Mining Engineers VIII Feed Babies
of Belgium---Your Help Is Desired

United States goods to the amount Of
s125,000,000. We have not even paid a
fair commission thereon. Reduced to
a per capita basis. we have SVEN Sc
iapiece. Canada has given 1Sc per
capita, New Zealand 1924 and little
Tasmania 1925 head Yet the Unit
ed States gets most of the credit. We
have been obtaining gratitude under
false pretenses.
This is naturally discouraging to us
Nwho know Belgium and appreciate the
work of American engineers in Bel
GUM These men have been keeping
alive population of 100000 on one
meal a day. This is not enough for
children. would you like 1t for
Iyours?) At present 100000 children
are falling in health, and the c. r. B..
has asked us Americans to assume the
proper feeding of these children as our
little share Of the big job.
| To do this right, the C. r.. B. has
started to give the children nourish-
ing MONDAY meal, and they have not
the money to carry 1t on. This costs
only 81 per month per child -(3c a
day.. This seems incredible, but as
THE overhead expenses of the c. r. B.
are only ga Of ! per cent of the gross
cost you will understand that this is a
real engineering efficiency.
As engineers we want to show our
appreciation and SO we have organic

new venture We would like to cable
Hoover before Christmas that we will

Don't you want to come in with us

COPPER SELL At 4OC
BY END OF NEW YEAR
CHANGE OF sENTlMENT-PRIcE
is NOT DEPENDENT
ON THE WAR.

French inquiry for 25,000,000
pounds of copper for delivery in the
second half of next year, the selling
of spot electrotlytic at a new high
record price, tremendous demand
from domestic consumers for first half
copper, serious shortage of copper
for this delivery, a pressure on pro-
ducers to open their books for last
half business, have been the develop
ments In the copper market since our
last market letter Last week 1t was
stated that there were rumors that
another tremendous foreign purchase
Is impending. The French inquiry
was announced on Thursday. II was
stated that domestic consumers are
willing to place their second half re-
quirements under contract. Definite
acknowledgment of such inquiries has
since been made by leading produc-
ers, says the Mining World.
Business Excited.
Business in copper recently has been
excited. Consumers who were in need
of first quarter copper shopped around
all of the leading producers without
filling their wants. Dealers who are
holding large blocks of metal available
for nearby delivery are selling spar
ingly waiting for higher prices Cop
per has sold at 80 Y cents for spot 81
@31h cents for first quarter delivery
and 30@30b cents for second quarter
delivery. Predictions that the red met
al will sell at 40 cents a pound before
the end of the year are being heard
The extent of the copper requirements
of domestic consumers for delivery in
the first quarter that must still be
purchased appears to have been great
ly underestimate. One important
wire drawer is now seeking 100000
pounds month for the first quarter.
Several brass makers are negotiating
for 100000 to 100000 pounds
month for that delivery. There are
even some million pound lots being
sought for December delivery The
amount of copper inquired for in car
load lots is also tremendous.
Dealers in Control.
With dealers controlling the entire
situation over the first quarter the
fact that premium market for copper
has arrived can not be disputed. The
inability to increase production Of
copper is primarily the cause of the
tight situation now prevailing. Con-
sumers who felt secure in the belief
that that output would run above 200,-
100000 pounds month by the first of
the new year have since come to
realization Of the fact that consump-
tion will be greatly in excess Of the
output Producers warned these con-
suners who felt secure in the belief
to heed the injunction Price consid-

TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS
BY GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
ACCURATE SURVEYS OF AREA
ESTIMATED AT 100000
SQUARE MILES.

The project of covering the 5000, 900
square miles of the United States
with accurate topographic surveys was
definitely adopted by the federal gov
eminent in 1882, and the work is even
now less than half completed. The
standards of accuracy and refinement
in topographic surveying have been
constantly raised by the topographic
engineers, with the view of meeting
adequately every use to which the re-
sulting maps can be put The law
provides for the sale of the United
States geological survey maps at the
cost of printing, charge that must
be considered merely nominal when it
is realized that the cost of an edition
of the printed map may be only a
small percentage of the cost of sur
veying the area it represents. The
government itself is making a large
and increasing use of these topogra-
public funds for these surveys is 9TH
lerwise fully warranted only as the
Public uses the maps. To promote this
use the survey has recently given more
attention to the wider distribution of
the maps.
| The distribution of a government
map is largely problem of publicity,
though the necessity of adopting COM
mercial business methods in handling
orders for the maps when once de-
mand is created must not be over
looked. In informing the public of the
existence of authoritative maps pub
lished by the federal government, a
special effort is now made to reach
the communities in each area covered
by map, and to this end every map
as issued is brought to the attention
of the local and state press, as we'll as
Of postmasters and school teachers.
Scout Masters and School Boys Agents
Other methods of promoting wider
distribution involve the cooperation of
boy scout masters, school boys, and
Eotel managers, as well as of a large
number of book stores as local agents.
Within the last year the most help
full publicity has been gained through
the voluntary cooperation of several
press services and magazines of large
circulation, in connection with their
policy of bringing the people into clos
er ttuch' with the work and publica-
tons of the federal government. The
publication in one magazine of a brief
statement regarding the geological
surveys maps resulted within a month
in orders for $50 maps and thousands
of inquiries for the state indexes that
show the areas already mapped.
The periods of maximum demand
for these government maps are the be-
ginning of the vacation period and the
beginning of the school year. The
larger use of topographic maps in
l9l5-l916, both in the open and in the
class room, is a gratifying index of
the popular benefit already resulting
from the increase in the work of pub

II was no surprise that gold was
eagerly sought at the declaration Of
the war. The history of the war thus
far has been 10 increase the value OF
almost every commodity, metals in
cluded. Copper has doubled; steel has
advanced almost as much, and other
industrial metals in equal proportion.
With the ending Of the war this situ-
alton must to a large extent be req
yersed, a point that investors in gold
and silver companies should bear in
mind. Every we'll. informed banker
admits that feverish rush for silver
and gold at the end OF the war is in
evitable. Gold is standard and its
value is fixed by international agree
ment, but silver, though largely used
for coinage purposes, is also a COM
modify metal and its price may be ex-
pected to soar.
Demand for White Metal.
In addition to the demand for silver
for the arts, there Is large and con-
stantly increasing demand for the
white metal for coinage purposes.
With the warning nations boarding
their gold, silver must be resorted to
for coinage to pay troops and for gen.
eral circulation.
Viewed in the light of present con-
ditions or logical conclusions to be
drawn for the immediate future, no
other conclusion can be reached than
that the silver companies are in for
an era of unprecedented prosperity.
The Tonopah district of Nevada is
now and for years has been the lead
