TUPIZA, Bolivia, September %, 1908.
1t is a fortnight trip by mules from Jujuy,
the present terminus of the Argentine rail-
way system, to Uyuni, the nearest railroad
point in Bolivia. The distance is $50 miles.
Mountain mules seem larger than ordinary
mules, and before the journey is ended the
distance seems greater than it actually Is.
The resting place is at Tupiza, in southern
Bolivia, about two-thirds of the way.
Jujuy is a frontier supply town, and there
was no trouble in getting the necessaries of
the journey, canned goods cooking utensils,
mattresses, blankets. and so forth. The
serious question was the means of trans
portation Good mules always are in de-
mand, and their owners are not anxious to
send them too far. Finally they were
found. A treaty was celebrated between
myself and Loreto Diaz, arriero, or master
muleteer, under which the said Loreto
DiaZ, in consideration of a sum consider
ably more than the regular price, agreed to
deliver me and my baggage in Uyuni within
given time.
