Il consideration of it's properties.
While it is extremely light, only
about 2 1a times heavier than water,
it possesses great malleab,lity, due
tility and tensile strength. 1t is cas-
lily alloyed with other metals, and
strongly resists the influences of air,
water and vegetable acids. For these
reasons it is to an increasing extent
employed in making kitchen utensils,
surgical appliances, jewelry, fancy ar
ticles, heavy bearings for machinery,
etc. In these various forms it is be-
ing exported to every grand divi-
sion of the world, our sales last year
being especially heavy in Canada, En-
gland and India. Japan, Australia,
Germany and Brazil rank next in
value of purchases from us, while
sales were recorded smaller quanti-
ties in practically every part of the
civilized globe. OF the aluminium
many and England are the important
sources. The crude metal is brought
from dozen different countries,
eight and one-third million pounds
from Germany, six and three-fourths
million from Canada, four and three
fifths million from England, two and
one-half million from France, one
million each from Switzerland and
Austria Hungary, slightly less than
one million each from Belgium and
Italy, and the remainder in the order
named, from the Netherlands. Nor
way, Scotland and Cuba.

ROCHESTER, WEAVER.

The annual report of the Roches-
ter Weaver Mining company, Love-
lock, New, for 1913, states that the
company has been operating it's prop
erty under the leasing system. From
all leases, 935 tons have been shipped
for which returns have been made
amounting to $30,254 or $31.74 per
ton to leases; $5.S5 for wagon haul,
$2.92 to the company for royalties
and $9.70 per ton for railroad
freights and treatment at smelter.
This does not include smelter deduc
tions or loss in treatment Develop
ment work consisted of $500 cubic
feet of trenches and cuts. $500 feet
of drifts and crosscuts, 100 feet of
shafts, 242 feet of raises and 1862
feet of wines. 1t is claimed that
ore has been practically established
to a depth of $50 feet. The compa-

HANDICAP
AT OKLAHOMA CITY

The Southwestern Handicap, the
first big Interstate Association trap
shooting tournament of 1914, was
held under adverse weather condi-
tions at Oklahoma City, Okla, on
April IA, Is and 16. NJ d. Dick
man of Durant Okla, while a minia-
ture gale was blowing, succeeded in
breaking SS targets out of a possible
100 at seventeen yards, winning the
main amateur handicap event, shoot
ing Arrow shells in Remington au-
toloading gun. The main handicap
event for professionals was won by
J. r. Graham, shooting a Remington
pump gun and breaking S5 out of
100 targets. In each of these events,
ninety-seven amateur and profess
sionals competed.
High professional average on all
targets was won by w. r. Crosby,
whose total was $50 broken targets
out of the 700, shooting Nitro Club
shells. T. A. Marshall was credited
with the long run of the three days
tournament. breaking 154 cOnsecu-
tive targets with a Remington gun,
and on the first day of the meet Mr..
Marshall won the main event with a
remarkable score, breaking 149 out
of 159 targets, using Arrow shells.
One hundred gunners besides Mar
shall competed in this match. George
w. Maxwell, of Hastings, Neb., was
high professional on doubles, break
ing AZ out of the so, shooting Ar
row shells in a Remington gun
Messrs. II. c. Hood and J. F. Cald-
we'll, shooting Remington pump guns,
were tide for first place on the second
day. Each broke 81 targets out of a
possible 100.
The next meet on the list of Inter
state Association tournaments for
1914 will be the Southern Handicap,
which is scheduled for May 12-14th,
at Roanoke. Virginia. Many cash
prizes as we'll as medals will be offer
ed for the various events.

ALUMINIUM IMPORTED into j. 5.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May s.
The increasing use of aluminium in
the United States is illustrated by
the fact that nearly 27,000, 200
pounds of that metal or manufac-
lures thereof were imported during
the last fiscal year, this being almost
double the quantity imported in 1910
or 1912 and representing 40 per cent
of the entire imports during the dec
ade ended with June, 1913. The i'm
ports in the first eight months OF
the current fiscal year for which
returns have been received by the
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce, department of commerce,
show some recession from the high
record imports of 1913, so far as
applies to crude aluminium, but they
are still coming in at a more rapid
rate than in 1912 or any prior year.
Ir the e. ght months ended with Feb
rUary OF the last three fiscal years,
imports of manufactured aluminium

