CITY THAT THE "GOLD RUSHI" MADE.

San Francisco, the ninth city, ia' size) in the United Sates and the metropolis of California

and of the Pacific coast, is situated on the end

of a peninsula, which has the Pacific Ocean on one side, and the Bay of San Francisco on the other. The width of this tongue of land within the city limits is about six milce, and its whole |length about 26 miles.

Important changes in form of government. the coming of additional transcontinental rail- inys, the Oriental outlook, caused by the con- trol of the Philippine Islands by the United States, the increased trade with China, Japan, and the islands of the Pacific, caused a remarkable development during the last years, of the nineteenth century.

To-day the population is estimated to be̟ about half a million. Suburban communities have grown up about the city in mushrooin, fashion, and electric and steam railways and ferries bring these into clase communication with the city. There are in the city over 140 miles of electric railways, 77 miles of cable, roads, 12 miles of the steam system, and to miles of horse rail.

After many years of notorious Boss", rule, the city in 1896 elected a refarm mayor. This was the most important movement for good N

government in the history of the city since the vigilance committee of 1856. The city's control is centralised, giving more power to the mayor. The city is connected with the eastern sintes by three overland railways, the Central acific, The Southern Pacific, and the Aitchison, Topeka and Santa Fé routes. Besides these, it, has Traffic connections with three big Transcouti nental roads.

The presidio, or fortified settlement of San Francisco, was founded on 17 Sept, 1776 and | the mission, San Francisco de los Dolores, in the following October. In 1830, the population of the presidio consisted of about so Spanish soldiers and officers; these, added to the mis. sion, made an aggregate population of about In the stimmer of 1846 an American 200. man-of-war took possession of the place. The fast Legislature of California granted a charter to San Francisco on 1 May, 1850.

CITY OF WOODEN BUILDINGS, Within a few months of the establishment of municipal government the city sufleted severely an more than one occasion fuin Gre. The fire of May, 1850, destroyed property to the value of about 6:0,0:0; another, in the following month, was still more destructive-tco,000; and the dainage resulting from a third in Sep- zember was estimated at 100,000. These disas ters naturally led to the employment of mare substantial building material, gianne being im ported from China for some buildi gs, and iron and brick being used for others; but to this day nearly all the private dwellings of the city are of wood.

Througboat a considerable part of the city the streets are laid out in rectangular form, and nowhere with any reference to the natural elevations.

The most important business croughfare is, as has been, stated, the ill. fated Marketest,, which extends from the water front at the ferry landings to the hills on the, west, a distance of three miles or more. Many of the big streets are still paved with cobble stones, and basalt rocks, but of recent years asphalt, on a stone or concrete foundation, has begun to be used. The greatest attraction in the city is the Golden Gatė-park of 1,050 acres, having the ocean for its extreme westerly houndary. The greater part of this area was formerly a shifting sand dune,

ITS COSMOPOLITAN CHARACTER,

The City is of a peculiarly cosmopolitan characte; more so, in fact, than any other city in the United States. In igo, when the popu. lation was 343,000,117,000 were foreign-born. The Chinese population was then estimated at 25,000. Noi the least remarkable feature of San Francisco is the Chinese quarter, which Bes between Stockton, Sacramento, Kearney (one of the streets which has fared the worst), and l'acific streets, and consists mainly of tail tenement buildings, divided by narrow alleys, and swarming with occupante.

San Francisco is one of the wealthiest cities of the world, its City Hall, which is now in mins, cost nearly four million dollars, and there are an extraordinary number of mam moth hotels. In one part of the city signifi canly known as Nob Hill, numerous million- aire mining and railroad magnates, reside in palatia! buildings, standing in beautifully. wooded grounds. Besides its vast mining interests, the city ranks third among the por.s of the. Unies in the total value of its foreign commerce, which amountsteabout 450,090,000. [71 | Morning Lauder,
