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 it, “change uncertanity into certainblankets, fire tools, and medical suppat?ol planes in 1930 were located pe EO merr~* on ar accidents and only two foreed landings, aceording %o Ss. B. Show, chief of the California Region. 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.

INSPECTION COURTESY Motor tourists entering California are assured considerate and tourtequs treatment at. the hands, of ‘in-! spectors of the State Department of ‘Agriculture at the Various border checking stations, according to a statement by A; .C; Fleury, senior puarantine inspeetor, received by the California State Automobile Assocjation. RANDSBURG, Mereh 26. —Leasing hes not only been making better than wages ‘tn & number of the gold. properties, but it has gone forward a step and through surfdee. prospecting has, ‘heen . the means of the Beder. Two hundred feet south of the Bender, prospectors, Al Sanderson and Joe Shea, have, in their lease on the Bing Hole, all of the earmarks of the Bender shaft. This pair, about as good chloriders as one. will find in any gold camp, some 9 nionths ago, prospecting the nearby hills, found a rick two-inch stringer that paid them nearly $250 a ton from less than a four-ton mill run. This brought others to that portion of the local gold hills. What may be another strike, brought in this week on the Lueky Ray claim, is the $64 and $74 assays of a 56-inch stringer. ore, the prospectors were ready to try elsewhere, the owner, Ray Miller, asked them to wait for assay returns. The largest surface pannings thus far have been found in an old assessment hole near the Sunshine. The big, almost unbelievable story of three prospectors, Neil Grenfell, Jack Dempsey and Dave Walsh, finding a fill, 260 feet in length, 4 feet wide that pans better than $20, to the ton. A contract for the milling of 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 eustom mill until the Windy mill is eonnected with electric power, the partners will find time to explore for the so-called ‘‘pinched out’ of the early productive days. 0.

Robbins, of Chicago, as Editor, is announced by Ssott Turner Director of the United States Bureau of Mines, Department of commerce. Dr Partridge, who is associate editor of Industral and Engineering who will take charge of the Bureau of Mines.

At the same time, under an. appointment as research engineer in the Department of Engineering Research of the University of Michigan, he directed physico-chemical resarch on epuilibria in boiler waters. He will terminate both of these lines of activity about April 15, when he takes over the position at New Brunswick, — ‘Among Dr. Partridge’s publications are several papers on the formation and properties of boiler seale and the crystal forms of calcium sulfate, which have been collected and expanded in Bulletin 15 of the DepartUiversity of Michigan, and a number. of articles on chemicale engineering processes and equipment written for Industral and Engineering Chemistry.
