State Historical society, of Montana has re-
ceived from c. E. Reese. of Virginia City,
one of the tickets used in the cary SOS on
the stage lines of Montana. 1t is from Vir-

Fargo company, the fare at that time being
$3.50. The ticket is composed of eight
coupons.
The first is by stage, supposedly to Salt
Lake, there being left blank space to be
filled in. From there it is over the Union
Pacific railroad to Omaha, by omnibus to
Council Bluffs and from there to Chicago
over the Chicago & Northwestern Railway.
From Chicago the ticket is over the Pitts
burg, Fort Wayne & Chicago to Pittsburg
and from Pittsburg to Harrisburg over the
Pennsylvania Central. From the latter
place to New York the ticket calls for pas
