The Expensive Columbus.

The discovery Of America cost a lit
tie more than $1,000, at least so say
some documents that were found in
the archives of Genoa. These docu-
ments give the value of Columbus first
fleet as $1,000. The great admiral was
paid a salary of $500 a year. the two
captains who accompanied him re-
ceived salary of 500 each, and the
members of the crew were paid at the
rate OF $50 a month each.
