FIRST VICTORIA DIRECTORY.

PREFATORY REMARK S,

IT. has been thought by the author of the following workthat the present being an -age of advancement, the period hasfully arrived when our fair town of Victoria is of sufficientimportance to deserve that index of commercial progress, aDirectory.

A Directory, in the full sense of the word, is a guide to the-streets, (to the stranger), the house^- in the -streets, and the occu-

pants of those houses, whether privafie, individuals or engaged-in business pursuits. The trades then follow, in categorical,we should say alphabetical, order. Then, to offer additional

facilities, is given an alphabetical list of all persons in the goodtown contained, irrespective of callings, of occupations, andif any or none. In a place of the largest resort, the workmight be amplified by adding to this a Law Directory, a Postal

Directory, an Official Directory, a Court Directory, etc. But : it,

will be understood, at -a moment's' reflection, that Victoria isvery far from reaching this point of importance ; and so ourviews with regard to it must be much -more moderate., wemust only hope that it will ere long require increased attention'in this particular; arhen the author, assisted by public patron-age, will be most happy to. do justice to its political and com=mercial merits.

It will be necessary, then; to remind - but very few lhat-vi^toria-is the largest settlement on this Island of Vancouver:

At a period of less than two years ago, the population of

12 FIRST VICTORIA DIRECTORY.

Victoria numbered but some few hundreds. The inhabitants of the Island consisted of but some twelve to thirty settlers, independently of the Hudson's Bay Company. (Vide Mr. James Cooper's testimony in the Blue Book.) A fortunate accident, the discovery of a certain quantity of gold—or shall we say, the fact of gold having been discovered in the country and its surroundings—first called the attention of the world to the small matter of the existence of Vancouver Island.

This discovery took large dimensions. It was bruited abroad that the glories of California and Australia were to be repeat-ed:, not only repeated, but " pale their ineffectual fires " be-fore those of the "better land"; that as it had been found in the former country that the yield of gold increased towards the head or upper part of California mountain ranges, so it was fairly presumed that the boundless source of the precious metal was to be found on British ground.

The influence of the "leading journal" mightily propagated the news.

In the home country, men began earnestly to inquire for the shortest route to this new world of wealth ; and diligently did they, for the nonce, refer to their maps and geographies, and promptly was the information of the fact of Vancouver being, confirmed by business chart sellers and " geographers to the Queen." Then were peaceable inhabitants of Great Britain further surprised by the intelligence that England had made herself another colony—two colonies—Vancouver Island and British Columbia.

We learned that New Caledonia was thenceforth stripped of a portion of its area, in extent about seven hundred miles; namely, all west of the Rocky Mountains, in that hitherto terra incognita, British North America, as far as the Pacific Ocean, and running from the boundary of the United States on the South, to Simpson's River and Peace River on the North ; that Queen. Charlotte's Wand was to be part of it. We learned that the Hudson's Bay Company's charter, then shortly to expire, was not to be renewed in the two colonies—in fact, in British Columbia—was to cease, and did cease immediatety on the reading of the Queen's proclamation constituting the colony. This proclamation was read by His Excellency, the

PREFATORY REMARKS. 13

newly- appointed Governor, James Douglas, on or about the ,,,,ratr November of last year.

We had been already informed, in reliable intelligence, that above 35,000 immigrants, from California and elewhere had already arrived, and had produced a most marvelous state of transition in the two countries.

On arriving here, we found, to our surprise, a town of already some little pretensions. Houses had been built where before only intended ; streets were formed, stores filled and goods sold; wharves built for the convenience of landing passengers and goods. The former had sometimes arrived in numbers of 1,800 and 2,000 at a time.

" The Fort " began to be surrounded, and strangers had already to ask their way to it. Victoria, in short, had some-thing the appearailce of a reality, small though it was. As time grew on, we were further convinced of the earnestness of its intended career of vitality, by the remarkable pains, wheth-er in charity or not is perhaps a moot question, taken to kill it, and deny its existence and that of the gold country, by patriotic news authors, in whose eyes its progress was unde-sirable.

