TIME WHEN FOREIGN COMMERCE WAS BEGUN

It was not until 1866 that a steamer en-
gagged in the trade of the Pacific Islands
from San Francisco. Then the steamer
Ajax made the pioneer steamer trip to the
Hawaiian Islands. In January of the sue
ceeding year the steamer Colorado depart
ed from this port on the first regular
steamer trip to China.
AS early as 1854 however, and occasion
ally for several years earlier, there were
steamers running along the coast, and
regular trips were also made as far north
as Vancouver Island In 1854 company
began to send coal down from BellingHam
Bay, and, in the same year, the Russian
American Commercial Company brought
down it's first cargo Of ice from Sitka,
Alaska.
As early as 1851 Ferdinand VaSsault and
others brought ice to San Francisco on
the ship Lucas from Boston. Five nun
dred tons of ice were brought on one Trip
and also 100 barrels of apples When the
vessel reached San Francisco only 2l2
tons of the ice were left, but that sold at
121b cents per pound and, as the apples
nefted S35 per barrel the venture brought
in a profit of nearly $4O.OOO.
This success prompted the sending OF
the Lucas to Sitka for cargo of ice, but
the Russians charged >i5 per ton for load
ing and the Lucas came back empty, but
then the Russian American Commercial
Company being active, an arrange
nnent was made with the Russian Govern
ment which insured the necessary profit
on the ice business to have it continue for
some time.
The Isthmus Route.
The construction of the Panama road
was DELAYED by various reasons until 1855.
Then began what was supposed to be the
fastest service that California could have
TO New York. The success of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company was largely in
creased by the Panama road and new and
larger ships were put on. The time from
San Francisco to New York, by the Pan
anna route, was about twenty-five days.
which was called schedule time. Up to the
opening of the transcontinental roads in
1863 nearly all the mails from the East
came by Panama.
The coming of a steamer was always an
important event. as it brought the latest
news from the East Outgoing steamers
frequently carried much as 81, 600. 900
at one trip in dust: bullion or coin. The
steamer day" originated that period.
which has for many years been peculiar
to California.

An Accessory Transit Company grew
out of a contract made with the Nicara-

and other capitalists of New York. to
establish route of travel across Nicara-
qua between the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans. The original project was to build
a ship canal In 1850 the contract with
Nicaragua was amended and then the

This scheme having been dropped. be-
cause of impracticabllity at that time,
White secured from Nicaragua a charter
for a transit route. Steamers were put
on between San Francisco and Nicaragua,
the Pacific and the independence. and
they began to run regularly in 1852. At
first the steamers went to Realjo. but
finally their destination was San Juan del
Sur-as soon the road was built from
Virgin Bay to the ocean.
A Rival Line.
In time this route was formidable
rival of the Panama line, for there was
a saving of about 700 miles of sea travel
by the Nicaragua way. Eventually the
charter of the Vanderbilt company was
declared to be forfeited this being the
outcome of plotting by Nicaragua

$50 ships and barks manned by Is 900 sea-
men and the capital invested was not less
than $2O, 600. In 1858 there were 275 of
these vessels that visited the Hawaiian
Islands for repairs and supplies. Thev
were manned by 5000 seamen MANY
whalers found their fishing grounds in the
far north and passed by California al
together
The objection that the whalers found
to wintering in San Francisco Bay was
the pilot charge of $S per foot while the
charge at the Hawaiian Islands was only
81 per foot. On Governor Bigler's recon-
mendation bill was passed that allowed
Whalers to enter and depart from the port
without paying pilotage; except that when
they engaged pilot the charge was to
be 81 per foot. San Francisco eventually
became the main source of supply for the
quarters. ~

