day The pony express was part OF
a mail line between New York and
San Francisco. Between ST. Joseph,
Mo- the western terminus of the rail
way, and Sacramento the distance was
traversed by horsemen mounted on
swift and durable ponies, each OF
whom travelled sixty miles and then
turned over his mail bags to another
The weight carried was not to exceed
ten pounds, and the charge was So

letter or parcel weighing an ounce,
which is now carried for two cents,
cost $40 in the days of the pony ex-
press BY the aid of the pony car
riers the distance between New York
and San Francisco was covered in IA
days-a truly : remarkable perform
ance, considering the vast distance
and the character of the country COW
cred by the brave riders. The horse
men were in constant danger in many
sections of the route from hostile
Indians, but they were well paid, their
salary being S1,200Iper month. The
pony express lasted two years, but was
abandoned when the telegraph line
across the continent was completed
