SEVEN THOUSAND TO
 DISCOVER AMERICA
Queen Isabelle Got This Amount for Jewels, Land Office Reports
 Have Revealed.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. 1S.-It cost $7,000 to discover America, the United States general land office es- timated, following research work done in some of the ancient museums of Genoa, Italy, the port from which the memorable expedition set sail.
 Employees of the surveyors gen erals office here have received from Washington booklet published by the department which sheds some in teresting light on the matter of fin ancing the voyage of discovery. and which indicates that s7,0OO was the total amount Queen Isabella was was compelled to secure by hypothe. eating her jewelry.- The value of the Columbia fleet is placed at some. thing like$3,000, the tiny caravans having been appraised at $1,0OO each by the marine experts of that day.
 Columbus received compensation of $500 per year while on the voyage, according to the musty records on file at Genoa, while two of his cap tains received $200 per annum. The pay of the ordinary seaman of that day was apparently nothing lavish as the records indicate that the sail ors of the expedition were paid at the rate of $250 per month. The remain der of the $7,000 was expended for such items as ships supplies, food, and other incidentals
 The total sum spent in getting he expedition together would hardly buy a 30-foot gasoline schooner to- lay, sea-faring folks say
