ness and love across 1000 miles of
western mountains and plains, over
country peopled with hostile race,
destitute of cultivation or develop
ment, through a region wild, desolate
and little known.
1t was in 1860 that the pony express
was established The route, briefly
stated, was due west from ST. Joseph
to Fort Kearney, up the Platte to
Julesburg, thence, by Fort Laramie
and Fort Bridger, to Salt Lake City,
thence to Camp Floyd, Ruby valley,
the Humboldt, Carson City, Placer
vile and Folsom, to Sacramento and
San Francisco by boat.
The intention Of the pony express
was to carry letters only and not more
than ten pounds at trip. 1t was de-
cided that the safest and easiest mode
Of carrying the mail was to make four
pockets, one In each corner of the mo-
chila, a covering made Of heavy leath-
er for the saddles and generally used
by the expert Mexican and Spanish
riders. The mochlla was transferred
from pony to pony and went through
from st. Joseph to San Francisco. the
pockets containing the mail being lock-
ed and opened only at military posts
en- route and at Salt Lake City. These
precious letters were wrapped In oiled
silk to protect them, but even this pre-
caution sometimes failed. Rivers had
to be crossed; horse and rider swan
together.-W. O. Jenkins in National
| Magazine.
