CARRIAGE MANUFACTORY OF WM. P. MILLER.
This is one of the oldest established carriage factories on this coast, having been located by Mr. Miller on the present site, corner California and Channel streets in the year 1852. Building and repairing heavy freight wagons was the speciality of work done, until the business of freighting goods to the southern mines from this place was discon- tinued. Since then he has accomodated his factory to the manufacture of light carriages, stage wagons, etc., building work that will compare in quality of material and excellence of finish with that of any other manufacture in the United States. In 1868 he replaced the wooden building that had been used for the smith shop, with a brick building 50x56 ft. two stories high, with a basement below for storage of coal and iron. The capacity of the factory is about 400 vehicles a year. Thoroughness and skill in construction and the highest grade of mater- ials are the prominent features of the products of this place.

CARRIAGE MANUFACTORY OF M. P. HENDERSON.
Since September 28th, 1874, Mr. Henderson has been the sole pro- prietor of the carriage manufactory started by Henderson & Clark in 1869. The establishment is devoted to the manufacture of carriages, buggies and spring wagons. Jobbing and blacksmithing are also car- ried on to a considerable extent. About seventy-five vehicles of all kinds are annually turned out. The work done and the material used by Mr. Henderson is of the very best. Premiums have from time to time been awarded him by the State Agricultural Society, San Fran- cisco Mechanic's Institute, and the San Joaquin Agricultural Society. He employs on an average, about fifteen men. The establishment is situated on the corner of Weber avenue and California street.
PLANING MILL.
The mill of White & Thomas is located on Hunter street, between Main and Market, the proprietors being the successors to A. Wash- burn. They have been in business four years and in their present location since January, 1877. They do all kinds of mill work, such as sawing, planing, turning, mouldings, scroll work, wire work, etc., man- ufacture doors, sash and blinds. They are also proprietors of a patent , roofing known as the "Metropolitan Chemical Combination," which has proved to be a very valuable roofing material. The mill employs on an average, fifteen men, and is doing a thriving business.
CHAIR FACTORY ..
Several years ago Messrs. J. S. Jarvis and A. Wilder established themselves in the business of manufacturing flag and rawhide chairs, which has increased until it has now become quite a lucrative business. Mr. A. Wilder is at present the sole proprietor, and manu- factures and deals in rawhide chairs exclusively. He manufactures a large number annually and ships them to all parts of the State. For kitchen chairs, farmers prefer them to any other kind, on account of their durability. The factory is on Main street, one door east of Cali- fornia, next to Humphrey's planing mill.
WINDMILLS.
Stockton has been termed in olden times "THE CITY OF WINDMILLS," and it must be understood she does not dodge the charge, but, on the contrary, acknowledges the soft impeachment.
There are two windmill manufactories in the city. First-that known as the the " Relief Windmill," manufactured by A. M. Abbott,
15

at the corner of Main and California streets. The proprietor claims for his invention these facts :
For durability, cheapness, simplicity and stength it has no equal in the market. The plunger moves with an exact perpendicular motion, thereby avoiding all rattling or chafing and wearing of the pump or mill. The regulating attachments to the weather vane are very simple in their construction, consisting of two weights and a chain and so con- structed as to be of the most durable nature, withstanding the elements for a long period. The turn-table is also constructed in the most simple and durable manner, and moves with the greatest ease, allowing it to revolve with the slightest breeze. The tower upon which the mill is mounted, is so nicely fitted and constructed that any part of it can be removed for repairing the pump or other parts, without the necessity of tearing the mill down and rebuilding. In addition to the manufac- ture of windmills, Mr. Abbott makes tanks and pumps.
STOCKTON CITY MILLS.
These mills were first put in operation in 1852, long before Califor- nia became a wheat producing State. From a comparatively small and primitive affair they have grown, and their capacity has been increased until they are now nearly equal to any flouring establishment in the State. The proprietors, Messrs. Sperry & Co., are gentlemen of great exper- ience. and active business qualifications. The mill building is four stories in hight, and, with the storehouse, occupies a ground space 200x- 200 feet. Six run of stone have until recently been in operation, but increasing demands for their superior flour have induced the proprie- tors to add five run of stone more making eleven in all, and they will adopt what is known in the East as the "new process" of milling, en- abling them to manufacture a still finer article of flour than at present. The machinery throughout is of the most approved kind, and is driven by an engine of two hundred horse power. The boilers are tubular and three in number. With the six run of stone the mill has been en- abled to turn out 700 barrels of flour and 20 tons of ground barley every twenty-four hours. During the greater part of the year the mill is kept running night and day and requires a working force of 35 men. In the year 1877, 100,000 barrels of flour were manufactured. In ad- dition to this, 6,000 tons of barley and 1,000 tons of corn were ground. Mr. S. W. Sperry manages the affairs of the mill in this city ; Austin Sperry remains most of the time in San Francisco, and has an office at No. 22 California street, where orders receive the same attention they would here.