It may be thought stepping considerably out of one's path, not as a chronicler of Victoria's history, but simply refreshers of its memory, to enlarge on the thrilling steps necessary to, and taken by, the adventurer, possessed by the "auri sacra fames." The last quotation might lessen our pity ; or pity we should, and sympathize with we must, those 'bold spirits who from far and near, rushed to the social (? solitary) strife, and braved distance, danger, an unknown topography, a treacher-ous navigation, a subtle and often cruel foe in Indian shape ; and all quite as much in search of the wonderful, the unknown, the terrible, as of mere utilitarian gold ; for it must have been known to the large mass of adventurers that success would not be their guerdon. Then began fatally to tell the ignorance in which the country, by great accident or fortuitous circumstan-ces, had hitherto been shrouded. Who knew that "the Sound was perilous to cross ?"- Who knew that "a thousand islands" in dread archipelago, surrounded by and playing with a thou-


sand perverse counter-currents, were to be met and passed. That, though spiteful for its size, and rich in wreck debris, and gluttonous of human bodies, as was the fell " gulf," there was a " deeper still ," that subtle Fraser river ran swiftly to embrace in death the inexperienced mariner (2). That after concealing its entrance to the sea by low, undignified, sedgy borders, as if ashamed of past misdeeds, and doing its all if not to repel the uninitiated, at least to mislead before destroy-ing; (and many and fairy-like are the tales to be told by those who deal in " toils and dangers past," of most abstruse communings with the fickle element in intricate search after the gates of that new gold paradise, and of cruel robberies by unsympathizing Chinooks in the golden dream.) It was still news to the lucky adventurer, who happened to enter this sometime forbidden portal to the happy land, that, before hope-ing to tread thereon, he might be overtaken by the unan-nounced approach of dread winter, which could, on an emer-gency, alter in a few hours, by draping in snow, the leading features of the scenery ; it was news and bitter to the feelings to pursue one's " even'tenor " and camp under snow.

Rain, ice, frost, and snow, and river currents of Fraser " rolling rapidly " (when in its glory, untold-of miles per hour), all fraternally combined to receive, in benumbing wel-come, the sturdy pioneer. Full well was their sinister work done. Will the roll ever be published of the unnumbered deaths in that fatal stream, on those uninviting shores, threat-ened by those gloomy cañons?

Enough, we know how many of the hopeful arrivals left us in disgust, from various causes, and the gold fever abated. All this evil arose from a want of available communication by land or water. We know now that the first steps in all new countries are to establish communications, level the steeps, bridge the gaps, cut the forest trail, follow it with the bullock-waggon track ; then the metalled road, and finally the rail-way, follow.

Are tb.ere indeed lands which the poor settler may turn to account and supply himself with daily bread ? Do not arid Tocks, useless trees, and savage animals., in turn, present the features of the country.? Then, by all means, let roads be

opened. Are, perhaps, poor settlers daily arriving, anxious,:eager to begin the early work? Engage them, then, in theuseful toil, government providing tools, covering, wood, andwater, and remunerative wages.

When these are satisfied with their meed of labor for thepublic and their own good, let them .be succeeded by others ;let the never-failing stream of immigration supply the laborfor the ever-to-be-continued work. As each one performs anddiscontinues his share, let facilities (and for these facilities we.say, to the country and their fellow-subjects at least, are rulersresponsible) be afforded for permanent settlement to the will-ing crowd ; let land, 'at first, be liberally given away, andbeware of grants for speculative purposes. Land, wild, ten-anted only by the bear, the wolf, and the deer, is valueless ;.but land obtained gratuitously by industrious men, and bythem made to produce the 11 fruits of the earth," is valuable,because turned toits natural and intended use, and enhances.the value (gqives it then, in fact,) of the remainder. Letreserves be kept in all suitable places, and, as population.increases, then ask-because then just-a moderate price for:the land.

