The There is no department of mechanical industry in this State in which more enterprise and energy is exhibited than that of the manufacture of machinery. There are at the present time in operation, exclusive of the government works at Mare Island and those belonging to the Pacific Mail Company at Benicia, twenty iron foundries, of which five are located in San Francisco, three at Sacramento, two each at Calaveras, El Dorado and Nevada, and one each in Amador, Butte, Los Angeles, San Joaquin, Santa Clara and Yuba. establishments at San Francisco, particularly those of the Union Iron Works and the Pacific and Vulcan Foundries, are of the most extensive character, and being amply provided with the necessary appliances for the construction of the heaviest description of machinery, they are fully capable of meeting all the demands that may be made upon them. The government works at Mare Island, and those of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company at Benicia, will favorably compare with similar establishments in the Eastern States. In addition to these foundries, there are several establishments for the manufacture of steam engines, boilers, etc.; and throughout the State there may be found numerous smaller shops devoted to the working of metals, which yield to their proprietors a remunerative return for their industry and enterprise. The boiler works of Messrs. Coffey & Risdon, at San Francisco, devoted exclusively to the manufacture of boilers, is the most extensive establishment of the kind on the Pacific Coast. 4. CALIFORNIA METALLURGICAL WORKS. The California Metallurgical Works, located at San Francisco, have been in successful operation during the last three years. They are both extensive and admirably adapted for the assaying of different descriptions of ore, and especially for the extraction of gold from the tailings of quartz mills. During the first fifteen months that these works were in operation, but one furnace was used; during the succeeding three months, two were employed. The aggregate amount of gold extracted from quartz tailings and ores, during this period, is $150,000. The whole of this sum may be considered clear gain, and as two-thirds, or $100,000, were paid to the owners of quartz leads, who have invested their money, as a general thing, in this State, the item becomes of considerable importance. About $50,000 have |
