The aluminum production of world in 1916 is set down at appro: mately 140,000 tons, of wheh approx- imately 62,000 was the prduct of the Uited States; 20,000 produs n France, 16,000 in Norway, and 8,000 in Canada. ' Figures differ radically as to Great Britain, ranging from 4,000, to 12,000 tons production. In Switzer land the normal product is about 2 000 tons, but has been materially re. duced by inabiity to obtan from Franees the bauxte from whch aluminum is produced. (Bauxite, the mineral from “which most of the world’s aluminum is pro- duced, is found in many parts of the United States, though the bulk of that now used in the industry is the prod- ust of the state of Arkansas, and is turned into the finished aluminum at several great establishments in various parts of the country, the most im- portant beng at Nagara Falls, water wer beng deemed an important ‘actor in its successful production. Other works recently established are in the States of New. York, Pemnsyl- vania, New_ Jersey, Maryland, Tenn- essee and North Carolina.
