American Consular Reports.

For several years France was the only country producing aluminium, large mines of oxide of aluminium or bauxite, now turning out over 100000 tons annually, having been opened in the Departments of Var, Bouches- du- Rhone, and Herault. The number of French aluminium factories has increased in the region of the Alps, especially in the de- partment of Savoie, where there are six establishments. With the two other French factories, it is estimated that the total output is considerably above 25,000 tons an- nually.

Suicide.

About nine o'clock Monday morning the proprietors, clerks and customers in Escalada Brothers big store on Morley avenue were shocked and frightened by sui- eide, which took place on the main floor of the store. The victim of self imnnlation was Antonio c. Garcia, one of the clerks in tbe establishment, who had been III at the. hespital.
 At the time stated Garcia walked into the store. went to the case where fire arms on sale are kept, took out pistol, slipped some cartridges into the magazine, pnt the barrel to his left eye, pulled the trigger and fell dead almost instantly.
 Justice Chatham impanelied a coroner's jury which investigated and returned a verdict in accord ance with the facts related.

in 1889 at Neuhausen in Switzer- land has had a most successful existence. Starting with an an- nual production of 90 tons of aluminium, 1t turned out no less than 2,62l tons in the first nine months of 1910, valued at more than $S40,000. The company, some few years ago, established branches at Rheinfelden, in Ger many, and Lend-Gastein, in Aus tris, and later opened another st Chippis, Canton Valais, Swit2er- land, all of which are operating successfully. The company IS capitalized at $5, ,404 ,000, which 1t is proposed to increase to $6,021,- 600 Its stock has never yet paid less than 12 per cent, in 1906 is paid 26 per cent on par value of 1000 francs ($193
 The Swiss control of the alumi- mum market, which had existed ioy several years, passed away with the opening of the American fac tories at Niagara, for neither Swift zerland nor France possesses such rich mines of oxide of alumiDnm and such sources of electrical eDer- gy as the United States. Negoiia- tions were begun year ago with the view of limiting the production of aluminium and keeping up the prices, but owing to the attitude of the AmeEiean producers, the nov ement has not been successful up to this time.
 Aluminium has become indispen- sable in the construction of auto mobiles, dirigible balloons, and aeroplanes. It Is employed also in paper decorations and for wrap I ping purposes. It ha1 been found of enormous advantage also in the textile industry. Combined with silk, it makes brilliant fabric, which can be given any desired color and which can not be excel led for making ceremonial costumes and theatrical wardrobes. In ad- dition to the ordinary uses, 1t is ] also employed in the manufacture of retlcules, scarfs, and various articles of use and ornament, and because of the high price of copper 1t has been largely used as a snb- stitnte for that metal in the man. ufaetnre of electrical cables.

THE MEXICAN ANNIVERSARY.
It's Celebration ia Nogales. Sonora, the Most Enthusiastic and Sue
 cessful in Many Years.

eessful ln Many Years.
 Friday, Saturday and Sunday the people of Nogales, Sonora, cele. brated the one hundred and eleventh anniversary of Mexican Independence with a verve and eclat seldom manifested anywhere, such as has not been shown in the line city heretofore. From the opening of the fiesta on Friday until its close with the last strains of music at the close of the grand baile in the early hours of Monday morning the time passed in one long continued round of gaiety and splendor. The city was decorated handsomely and the illuminations at night were magnificent and effective. Flags were flung to the breeze and bunting was draped everywhere, while hundreds of Chinese and Japanese lanterns hung in front of all the buildings added to the color of the decoration and contributed to the brilliance and radiance of the illumination at night. The custom house was blaze of splendor with long lines of electric lights along the pediments and the cupola; and the plaza and band stand in its center were lighted brilliantly.
 Friday evening the patriotic exercises were conducted in front of the custom house. Eloquent addresses were made and soul stir ring music was rendered.
 Saturday morning was devoted to the grand parade, in which there appeared the military stationed at Nogales, Sonora, various civic associations, the Nogales Fire De partment, a number of imposing floats and numerous gaily deco rated carriages. The evening was given over to music and fireworks, a band discoursing patriotic airs from the plaza and the fireworks being set off on a hill overlooking the town. The display was the most brilliant ever seen al the line city.
 Sunday was devoted to sport: generally-horse races, foot races etc.; and in the afternoon the streets were thronged with merry makers throwing confetti and ser. pentina. At evening the grand ball was given, and the happy throng danced until daylight Mon. day morning.
 Taken altogether the celebration was splendid in every particular and one to be remembered long in the line city. Those managing i deserve hearty commendatioD.