We say, then, that we await, with hopeful expectation, the.forming of roads through the length and the breadth of thesecolonies. We wish for much of that liberal spirit to be shownwhich, exercised in profusion, would evince the greatest fore-sight-the granting gratuitously of land for settlement. Let,at once, information be wide-spread as to the resources of these.fertile lands, liberal in their great agricultural resources, nottreeless, and so inviting lazy toilers (if the expression be allow-able), but rich in promise of fertility ; lands of many and navi-gable waters, where drought will ever be unheard-of, availablefor numerous Red River and Saskewatchan settlements ; resour-ces in fisheries--cod and salmon (to which the Tweed must,and Columbia- river does, yield the palm) in thronging schools ;venison here half the price of butchers' meat. Coal, copper,and -iro.n, doubtless, and other minerals abound. Resources in.some of the finest timber, of which treeless neighbors are gladto avail them.selves. All this without even mentioning thegold, which, without dispute; it contains. Let this knowledge


be widely circulated, let it be known to the scarcely-noticed, hard-struggling workers at home that England possesses, AND

EASY OF ACCESS, not " the gem of the Antilles," but in Van-couver Island, the gem of the Pacific ; a second self in its position, commercially, for East and West, and geographically in view of the proposed North American Railroad from Can-ada. In climate, superior to England ; no easterly winds, and. but few fogs here, whide it is well known that the Pacific side of the continent, in common with western Europe, is far superior to the east Atlantic slope. And, when this informa-tion is thus afforded, let these colonies, with unstinted hand, give free passages to the crowds there palpitating to come to us, on strict and independent condition of returning the amount at an early date to pay for others.

Let us now descend to facts. A number of wharves have been constructed this past season; a new timber bridge across the James Bay has been built, giving access to the newly-erecteçl government offices for public lands and the Goverilinent House, all in brick and of an ornamental character ; streets leading to the bridge have been new graded ; several of the leading streets have been metalled over, and are passable at all times. A temporary want of funds alone prevents more being done in this way, as also the completion of two embankments (in lieu of bridges) in a ravine severing two of our streets. Wooden buildings have ceased to be the order of the day, thus diminishing the constant dread of fire. • We note the establish-ment of an agency of an underwriters' association. We have been fortunate in hitherto escaping with but one single disaister in this shape. This latter had one beneficial effect. Some public-spirited citizens taking the lead, a hook and ladder com-pany has been organized, and subscriptions, to a considerable amount, made to defray the necessary outlay of building, hook and ladder, engine, etc., and a sum set apart for the erection. Plans and specifications have been intrusted to an able architect and contracts have been made at this writing, so that we trust soon to number this useful public safeguard among our insti-tutions. We have a police barracks (which important building holds also the Supreme Court and. the Police Court), an ex-tensive warehouse (a • large bookstore and dwelling) of two


stories, at least two hotels of considerable dimensions, andseveral houses, all erected in brickwork with stone fronts andsome pretensions. The Hudson's Bay Company are at thismoment erecting a warehouse, of portentous dimensions, ofstone, which they take the trouble to import from a distancenot exceeding forty miles ; and a new bank, the " Bank ofBritish North America," still further emulous of fame, has also,in the same spirited style, built itself an architectural homeôf rubble-stone faced with squared granite masonry.

We speak within bounds when we assert that from twenty tothirty buildings (some of great pretensions) are in progress atthis moment in the very heart of the town and its most valua-ble sites. An unprecedented quantity of lumber is beingworked up, and the streets present a most animated appearance.Would we could speak so favorably of the state of the roadsand ways and the prospects of the pedestrians.

Great demands are made for a public hall for meeting andthe want of a theatre is felt. The town is by degrees assuming,in its buildings, a staid, substantial appearance. If there is norapid advance there is no retrogression here. The last fewmonths have seen an increase in our legal defenders, and thearrival of an Attorney-General for British Columbia. Wewere long ago thought of sufficient importance to be worthy ofa Lieutenant-Governor for British Columbia and a corps of sap-pers and miners. We have one establishment supplying booksof a varied and valuable character, news depots and reading-rooms. For the latter we are indebted to the Young Men'sChristian Association.

