e-l.E CLIMATE OF SAN FRAN
. CISCO.
Our Eastern Friends Find 1t Hard te
Understand How 1t Works.

That the climate of San Francisco is
delightful nobody will deny-least of
all, those of us who are blessed with the
privilege OF enjoying it the year round,
unless enticed by deceptive advertise
ments to try for week or two some other
climate alleged to be better.
Our Eastern visitors are even more
enthusiastic than the natives, but some
how reams of information and advice as
to the proper clothing to bring seem to
have no effect upon the contents of the
visitors trunks
The Eastern woman associates July
with sunstrokes, tornadoes, whirlwind
sea bathing and the like, and nothing can
induce her to come to San Francisco
without the raiment adapted to such
functions.
And when upon arrival she finds the
delightfully."- refreshing fogs of the morning
succeeded by the comfortable glow of the
MONDAY sun as the fog melts away, and
followed by the cooling twenty-mile
breezes Of the afternoon, establishment
struggles with delight for the mastery in
her soul.
And there is all the more enjoyment
in the new and the unexpected when it
causes her to betake herself to our COM
mercial ernporiums to adapt her ward
robe to the climates Of her environment.
She is blessed not only in the circum-
ambient breezes and fogs, but in the
bargain counter joys to which they lead.
Most inhabitants Of the planet have
heard of the glorious climate of California
but few seem to get any advance in
telligence Of the glorious climate Of San
Francisco. HI
We warn our visitors not to be de-
ceived. The glorious climate Of San
Francisco belongs strictly to this city.
We are, to put it bluntly, monopolists in
climate. There are other climates which
presumably have some virtues, if we
may believe the tales Of those who live
in them, but there is but one glorious,
climate Of San Francisco. and we own
it. But we are Hospitality glad to share
its blessings with all who come here to
enjoy its delights
For my part, / prefer summer when
I can wear summer clothes and can hang
away the heavy coats and sweaters and
furs out Of sight. Here nearly half Of the
women one meets at the fair are wearing
suit jackets with furs and carrying heavy
winter coats over their arms to be pre-.

half are wearing the heavy coats al day

EXPOSITION DREAM OF
PARADISE.

San Francisco, July 20, 1915.
I am so thoroughly enjoying my rest
from newspaper work that it is with
difficulty that I drive myself to write
even this weekly letter, and this week it
has been particularly hard to get down
to business because I've found place
where I can keep comfortably warm
even while doing nothing. Since we
arrived in San Francisco the 9Th Of
July until the Goth we simply have not
been able to keep warm. Before we
left home we were told it was cool here
and we accordingly brought along
wraps but it never occurred to us that
one would need as much as we wear at
home on the meanest of mid-winter
days and tho I've worn the one wooden
dress I possess until loath the sight of
it and have all but slept in my jacket,
still I've not had a really comfortable
hour. The sea breeze and the fogs eat
their way into the very marrow. I
finally decided I must find warmer
place and after stopping twice at places
recommended to me as being warm I
finally came to little town located in a
valley and sheltered from the sea by a
hill. Here the climate is ideal; warm
days, cool nights, and it's only a short
ride by electric cars and ferry from San
Francisco. Last evening l was reading
a city paper which had leading edi-
torial on the climate. l append it here
with to show how San Franciscans
boost for their land, making capital out
of one of their greatest handicaps.

lation? No work has been dom on
the Extension ground for some time,
although all mining men agree that
the big veins run into the Extension
ground Please give me any infor-
nation you have relative to the Mo-
hawk Fraction Mining company.
Answer-The Goldtield Console
dated Mines company, under a lease,
extracted 200 tons of $40 ore from
the Extension company ground the
early part of last year. h opera
tions at that time exhausted the ore
supply, since which time no work
has been performed. The officials
of the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company, as we'll al those OF the
Extension company, would o
likely appreciate it If the mining men
whom you say "agree that the big
veins run into the Extension ground
would give their views in detail on
the subject. The Mohawk Fraction
company is defunct according to the
best information obtainable.

Question: wish you would let me
know whether you consider the A.
lanta a mine. | am puzzled about
the different reports published.
Several weeks ago it was announced
that five feet of $40 ore was being
mined in a certain working and sub
seluently it was reported that the
same five feet of ore was yielding
values of only $40 per ton. Can you
throw any light on this?
Answer-Although the Atlanta is
not a steady producer, we consider
it a mine and that it possesses a
promising future. Assay values of
faces of ore almost invariably differ
from day to day.
