The Mineral Industry says the pro-
duction of aluminium in the United
States remains in the hands of one con-
cern, The Pttsburg Reduction company,
which during 1896 put in operation its
new plant at Niagara Falls, known as
the lower works. The litigation which
stopped the operations of the Cowles
company is not yet definitely settled,
however. The production of 1896 was
100000 pounds, valued at $540,O00, as
against 100000 pounds, worth $495, 900 in
1895.
There was imported in 1895 25,294
pounds of the value of $7S14, and in 1896
the imports fell off 24,596 pounds, or
about 1928 less than in 1895, there be-
ing imported in 1896 only sos pounds,
valued a $591.
There are good deposits of antimony
in Nevada California, Montana and Ari-
zona, but a t present value of the ore, viz,
$40 or $50 per ton, there are very few
which can pay freight to the only anti
mony smelter in the United States locat-
ed at Chelsea, Staten Island and have a
margin for mining expenses The fol-
lowing is a list of the antimony deposits
of California, described in the report of
the state mineralogist Antimony,
Bousby, Erskine Creek, Grace Darling,
Padre and San Ermdio; all of the above
are in Kern county. In Riverside county
is located the Crowell antimony mines,
about five miles southwest of Corona
(nee South Riverside). The production
of antimony in the United States in
1895 was 9S2 tons valued at $37 905. The
production of quicksilver in the United
States in 1896 was derived wholly from
California as in previous years. The
new discoveries in Texas, which were
reported in 1895, have not yet become
productive. In 1896 there were 33,1SO
TASKS, valued at $1,227 $50, a slight de-
crease from 1895, which production is
given at 33,97S TASKS. or $1.313.5S9.

A PLOT FOR A NOVEL.
One Offered Ready-Made For the Desperate
 Lterator.

From the Boston Journal.
 A novelist in Boston-do not laugh, there are noyelists in Boston, yes, and actuaily living there-said to us the other day. IT could only find a plot" Here is a plot for him free of charge and the story is true one:
 In 1739 a lady-a real lady-came into Birmingham. England, with a handsome eouipage. and desired the landlord of the inn to get her husband, being determined to marry somebody or other before she left the town. The man bowed, and supposed her ladyship to be in facetiouse ehumor but being made sensible how much she was in earnest, he went out in search of a man that would marry a fine lady without ask ing questions. After many inquiries from poor fellows who were not desperate enough for such venture, he met with an excise man, who said he "could not be in a worse condition than he was, ana ac- cordingly went with the infikeeper and made a tender of himself, which was all he had to bestow on the lady, who imme- diately went with him to one who gave them a license and made them man and wife, on which the bride gave her spouse s20O, and without more delay left the, town and the bridegroom to ma out WHO sne was or unriddle this strange adventure. Soon afterward she was gone two gentle- men came into the town in full pursuit of her; they had traced her so far upon the road and, finding the inn where she had put up, they examined into all the particu- lars of her conduct, and on hearing she was married gave up their pursuit. and turned back. a
 Truly a noble dame, one worthy of full length portrait in the gallery constructed by Thomas Hardy.
 Why did this noble dame offer herself to the first conner? And why were the re- spectable males of the town so backward? There was no hint of scandal. Who were the pursuers? Did she wish by one sud- den marriage to escape one deliberately contrived and repugnant? Was the excise man pretty fellow in spite of his abject condition? Did she ever see him again? Did she ever regret that she had not braved the world and lived with him? Per haps the memory of her apparition haunted him; perhaps it reused him to doughty deeds. It's pity that MT. Hardy has not accounted for her action and her fate with his grim irony.