We have seén, by an effort in the right direction, large tractsof land (20,000 acres) in the neighborhood of Victoria, put upfor sale by public auction at the upset price of $1 per acre, andagain at Nanaimo. It is with much pleasure that we can, inthis reading, report one further fact. Through a slight relaxa-tion, by His Excellency, -of the usual conditions of occupyingland in this colony, a number of settlers have been enabled totake up pre-emption claims of 200 acres each, on the lands ofChemainus and Salt Spring Island, about forty miles from Vic-toria. The number of settlers we believe to be fifty and about100, respectively. This brings us to name the new Fran-

18 FIRST VICTORIA. DIRECTORY.

cluse Bill, certainly a boon to the community ; we mean a slightadvance on previous matters, and perhaps deserves better thanto be, as it were, dismissed in parenthesis. One of the clausesin the bill gives the privilege -of one member in the New Houseof Assembly to represent the settlement just named.

From British Columbia we have to note large sales at suc-cessful amounts, in the township of New Langley and the futurecapital, New Westminster. In this latter town we have aTreasury and Custom House already erected ; a considerablesum has been set apart for grading the streets. In the Colonyin general several trails have been brought to a successful issue,and are now in progress (among the former one of twenty-fivemiles, from Fort Hope to Boston Bar)-which we accept asearnests of more in future.

British Columbia can now boast of several townships ofpromise-New Westminster, Forts Langley, Hope, Yale, andDouglas ; Lytton City, at the extremity of a beautiful freshwater lake of an irregular shape, about forty miles long and anaverage width of four miles ; soundings have been found atten fathoms. All duties of a varying value, leviable in BritishColumbia, to be paid at New Westminster.

British Columbia has a Lieutenant-Governor, a Chief Jus-tice, an Attorney-General, District Justices, etc. The FraserRiver, as high as the capital---nineteen miles up-is navigablefor ocean steamers, which will, no doubt, show themselves fre-quently when the I

,'Sound" channel shall be properly buoyed

out. The ordinary river steamers proceed as far as Hope, sev-enty miles from the mouth. Successful efforts have,bPPn made(but discontinued) to proceed as far as Yale, fifteen mileshigher up.

The upset price of land in British Columbia is ten shillings,or two dollars and a half per acre. Some thousands of acres(if we have been correctly, informe.d as to all the facts) in theimmediate neighborhood of New Westminster, can now bepurchased for $1 25 per acre.

Our gold exports present a$attering figure. In justice tothe country, we are bound to say that, so far as the river dig-gings are concerned, the time for divesting them of their val-uable deposits is very limited in extent. Like all rivers sub-


ject to freshets, and dependent for the great supply of its waters on the winter snows, Fraser River is, in the season of the greatest heats, subject to considerable periodical and at times sudden increase of its waters, by the melting of the snows on its mountain-tops. During all the growth (rise) of the river its banks are of course unworkable. The miners who find their pay, for the most part, on these banks, or on bars as they are termed (aggregations of boulders, sand, and gravel, situ-ated in the bed and, for the most part, in the bends of the river), are of course driven off during this period. But from, say September till the frosts set in (perhaps November, as last year), a period of two months, and at intervals during the course of winter, the claims are workable ; the river is then low, and keeps falling ; all the snows for the season have con-tributed their waters, and these have run off.

.Again, at„the close of the severest weather, and before the snows have yet had inducements to melt, another short season offers for the persevering gold miner—say from February till the middle of April, two months more. Thus, so far as the river diggings are concerned, the avilable time for working is reduced to about four months, with the exception of days here and there (in two periods), before and after the snow thaws, and not nine months in the year, as originally set out by parties in-terested in trumpeting forth the gold yield I We speak from experience, and defy contradiction.

But, why should a great country, if depending at all on its gold yield, feel itself discouraged or brow-beaten by outsiders at the difficulty surrounding its river washings ? These should, in a sound order of things, be considered as extras to the usual bountiful provision of Nature in such matters. What should be looked for, and what, it will be remembered, we spoke of at the outset, is " hill diggings," deep sinkings. With respect to these, it may be taken, as something very much approaching absolute truth, from the great, in many instances (with the tben means), insuperable obstacles in the former part enumerated-want of communications, want of transport for provisions, hence famine prices—the country lias not been hith,erto properly explored (prospected). It is not when provisions are from fifty cents to one dollar per pound that men-can stay in a spot suffi-


ciently long (even if, with the formidable physical obstacles pre-sented by the country, a sufficient number can reach it) to report credibly on its resources.

