When Mr. Clark decided to farm and run a cable ferry at what was
afterwards so well known as Clark's Crossing on the Saskatchewan he
made estimates of the cost, which are now before the writer. In consid-
ering the values, the distance from Winnipeg to the Crossing must be
taken into account. Mr. Clark built the scow himself.

The estimate for the scow 32 feet long, 12 feet broad and 2 feet deep
provided for 2,374 feet of lumber at $40 a thousand, $94.96; 900 feet of
cable at 121/2c a foot, $112.50; spikes say 1,000, at 3c a pound, $2.40;
other iron say $10-total cost not counting work, $219.86. He also esti-
mated for a ferry 40 feet long, 14 feet wide and 2 feet deep. This called
for 3,260 feet of lumber at the cost of $130.40, and other items were
freight on cable $24, manilla rope $10, pulleys, etc., an item of $30 for his
own labor which he put down at $2 a day for 15 days. There was also
an additional item of $10 for tar and hemp for packing the scow. The
total for the larger ferry being $384.90.

This was the cost of the famous ferry which was seen and used by
so many in the Rebellion of 1885.