STOCKTON PAPER MILLS.
Among the recently established enterprises in Stockton, as well as one of the largest and most important, is the one named above. It is owned and operated by a joint stock company, incorporated under the laws of California, under the name of the California Paper Company. The officers are: Egbert Judson, President; Albert Dibblee, Vice- President; Eugene Cooper, Secretary; Bank of California, Treasurer. Principal office, No. 10 California street, San Francisco. The mill is substantially built of brick and is 160x175 feet. It is situated on the south bank of Mormon Channel, near the Stockton Woolen Mills. The machinery is of the very best, and is driven by an engine of one hundred and fifty horse power. Printing and wrapping paper of ex- cellent quality, and pasteboard only, are manufactured at present, though the manufacture of the finer qualities of paper will doubtless become a part of the business eventually. The present capacity of the mill is 8,000 pounds of printing paper, 4,000 pounds of wrapping paper and 4,000 pounds of board, daily. When running with a full com- plement of hands, fifty men, fifteen women and fifteen boys are employed. The Company has an abundance of capital, and is man- aged by first-class business men.
PACIFIC AGRICULTURAL WORKS.
In 1875. the Pacific Agricultural Works were established on the corner of California and Lafayette streets, by G. Lissenden and H. C. Norris, doing business under the firm name of G. Lissenden & Co. Both proprietors are practical mechanics who personally supervise their shops. The establishment is well supplied with. the most ap- proved machinery for turning out all kinds of agricultural implements, including plows, cultivators, harrows, scrapers, etc. The repairing of all kinds of farming machinery is given particular attention, as well as the manufacture of the same to order. A specialty is made of the sulky plows "Star of California" and the riding gang plow "Star of the West." McCall's mammoth road scrapers are manufactured at this establishment. The celebrated combined header, thresher and separ- ator is also manufactured by Lissenden & Co., and they are about completing a contract for thirteen of the machines for the inventors, J. C. Holt and David Young, of this county. The establishment gives employment to twelve men and is doing a good business.

DAVIS' WINDMILLS.
For the last twenty years Mr. John S. Davis has been engaged in manufacturing windmills of a pattern invented by himself, which he has improved upon from time to time, but has never patented, until he now has one of the best mills extant. One of the principal advan- tages it posesses over many other mills is that the wind acts with equal force upon the whole length of the fan at all times, or in other words, the power is equally distributed. Mr Davis manufactures the mills to order, and for the last five or six years has made and sold an average of sixty per year. . Mr. Davis also manufactures the celebrated Compound Hay Press, which has a good. reputation among farmers, and has taken the premium at several of our District Fairs. His shop is on the west side of Commerce street, between Main and Levee.
TANNERIES-PACIFIC TANNERY.
This is the largest tanning establishment on the Pacific Coast at the present time, notwithstanding it started from a humble beginning and has been three times destroyed by fire. It is situated at the in- tersection of Oak and El Dorado streets, is built of brick and is sup- plied with every convenience requisite for successfully carrying on the business. Messrs. M. and H. Kullman, Jacob Salz and Charles Wag- ner are the preprietors, the co-partnership being known under the name of Kullman, Wagner & Co. The principal leather manufactured is harness and sole leather and skirtings, with a smaller amount of calf and kips. The product of the establishment amounts annually to from $150,000 to $200,000. The number of employees average thirty dur- ing the year. The firm have an office and store in San Francisco, which is under the supervision of M. and H. Kullman.
PIONEER TANNERY.
The tannery bearing this name is situated on the corner of Sacra- mento and Flora streets, near the Insane Asylum. Jacob C. Wagner is the proprietor and employs an average annually of fifteen men. The product of the tannery amounts to about $70,000.
CITY TANNERY.
Edward Kartschoke is the proprietor of the above establishment, which is located on the south side of Mormon Channel, on the corner of Hunter street and Scott's avenue. Though smaller than either of the other tanneries it did a fair amount of work until March, 1878, when the greater part of it was burned down, entailing a loss upon the proprietor of about $5,000. It will probably be rebuilt during the present year.

LANE'S MILLS.
The establishment bearing the above name was started in 1854 by R. B. Lane, who has continuously carried on the business ever since. The mill contains six sets of burr stones, run by steam, and has a ca- pacity for turning out 200 barrels of flour, 50 barrels of corn meal and 20 tons of ground feed daily. Fifteen men are employed.
STOCKTON FURNITURE MANUFACTORY.
S. H. Fickett & Co. are the projectors and proprietors of the above establishment, and commenced work in January, 1878. The business is carried on in a three-story building situated on Main street, near Grant. Every kind of furniture is manufactured, and finds a ready market, not only in this city, but in San Francisco, to which latter point shipments are constantly being made. At the factory, in addition to the manufacture of furniture, all kinds of scroll and bracket work, and the turning of croquet sets and billiard balls are specialities. Fifteen men are employed at present, all of them skilled mechanics.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Stockton can boast of one of the best organized and most efficient Fire Departments of any city in California or elsewhere. It is almost exclusively composed of steady and industrious men, who are good firemen. While there is a rivalry, as a matter of course, between the different companies it extends only to testing the efficiency of each and has never been characterized by the disgraceful rioting and rowdyism which in some American cities have tended to make the name of "fireman" a by-word and reproach. The Department has never been in a better condition than it is at the present time. It is well supplied with all the needful apparatus and is officered by men who thoroughly under- stand their duties.
Following are the officers whose terms expire on the 1st of Septem- ber next : Chief Engineer, Pope Mountjoy ; First Assistant, Henry Eshbach : Second Assistant, John Buckley.
