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

PREFATORY REMARKS. 1^J

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.
