Is given by the California Immigrant Union, No. 248 Montgomery Street,
San Francisco, which, if heeded, will be of service:
1. Buy your tickets for passage on railroad or steamboat, only at the
office, before starting. Many of the runners who offer tickets for sale
in the streets are swindlers. If you intend to go in a steamer or ship,
examine the vessel before getting your ticket, and engage a particular
berth or room in a part of the vessel that is clean, well ventilated
and just comfortably warm.
2. Never show your money nor let any stranger know that you have any.
Thieves prefer to rob emigrants, who generally carry money with them,
and cannot stop to prosecute them, and have no acquaintances to aid in
the prosecution. Do not mention the fact that you are an emigrant to
persons who have no business to know it.
3. Never carry any large sum of money with you; you can always buy
drafts at banks, and if you are going to a strange place you can give
your photograph to the banker to forward to your destination, so that
you can be identified without trouble when you want to draw your money.
4. Avoid those strangers who claim to be old acquaintances, and whom
you do not recollect. A certain class of thieves claim the acquaintance
of ignorant countrymen whom they want to rob.
5. Do not drink at the solicitation of strangers; the first point of
the thief is to intoxicate or drug his victim.
6. Do not play cards for money with strangers; in many cases they
confederate to rob emigrants.
7. Travel in company with old friends, if possible, and do not leave
them. Thieves prefer to take their victims one at a time.
8. If you see anybody pick up a full pocket-book, and he offers it to
you for a small sum; or if you see some men playing cards, and you
are requested to bet on some point where it seems certain that you
must win; or it you see an auctioneer selling a fine gold watch for
five dollars, don’t let them catch you. Emigrants are systematically
swindled by such tricks.
9. If, when you arrive in a strange town, you want information and
advice, you can always get it by applying at the right place. First,
apply at the office of the Immigration Society, if there is one. If
you are a foreigner, you will probably find in the large cities a
Consular office or a benevolent society of your countrymen, and you can
apply there. Usually, there are attentive and polite men at the police
office. Public officers generally in the United States are ready to
assist and advise strangers.
10. Before starting from home, carefully read all the accessible books
about the State or Territory to which you intend to go; and when you
arrive, go to some place where you can find old friends, if you have
any. If you are poor, commence work immediately, but do not be in a
hurry to buy land, unless with the approval of men whom you can trust.
Take a month or two to get information about the country. Advice about
the purchase of land is often given with corrupt motives.
