Pacific Coast Business Directory
California
![](../images/small_leaf.jpg)
California, the Golden State of the Union, ranks as the Empire
State of the Pacific Coast, and as such takes precedence among
her sisters, as first noticed in this number of the Pacific
Coast Business Directory. To a certain extent California is a
representative of the body of States and Territories west of the
Rocky Mountains, from the peculiarities of the seasons, the
mineral resources, the grandeur of the scenery, etc., as
contradistinguished from the Atlantic slope. The lofty
Cordillera constitutes the backbone of the continent, and
parallel ranges give feature to the scenery and character to the
climate. The year is divided into the seasons of Wet and Dry,
rather than Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn. The mountains
reach into eternal snow, and the valleys possess an equable
clime, bordering on perpetual summer. Extremes of fertility and
barrenness are found in various sections. Forests of
incomparable grandeur and rocky peaks; broad fertile plains and
forbidding deserts are contiguous. The precious and the useful
metals are found in every quarter, and no section, however
barren in its outward appearance, can safely be condemned as
valueless. Beneath the verdant meadow is the glittering gold,
and the rocks of the desert are veined with silver and lead and
other valuable minerals. These facts have been made known
through exploration and toil, and the development continues.
From year to year discoveries are made and new resources opened,
and thus, as was proceed, are hopes encouraged.