There are two of them, but as John e. w.
Stange runs them both you will surely
get welcome at either. They are two
of the most noted hostelries on East
street and during the past year or SO hays
come into prominence owing to quality of
the wines, liquors and beer supplied the
patrons.
John E. w. STANCE, who started these
wholesale and retail establishments. came
to San Francisco many years ago on the
ship George Stetson. Later he made ;;
number of coasting trips and then ioInec

thirty-seven trips to Honolulu. Then he
decided to remain ashore and take unto

co-operated at the Isthmus of Panama
under a traffic agreement to the exclu-
sion of all other lines, so that competl-
ton by that route for the Golden Gate
had seemed to be beyond hope. But the
Panama Railroad Company was advised
by the Iohnson-Locke Mercantile Com
pany of the situation in San Francisco,
asked whether they would enter into
competition with the transconttnental
lines i'll connection with line of steam
erS to be run from San Francisco to the
iSthmus.
After some negotiations in which the
Traffic Association of California took
part, the Panama road agreed to com
pete and to put a line of steamers on
the Atlantic, to connect at the isthmus
with line to be put on by the San Fran
cisco commercial community.

Louis Sloss & Co. furnished the first
steamer to run on this new line, the ST.
Paul, which was chartered by the North
American Navigation Company. That
steamer went out through the Gate on
the 9Th day of March 1893. The water
front took a lively interest in this sailing.
for the significance of the fight that was
now fairly on was well in view. What it
meant to the shipping of San Francisco
and to the commerce of the port was as
plain as pike staff.
1t is familiar history to the people how
the North American Navigation Company
ran for period and was discontinued. A
practical demonstration of the strength
of the commercial position of San Fran
cisco and of her power to right wrongs
against her was demonstrated. With that
demonstration it may be fairly said that
the present era of shipping and San Fran
cisco's commerce was appropriately ush-
cred in.

The first vessel of the competing clip
per line to arrive at San Francisco was
the Charles E. Moody, which came in No
vember 1893. Other events had taken
place which were, of the first Importance
in determining the ultimate success of
the attempts that were being made to
emancipate the shipping interests of this
port
1t should be said in passing that after
the Merchants Shipping Association
The San Francisco call., 1901-12-15

discontinued the Cape Horn service
under their own management it was
taken UP by Grace & Co. and was car
ried on successfully. The collapse of the
great TranscontInental Association,
which took place before the fight
instituted by San francisco in its
own behalf had come to an end, was at
tributed by competent observers to have
been due primarily and directly to the
competing Cape Horn line.
The rate cutting via Cape Horn natu-
rally affected the rail rates on all COM
modities that could safely and profitably
be brought in by sea. The railroads,
already restive at the gage of battle
which the commercial community had
boldly thrown down, were destined to see
their scheme of tying UP the isthmus
route as against San Francisco come to
an end.
Early in 1892 news was received that
there had been falling out between the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company and the
Panama Railroad Company. These lines

means were taken to open up the port to
commerce without restriction imposed by
the overland carriers. The first point of
attack was the clipper monopoly by way
of Cape Horn.
In May, 1892, the Merchants Shipping
Association was formed in San Francisco.
The organizers were the following firms.
Dunham, Carrigan & Hayden Company,
Baker & Hamilton, Huntington, Hopkins
& Co., Miller, Sloss & Scott, A. Craw-

SINEWS OF WAR
ARE LARGE

S compared with the year
4 1900, in which of all min
erals produced there were
$50, ,622, ,o45, while no statis-
tics have yet been compiled
for this year, it is safe to as
sumo that with the opening
UP of the many new mines,
coupled with a longer season,
& marked increase in produc-
ton will be shown in almost
every mineral.
Noticeably is this the case
with copper, Of which there
was produced in 1900 &c.
575,512 pounds, of total
value of $4,748, ,242, and
which will again be second
only to gold on the list of
mineral productions. Many
Lew copper mines have been
opened during the past year,
and new smelters erected.
At this time the gold pro-
duction cannot be estimated.
Undoubtedly a larger produc-
ton will be shown than in the
year 1900, which amount
ed to S15, 1868, ,255, much of
the increase coming from
Southern and Northern Cali
fornia. A large amount of the
gold produced in the latter
section is being combined
with the copper ores and OBJ
tanned from those quartz
mines which have shipped
their production as a fux to
copper smelters.
