Among the signs of the times is the growing importance of San Francisco's relations to the mineral industries of the Pacific Coast. Once this city was the great supply point for the placer mines. Time has brought many changes in min- ing. Many belleve that this city will be- | come & great metallurgical center. What has happened at New York, it is argued, may well be repeated at San Francisco, the general conditions not being dissim- ilar.

The aggregate of frontage is not far from one hundred miles. At first it was thought that metal- plants properly belong ciose to s, but the cheapness and facil- assembling raw materials and the mi itles | distributing finished commodities are su- | perfor at seaport cities. An Assembling Point. “The position of San Francisco,” says the Mining and Scientific Press, “as an | discussed from | | i i | | assembling point for the raw materials | of a metallurgical industry leaves noth- | Continuing the Press | ing to be desired.” says: It is very much nearer to the mines than any of the Atlantic coast eities, and with the completion of an interoceanic canal it will be equally near to all of the consuming markets of commodities. The canal will restore nat- ural lines of movement to the assembling of raw materials and the distribution of com- modities manufactured from them. The one will go outward to the nearest seacoast @s- | sembling point, the other inland from the nearest coast port. San Francisco, on the Pa- cific coast, will, just as has New York on the Atlantic coast,'become the principal point of assembling and distribution. San Francisco Bay and its extensions, San Pablo and Sulsun bays, provide on their shore | lines probably a greater linear extent of deep water sea frontage, and facilities already created, in the world. The shore stretch from Oakland to about Antioch may all be regarded as im- mediately available. 1t is all bordered by a channel of deep water, nowhere requiring very long plers to reach it from the shore. Two lines of transcontinental rallroads run along it, so that rafl and ship are close together, The facilities for the cheap assembilng of chegp fuel ere already partially compieted and their practicability proven. The petroleum- carrying pipe line from the San Joagquin Valley will give this district the cheapest fuel supply of any great seaport city in the world. Great industrial changes have heretofore ac- complished themselyes on the Atlantic_coast without making similar changes on the Pacific Coast. The shifting of the centers. of metal- lurgical industiy from inland to seaport cities, the great industrial movement going on in the present time at the East is, unlike pre- ceding changes, making a similar change here. To pealize this it is only necessary to com- pare the industrial establishments existing and projected on this iine of bay shore {hree years ago with those existing and projected now. The increase is a out of proportion to th gains of equal it preceding periods of time The ultimate development here indicated is in. It is coming rapidly, The founda- tion for it has been prepared in the assem- bling at one point of the conditions which s united make a commercial foundation for a great center of metallurgical industry.

In Bouth Africa we compress centuries of ning history Into decades and we hold the rid's record in mining for rapidity In ex- ploitation, drilling and hoisting. At Kimber- iey 2000 tons haye been hoisted up a 1600-foot shaft in one day, while at the Simmer and Jack we sent down a 22x20 shaft about 220 feet in one month.

South Africa rivals America in disrespect for tradition. In fact its bright- est ploneers are Americans, and the leading figure among Johennesburg engineers is Hen- nen Jennings, a Harvard graduate. ere are many problems ahead of the Rand, the chief being that of power. There are no navigable rivers and practically no waterfalls.

Other adjacent tracts would raise the value to $135,90 for 161.57 acres. the larger area there would be the two main summits, each 900 feet of altitude, with a les: summit $60 feet high and a southwel(?fi spur with a summit 88 feet in altitude et Indorse Mayor Schmitz’s Views.
