THE PACIFIC MAIL STEAMSHIP COM |
PANY.
This company, the largest of all the
American Steamship Companies, own
and have in service 81 ocean steam
ships. The total length of the several
routes of this company is 1890 nauti-
cal miles. The Panama route was es-
tablshed twenty-five years ago. In
1867 the China and Japan route was
inaugurated, and in September, 1872,
the p. M. S. S. Co. bought the North
Pacific Transportation Company's
route to San Pedro (the port of Los
Angeles), San Diego and way ports.
The transfer of this route to the p. M.
S. S. Co. has resulted in great benefit
to Los Angeles county, by increasing
the facilities for business and by
cheapening the rates of transportation
of both passengers and freight. Dur
ing the first year of the occupancy of
this route by the p. M. S. S. Co., the
wine interest of Los Angeles county
saved 81, 200 in freight on the $4,000
gallons wine shipped direct to New
York. and, though but 2S2 tons of
wool were forwarded East under
through bills of lading during the
same time, $1,000 of freight money
was saved on chat. Had the Pacific
Mail Company not owned the Coast
line, this could not have been accom-
plished. But, although the benefits
and Improvements in this service in
augurated by the company in the past
have been great, their plans for the
future embrace greatly increased fa-
cilities for the people of this section.
The steamers have a wide reputation
as most comfortable passenger ships,
are officered by gentlemen and are
kept in the best possible condition.
They dispatch q passenger steamer
about every five days from their i'm
mense covered dock, foot of Brannen

bara, Los Angeles and San Diego.

To reach Los Angeles from the
