Arkan..s Bau1ic. and AIuminnm.

Chas. D. Walcott, director of the United States geological survey, has issued the following bulletin on alum mum and beauxite, which will be of interest to Arkansans
 Aluminum-he production of alum mum in the United States during 1901 amounted to 7,150,000 pounds, an increase of 1,150,000 pounds over the year 1900. The Pittsburg Reduction Company, operating the Hall patents. remains still the sole producer of aluminium in this country. The price of aluminium per pound remained prac- tically stationary throughout the year, although the demand for the metal in creased. The total imports of all forms al aluminium in 1901 were val. ued at $109,74S, as compared with S50,444 in 1900.
 Bauxite-1eorgia produced the bulk of the bauxite in 1901, the remainder being supplied by Alabama and Ark ansas. The total production was 1S,. S05 long tons, valued at $79,914, as compared with 23.1S4 tons, valued at SS9,676 in 1900. Bauxte is used
 
 mum, although a considerable quan- tity is used for the manufacture of aluminium sulphate and crystallized alum. The Pittsburg Reduction Com pany is installing a large plant at Bauxite, Saline county, Arkansas, which promises to increase largely the output from Arkansas in 1903 The import of bauxite into the United States during 1901 amounted to SGT. l17; the exports were valued at s30O,. 900, and the consumption seems to have been 39,658 long tons, valued at $151,262. The imports in 1901 were 1S,3l3 long tons, as compared with S,656 tons for the preceding year, an increase due mainly to the low ocean freight rates from foreign ports This low freight rate caused bauXite to be delivered, duty included, from the south of France at New York. Phil adelphia and Baltimore at lower rate per ton than it cost to ship it from Georgia or Alabama to Philadelphia The principal commercial salts of aluminium are aluminium sulphate and crystallized alum. for the manufac- ture of which bauxite and Greenland cryolite are used. The Pennsylvania Salt Company possesses the exclusive privilege of importing cryolite into North and South America. In 1901 the production of aluminium sulphate was 74.721 short tons and that of crystallized alum was 7,755 tons.

President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers to Meet Labor
 Commissioner Wright.
LATTER ACTING FOR THE PRESIDENT.
While PosscssinE No Power to Act, Under Existing Conditions, the President Is Desirous of Getting Full Information With Reference To the Strike.

Nilkesbarre, Pa, June 10.=Presi- dent Mitchell left here at 11;o5 over the Lchigh Valley railroad for New York, where he will meet Carroll D. Wright, the United States eommis- sioner of labor, at the Manhattan hos tel. He expects to return to this city Tuesday morning. Mir. Mitchell went to New York at the request of Mir. Wright. with whom he had been in communication. When this informa- tion became known, rumorS of peace were revived. and for awhile they flew thick and fast. AIr. Wright, it is believed. will directly represent President Roosevelt.
 Accoring to Washington dispatches, MT. Wright and Senator Hanna held conference with the president dur ing the last two days on the strike situation in the anthracite field. Whether Mir. Wright carries plan for peace is not known at this time
 Mir. Mitchell said before leaving that he did not know what Mir Wright wanted to sec him for. It is not believed that the president or the commissioner of labor will interfere, because they have no authority to do anything more than investigate the causes of strikes. It may be that the president wants to obtain thor ough knowledge of the dispute, and that he wants it officially. and for that reason he has sent his personal representative to New York to meet President Mitchell

 Mrs. Mabie. who was burned to death. was asleep in her apartments.
 The fire started in the Arcade building on Broadway and destroyed that building, together with the Schakleford and the Theater Sarato- ga, located in the Citizens national bank building. That portion of the latter building occupied by the bank was damaged only by water The contents of the safes and deposit vaults remain intact.
 Fortunately there was no wind. Otherwise the fire, which was in the heart of the city, and not far from several of the largest houses, might have developed into a general confla- grafton. By hard work the fremeu succeeded in checking the flames, and at 5:25 q. m. the fire was pro nounced to be under control
 Chief Shadwick was injured in res cuing Mrs. Hart from one of the burning buildings.