We here dismiss this subject, important as it is to outsiders, and proceed to the dry region of figures.

In trades and professions Victoria possesses seven butchers or meat salesmen, several fish and vegetable dealers, ten bakers, thirteen dry or fancy goods stores, six tailors, thirteen commission merchants, three chemists and druggists, three architects, one ambrotypist, eight or ten carpenters or con-tractors, twenty grocers and provision dealers, four hair-cutting saloons, three dress-makers,/ about twenty-five hotels, inns, saloons, and restaurants, six surveyors, three watchmakers, four lumber dealers, eight or nine medical practitionerg of dif-ferent classes, ten legal professors, of which four are barristers at law, two banks, four blacksmiths, machinists, and ship-smiths, three express offices, three newspapers (tri-weekly), seven auctioneers and estate agents, seven dealers in tin and hardware, three wholesale liquor dealers, six cigar and fruit dealers, two ship-brokers, one patent roofing dealer, four lodg-ing-houses, one tanner, one underwriter, one crockery and glass dealer, one fur-dresser, two seed dealers, two breweries, five milk-sellers, two saddlers, eight wharves.

With regard to religion and education, we have one Episcopa-lian Church, one Roman Catholic Church, one Wesleyan Mis-sion, one Congregational Mission, one Nunnery—Sisters of St. Ann—also school for females, one school under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Bishop, one Private Educational Institute, both. sexes, E. Mallandaine, late J. Silversmith ; one Young Ladies' Seminary.

We call attention to our Official Directory, of which the list has been furnished direct from the office of the Colonial Secre-t tary.

We have an hospital, started originally by the Rev. E. •Cridge, of Christ Church, and now sadly overburdened with debt, and several benevolent societies.

, A Masonic Lodge is in course of formation ; the charter bad


already arrived but has been returned to England for correc-tion. An Odd Fellows' Association has been in existence for one year.

We have a Ladies' Benevolent Society, under the presidency of Mrs. Col. Moody. A First Hebrew Victoria Benevolent Society has been in existence some six months.

The Philharmonic Society of Victoria, under the conduct of John Bayley, Esq., is among one of its oldest institutions, and numbers in its ranks many of its celebrities, and of British Columbia.

The ports of Victoria and Esquimault receive ten river and sea-going steamers to supply the requirements of their increas-ing trade. Of these six are the property of the Colony, three of the Hudson's Bay Company, and two built in Victoria by navigation companies ; two ocean steamers (one British).

We carry on a lucrative trade in lumber, flour and fruits with the ports on the Sound, and have bi-monthly communica-tion with the Atlantic States and the home government.

To finish, we have in Victoria a FREE PORT. This im-mense advantage, coupled with its commanding situation for an Eastern, an Indian, an Australian, and a California trade, with the best available harbor in this portion of the Pacific, backed by its unrivalled physical resources yet undeveloped, its position opposite the terminus of the North American and Pacific Railroad (which will shortly be an undoubted fact), pla-cing it in the highway of travel for English wealth and enter-prise, will, no doubt, ere long, place it in that prominent posi-tion we must all wish for it.

In conclusion, we have but to place our work, in its present state, in the hands of an indulgent public, appealing with con-fidence to their • support, in return for which corresponding efforts will be made to.plaCe before them, at a future period, a work more worthy of them and our town.

It is in present contemplation to amend and republish this work twelve-monthly, or six-monthly if desirable. The wishes and patronage of the public will be Qur guide. • The publishing of the present work, small as it ' is, has not been unattended


with expense, and for any remuneration, we are candid in

stating, we look forward to a second issue, when other resour-ces of mutual advantage to ourselves and the public (of whiqhthe latter, we trust, will not be slow to avail themselves) willno doubt compensate the author, who will take as a favor thebeing informed of any errors or omissions whatsoever in names,descriptions, or residences.

