LARGE GYPSUM BEDS.
Over Nine Billion Tons Estimated by
United States Geological Survey in
Utah Deposits.

Last year, while making an cyamina-
| ton of the coal along the eastern edge
of Castle Valley, Utah, Charles I. Lup-
ton, OF the United States Geological Sur
yey, made reconnaissance of the de-
posits of gypsum along the west bank
of the San Rafael Swell. Notes taken on
this reconnaissance form the basis of
report on this subject recently publish
ed by the United States Geological Sur
yey in Bulletin 530-N.
Area under examination is 60xs0 miles
long and 20 to 30 moles wide. The gyp-
sum bearing rocks in the area outcrop
in belt ranging in width from few
hundred feet in the vicinity Of Cedar
mountain or Red plateau, at the north
end of the area, to 3 or miles near the
center of the west flank of the Swell.
along the road leading from Emery east
ward to the Globe copper mine. Accord
ing to MIR. Lupton probably the most
convenient point from which TO visit the
gypsum bearing rocks is Cleveland, about
miles east of Huntington, A good Dad
leads from Cleveland in southeasterly
direction to Buckhorn fiat. A good road
has also been built from Emery cast
ward across the outcrop of the gyp-
sum. Next to the wagon road leading
from Cleveland to Buekhom fiat, this
road would be the best one over which to
haul the gypsum should it be mined.
So far as known no gypsum is now be-
ing mined in the San Rafael Swell re-
gion, although it il possible that small
quantities have been used by ranchers
and others desiring plaster of Paris or
land plaster, but the quantity removed
from the field is insignificant. Although
it is evident that the region contains
an enormous supply of gypsum, no great
quantity will be mined until better
transportation facilities are available. \
moderate estimate of the amount Of
gypsum contained in these deposits is
970l 100000 tons-2, 425, 100000 tons in
one bed which has an average thickness
of 10 feet and 1876 900 tons in am
other bed which is 80 feet thick.

Lodge Resolution Passed Nearly
Unanimously
JAPAN MUST KEEP OFF
Not Have Foothold at MagdaIna Bay
Three Hours Secret Debate in Senate
Our Sovereignty, 1t Is Asserted,
Must Not Be Menaced.

Washington, Aug. By vote Of 81
to A, the Senate yesterday afternoon
adopted the Lodge resolution warning
foreign nations not to establish naval
military bases ON the American CONT
nents. The negative votes were cast
by Senators Cummins. McCumber, Jercy
and Stone

tone down the "hands Off policy enun.

Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, au-
thor of the resolution, which was framed
to meet the situation created by attempts
Of d Japanese syndicate to obtain a
commercial base at Magdalena BAY.
Mexico, explained that the policy was
not new one and did not contemplate
an extension of the Monroe Doctrine. It
was framed, he said, in the interest
of peace to give an advance notice 'of
the principle enunciated.
1T rests on the law of nations" SEN
ator Lodge declared; "the law that ev-
cry nation has right to protect its
safety
At the present time, Senator Lodge
explained, the conditions were such that

ton.
Senator Root at this iuneture insisted
that the debate be carried on behind
closed doors and the Senate went into
executive session.
The Lodge resolution sets forth that
the United States must insist upon the
exclusion of any corporation controlled
by foreign government from the ac-
qusition of territory ON either of the
American continents.
Diplomats here declared to-day that
the adoption of the resolution would
cause widespread discussion in Europe.
The Massachusetts senator said that his
policy if adopted would not only prevent
war but would relieve the United States
of the possibility OF an embarrassing
situation in the future,
The talk here to-day was that the
was aimed at Germany. but
the real fact is that it was aimed at no
power in Europe or Asia particularly
and was intended as an excuse for hunt
ing trouble.

Platform PLEDGES.

1t will be some help to the Republican
party OF Vermont to go into the political
campaign with what is equivalent to the
moral support of the secretary of the
Vermont branch of the American Fed
leration of Labor. While he maintains
that he is not in full sympathy with cv-
erything the Republicans stand for, he
declares that certain planks of their
platform are of such nature as to
win the approval of the union members.
II is not that the party has not in
the past had the support of the work
ingman, for no organization could have
met with such success ms has been its
without securing to itself the aid of
that backbone of the nation. but in
these troubled times, when moorings arc
more or less apt to be adrift. such en-
dorsement helps all concerned ito fnd
their true bearings and fortify them
selves from being carried into strange
lands in the pursuit of strange gods.
This labor leader, has confidence in
the party, at least to certain extent,
that is evidently much more than half
way. To merit this and to make sure
that at some future time this support
will again be forthcoming, the party
has sacred duty to perform. 1t is none
other than The keeping of the platform
pledges. These declarations are some
thing more than idle vaporizings. They
are the promises made and given in the
seeking of favor. They ought not to
be quickly forgotten for expediency or
from any other motive. The people are
demanding higher standards in political
activities. And the Republican party
might just as well recognize the plain
truth that its path these days is a MIR
row one and slight tumbles may cause
heavy falls.-St. Adams Messenger.
