THE LUMBER TRADE.

Lumber men figure out that after thirty
five years OF cutting only per cent of the
available timber of the Pacific Coast has
been cut away. There are virgin forests of
fine timber all over the west coast. In fact
only the fringe of the timber of the coast
has been shorn off. Douglas fir, or Oregon
pine, and California redwood are known
and valued all over the world.
The lumber business has felt the hard
times like everything else" said Secretary
d. H. Bibb of the Golden Gate Lumber
Company, "but | am informed that there
is more building right now in contempla-
ton on the architects boards than at any
time for the last four years. We already
feel the improvement and there are indica-
tons of a gradual and sure increase of
business this year and next.
"Our Douglas fir has no equal for structu
raj purposes, bridge and ship building. 1t
is shipped to South America, Africa, Aus
tralia, China, Japan, England and France.
The demand in those countries is steadily
growing. Our redwood, for finishing pur-
poses, is also in strong demand wherever
it has been introduced. An order for
100000 feet of redwood has just been
shipped from California, consigned to Liebe
of London, the largest furniture-dealer in
the world.
There is producing capacity on this
coast Of 1000, 100000 feet of pine lumber.
The home consumption amounts to
$4,000, 600 feet annually; and the foreign
consumption, or off-shore business, to
10000, 900 feet per year. Of redwood there
is producing capacity of 50O,OOO,O00 feet;
the home consumption being 200,000,000
and the foreign 100000 COO feet.
Scattered along the Sierra Nevada
Mountains, from Siskiyou to Kern County,
are large number of small mills, engaged
in manufacturing yellow and sugar pine
and spruce lumber. Their annual capacity
is about $50, 900 feet, with a consump-
ton of about $4,000, 900 feet About 10 900
men are employed in the woods and mills
by the lumber industry, besides the large
number engaged in the shipping part of
tho hJ1 cinecS ~

one of these and the largest on the coast is
the first-named factory. It's manufacture
ing capacity is 500 barrels of -four per day,
but $50 barrels are being worked at the
present time, the capacity being larger
than the requirements. Its crackers are
exported to Mexico, Central America,
China, Japan and various islands of the
South Pacific. 1t ships goods east as far
as Salt Lake City and all over the Pacific
Coast. 1t employs directly 100 girls and
$50 men and boys in the manufacture of
crackers. The company's capital stock is
81, 100000. Every variety of crackers and
cakes known to the American or European
market is made The machinery is all the
most modern and approved and is run by
150-horsepower steam engine.
Last year that one establishment paid
out here in wages $4,000 The other two
factories also ship to foreign ports and
have large forces of men and girls en-
ployed. The cracker trade is growing
brisker now, owing to the improvement in
the times. Crackers and cakes may be
termed luxuries, and when times are dull
people do without them, so the brighten
ing up and extension of this market is
but another indication of the return of
good, healthy financial feeling.

HOr1E-r1ADE CIGARS.

One of the home industries that has
suffered in a most severe manner from the
encroachments of an Eastern manufac-
tured article and sort of prejudice against
homemade goods is the manufacture of
cigars. This prejudice was based on the
impression that Western cigars were nearly
ali of Chinese make. To show what a de-
cline this industry has taken in the past
ten years it is only necessary to say that in
1885 there were 5000 Chinese and 1000 white
men employed in making cigars in San
Francisco. The Chinese have been forced
out of the business in great numbers and
the white forces have also decreased until
to-day there are 282 factories in San Fran
cisco, seyenty-three of which are Chinese,
and only 800 white men and about double
that number of Chinese are employed. In
the revenue district comprising the terri
tory between the Sacramento River and
the Mexican line there are 480 factories.
1t is difficult to obtain the number of en-
ployes, as each manufacturer files bond
enabling him to employ fifty, while per-
haps he may employ less than ten persons.
The figures of the revenue office in this
district show the decline within the past
few years as follows: Number of cigars
manufactured for the year ending Decem-
Der 81, 1891, 95, 1874, 1853; cigarettes 2458, $40;
lOT Ic1Z, ~, IO,OOO cigars, Ii, tDo,OOU cigar
ettes for 1898, 72,943, 40 cigars, 10,608, 700
cigarettes. Correspondingly with the de-
cline of the home cigar trade the business
in the imported article has swelled up to
magnitudinous proportions.
Secretary George w. Van Guelpen of the
local district of the Cigar-makers' Inter-
national Union made the following state
ment to a CALL reporter: 1--WE on the
Pacific Coast can manufacture as good a
f..oe no
anywhere in the East. Our union has
copyrighted a label, which is a guarantee
of white workmanship on union brands,
and the most careful restrictions are main
tanned with regard to the use of this label.
Now, we have reports that show that one
certain Eastern brand sells here in San
Francisco 100000 cigars month.
"There are at least twenty other brands
that will average each about 100000
cigars month sold in this city. These
are all of the better quality of cigars which
retail at 10 cents and three for % cents.
If those cigars were manufactured on this
coast it would give employment to fully
5000 white persons, who would earn
1000 a week, or over $780, 900 a month,
nearly all of which earnings would go into
the channels of trade and remain in circu-
lation here while to-day, as all those
goods come from the East, not one cent of
such money is spent here. If home in
dustry were generally patronized when
price and quality are equal trade would
stride ahead and times would soon be