SAN FRANCISCO DEPARTMENT.

OUR COMIÏERCE WITH CALIFORNIA.

We need scarcely remark that a brisk trade connection be-tween these colonies and California has been kept up since the last couple of years. Some of the first houses of San Fran-cisco have branch establishments in Victoria. The steamers which ply regularly every week between San Francisco and Puget Sound are always well freighted, besides other lines of sailing crafts, carrying merchandise and produce of every known description. In the Preface to this work are enumerated the resources which this north-western continent furnishes as a return for goods and wares shipped. California is now, and ever will be, the only reliable mart from which these colonies can be supplied with the necessaries and commodities. Its ex-tensive commercial connections with the Atlantic States and Europe, have placed San Francisco beyond competition OD the Pacific coast. Already the spirit for home manufactures are being carried on, and where is there a city among the known civilized nations, that has built itself up within the remarkable short space of ten years—a State like California, or a City like San Francisco—and every art, science, and profession, liberally patronized ?

Although the early Frazer river excitement threatened to engulf California, and strip it of its world-renowned gold glo-ries; but happily the tide of commerce turned in its favor, and we are informed that, more or less, every business house bas

felt its beneficial effects. 1*

2 SAN FRANCISCO DEPARTMENT.

We would say to the merchants of San Francisco, that these colonies are also on the march of progress, that business is be-ing carried on with system and reliability.

The legal institutions of these colonies are such, that it leaves few chances for defrauding creditors. There is, and always has been, from the earliest moment of Frazer River excite-ments, more confidence, between business men, than has been the case with California. We have yet to record any heavy failures by which men have lost their all.

The business community of California must see that Victoria of Vancouver's Island, British Columbia, and Washington Territory, United States, are valuable trade acquisitions to California ; their mineral, agricultural and other resources place them among the first colonies on this continent. Victoria is a pleasantly located city of several thousand inhabitants, on Vic-toria Harbor, and a FREE PORT ; is the principal mart for all the Puget Sound towns and villages, of which there are quite a number, besides having a naval station at Esquimalt of five or six men-of-war. Several steamers leave almost daily for New Westminster, British Columbia, besides the steam and ship lines of California, England and Australia, which are by no means inconsiderable.

PACIFIC CLINICAL INFIRMARY—Surgeon, PROFES-SOR COOPER.—We beg to call the attention of the public to the gentleman above mentioned, Doctor Cooper, of San Francisco, the celebrated Physician and Surgeon. We have had the pleasure of a most intimate acquaintance with this gentleman for a number of years, and therefore are enabled to speak from a personal knowledge of his professional merits.

A number of years ago, the Doctor laid the foundation of a Medical Institute, to be conducted on a thorough and system-atic plan, to possess every requisite for the convenience and comfort of patients, and advice and prescriptions of the very highest order. The exertion was crowned with the most corn.- plete success, and from a humble origin, the " Pacific Clinical Infirmary Institute," of San Francisco, is at this time, widely as well as deservedly celebrated.

The cures which this gentleman b.as performed, are some of

SAN FRANCISCO DEPARTMENT. 3

the most difficult in the practice of medical surgery, and havebeen deemed almost miraculous.

If the testimony of hundreds, who have been signally bene-fitted at his hands were of any avail, we could publish severalfrom persons of the highest position in society and of themost unimpeac'aable veracity, but our limits forbid. Andwhen we mention that this gentleman, Dr. Cooper, is one ofthe principal members and directors of the Pacific MedicalUniversity, we feel assured that this fact alone, must convincethe minds of the most prejudiced that what we have stated canbe received with the most implicit confidence.

The Cooper Institute is pleasantly located on Mission Street,and should there be any who, through misiortune cr otherwiseshould apply for medical advice and trc,atment in San Fran-cisco, we cordially recommend them to Dr. Cooper, as a physi-cian in whom they can place the utmost confidence.

