California is about 700 miles long by abou, 80 wide
and lies between Oregon the north and the State OF
Sonora Mexico on the south. and between the Rocky
Mountains the east, and the Pacific Ocean on the
west. The dividing line between Upper and Lower
California varies but little from the boundary
agreed upon with Mexico so that hereafter Upper may
be called american and Lower Mericaa California The
face of the country is very much broken and IS full OF
small sand deserts. No part OF il is really nj for agr
culture except the valley of the Sacramento, and that
il very unhealthy indeed The other valleys are very
small-not exceeding one mile square-and they are
few and far between at that. There are some quick
silver mines two OF which are being worked It's be
lieved that Gold and Coal be found in considerable
quantity but as yet none has been discovered.
The principal (ctes you perhaps hnk) towns or ra-
Their villages are The City OF Angels, Monterey, san
Francisco and Sonora the last two OF which have been
much filed up by emigrants. The Calfornians are d
lazy but hospitabe people, very fond OF gambling

principal amusement. The labor-such as is done-is