OUR MINERALS.

The mines of California are a source of
fabulous wealth, and there seems to be no
limit to their treasures. The annual gold
product of California has remained for
some years at from $12,000,000 to $13,00O,-
600; but, according to State Mineralogist
J. J. Crawford, there has been such re-
vived interest in this branch of mining
that the output will be materially in
creased. Many old properties have been
reopened and new ones developed among
the quartz mines, and about fifty hydraulic
mines, which had been unproductive for
years, are again being actively worked,
and numerous applications for permits to
mine by the hydraulic method are ON file.
This tends toward the increased output of
gold, and as more capital is invested the
annual product bids fair to reach very soon
from SIS, 900 900 to $16,000,000.
The product of silver in this State is
comparatively small, but the ores of the
principal camp, Calico, San Bernardino
County, can be worked cheaper than any
silver ores on the coast, so that these mines
continued working when silver mines in
other parts of the country were closed
down, and when silver reached its very
lowest point in value. In 1898, it is re-
markable, when silver mines were ceasing
work all over the country east of the

cutting whalebone and supplying dry-goods
houses and corset manufactures all over
the coast. The houses thus supplied by
this new home industry formerly pur-
chased all the whalebone from the East,
but substitutes for whalebone were largely
used in the West. The substitutes were
celluioid, horn, hide and steel, which at
first cost are cheaper than whalebone, but
which wear out before the dress they are
used on wears out, while good shell whale
bone will outwear a number of dresses in
succession.
Captain J. n. Knowles, the manager,
was briefly interviewed by CALL reporter
From him it was learned that the COM
pany pays out 100000 year for labor and
outfits, and all the outfits are purchased in
this market.
II may say with safety" said the cap
tain, that this company now practically
controls the whalebone bust ness of the
world. We are now shipping VIII alebone
to Eastern markets and to Europe.
Our company has other heavy interests.
cannery which we operate on Prince
Williams Sound, Alaska, puts up annually
10000 cases of salmon. This is run in
connection with our whaling business and
is vast and paying industry. We also
have an oil factory, located on the Potrero
in this city, where all kinds of lubricating
and burning oils are manufactured. Eighty
men are continuously employed there.
Our oils are shipped to all parts of the
country, and we ship whale oils largely to
the East and Europe"
The whalebone-cutting industry, being a
new one for San Francisco, short descrip-
ton of the methods employed will not
prove uninteresting.
The whalebone, in long strips, Just as it
is taken from the whales mouth, is first
soaked and cleaned and then put into
long tanks and steamed. 1t is next
stripped up with drawkhife into various
widths; cut into number of lengths; put
again INTO the steaming tank and then
split to any required degree of thinness.
A great deal of the whalebone is cut into
strips three feet long, of various weights,
thicknesses and qualities, and carefully
packed in long cylindrical boxes. The
she'll is the valuable part of the whale
bone, the grain being only of inferior
quality. All classes of bones are cut for
whips, but the shell bone is demanded for
dresses and corsets. The shell whalebone
intended for the European market is
highly polished
In order to convey an idea of the value
of whalebones it may be stated that when
crude bone was sent to New York and
Europe, shipping never less than car
load, the value per carload ranged from
$780, 900 to 100000.

UNION IRON WORKS.

