come the first of gold-producing countries, haviag
exported, from 1849 to the close of 1866 urvard,i
of $785,000,000, all but 565,000,000 being extract/7'
from this State. The total product, up to ()etel'
ber, 1867, is estimated at a billion, the return lor
the last year being $20,000,000. The mines ntlll
wrought, besides gold, are silver, quicksilver, or
per, and coal. Tin, lead, antimony, sulphur, sin°
borax, and sulphate of magnesia are found. Pell;
leum abounds, more especially in the south, t
Mattole district. From San Francisco the silver °.
Nevada and other States is exported, and althou'ou
the Union Pacific Railroad will make some change!'
it is probable that the precious metals, more esP':
cially silver, will be continued to be directed to S3'
Francisco for export to Japan, China, and Inji3t
to which that metal usually finds its way as its be;
market. Of the population not less than 60,000 a,.
;
Chinese, whoare fast growingin favour in the lab°,iii
market, although at present they may be robbed or
murdered with impunity by a .white man, evense
in the presence of many of their countrymen, A/li%,
evidence is not receivable. On the railroads 111%,
sands are employed • in vineyards they supplant tai
whites. Without them woollen manufactures 0",,
not be carried on; to agriculture they take nti3lti,e,
rally, and all washing is in their hands. Stilj
supply of labour is not equal to the deta3„
although wages are as follows, paid in gold A
Skilled mechanics from $4 to $6 a day; farm bor,
X3O to $4O a month, with board ; wood chorreti:
pi. 50c. a cord ; female domestics, $3O a moo its
:hese advantages combine to give to Califoreiao
bright future, though they are not all. The Gol(k"ed
Gate is the gate to the Pacific, and more mantic
decided than is Sandy Hook to the At 131,113
Ocean. Straight across the Continent is the 1?Ii5,
road to every bit of land washed by the Paccio
(except the western coast of South America) lr.o,
Europe, and the northern continent of Anier.i,b,
San Francisco is a great station on a world's 111:°r3,
way, and that the road which soon will be most '
versed. It is the station to which will radilieb
lines of the Pacific Ocean ; it is the station in vl.; is I
will centre all American travel westward ; I`l,o
the station for which Europeans will aim'
journeying to any of the Pacific islands, to fit.
ern China, and the islands of the Chinese j 4
to Australia, and to New Zealand. Here, thicP,'r
an advantage that cannot be exaggerated, antyibe
haps not fully estimated. Already a line (t het
finest steamers afloat ply to Hongkong, and an°,lDa
to the Sandwich Islands. Presently a third Wl'oo,
directed to Sidney, and even now the harbour cep.
tains numerous fleets belonging to this pato
i gaged in the coasting traffic, which extends ~,b
Sitka down to the coast of South America. r'll'9o;t
has been said fully to support the assertion
,105
California is pre-eminently the land for men of, lere
and enterprise. The settler will not only fiud!ci,
a golden country, but a pleasant society, whiore
recent English traveller has declared to assuirc that
the fat, good-natured rosy English type, thaailev
of the solemn, thin, cadaverous, but more int°
tual, Eastern American.
