Read the text below, from a book written by gold miner William Shaw.

“The following morning we went to a store, and opened an account for provisions and the needful implements; the following were the items of our bill

A Rocker — 30 dollars; Space, Shovel, Pick-axe, and two Tin Pans — 18 dollars; 12lb. of Biscuit, 12lb. of Salt Pork and Beef, 4lb. of Frijoli, and 6lb. of Flour — 50 dollars; a Frying-pan, Sauce-pan, and two Tin Mugs — 12 dollars. Thus our first Stock in Business cost us 110 dollars.”

What did Shaw pay for his food supplies?
