passage money from St. Louis to Sacramen-
to. This would give an annual receipt Of
$l,200,000, against an annual expense, in
terest on capital and wear and tear on bor-
ses and coaches included, Of 81 ,009, ,500,-
leaving net profit to the company of $780,
500, a year, bides the receiptsfor carrying
the mail VIII the California Stage Com
pany lock into the matter? They have the
energy requisite, and can command the
means necessary.

CALIFORNIA AND ST.. Louis MAIL STAGES
-PECUNIARY FEASIBILITY OF THE Line
The Democratic State Journal thus esti-
mates the expenses and advantages of the
above road:
Taking it for granted that the statements
Of DR.. Wozencraft. vouched for by the U.
S. Civil Engineer who recently passed over
the route are true, and that the entire line
from California to St Louis is a good dirt
road, as good in fact as any road of the kind
to be found in the Union, let US examine
whether or no it viii be likely to be prof.
table to an enterprising company with nerve
enough to embark in the business.
From the best Information we can pro-
cure. and as Sacramento is the head quar-
ters of ali California staging, We consider
our statistics pretty reliable, it will take
about seven hundred and ffty thousand dol
lars to stock the line and put up the neces-
sarv stables and other conveniences.
For a daily line each way, the route wo'd
have to be divided into one hundred and fifty
stations, twelve miles apart, with stable,
ten horses and two sets of harness at each
station. At every fifth station, or sixty
miles, it would require Concord coach, and
it would need about two-thirds las many
more coaches placed at intermediate sta
tions to guard against any serious detention
from accidents.
The cost Of these equipments may fairly
be estimated as follows, viz:
