SO 1t happens that all these terrible
scaTecrows are losing their effect. Capital

Will follow. 1t is hardly necessary to do
more than point out some of the exceptional
features offered the wide-awake investor
by this rich and undeveloped State.

the early days rock under $40 ton would

So DRIFT and 81 hydraulic are "bonanzas."
Gold bearing quartz veins are principally
found on the western slope of the Sierra
Nevada, all the way from Plumas to Mari
pOsa, and in the northern counties of
Shasta, Siskiyou, Trinity. Humboldt and
Del Norte. There are also many lodges
In San Bernardino and San Diego counties.
Besides gold, there are valuable deposits

been fully demonstrated. The season be-

ever since. True, there was an intermis,

The shpbuilding interest is one that

storms are few and far between. Califor-

transportation, and for that capital is now
being offered.
Statistics, as a rule, are readily available
for the capitalist, but the following,
selected at baphazard from an authorita-

gricuiture, with its great divisions of vine
and fruit culture, finds a natural home in
California. For 1892 the Department of
Agriculture reports that in the production
of wheat California ranked fourth in area,
second in value of product, and first in
price per bushel. California pro duces
more barley yearly than any other State
in the Union. while the possibilities for
oats, rye, Indian and Egyptian corn with
other cereals are not yet realized. Special

branches of agriculture are almost ne

of them do not require large capital, and
may be referred to hereafter under another
caption as worthy the attention of the
small capitalist
But the large variety of such occupations
available will at once suggest another field
for the large capitalist. Human needs are
very much the same all over the world.
For instance, homes are required and the
immense vistas Of real estate, loan assocl-
tons. building societies at once open be-
fore the eyes. Modern conveniences are
modern necessities, and the opportunity
of the importer, the universal provider,
the cooperative storekeeper looms up be-
fore intelligence. Water is a necessity for

of promise. The opportunities for sound,
| practical education in California are
marked by some special advantages which
may be briefly summarized as follows:
l. The unprecedented hberalty and absolute
adequacy of its provision for good free school
of not less than eight months annually in every
district OF the State.
2. The system which extends high school ia
ellitrs to every corner of the school district.
3. The provision for excellent public school
libraries in every district of the State.
4. The economical and admirable provision
for the supply of textbooks TO the pupils of the
State.
.. The generous provision for the instruction
and training OF teachers III normal schools and
county institutes.
6. The magnificent and richly endowed uni.
verSty at Berk eley, which crowns the school
educational structure.
z. The completeness of the machinery for the
effective administration by proper officers OF
the whole system.
8. The university at Palo Alto, made great
by private endowment, and in the high charac-
ter and large numbers OF Its remaining colleges
and private schools.
