This tree Is indigenous in various parts

several parts of the East Indian Islands
1t is handsome tree, 60 TO 80 feet in
height. Its compound leavos of ten to
twenty pairs Of small ob,on5 leaflets form
q dense foliage. The flowers arc white
when they first open, but socn turn yel
low. The fruit Is an indchiscent legume
or pod, 8 to inches long, straight or
somewhat curved. and with hard. brittle
exterior shell. The seeds, from four to
twelve in number, are each surrounded
by tough, peppery membrane, outside
OF which, between it and the shell, there
is firm, juicy acid pulp, lraverscd by
strong W 1ody tibers, which start from the
fruit stalk. The rIpeness of the fruit is
known by tie brlttlcness Of the outside

COPPER.

This metal, says the Mining and Engineering Journal of March IS, still remains in its old position. Man. ufacturers and producers are quietly awaiting developments, each ready to catch at any signs of weakness on the part of the other. The wire mills are reported to be very busy, but the smaller brass concerns complain, and the larger ones do not appear to have any anxiety as to future supplies of raw material. Meanwhile, owing to mild weather, navigation is expected to open much earlier this year, and. then it will probably prove difficult for even the larger companies to stor copper from coming here in liberal quantities. Nominally, l94 @ i94e is asked; but we hear of no transac- tions. London cables e65 los. for Chili Bars, and 97l los. for Best Selected.

 San Francisco society is peculiarly constituted.

These crowds are known as the "Southern Ele- ment," the s'Nob Hill people," the "Army and Navy" the "English- men," and the "Hotel Crowd" They are all to be seen at any of the big receptions; the ladies visit one an- other, and are friendly, but each class IS distinctive, each has its own atfec- tations.

there IS obscure metamorphism, inn preparations of silica, and some modi- hcations of structure. The dike it. self has distinct vertical lamination or structure through most of it's sub stance, and is more or less penetrated by veinlets of quartz. In some DOT tions it is highly crystalline and nearly barren, and in others consists chiefly of a feldspathic base, in which the feldspar crystals are obscure. It passes into telsite, which, in the decomposed portions of the dike, and when slaty in structure, might be mistaken for the partly decayed shales or quartzite. Large DOT. tions of the dike are so penetrated by quartz as to consist largely of it, and might be called quartz, although close examination will show the presence of feldspar.
 There is also considerable amount of naturalization of the dike by iron pyrites disseminated irregularly in its substance in cubical crystals, most of which have dissolved out and left the cavities only to indicate their former presence, making in some places a spongy mass of DOT phyry or of quartz. Although the mine has been worked to depth of 600 feet, and there are some l2 to 15 miles of drifts, levels and winzes in the Contention and adjoining mines, the undecomposed ores below the water line have not yet been reached and mined, and all the ores above are in the decomposed and oxidized con- dition common to surface ores. A large part of the ore is highly charg- ed with red oxide of iron, to such an extent that the clothing of the miners becomes saturated with a rouge-like powder, and the tailings at the mills are blood red.
 There has been an extensive de- composition of the porphyry, espec- tally along the upper 300 feet of the dike, resulting in the formation of quantities or ite-clay laolin, some- times perfectly snow-white and pure, but generally more or less mixed with red oxide of iron. This kaoliniza- tion extends in places to the adjoip- ing shales, and there are some white, clay like interstratifed beds which may, on further examlnation, be found to be altered felsitic offshoots from the dike. It is not yet possi- ble to say what the exact nature of the ore below the water level will be found to be. The only metallic con- tents so far found, with the excep- ton of the pyrites and some galenite and lead carbonate, are gold and sil- yer in comparatively free state; part of the gold, if not all, being free, and the silver occurring chiefly as chloride, or horn silver with prob- ably some iodide) in crusts and films, also occurring in minute crystals up- on cleavage surfaces. The average value of silver ant. gold in the ores worked last year was about $70 per ton. The gold has of late increased from 20 to 25 per cent of the value of the product.
