COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION.
The transition which San Francisco has undergone within the short period of twenty- seven years has been so wonderful, so utterly beyond all precedent, that it seems to be more like a tale in the "Arabian Night's Entertainments" than a record of actual history. In 1847 it was but a scanty collection of adobe huts, scattered about in apparent confusion, and nestling amidst a mass of scrub oaks and desolate sand hills. To-day it occupies the proud position of being the third most important maritime port of the United States, bustling with life, energy and commercial greatness; its miles upon miles of streets adorned with elegant and substantial buildings; its noble harbor crowded with the ship- ping of all nations; its wealth and importance recognized the world over, and its future promising even more startling results than its past in the same space of time. Institutions of learning and scientific research, in all departments, abound, and are multiplying rap- idly. Rich endowments have been bestowed upon them, and on the broad face of the earth there is not a city more prosperous and progressive. In 1874 she paid to the Fed- eral Government for Customs on imports the large sum of nearly eight millions of dollars, and for freight charges on imports and exports over twelve millions. During the same year this port was visited by 4,204 vessels, representing 1,553,500 tons, as indicating the maritime commerce it already enjoys. The gain in this respect over 1873 was 557 more vessels, and 260,116 increased number of tons. Her steam fleet arrivals registered 275,268 tons, being a gain for the year of 59,429 tons, and 91,818 tons in three years. We exported in 1874 eleven million centals of wheat, valued at nearly $15,000,000 gold coin, and imported merchandise to the value of $31,500,000. Of treasure San Francisco exported over $30,000,000, and in merchandise $28,000,000. Her receipts from domestic resources comprise 40,000,000 pounds of wool, 5,000,000 gallons of good wine, $36,000,000 in treasure, and immense quantities of other articles. Her lumber trade required the importation of 253,500,000 feet, exclusive of ships' knees, railroad ties, spars, laths, shin- gles, etc. Her trade with domestic Pacific ports has kept pace with the expansion of com- merce in other directions, the increase in the tonnage so engaged being 124,336 tons over 1873. During the past year our population has been augmented from outside sources 62,000 souls, and the tide of immigration is pouring in with additional velocity. As an evidence of the heavy financial transactions that occurred in San Francisco during the past year it is only necessary to state that mining share stocks were dealt in to the extent of $260,000,000; that in conjunction dividends were disbursed to the amount of $25,000,000; that real estate transactions reached $24,000,000, and that the Mint coined over $27,000,000. These are only some of the results obtained in the very short space of twenty-seven years, there being many others of importance which we have no space to mention in detail; but they are enough to convince the intelligent that a most brilliant future awaits this city and State.

PREFACE.
OVERLAND TRAFFIC.
The growing immensity of the Overland carrying trade, as evinced by returns com- piled by the Central Pacific Railroad Company, may be gathered from the rapidity of its progress. The railroads have been less than five years in operation, and the commence- ment of the traffic was necessarily slow. Many distant interior points with which we had very limited business connection, and many more that were entirely in the hands of Eastern merchants, had to be reached and controlled by our own people through the agency of the Trans-Continental Railroad. The little ball then set in motion has assumed such gigantic proportions that its future will be, undoubtedly, of the most vital importance to every interest in this State. Shipments eastward in 1872 were 65,284,000 pounds; in 1873 they were increased by only 9,000,000 pounds, their aggregate being 72,451,000 pounds; but in 1874 they went up to 149,000,000 pounds, or 5,000,000 pounds more than a gain of 100 per cent. Of this increase San Francisco had 58,000,000 pounds more than the year pre- ceding. We have no means of ascertaining the amounts of merchandise received overland from the East, but it is reasonable to presume that they were correspondingly large. The returns furnished by the railroad company are very suggestive, as they show what particu- lar classes of our products are required by Eastern consumers. A few of the leading items of freight, chiefly of California production, will prove of interest to the inquirer. Barley shipments have been enormously increased. In 1873 the trade sent forward 1,217,000 pounds, while only for the last quarter of 1874 not less than 37,896,423 pounds of this cereal were shipped. Of borax, shipments in 1873, 619,449 pounds; do. in 1874, 1,497,860 pounds. Of canned goods, chiefly fruits, in 1873, 658,185 pounds; in 1874, 1,132,291 pounds. Of dried fruits, in 1873, we sent East less than 100,000 pounds, yet in 1874 the amount was swelled up to 1,354,385 pounds. The hop shipments for 1873, by rail, 320,000 pounds; in 1874, 794,186 pounds. Of leather, in 1873, 159,169 pounds, and in 1874, 753,739 pounds. An increase of lumber of about 1,500,000 feet; of malt, an increase over the year previous, 1,811,567 pounds; of unspecified merchandise, an increase of 6,000,000 pounds, as compared with 1873. Of salmon, 6,432,021 pounds, showing an increase of 3,000,000 pounds, as compared with 1873. Syrup shipments in 1874, 4,000,000 pounds more than in 1873. Of sealskins, 1,473,860 pounds in 1874,
Of tea we have sent East overland, in three years past, about 36,000,000 pounds, and equally divided, notwithstanding the very large amount turned off via Panama by the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. This one fact alone speaks volumes in favor of the Overland route for the carrying of teas-a saving in time of fully twenty if not thirty days; besides the teas are fresher and better every way for not being exposed twice to the tropics. The increased carrying trade in California wines is noticeable, being nearly 5,000,000 pounds against 7,000,000 pounds for the two years preceding. As for wool, shipments by rail for 1874, 30,000,000 pounds; 1873, 26,000,000 pounds; 1872, 17,675,000 pounds. On the other side, we mark a great falling off in coffee. Shipments to the East in 1872, 1,559,558 pounds; 1873, 4,101,836 pounds; in 1874, 923,353 pounds. The reason for this falling off of 3,000,000 pounds last year was owing to the heavy imports and East- ern panic, causing prices on the Atlantic to drop much lower than on the Pacific slope; consequently buyers in Chicago and St. Louis could purchase their coffee cheaper in Bal- timore or New York than in San Francisco.
