THIRTY years ago California was q
Mexican province. In 1s47 1t became q
part Of the United States, and in 1915
gold was discovered at Suffers Mill
Since then the progress oil the State hsl
been the marvel Of modern times. Til
within very few years the mineral Ie-
sources Of California have been the MAR
stimulus to its prosperity, and the devel-
opment Of its agriculture Is now alike re-
markable both In the amount and Valu(
Of the producs. The San Francisco
Bulletin Of the 10th ult. gives, as a carefu
estimate Of the wealth created the presen'
year from this source, the following fig
ures:
Wheat barley. eats and corn. $50, 900. O0t
Hay, wool, wine, fruit and dairy. IS.0o0,0.t
Miscellaneous Items. S,0OO,0C
TotAl.... .,......................S IVOU,UV'
The Bulletin thinks the actual RESULT
will exceed rather than fall below THU
estimate, The product Of the mines will
be about $2OOOOOOO, and Of numbering
and manufacturing $4,000 OO-makiDl
u total Of $10l 100000.
