To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In early times, the only trade depended upon for the support of the city was derived directly from the work- ing of the mines to the eastward. Some of this trade is still retained; but, com- pared with the tremendous grain trade which has sprung into existence within the last six years, it sinks, to a unit. The city has many beautiful public and private buildings, thirteen churches, fourteen pub- lic and many private schools; is lighted with gas, and well supplied with water, the latter from an... artesian well 1,002 feet deep, which discharges 360,000 gallons per day — the water rising ten feet above the city grade. There are several good hotels ; the Yo-Semite and Grand are the prin- cipal ones. The Independent and the Herald are daily papers, published here. The city is embowered in trees and shrub- bery : most of the private residences and gardens of the citizens are certainly very tastefully ornamented with all kinds of vines, shrubbery, and flowers. The soil around Stockton is " adobe," a vegetable mold, black and very slippery, and soft during the rainy season.
