THE PONY
How the Mails Were Carried Across
the Continent a Few Year ago.

Mr.. A. b. Miller, the prime mover, the
man who prepared the way and kept it in
running order from the Missouri to the
Pacific, is now a resident of this city, and
his hair is only streaked with gray so fast
do things change in the west. In an
early day the firm of Russell, Majors,
Waddel d. Co. were among the largest
contractors in the United States; their
business sometimes amounting to So, 000,-
600 annually. MI. Miller was the Sos"
the youngest member of the firm. and in
a great measure the life of it. Mails
were very irregular, the stage lines taking
a weekly which was sometimes lost, in fact
was extremely fortunate to get through.
This was conducted at a tremendous
cost. There was great rivalry between the
stage and ocean lines, the latter strug-
Cling for contracts for taking the mails
from New York by steamer to the 18th
mus, across this, and again by steamer
up the western coast. The mail which
went overland by the northern route
through New Mexico and Arizona. The
contracting firm above mentioned had the
control of the central route, by Kearney,
Julesburg, Fort Laramie, and Salt Lake.
People insisted That this route was i'm
practicable, and the idea of a daily mail
over it was pooh-poohed most vigorously.
MIR. Miller persuaded his more conserva-
tive partners that such a mail could be
carried. From this idea grew the pony
express, the fame of which was sooI
world wide. He was given two months,
February and March, 1861, to equip thu
line with stock and stations, which he die
at a cost of $50, 600. 1t WAS though
that the line would support itself, so tn,
proprietors expected not TO be out NOR,
than the original investment. 1t coulC
hardly be said that it did pay, but i
demonstrated what could be done, am,
encouraged the railroad and the wire I,
follow in its wake. Previous to this tim
there had been limited express lines o
the kind, but nothing on so gigantic
scale. Mr.. Miller had been over tn
route enough to know what ha,
been done He said that Salt Lake coul,
be reached from st. Joe in ten days an,
the coast in five days more.
On April 3 the ponies were starte,

ly enforced, we read and hear a great
deal said about the sold Connecticut
blue laws" 1t is safe to say that not one
in ten of those who liken the Downing
law to that celebrated code, have ever
seen or read it. For the benefit of the
large number who have never perused it

New Haven. The two colonies were
united in 1868.