street has no name that indicates it's loca-
tion, and the people here are surprised at
this settlement of First street, Second
street, Third street and Fourth street and
Of numbered avenues About 5000 build
ings are to be erected and about 600 are I'M
der roof. The houses are called cottages,
but they are in reality little two-story
bricks of from four to six rooms built in
blocks. Each house has its bath and its
electric light, which are quite curiosities
in workmen's dwellings in England. The
houses will be rented at cheap rates to the
Westinghouse men, but there will be no
compulsion, and any man can live where he
pleases.
The town company expects to put up a
large hotel for commercial travellers, and
will also have schools and club buildings
and recreation grounds. I understand hat
a number Of Americans have stock in the
company and that some have bought land
adjoining the town expecting to grow rich
of the increased values created by the
Westinghouse works.
A~stOnishes the Britishers.
The rapid construction of this factory has
been a miracle to the English. The Job
was offered to the local contractors on
the condition that 1t should be finished
within twenty months. The Englishmen
replied that no man living could put up
buildings like these in less than five years.
The Westinghouse company thereupon
went to America for its builder. They
chose a ~smooth-faced, stocky contractor
named Stewart, who had made a reputa-
ton for quick work in Pittsburg, Chicago
and New Orleans. They showed him the
plans and told him that they wanted the
buildings completed within fifteen months.
Mr.. Stewart replied that he could do It
and he put the plans in his left breast
pocket and started for England. He had
never crossed the ocean before, but this
did not phase him. He took a corps OF
Yankee assistants with him to use as su-
p~erintendents and settled down in a little
hotel outside the works. He had only 23t
men when he began, but four weeks later
his force numbered $500 and by advertis-
ing extra wages he got the best Of the
English bricklayers and carpenters for
miles around to work on his job. His men
kept a record of what each hand did and
the prospect Of completing the building was
daily estimated by the amount being done

buildings you can plainly see tho old an

Elizabeth reigned, looking out of the trees.
Sir Edmund Trafford was knighted by
Henry vi, 1t may have been because the
king thought he had discovered, as he
claimed. the philosophers stone, which
would turn everything 1t touched into gold.
However this may be, the Trafford family
has been a rich one throughout the genera
lions and 1t has, 1 understand, other valu-
able estates outside this today.
How HOOIey Made $4,000. 900.
In the last few years. however, the means
Of Sir Humphrey de Trafford became Grip
pied by extravagances of various kinds and
he sold his ancestral home, so It is said,
to pay debts of honor. At any rate It came
into the hands of Hooley, the mushroom
millionaire, who made a fortune in floating
companies in association with lords and
dukes, whom he bought by the score at SO
many guineas per head for the use Of their
names. Hooley paid about 49, 00, 900 for
the property five years ago and later on
sold 1t to the Trafford Park company for
5000. 900, making a cool $4,000, 900 out OF
the operation.
The Trafford Park company still owns
the most Of the estate and 1t was from
them that the Westinghouse company
bought the land for their shops. They
have 1870 acres and therefore plenty Of room
for expansion.
Other shops have sprung up on other
parts Of the park. for the place is espe-
cially fitted for manufacturing. 1t is Just
on the edge Of the sister cities Of Manches-
ter and Stafford, which have a population OF
$780, 900, and is the most thickly settled part
Of industrial England. The park borders
upon the Manchester ship canal, so tina
the factories within 1t have a water route
to the sea. The country about 1t is grid

out Of his men or the buildings would not
be completed In time. He was surprised
at the poor results obtained in comparison
with what he had been accustomed to in
the United States and 1t seemed to him
that the men were not doing half work.
The masons were laying only 450 bricks a
day and upon his Directing he was told
that $50 bricks were the tale required of
each man by the London county council.
Mr.. Stewart told the men that they ought
to lay as many as 1000 bricks a day and
they laughed at the idea. BY pushing and
by rewards he at last got them up to an
average Of 800 bricks a day, but there
stopped. He then imported some American
masons and set them working beside the
English laborers. The Americans easily
laid from 1900 to 1900 bricks daily, and
the Englishmen, who were too proud to be
beaten by the 'blarsted Yankees" put on
a squirt and did equally well. Stewart in
creased the pay according to the work and
there was no objection from the trades
unions. The bricklayers kept up their hus-
thing from that time on to the end and the
result was that he got an average Of 1000
bricks daily out Of each Of them.
He pushed the carpenters in much the
same way and by the use of automatic ma

he put up all the buildings in the time he
had contracted for and made e reputation
for himself as a wonder among the con-
tractors OF England. He is still in the
country and has been asked to take charge
Of the building Of the Midland hotel in Man
chester. The hotel was begun before the
laying OF the foundation Of the Westing-
house works, but little or no progress has
been made upon 1t. The Midland railway
wants the work rushed and it has given
the charge Of 1t over to Stewart. Mr..
Stewart says there is no trouble in handling
