LETTER FROM SAN FRAN.

CISCO.
SAN Francisco, July %, 1875.
EDITOR TIMEs:-It may not be
uninteresaing- for your readers to
hear of some of. the dOings of the
good people in our metropolis, and
acting on this idea l pen these few
lines. Matters political, in the pres
ent dull aspect Of the stock market,
are attracting the earnest. attention
Of all classes OF people. The cham.
pions Of the respective parties now
in the field are holding forth night
ly, and daily, for that matter, to
large and enthusiastic audiences,
and SO mixed are matters that it
would require the sagacity of older
heads than any know to determine
which particular faction is in the as
tendency. Democrats, Republicans
and Independents are all confident
of victory, but with what reason
either party claims the advantage
over the other is something "no
fellah can find out" One would
imagine, while listening to the
speeches of our orators, that nothing
good or human could possibly be.
long to any who did not support
their idea of right and the crimina-
tons and recriminations INDUCED
in, and certainly without parellel in
the history OF California politics.
AS before mentioned, the stock
market is now, and has been for
months, suffering under great de-
preston with no prospect OF a
change for the better for some time
to come. Although news from the
mines is as cheering as at any time
in the history of the Comstock, still
nearly every one seems afraid to
touch stocks-all appearing to be
waiting tor something to turn up"
Money is remarkably scarce at this
time, and great difficulty is expert
enced by business men to meet their
monthly engagements. But such
stagnation cannot be of long dura-
ton, and ere rain falls again all will
be changed. There is just as much
money in the world as ever there
was; the bullion product of Cali
fornia's chief auxiliary-Nevada-
is daily adding to the wealth of the
country, and no good reason can be
given why the coming Fall shall not
witness repetition of the activity
always noticeable at that time.
IMPROVEMENTS, ETC.
The pride OF San Franciscoans,
the Palace Hotel, is fast approach
ing completion, and an elegantly
comfortable hosiery it will be. 1t
is thought that the grandest OF all
grand hotels will be open for the
public about the 18th of August
next. 10 attempt even an imperfect
description of it would require more
space than you could spare, and
could add nothing 10 those already
written by competent reporters.
Flood 81 O'Brien's splendid building
on Montgomery street is nearly
ready for occupancy, and attracts
the attention of all lovers OF taste
and enduring architecture. Many
other beautiful structures are in
course of erection, and improve
ments of all kinds are the order OF
the day. Perhaps in no city in the
world is the march of improve
ments in all matters relating TO real
estate and building more noticeable
than with US.
MINING MATTERS.
Now that the new has worn of
from the Comstock proper and
the people have time to pause and
breathe, other portions Of Nevada
are attracting attention. In no To-
cality Is this fact more noticeable
than is the case with the mines near
your own town of Silver City. Re-
cent developments all along the line
embraced in your district has drawn
the attention of members OF our
shrewd mining operators to the fact
that good mines can be found even
some distance away from the Ophir,
Consolidated Virginia and others
now so notorious. 1t does not re.
quire the wisdom of q prophet to
predict great stir in your section
during the next few months, and it
is generally believed that develop
ments will be made then tending to
prove the existence OF another Conn.,
stock lode. Even such long deserted
districts as the Palmyra, near Day.
ton, are commencing TO attract favor.
able attention, and much confidence
is exHT0ssed in the future OF that
district ThA Orizaba Mining Com

and Will soon be oAe of the leading
properties on the stock board, which
result will have the effect to revive
many other claims adsacent to those
owned by that company.
There are many faces familiar to
your section 70 be aeeu daily on.the
