New aluminum produced in the
United States during 19398. amounted
valued at
000, produced in 1929, accofding to
@ statement of the United States
‘Bureau of mines. Department of
Commerce The principal: producing
plant was hat at Massena, N. Y.,
where approximately 44 per cent of
the metal made in the United States
‘was produced. Other works ere at
Niagara Falls, N. Y.; Alcoa. Tenn.
and Badin, N. C.
According to the Engineering and
Mining Journal, the domestic price
of new alinum ingot of 23.3 cents a
pound was “announced, which price
prevailed until! the ‘close of the year.
A cerresponding reduction from
23.9 cents to 29.8 rents @ poundwas made ip the pride in the outside
market for metal 98-99 per cent
pure.
Uses
; Certain ‘ot the established .uses
for aliminom showed decreases in
1930 in demand for the metal, but
these were more than offset by gains
in . other™ “uses, particularly in strong
aluminum * alloy materals, in electrical “conductors, and in paint. New
uses have been developed and improvements made in older applicatjons largely as a result of, industrial
research. . -'
. Lessend Ghuauiaptic of aluniinum
in 1930 was especially to be noted
in the automobile and aircraft branches of the transportation industry
O.ther branches of transporpation,
however, and certain other fields of
eonsumption showed increases in de“mand for the metal, notwithstanding
the fact that these same suffered a
general curtailment of production.
Builders-of truck and bus bodies,
for example, incorporated aluminum
_ ptrength-members in body frames,
in addition to low-stresse parts, such
to lightas paneling and roofing.
Tank trucks of gasoline haulage and
trucks for heavy commodities, such
es coal and sand, to light merchandise now utilize aluminum in the
form of strong alloy sheets ‘and
structural shapes, heat treated to
develop mean Jolla B prod
ties, (*
The icaeaatiee in 1930 of.a new
piston allow, of low expansion. coefficient, further insures the market
for aluminum pistons. It is reported
_ that over 75 per cent of the automobile passenger car manufacturers in
this country are at present using
aluminum alloy pistons. :
Large structural shapes of strong
aluminum alloys, available in. sizes.
up 85 feet in length and 14 inches
in depth, were produced for use in
yailroad and railway: car construction, for trucks and buses, and guch
units as cranes and hoists.
. Strong aluminum alloy wire was
Introduced during the year by a
prominent fence manufacturer as @
new material for woven fence and
barbed wire. Another manufacturer
started the ‘production of aluminum
window screening. In both instances
durability is the prime advantage of
aluminum. The resistance ef aluminum to atmospheric corrosion is also department tare devoted to preventresponsible for a steady increase in ing the
‘agricultural products likely to conthe use of the metal as a foofing and
gheet metal material, and for even
sharper increase in ite use as an orpamental metal on the exteriors of
office and public blildings. This. lattre field showed great activity in
1930. Aluminum spandreis, window
frames andsills »sky-ights, finals,
grilles, balustrades, store-fronts, and
other ornaniental metal applications
_both exterior,and interior, satisty the
architec’s demand for a durable
whie metal ‘that is atrong but easily
fabricated.
The use of aluminum paint has
rapidly expanded both in the industria} field and in the building field.
An important development in 1930
was the completion of tests of aluminum paint as a priming coat on
wood, applied to the lumber before
shipment from: ‘the mill. This millpriming is applied by machinery and
gives a protective coating 99 berth

The use of airplanes in connection
with forest fire contro] work, states
Mr. Show, is now 4n, aecepted institution and is annualy becoming
more valuable to the Forest Service
and-cooperating fire prevention agencies. Contrary to general belief, airships aré not’ used on‘definite patrol
routes over the forest but are employed for “spoting’’ fires following
thunder or lighting storms, or when
the country is so full of haze and
smoke that the ground Yookouts are
ineffective. When iaftge fires. are
burning, airplanes are also ased for
scout duty, since they enable the
observer in a short time to secure
correct information as to the. dfrection and rate of spread of the flames,
the character of the topography and
the nature of the forest cover in
which the fire is burning. Airplanes,
as one forest ranger has expressed
ty’? and allow pf the concentration . of man-power and fire fighting
machinery at the point of greater.
Valuable stands of timber and brush
covered watersheds are thus preserved with minium expenditures of
fire fighting funds.
In addition to scout duty, airplanes are also used by the Forest
Service for fielivering messages,
plies directly to isolated base camp
on large fires. In one emergency
where fuel was needed for the operations of a portable water pump on
a large delivered by plane to the fire
line. The gasoline was placed in onegallon) containers enclosed In wooden boxes wired together and packed
with a heavy huffer of paper in mail
sacks, Within one hour after leaving Spokane, more than 100 miles
distant in air line, the airship was
over the fire and the gas delivered
to the pump. Hight of the ten gallon
cans dropped from the plane were
received in good condition.
The Forest Service, and Regional
Forester Show, does not operate its
own planes, but annualy lets contracts to commercial companies for
a minium number of flying fours to
be used on fire reconnaissance and
control work: The contractor furnishes the ships and piolits, and the
Forest Service the obersovers. Air

thus far have been found in an old
assessment hole near the Sunshine.

wide that pans better than $20, to

100 tons of the fines has been made
with the: King Solomon mill, milling
started Wednesday. As the plant is
only a unit of 5-stamps, with small
ore bins, the better: part of the
month will be consumed. It is estimated that there is 10,000 tons of
fill along the old stope.
As all of the mills are on the
mines that are now leasing, with no

partners will find time to explore
for the so-called ‘‘pinched out’ of

1921. :
It added that an extended investigation of all evidence presented had
