Central Pacific Railroad Workers. In 1863, Collis P. Huntington,
Leland Stanford, Mark Hopkins and Charles Crocker formed the Big
Four to construct the Central Pacific Railroad.  They would hire
12,000-14,000 Chinese to level roadbeds, bore tunnels, blast 
mountainsides, and eventually complete the first transcontinental 
railroad in 1869.

Industrialists employed Chinese workers in the cigar, shoe and boot, garment and woolen industries of San Francisco,
then the industrial center of the West. In California's garment industry, the value of products increased from $27,000
in 1870 to more than $3.6 million in 1880.
