COST $7000 TO
FIND AMERICA
i
CHKYENE, Wyo., It cost $70uu to'
. discover America, the United States
' general land office estimated follow*
ing research work done in some of the
ancient museums of Genoa, Italy, the
port from which the memorable expo
I dition set sail.
Employees of the surveyor general
’s office here have received from
Washington a booklet published by
the department which sheds some in
teresting light on the matter of fin
ancing the voyage of discovery, and
.vhich indicate that $7000 was the to
tal amount Queen Isabella was com
pclled to secure by hypothecating her
jewelery. The value of the Columbia
‘ fleet is placed at something like $3.
000, the tiny caravals having been ap
. praised at $1000 each by the marine
; experts of that day.
Columbus received a compensat or*
of $300 a year while on the voyage,
according to the musty records on file
. at Genoa, while two of his captains
received $200 per annum. The pay of
th<* ordinary seaman of that day was
apparently nothing lavish, as the re
cord indicates that the sailors of the
I expedition were paid at the rate of
>2.50 a month. The remainder of th'»
i $7,000 was expended for such items as
• ship supplies, food, and other inciden
! ;a!s.
The total sum spent in getting the
. -‘xpedition together would hardly buy
j i 30-foot gasoline schooner today, sep
1 faring folks say.

pendent of the keeper of the Hospital
Jeusu,v an annex to the temple of the

mentary evidence that in 18211, when
patriotic zealots planned to take fore
hie possession of Cortes* remains,
ihey weiv saved from violation uni
were later returned to their original
testing place beneath the main altar

and others in Naples, Italy.

continued after his death near Seville,
I Spain in 1547. He was buried in th
chapel of a monastery near SeviPe.
but in 1562, in accordance with hi*
will and by order of his son, the re

the Mexico City suburb of Coyoacar.