$39S,6GS in 1913 and $S53,915 in
the current year; while those OF
crude and scrap aluminium, which
rose from $1,006.047 in eight months
.of 1912 to $2,72S,735 in 1913. reced-
Cd to 81 ,S64,262 in the current peri
Cd, their total being, however, con-
siderably above the average level
touched during the past ten years.
BY far the larger portion of the
aluminium consumed in the United
States is manufactured in our own
factories. OF last years importations
for example, agregating $1,000, 900
in value, manufactured aluminium
represented a total of less than three
quarters of million, and crude
aluminium four and one-third million
dollars. The importation of upwards
of 27,0O0.000 pounds of crude and
other aluminium is merely supple
mental to the home product, which
has advanced from 100000
pounds in 1908 to 65, 100000 pounds.
valued at $12,OO0,O0O in 1912. In
addition to this. we produce annu-
ally from 10000 to 10000 tons
of bauxite, the ore from which alum
mum metal is obtained, the output
in 1912 having been 1886 tons,
or treble the figure for 1908.
The extent and variety of the uses
OF aluminium may be inferred from

OPERATIONS Being CONDUCTED
ON TEXAS SULPHER DEPOSITS

yond the double production logically
expected.
A steady shipment of sulphur from
the Freeport mines has been going by
rail to the eastern and northern mar
kets ever since the first of the year,
and Texas load of sulphur shipped
through Freeport from the Freeport
Sulphur company's mines left on
Aprn s, on the Seaboard & Gulf
company's steamer Honduras. 1t was
also the first heavy tonnage of out
bound cargo that has left the mouth
of the Brazos river in nearly twenty
years
Loading OF the ship started on
April 5, and was finished on the eve
ming of the 7th. Sixty-six cars of
sulphur averaging approximately 33
tons to the car were used in loading
the Honduras, by a newly constructed
sulphur conveyor located at the east
end of the steamship company's pier
on the ship canal. This conveyor on
it's first test showed that it could
when slight mechanical changes are
made to perfect it, this device will be
able to even better this rate of de-
livery.
Part of the cargo on the Honduras
was consigned to Baltimore and the
balance will be discharged at New
York.
This marks the beginning of new
era of outbound tonnage from Free
port. which until the present New
York financial interests of promi-
nence took hold of it for develop
ment had laid dormant for nearly
two decades. The basis for this i'm
mediate deep water tonnage will be
the large future cargoes of sulphur
from the output of the Freeport Sui
phur company's mines at Bryan
Heights-Mining World.

DICTAPHONE SUCCESSFULLY
USED IN A SPEEDING CAk

The average business man who
prizes the dictaphOne as marvel OF
time-saving and efficiency, and who
appreciates the delicacy of it's con-
struction, may find it difficult to be-
leve that the instrument has been
successfully used in a speeding auto
mobile.
Yet that is precisely what was done
in logging the route of a run or
1872 miles near st. Louis, Mo. In this
instance the dictaphone took the
place of the laborious writing of
notes bearing on landmarks, danger
Gus crossings, grades, sharp turns,
etc.
After several trials, and before the
pathfinding run was actually begun,
il was found that the 1914 Cadillac
was best fitted to carry the dlcta-
phone and permit of its use while un-
derway The instrument was placed
in the tonneau and the notemaker
sat in front beside the driver, the
tube from the dictaphone being car
ried over his shoulder. The prac-
ticality of the Cadillac two-speed
axle in promoting smoothness and
steadiness in running was admirably
Il demonstrated on the trip, and al
tXugh the dictaphone was in con-
slant use while the car was running,
not a single record was marred by
vibration.
For the purpose of route-making
this experiment proved that the die
taphone is far superior to the or
dinary method of making written
notes, for the record is complete and
clear, practically because OF the dl1-
ficulty of writing legibly or rapidly
in a moving automobile.

Gently he sent by post to Bagdad
1000 liras of the amount he had
collected. Between Nejef and Ker-
bella, the post, guarded by one gen
darme only, was attacked apparently
by adherents of the tribes from
whom the taxes were collected The
money was taken from the man bags
and returned to the people. The Vail
has again resumed his task and is
said to have recovered 5000 liras
of the lost taxes and guarantees for
the remainder.

At the Mexican mill they have been
engaged in cleaning up and shipped
three bars of bullion to the Selby
Smelling Co.
At the Savage, the west drift from
the bottom of the winZe in the ID
street tunnel was extended 5 feet and
one set of timbers put in. They
saved % cars of ore at S11.95 per
ton. The face is in fill. The total
length of the drift is now % feet. A
south crosscut was started from the
end of the west drift and advanced
6 feet. This crosscut is to cut the
fill. Ten cars of ore at $5.93 per
ton were saved. One set of timbers
was placed. The face was in fill.
The Crown Point report for the
week shows $40 tons of ore sent to
the gloryhole from the Jacket shaft;
$3.50 tons of Belcher mine ore re-
ceived at the Jacket mine bins; that
on the 1900 foot level, 427 cars of
low grade ore were saved from the
raise and drift and that 20 feet back
from the face of the north DRIFT No.
1 a northwest drift was started and
extended 10 feet; that, on the 400
level necessary repairs were made to
south drift No 1, and that, Jointly
with the Yellow Jacket, the water
in the joint incline was lowered

