CHEAPER ALUMINIUM.

The demand for aluminium is rapidly
increasing both at home and abroad, TO
the immense advantage of the Pittsburg
Reduction Company, which owns tho
two principal patents under which alu-
minum is produced. Therefore there is
a great deal of interested looking for
ward to the expiration of the HAL pat
ent'' granted to Charles NJ. Hall, April
.. 1889. and which is consequently about
TO expire. 1t is claimed that this is the
sole means by which the Pittsburg Re-
duction Company maintains its monopo-
ly. 1t is for the use of an easily-fusible
compound of cryolite and bauxite, from
which aluminium is obtained by electro
lytic decomposition. Some claim, how
ever. that even when the Hall patent
expires the Pittsburg Company will still
have monopoly on account of the
Bradley patent, which does not expire
until 1909, and, which protects various
details. such as the method of keeping
the eiectroiytic bath in molten condition.
Even after these patents expire the
Pittsburg Company will have an i'm
mense advantage on account of its large
plant. trained workmen and long ex-
perience. 1t is now greatly enlarging its
works. and expects, with reasonable
confidence, to maintain its pre-eminence
in the production of the metal even
after the expiration of its patents
1t has been said in favor of the Com
pany that while 1t has kept the price
higher than the metal might have been
secured from other manufacturers, it
has never been inordinate in its de-
mands. It is very likely, however. that
the price of aluminium will be forced
down shortly in sensible degree.

with water or milk and water. To
raise over night add half cupful of.
liquid yeast or one third Of a COM

one-th1rd of a teaspoon Of soda dis
solved in boiling water. When baking
powder is preferred use three tea
spoons; a rather large quantity, but
buckwheat -four is heavy. :" II

S|LER MAY NOT REFEREE
GANS-NELSOA FIGHT
Charley Lange Is Being Doomed
for Place if Change
Occurs.

Although the Goldheld club has def
nitely decided on George Siler for ref
cree OF the Cans Nelson fight, there is
a slight possibility that the veteran ring
Judge may not ofIiciate. In the Cans
against him. From the very outset.
Cans's manager. Sullivan. insisted that
Siler was too old to referee such long
fight. In the negro 8 camp there is
also feeling that Silsr is prejudiced
against Cans. These facts make il pos
sible that another man may be substi
tuted in Siler's place, Several OF Charlie
Lange's Goldfeld friends are booming him
for the place In case vacancy occurs.
Charlie is a retired pugillst and knows
the fight and wrestling game from top
to bottom, Just before leaving for Cold
field Nelson dropped into Langes saloon
and after talking ever the prospective
fight said that he wouldn't object TO
having O man like the Ohio champion
referee any fight he engaged In. Lange
Is well known TO both Cans and Nelson
and in case there should be hitch over
that Lange stands q good chance as both
the participants would probably give their
consent 10 his selection. Lange has a
reputation for honesty, and this combined
with his knowledge OF the game, would
tt him pre-eminently for the position
When approached regarding the matter
last evening Lanse had nothing to say
except that Goldfeld men who are boom
ing him for the place are well-known
sports OF the older days.

a point for Cans that was Justly his,
and having made IL. was content that

Even with this point settled friction
may arise over the time at which the

said today:
The articles of agreement read that
the men are 10 be given u purse OF $780,.