We hereby append the REGULAR STEAMSHiP LINES of PA-

CIFIC MAIL STEAMSHIP COMPANY, and CALIFORNIA STEAM

NAVIGATION COMPANY. Both these lines have been esta-

blished in the earliest infancy of California's existence, and re-quire little comment from us as a recommendation.

Messrs. B. T. CHASE & CO.'S STEAM SAW MILLS, cor-ner of Market and Beale Street, San Francisco, California.

The author of this work, being desirous of recommendingsome extensive establishment where many branches of mechan-ism and industry are carried on, and which professions are notyet introduced into our Colonies, where orders and work aremanufactured and promptly filled and at moderate prices, hav-ing had a cursory view of the following departments of thesepremises, we respectfully recommend the succeeding namedoccupants :

Messrs. March Bros. & Co. will attend to all orders of mer-chants and others who are shipping merchandise to these Colo-nies, of all kinds of Boxes, acccording to any given size ormeasure, at moderate prices and at the shortest notice.

Mr. S. Robb carries on a Steam Sawing and Turning estab-lishment. Builders, contractors, architects, and others, canhave their work executed with dispatch, in all its forms andshapes, at reduced prices.

Mr. H. C. Hudson manufactures a pure article of the cele-brated California Mustard, too well known on this continent torequire comments ; put up in cases of all sizes, to suit purchas-ers, and at remarkably low prices.


Brewers, liquor and spirit dealers and others will find, at the above premises, Mr. F. Graciere, manufacturing Bungs of every description for casks, barrels, pipes, etc. We recommend his establishment to the public.

John Mallon it Co., Glass Cutters. This gentleman has recently introduced his branch of Glass Cutting, heretofore unknown on the Pacific coast. We have seen some of the most beautiful specimens of artistic embellishments on glass we ever beheld. Those building, or others requiring such work, will do well to direct their orders forthwith to him ; he will execute them with dispatch and promptitude.

In all, these establishments are the most complete on this con-tinent. All branches of manufactures are principally provided with steam and the most approved modern machinery, by which labor is reduced, hence the exceedingiy low prices they demand for work or goods. This establishment cannot be superceded, in any of its appointments, on this coast.

MESSRS. EELLS & CO.—A most superb collection of Carriages, Buggies, Wagons, and Sulkies, is found in their immense warehouse, Front Street, corner of Pine, made of the best material and highly finished in the most modern patterns.' Orders sent to them from these colonies will meet with prompt fulfillment.

1W"» The commercial community of these colonies will be glad to perceive that Messrs. McLane (t Fowler, agents for the principal Insurance Institutions of the U. S., will take risks and issue policies for Marine Insurance, at a moderate per cent-age. We recommend them.

MR. J. R. SIMS, Oregon Street, below Front, carries on an extensive establishment for the manufacture of Iron Shut-ters, Doors, Railings, Vaults, Safes, etc. He has furnished the most prominent new buildings of Victoria and elsewhere with his superior work. Builders, architects, and contractors will find in Mr. Sims and his establishment, just the one who will faithfully and at short notice execute any orders or commissions, and at moderate charges.

û SAN FRANCISCO DEPARTMENT.

MR. J. J. LECOUNT, whose advertisement appears on theback cover of this work, has the largest and most com-plete stock of Books, Papers, Materials, Charts, Globes, FancyArticles, etc., on the Pacific coast. He is favorably known forbeing a strict business man, and the most moderate in his terms.He solicits orders from the trade, and we heartily recommendhim.

SILVERWARE MANUFACTORY.-We call attention,to the advertisement elsewhere of 111r. W. K. Vanderslice.This gentleman has recently established himself on Washing-ton Street, San Francisco, where he has exhibited to us, andmanufactured by him of pure coin, some of the finest andmost recherché specimens of mechanical art we ever beheld ;pitchers, waiters, cups, spoons, knives and forks, and an endlessnumber of other utensils. Jewelers and dealers generally,should bear this in mind that they need not send to New Yorkfor articles in his line, but should send their orders direct tohim ; his terms are very reasonable.