sent to the mill bins also during
the week
The Belcher saved 90 cars of low
grade ore from the raises on the
l 500 level, and on the $50 level,
east crOsscut No. 1, necessary repairs
were made on the crosscut which is
used as an airway between the in
cline and shaft. On the 1900 level
they worked on the sill and the first
floors of raises No. 1 and No. 2. The
l 500 level joint incline was retim-
bered Is feet, now totaling so feet
below this level. This work was
done jointly with the Crown Point
and Yellow Jacket The water
stands As feet below this level on
the incline
At the Jacket mill $3.50 tons of
dump rock and 302.40 tons of Crown
Point mine ore were put in the mill
bins during the week. Other opera
tions are covered in the reports of
Crown Point and Belcher.
At the Overman repairs were made
to the shaft from the 1,2O0-foot sta
ton to the 1,3O0-foot station were
completed and they are now repair

TEN-STAMP MILL FOR
PROPERTY AT ATHENS

F. p. Cavanah is in from Athens
with samples of rock recently opened
on that property which will run from
SIS to $40 and higher for a width
of five feet. The ore was opened
on the 200 foot level between diorite
and andesite and the discovery will
probably result in the erection OF a
double Tetrault mill now operating
there. The Tetrault mill OF four
nps has done excellent work, but
Nj. Cavanah knows he has at last
got the ore that will justify him
into developing the mill end OF his
plant along permanent and DEFINITE
lines.
Part of the plan is to lay pipe
line for a distance of four miles To
bring water to the mill instead OF
hauling ore to the mill at an ex-
pense of 50 ton or $40 day.
Mr.. Cavanah holds the Athens
property as an indidivual investment
under bond and lease from Harry
Mcnamara. The mill has been run
ming only a week under the Cavanah
management, as only two stamps
were there when the change took
place and a lot of improvements had
to be installed. Eighteen men are
employed and the number will be
doubled within a week, as it is pro-
posed to go ahead with development
of the mine while plans for the new
enlarged mill are in progress.
Another addition proposed is
five-ton truck, which will contribute
to the lower cost of operation.-Bo-

International boundary. This is also
region where railway building has
been considered. Mr.. Capps will
give special attention to the investi-
CATION of the newly discovered gold
district in the Chisana basin. This
work is an extension of previous
reconnaissance surveys in this field
A detailed base map will be made
of part of the Juneau district, now
in Alaska and promising to become
one of the most important on the
continent. The purpose of the base
map is to make possible an exhaus-
tive study of the occurrence of the
gold ores. d. C. Witherspoon will
undertake the making of the base
map, which will be on a scale of 8
inches to the mine.
A detailed survey of the Kotsina
copper-bearing area was undertaken
in 1912, but unfortunately, the de-
lay in the appropriation during the
last two years has prevented its COM
pletion. 1t is planned that f. II. Mof-
fit and J. b. Mertie now complete
this work. B. l.. Johnson, with one
assistant, will undertake the detailed
geologic survey of the Port Valdez
gold and copper district. The base
map necessary for this work was
completed in 1913.
To coordinate and correlate the
various geologic surveys in Alaska it
is necessary to continue the studies
of the general geology and mineral
resources. Three geologists will be
engaged in this work during 1914
George c. Martin, assisted by r. Nj
Overback, will continue his studies
of the Mesozoic stratigraphy. He
will visit important localities in
southeastern Alaska, in the Chitina
Valley, and along the Yukon.
II. Nj. Eakin will undertake sup
Elementary Investigations of the tin
deposits of Alaska. He will examine
some of the occurrences of tin in
the York region of Seward peninsula
and in the Hot Springs district OF
the Tanana valley. Mr.. Eakin will
also undertake some general studies
of the occurrence of mineral deposits
and mining development in the
Nome, Fairbanks and Juneau dis
| trictS.
Alfred II. Brooks, the geologist in
charge of the Alaska surveys and in
vestigations, expects to leave fol
Alaska as soon as office work per-
mits, probably about the middle OF
June. He will devote special atten-
tion to the problems of quarternary
geology. including the genesis and
occurrence of placer deposits. He
will visit the Iditarod and Fairbanks
districts and, time permitting, the
Nome district. 4,-r. Brooks will also
join the Moffit party in the Kotsina
district and the Johnson party in
the Valdez district for brief periods
of time,
