MINERAL PRODUCTS. 27 a capital of several million dollars, has, it is understood, been or ganized by an amalgamation of certain French and Swiss interests and of certain metal interests in the United States. The company contemplates erecting a plant where more than 100,000 horsepower will be developed. Whether the European war will interfere with the progress of this work can not be stated, but it is hoped that it will not. The mineral bauxite, the raw material from which metallic alu minum is made, comes from Arkansas, Tennessee, Georgia, and Ala bama. Arkansas furnishes the bulk of the ore used in the manu facture of the metal. The three southern Appalachian States named produce the greater part of the bauxite used in the manufacture of aluminum salts. In 1913 we produced 210,241 long tons of bauxite, a marked in crease, amounting to more than 30 per cent, over the production of the preceding year, and in fact a marked increase over the produc tion of any previous year in the history of bauxite production. This increase is attributable in large measure to the advance in the me tallic aluminum industry. The imports of bauxite in 1913 were 21,456 long tons, valued at $85,746, or less than one-tenth of the domestic output. Most of this foreign ore came from France, which is to-day the leading bauxite-producing country of the world. With the interference with mining and shipping caused by the war it is a question whether this supply will not be greatly curtailed or com pletely cut off. This should greatly stimulate the search for new deposits and the working on a larger scale of the known deposits in the southern Appalachian States. Bauxite is not only used in the manufacture of metallic aluminum but is employed extensively in making alum and the aluminum salts in general, bauxite brick for furnace linings, and artificial abrasives. ANTIMONY. Antimony is ordinarily one of the cheaper metals, selling at one and a half times to twice the price of zinc; but after the outbreak of the European war it reached more than 20 cents a pound, a price higher than that of aluminum, though it is now lower. During the six years from 1908 to 1913, inclusive, the price of Cookson’s antimony ranged from 7.45 to 10.31 cents a pound, and the yearly averages ranged from 8.24 to 8.58 cents a pound. Much of the time during the present year the price has been still lower, and toward the end of July it Was quoted as 7 to 7.10 cents. Other brands have ranged from 0.25 to 1.25 cents lower. As has been pointed out in the United States Geological Survey’s reports, at these prices antimony ores can not he worked profitably under the high labor costs prevailing in the mining regions of the United States unless the deposits are very