MESSRS. RASCIIE & SON, Dealers in 3fusical Instru-ments, Sheet 31icsic, Strings, etc. This house can fill any ordersat the lowest market rates. We are under many obligations toAlr. Henry R-asche, the author of the newly written operetta,entitled the " New Year among the Young Folk," for an invita-tion to the first performance thereof. It is replete with beau-tiful choruses, ballads, duetts, etc., neatly arranged for pianoand string instruments, and reflects great credit upon this mostpromising young author.

GROVER & BAKER'S SEWING MACHINES.-Thisworld-renowned and pionee2 Sewing Machine Establishment,have on hand machines which for speed, beauty, an] compact-ness, cannot be superceded ; over 35,000 are now in use. Themany improvements which this firm have effected, place theirmachine far beyond all others. We are under obligationto Mrs. Rogers, who has kindly exhibited to us specimens ofworkmanship executed by these machines, also the " modusoperandi" for working them. The simplicity, the great desid-eratum of labor, certainly entitle Messrs. Grover & Baker, tothe greatest fame. No family should be without one.

HUCKS & LAMBERT'S Celebrated Patent Anti-Friction

nE UREA Ha This extraordinary lubricating Compound is produced by a

chemical combination of suitable oily substances, purified by distillation, and carefully freed from the resinous or pitchy matter, which attaches to all Oils more or less, in their unre-fined or natural state.

In operation, the patent greese works free from comb or gum, keeping the heaviest bearings in a soft oily state to the last, and as its consistency is not altered by exposure to the hottest sun or coldest frost, (its liquifying point being 200 degrees,) it fol-lows that on axles which have a tendency to become hot, from too heavy abrasion, &c., the Anti-friction will adhere to, and keep them cool, when other substances would run off and be-come dry, thus the evil known as

is, by its use, effectually prevented. The proprietors will guarantee one application of their Pa-

tent Greese to carry the heaviest loaded teams from 300 to 500 miles, without requiring to be re-greased on the road.

We understand, also, that theircharores for the same are cheaper than those of other dealers .The trade should send their orders direct to them, as they willexecute commissions promptly . They can defy the world to _Pro-duce a better Cooking or Parlor Stove. See their card elsewhere .

'not be

SAN FRANCISCO COLLEGE.—This celebrated Institute has been established since the year 1855, and is under the su-pervision of the Rev. J. Chittenden, late of Cambridge and London Universities. Parents and guardians will look in vain for a better School where children of all ages and sexes can re-ceive a liberal education. The higher branches of Mathematics, Philosophy, Modern and Ancient Languages and Music, are successfully taught by eminent Professors. The terms, we find, . are very reasonable. The Institute is most pleasantly situated on Bush street, near Taylor, and is provided with Gymnastics and Sport or Play grounds.

MESSRS. B ALDWIN & JOSEPIII.—Jewelers and Watch-makers, and others in that trade, will find it greatly to their advantage to send their orders direct to this the oldest estab-lished House on the Pacific.

We have been shown by the pro-prietors one of the costliest and most superb selections of Amer-ican made W atches, for which this Firm are the Sole Agents on this Coast. Their Manufactory for making the best Jewelry is widely and favorably k.nown, having a Lapidary and an Enameling Furnace attached thereto. We cannot recommend a better House.

ner" A most complete stock of Crockery and Glassware, Lamps, Plated and China Ware, will be found at Messrs. Haynes & Lawton, Sansome Street. We can recommend no house on the Pacific coast, where the trade could be better suited, or where orders could be executed at shorter notice, cheaper rates, or with better articles.

MR. SAM'L ADAMS keeps constantly on hand an excel-lent article of Santa Cruz Lime. Builders, architects and con-tractors should send their orders direct to him. See his adver-tisement elsewhere.

MESSRS. HUCKS & LAMBERT.-We are pleased to recom-mend this Firm for manufacturing an unsurpassed article ofAxle Grease. We were shown the mysteries of the modusoperandi, by Mr. Hucks, who, by the way, is an excellentchemist-from all we can learn this article stands without arival. The firing of wheels need not be feared, while theirGrease is used.
