Associated Charities.

Following a custom established by
them twenty years ago Saks < Co,
Seventh street and Pennsylvania ave-
nuC this morning presented more
than leo little poor boys with overeoats.
Long before old Sol was mp. the storm
Vestbules on the Seventh street side OF
the store were crowded with a shiver-
ing mass OF humanity waiting for the
doors 70 be opened.
Not a boy. white or coIored, wore an
overcoat. Few had gloves. and many
were only half shOd. Mothers, fathers,
and older sisters and brothers accom-
panied the lads, poverty written on
every face. 1t was far different crowd
that filed from the store.
Wearing heavy coats-and q great big
smiie-there was no hesitancy about
braying The chilly wind. and the drop
taken by the mercury Yesterday was

the distribution was made through
The recommendation Of the Associated
CHVities. Each case had been inves-
LSdJed by it, agents. aad where the
cause was "a needy one card good for

selected ont of this years stock, tho
lads being given the privilege Of select
ing whatever took their fancy.
One OF the most pathetic cases was

In another instance a mother brought
her nne-year-Jld son. There was every
indication of loverty about them. The
boy was shivering IN a worn out sum
mer suit. ana the woman was poorly
clad She had neen deserted by her
husband, Who was a drunkard, and only
came home To heat her. She mad been
unable 10 earn even "a hare living. and
mad other small children 10 support.
Joseph =. Saks was At tine sLu.r lnis

distribution of coats.
Besides presenting them with over

ORE DEPOSITS OF THE
SILVER PEAK QUADRANGLE

''Ore Deposits of the Silver Peak Quad
rangle, Nevada" is the title of a profess
sional paper CNO. 55) recently published
by the United States geological survey,
which will be welcome as a valuable ad-
dition to the library of the mining geol-
ogist and the professor of geology. 1t is
notable contribution to the literature on
the theory of ore deposits. a subject to
which the author, Joseph Edward Spur.
has already devoted considerable atten-
ton in his previous writings.
After describing the general geology of
the Silver Peak quadrangle, Mr.. Spur
takes Up the metalliferous deposits of
this area in detail. describing them first
and then discussing their genetic rela-
tons. developing finally from these OBJ
servations the theory of metalliferous
veins of magmatic quartz. Briefly stated.
the authors conclusion is that some au-
riferous quartz bodies may be of mag
matte origin, and may, indeed, be regard
ed as a phase of granite magmas This
conclusion supports the theory which he
proposed in 1898 TO explain the aurifer-
Gus quartz veins of the Yukon district in
Alaska The whole theory, including the
transition of quartz veins to Degmatites
and these to granite rocks, was at that
time original with him. but by continued
study ne finds that mere and more Of I
had been anticipated. until practically the
only portion left which he can consider
as original is the conclusion that granite

quartz veins, which are really the ultra
silicious form of the magma. may con-
tain metals. especially gold, in sufficient
quantity TO constitute ores, and the CO.
rollary, later announced. that gold quartz
veins are especially connected with intru-
sive bodies of granite rocks.
This most recent paper of Mr.. Spur 6
will be particularly interesting when read
in connection with his previous report
professional Paper No. 42) the ore de-
posits of Tonopah. which lies not far east
OF the Silver Peak quadrangle. The ore
deposits of Tonopah were described as
due 10 the action of rnagnatic waters and
vapors following the eruption of certain
tertiary volcanic rocks.
Nonmetalliferous minerals also occur IN
the Silver Peak quadrangle. and deposits
of these are described by Mr.. Spur.
About ten miles north of Silver Peak there
is a deposit of alum and sulfur in rhyo-
lite. The several playas within the quad
rangle contain demonstrations OF common
salt and borates of lime and soda. The
borax industry is dormant at present, but
has been of considerable Importance. Bo-
ron is one of the rarer elements and oc-
ours principally in deposits from dry taxes
or in deposits from volcanic funaroles

COPPER IN NEVADA.
Gold Not Likely TO Stand Pre-eminent
as States Chief Metal Product.

II present expeditions are realized. gold
will not always hold the premier position
among the metal products of Nevada,
says the Denver Mining Reporter Cop
per is beginning to make insistent claims
for recognition as factor of Importance.
In fact the reports of the later strikes
and excitements are concerned with cop
per rather than with gold, and although
the state has always produced some cop
per, it gives promise of attaining promi-
hence in that line.
The districts of greatest promise and
present interest are those of Ely and
Yerington in the northerly part, and the
newer discovered camps Of Cuprite. Fur
mace Creek and Greenwater in the south.
The latter must, perforce. be shared with
California but there is evidence that this
will in no wise detract from Nevada, for
if the new discoveries amount to much
they will be so extensive as to contribute
heavily to both states. Probably no bet
fer evidence could be offered in support
of the genuineness of the future of cop
per in Nevada than the fact that the
present known copper districts have lit
teraIly been invaded by large interests
which appreciate the future of that metal.

POSITION OF COPPER.
Are Pretty Well Fixed
for immediate Future.

The following view Of the copper stu
alton as taken by the National Conduit
q Cable company. which ranks as one or
the heaviest consumers of the metal in
the United States, is of interest:
Foreign consumers have been specially
urgent in getting their requirements filled
and the eagerness of the European con-
tingent to secure copper has gone far IN
exciting the market to a degree not before
witnessed since the days Of the Secretan
syndicate American manufacturers were
successful in getting a considerable pro-
portion of their orders on the books OF
producers and selling agents before the
market took the bit in its teeth, and many
of the big plants are pretty well fixed tor
some time to come There is some diff
Guilty in obtaining full supplies. and 1t IS
probable that consumers in this country
have not got all the copper they need
during the balance of the year.
Manufacturers continue very busy ana
the outlook is good for an active fall anu
winter. Sales of copper for near delivery
have been made at % cents, and in GER
tain instances at higher prices. according
as sellers have insisted on securing extra
premiums for the limited quantities Of
fered "
