ALUM mum.

Aluminium, its cost and use, have
had considerable light thrown upon
them in recent addresses, the last
being Mr.. Joseph W. Richards, of
Lehigh University, in the Journal
OF the Franklin institute. He puts
the situation as to the price neatly
by saying that six years ago alum
inium was Sl2 a pound, three years
ago S5, in January $3.50 and it has
already gone down to 81. The low
est theoretical cost OF making alu-
mlnum was placed in a recent cal
culation at 20 cents pound. This
is about the price of tin. A third
higher than copper, and, roughly,
five times the cost OF lead, and ten
to twenty times the cost of bar OF
iron and BesssmeI steel At 81 a
pound aluminium will be one-six-
teenth the cost of silver, which it
nearly equalled in value fifteen
years ago.
Even at this cheap rate it's value
and uses remain to be developed
and mechanical difficulties to be
overcome. 1t will be at least fivo
or ten years before this remarka-
BILE metal really affects life. When
it does the change will be greater
IN domestic and ordinary lite aud
less in commerce and communica-
tion than have been produced by
the fall of steel rall from $50 to
S2S ton in twenty years, the re
duction of copper over one-half in
value in the past 20, or even OF sill
yer one-fourth in value in seven
teen years.
1t is not unlikely that the most
important change wrought by al n
minium will be its use in countless
small articles of daily domestic use
dishes, cooking utensils. handles,
fixtures and fittings, for which it is
perfectly fitted. 1t may be used in
larger constructions, but this does
not appear certain, and with a
steady cheapening in irol and steel
this does not seem possible. Den

From present indications through
out the Il cky mountains there will
be genuine mining boom during
the coming summer Mines that
have for long time lam in state
of statu quo are now being worked
many districts rich in mineral but
undeveloped, are receiving the at
tention of prospectors and capital
lists, and there is a general forward
movement in the mining Of pre-
cious motals. New Mexico is rich
in minerals and the country has
been prospected over but to a very
limited extent. We may look for an
awakened interest in the mineral
resources of this Territory during
the next summer. - Democrat.

From the Socorro Advertiser:
j. j. Leeson, who is somewhat
of a pomologist and takes a great
interest in the fruit tree business,
has taken the pains to ascertain the
number of fruit trees in a radius Of
six miles from the plaza in Socorro,
finds that there are 23,9l7 fruit
trees, l,lSl nut trees, l,4l2 foliage
trees and 67,2l2 grape vines. This
does not include ras pberrIes, cur
rants, gooseberries or any of the

are barring, while r-ifths of the
grape vines bear.

SOME APHoRisMS.

Translated from the Fliegende
Blaetter for The Optic by Ger
man friend IL Kansas City.
Beware OF him who bows too
deeply before you; he Is very apt
to be looking for sand for your eyes.
Many a man becomes prominent
and famous through his enemies.
Poor champagne gives head
ache to those who drink it; good,
champagne, often, to those who
pay for 1t.
If all the world were good, there
would be no merit in being SO.
Age plays with the hair like aut-
umn does with the leaves.
He who has loved but once
should not speak, because he is like
the man who has smoked but one
cigar; the first one making those
of tender years generally very sick.
Matrimony is called holy because
1t makes so many martyrs.
Those absorbed IN thought will
do things thoughtlessly.
Apologies are mostly made for
having told the truth; seldom for
having stated a falsebood.
Friendship between two women
is often a coniuration against a
third one.
Ten sages Can more easily conceal
their wisdom than one fool his
ignorance.
SO many persons solely aim TO
hit the nail on the head, regardless
of the fact that the point will enter
the heart Of their best friend.
Vlnum Is two thirds of dioinum.
The last love is usually consider
ed the first and the first one the
last.
