Of the fan Francisco Alta we CLEAN the following
figures In regard to the amount Of business
on the Plaeeryille route during the last sea-
son. In the months Of January, February,
March and April, 1863, when the Henness Pass
route was partially closed by snow, the number
of footmen who passed swans ton-gnte was
6,067; horsemen, ea3; stage passengers, 3,lH 5
pack animals, 4e34; teams Of all kinds, 2 524 :
loose stock, 1859. For the three moths com.
mcncing May 9th, the amount of freight which
passed the same points, was an average Of two
hundred and thirty three tons daily; and the gen.
tleman who took down these items stated that
the rush to Reese river was 30 great that 1t was
impossible to even approximate the correct &C.
count Of travel. For the SIX months ending JAN
uary LIST, 1854 the Pioneer stages carried ten
Thousand five hundred through passengers over
this route. Including bullion, mails aud express
matter, they have also carried about two thou
sand pounds of freight each way daily.