If these gathered evidences of surprising progress do not demonstrate the immense benefits conferred by the Overland Railroad we know of nothing that can.
SHIP BUILDING.
One of the most important elements in the progress of a great maritime port is the ship building industry, and it is gratifying to know that in this particular San Francisco is beginning to develop a deep interest. During 1874 thirty-two vessels, aggregating 2,392
11
PREFACE.
registered tons, were built in this Customs District, and many more of large tonnage were launched from the shipyards of Puget Sound and other northern places, for San Francisco owners. Accurate calculations, based upon the sums actually paid on inward and outward freights for 1874, prove that the amount paid for that service alone was in the neighbor- hood of $12,000,000. Taking the increased disbursements for freight charges that have occurred year by year, and adopting that as a criterion, we shall, at the same rate, be com- pelled to pay over $100,000,000 gold coin, by the close of 1879, and as nearly the whole of this service is performed by ships owned at the East and in foreign countries, it is obvious that this enormous amount will find its way into the pockets of such owners instead of those of our own people. It is, therefore, a signal service that is being rendered to the community by our ship builders. The question of superiority of timber for that purpose has been elaborately discussed, experimented upon, and decided in our favor. The facilities of this coast are unsurpassed for the prosecution of this business, and the climate is all that could be desired.
MANUFACTURES.
Probably no country on the globe possesses more natural facilities and better opportu- nities for manufacturing purposes than California. As it is not subject to the sudden and excessive changes of heat and cold, and has nearly an equal temperature throughout the year, all sorts of manufacturing industries can be carried on with great advantage. So thoroughly has this fact impressed itself upon observant minds that during the past year several large interests of this kind were removed from the East, where they had been long established, and transferred to this city. Few people not personally concerned are aware to what extent manufactures are now carried on in San Francisco, and it is worthy of note that wherever our products have come into competition with those of other places we have borne off the palm of victory. The incessant demands of our miners and farmers have called into existence a system of large foundries, the principal of which are the Union, Miners', Fulton, Ætna, Golden State, Vulcan, Pacific, Pioneer, Phoenix, Portland, Cali- fornia, Eureka, Columbia, Occidental, Risdon Boiler Works and Pacific Rolling Mills. The articles turned out of these hives of industry are superior to any others known. We have also the largest smelting and reduction works in the country, wire and wire rope works, a number of first-class woolen mills, cordage factories, thirty-five to forty tanneries, silk factories, cigar factories by the hundred, match makers, box, sash and door factories; glass factories, saw and planing mills, basket and broom makers by the score, shot towers, cooperages, furniture and cabinetmakers, boat and ship builders, musical instrument makers, carriage makers, clock and watchmakers, and so on, to the number of nearly two hundred establishments, representing many millions of money. We are fast becoming independent of outside supplies for many articles of consumption, and are beginning to occupy the field as factors for other markets.
REAL ESTATE-NEW BUILDINGS.
The progressive tendencies of our people are admirably depicted in the style, size and general appearance of the edifices now built as compared with those constructed prior to 1860. The era for paper and pasteboard houses has passed away forever, and San Fran- cisco now boasts a very large number of buildings which will compare favorably with those of any city in the Union. During 1873 there were six hundred and seventy-one new
12
PREFACE.
brick and frame buildings put up in this city, and in 1874 the number was increased to two thousand one hundred and fifty-nine, many of them elegant, costly and stylish. It will reasonably be inferred that real estate transactions kept pace with this development in building. In 1873 there were three thousand one hundred and thirty-four sales of real estate, valued at $12,383,752, with the buildings and improvements thereon. In 1874 there were three thousand eight hundred and fifty-four sales made, aggregating $23,823,903, being a gain of 720 in number of sales, and $11,510,151, or nearly double in value of property sold. It is not necessary to comment upon these figures to show with what rapid strides San Francisco is progressing on the road to population, wealth and power.
POPULATION.
As a snow-ball of moderate size increases in volume by being rolled over the surface of the snow, and takes up a much larger quantity in proportion to its bulk or surface, so does the population of a thriving commercial mart augment as the years roll by, and is enlarged not only from outside accretions, but also from its own productive resources. It is an axiom in finances that "money makes money," and it is no less true that people make people. According to the Federal census, taken in 1870, the population of San Francisco at that time was 149,500, in round numbers; but there is abundant reason to believe that the census was much below the mark. The aggregate population in June, 1873, was rising 188,000, and in the same month of 1874 not less than 200,000, being a gain of 50,500 in three years, or more than 50 per cent. The most accurate estimates made at the commencement of 1875 are that the city then contained at least 235,000 souls, being an increase of 171/2 per cent for six months, or 35 per cent for the year. This rate of increase is equal to a gain of 86,000 in four years, or nearly 58 per cent. upon the numbers of the census year. Taking this ratio as a guide for the ensuing four years, we shall have at the close of 1878 not fewer than 400,000 people in the city. We are dealing in round numbers, and speaking of the aggregate population, including visitors and tem- porary sojourners, as well as resident inhabitants. It must, however, be remembered that the more numerous our population becomes from year to year, the more rapid will be its increase from home production; and as the city grows in size and importance, it will attract a greater amount of immigration by sea and land.
