"Many ships have reached San Francisco during the past three or four months, and the number of women in town has greatly increased, but a woman is still sought after and earns a lot of money. Nearly all the saloons and gambling-houses employ French women. They lean on the bars, taking and laughing with the men, or sit at the card tables and attract players... To sit with you near the bar or at a card table, a girl charges one ounce ($16) an evening. She has to do nothing save honor the table with her presence. ...For anything more you have to pay a fabulous amount. Nearly all these women at home were street-walkers of the cheapest sort. But out here, for only a few minutes, they ask a hundred times as much as they were used to getting in Paris. A whole night costs from $200 to $400"

Back before SF worshipped AP:

"Apparently French prostitutes commanded the highest prices; the French journal-writer was partly correct. There were also a number of Australian, Chinese, Mexican, and German prostitutes who pursued their livelihood alongside Americans. All of these foreign women (with the notable exception of the French) were occasionally the objects of xenophobic attacks from the increasingly nationalistic Americans. Mexican and Chinese women were more often the target of racist attacks and were less likely to be able to make a decent living. Here's a typical attack: "The women of all these various races [Mexicans, Chileans, Chinese, negroes] were nearly all of the vilest character, and openly practised the most shameful commerce" (Soule, Gihon, and Nisbet 1855, 412)."

Birdshits always relying on immigrants do jerbs:

"The Annals underscores the perceived baseness of the task: "The Chinese and the free negroes, of whom there was now [in 1851] a goodly sprinkling, were 'the hewers of wood and the drawers of water' of the place; and performed washing and women's business, and such menial offices as American white males would scorn to do for any remuneration" (Soule, Gihon, and Nisbet 1855, 369)."