The Union Iron Works has attained
national celebrity for its achievements in
the line of ship building. 1t is a man.

ployed as many as 200 men. AT present
only 1000 men are working there, but the
management reports that business is grow

Using for the Immediate future. Just now
the biggest piece of work to be seen at the
yards is the battleship Oregon, the compile
ton of which has been delayed by the
Governments failure to supply armor-
plates at the required time.
The Union Iron Works has the capacity
of laying down on its ways eight hulls at
once, from the smallest to the largest yes
sells built, and makes specially of ship
line repairing.
Among the big things that the works are
busy on at present the enumeration of a.
few will show the vastness of the enter
prise which keeps such great contract
work here on the coast to be done by our
home mechanics.
For instance, the Union Works are now
building one of the largest compound YER
tical hoisting engines in the world for the
Anaconda Copper Mining Company of
Montana. A large stamp mill is being
ndQc lOI uucAlCdA SynulCdIe,
while another large stamp mill is just
being shipped to juneau, Alaska. The
last-named mill is complete in all details,
including twelve union concentrators. A
tugboat, thirty feet long, is being con-
structed for use in the Guatemala coffee
trade Four immense steel tanks are be-
ing made for an Arizona mining company,
and the steamer Columbia is being fitted
out with a complete new set of boilers In

peculiarly arranged so as to obtain much
higher horsepower out of the boilers than
would be the case with only the natural
draught.
In electrical work the company is max
ing rapid advances. Several electrical
plants are now under way, one of them de-
signed tor the Occidental Hotel. The en-
cheering work for the Market street cleo
trio road system was done here. A while
ago, the city of Chicago had monopoly
of the copper-bond wire manufacture. The
purpose of the bond wire is to carry cur
rents around the ends of rails where the
space occurs between lengths. The Union
has already made $4,000 of those bond
wires for the California electric roads. In
this line of manufacture the works have
not only met Eastern prices, but have even
taken work away from Eastern COMPETE
tors.
Connected with the works is hydraulic
drydock, $50 feet long, which takes the
largest steamers that come into port the
being 5000 tons.

GLOVE-MAKING,

Seven of the largest glove-manufacturing
establishments in San Francisco and vicin-
ity have joined hands for their common
benefit in the Glove Manufacturers Asso-
citation. The firms enrolled in that mem
bership are: B. Blumenthal & Co., F. G.
Conkling & Co., H. Busby, H. & L. Block,
Golden Gate Glove Company, Carson Glove
Company, Raymond & Williams of Napa.
These companies employ from twenty to
fifty hands each men, women and boys,
all white labor. 1t was one of the objects
of the association to employ only white
labor. A Chinese glove works was seri-
ously talked of some time ago. but the
association prevailed upon the tanners not
to supply the Chinese with material, and
thus the Celestial glove factory was never
opened. In glove-making the men earn all
the way from 81 80 to So per day: the girls
from S. to $18 per week. Glove leather
tanned in San Francisco is used by these
manufacturers. who supply gloves not
only to the trade in every State and Terri
tory of the West, but also as far back East
as Chicago. ALI the factories in this city
are run by electric power, the old foot
power methods being relegated to the
shades.
When spoken to with reference to East
ern competition, one manufacturer said:
Eastern competition has been very keen,
and 1t is regretable fact that some San
Francisco merchants patroniZe Eastern
houses, even though the quality and price
of our goods are equal to the importation.
1t is not a desirable state of affairs when,
prices and quality equal, some merchants
place their small orders at home and buy
their big bills of goods from Eastern
agents. The CALLS championship of home
industry and home protection is most COM
medable."
The skins used in glove-making here
are goat, seal, calf, buck and dog skin, kid
and mocha. They are all tanned in San
Francisco, and a number of the tanneries
here are immense institutions, employing
hundreds of men. They ship leather very
heavily to the East. The leading tanneries
are those of the Legallet-Hellwig Tanning
Company, Sawyer & Norton, ]. G.. Rued &
Co. and s. Bloom & Sons.
1t is worthy of note that one OF the adj
vantages of California-made gloves is that
they are all made in sizes to fit, while
Eastern working-gloves are all made of a
uniform size

OUR WHALEBONE TRADE.

Few people of the coast are aware, per-
haps, of the fact that nine-tenths of all the
whalebone used in the world is brought
into the port of San Francisco, and yet
such is the case, and it has been so for the
last fifteen years. Most of the whaling
vessels are now owned and controlled in
this city. A few whalers still hail from
New Bedford, Mass, which was at one
time the great whaling port, but New Bed
ford's glory is thing of the past, and San
Francisco now wears the laurels.
One of the vast enterprises of this city
and coast is represented by the Pacific
Steam Whaling Company. 1t has a capt.
tai of 100000, and owns and controls
twelve steamers and four sailing vessels,
that are used in the fishing and canning
business. Most of the fleet was built here
in San Francisco, and the vessels are fitted
out from here every year. Altogether
there are fully 1000 men in the employ of
the Pacific Steam Whaling Company. In
former years the product of whalebone
landed by the ships here was transported
to New York and thence to Europe, where
it was manufactured for the dress, corset
and whip trade. During the past year this
has established a factory here at
80 California street, and is now engaged in
