But the formidable barrier of the Rocky Mountains deterred the Hudson's Bay Company firam making use of this portion of its territory until recent times. In 1804 it established a fur-trading station at Fort George, on Eraser River, in New Caledonia, and soon other factories were opened in the neigh- bourhood. These proving successful, it extended its 1 Viscount Milton and Dr Cheadle, "The North- West Passage by Land." BRITISH COLUMBIA AND VANCOUVER ISLAND. 137 operations and erected a trading f...ort near the site of Victoria, in Vancouver Island, in 1843, and the great natural resources of the island soon suggested more extensive colonizing work. In 1847 it asked permis- sion of the British Government to pursue this work in an orderly way. The permission was given, and in 1848 Vancouver Island was assigned to the Hudson's Bay Company for ten years. The discovery of the Cali- fornia gold-fields brought many settlers to this quarter of the world, and some of them, preferring the quiet of agricultural life to the turmoil of the district of gold-mines, went northward to Vancouver Island and British Columbia.
