have subsidized from novelties into regular
pack horses. Speaking OF their superiority
over mules. Mr.. Beale, who has charge of
them, in report to the Government, says:
al have lately tried effectually aua COM
parative value of mules and camels as pack
animals. The experiment leaves the palm
with the camels. Both trains receiving the
order to start at the same time in the morn
ing, the cames Invariably arrive at camp a
distance of twenty-five miles, an hour, and
sometimes an hour and twenty minutes, a.

burden vi two hundred pounds, the cameis
packed with four hundre ed, besides rider.
armed with his rifle, revolver, and ammuni-
ton, and his bedding laid oyer the pack to
sit on.
"The young are great pets in camp, but
very mischievous-poking their noses into
every bag,pot, and pan about the camp fires,
Their great aim in life at present seems to be
to ape the manners and habits to their sires
-kneeling down and growing and complain
ng precisely as the old ones do whenever the
train IL packed. We have entirely diseou-
itinued the cumbersome oriental apparatus
used as saddle, and have in its place one of
hight, useful, and simple construction"
