Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from British Columbia; The Most Westerly Province of Canada: Its Position, Advantages, Resources, and Climate British Columbia, one of the richest and most resourceful provinces of the Dominion of Canada, occupies a large portion of the western part of the continent of North America. It lies immediately to the north of the American States of Washington, Idaho, and part of Montana, the 49th north parallel forming the international boundary, and with the summit of the Rocky Mountains separating it from the district of Alberta in the North-West Territories on the east. The province extends northerly to the 60° of north latitude. Between latitude 54° and 60° it occupies the whole country between the sea coast and 120° latitude, with the exception of a narrow strip along the coast that belongs to Alaska. Included within its limits are Vancouver Island and Queen Charlotte Islands and a large portion of the archipelago of the Pacific. The province has a length of about 900 miles, with an average width of 450, embracing an estimated area of about 400,000 square miles. British Columbia is Canada´s great western outlet to Japan, China and the other countries of the Orient, to Hawaii, New Zealand and Australia, to the whole North Pacific Coast and to the famed gold basin of the Yukon which lies directly to the north of It. Its trade is yearly increasing by leaps and bounds, and, through Its excellent means of communication with all parts of the globe, has already reached astonishing dimensions. The high commercial and political importance the province has attained is permanently assured by its commanding geographical position which bears a somewhat similar relation to a large portion of the North American continent that Great Britain does to Europe for the trade of the world. The wealth of its mines, forests, waters and soil is practically illimitable, each succeeding year demonstrating the marvellous richness of its varied resources. Speaking generally, British Columbia is a highly mineralized mountainous country with intervening valleys of splendid arable and pasture lands, magnificent forests and incomparable waterways.
