MINERAL WHICH is HALF GAS.
New Magnesite Deposits Described by
U. S. Geological Survey.

Magnesite is a mineral which Is
gas which is used for charging soda
water, ginger ale and similar bever-
ages. BY far the greater part Of the
magnesite occurring in the United
States is found in California, accord
ing to the United States Geological
Survey, while reports have also been
received of deposits in Nevada, Ari-
zona, and Western Texas. A number
Of these deposits, especially in Cali
fornia, are Of considerable size and
yield magnesite Of excellent quality,
which is probably excelled by few,
if any, Of the foreign deposits, and
which is superior in purity to much
Of that mined abroad.
Bulletin 355 the United States
Geological Survey, entitled "Magne-
site Deposits of California" was
based on field examinations Of the
California deposits made in 1905 and
during the winter of 1906-7. This
it's publication new deposits have
been opened consumption has in
creased, and inquiries constantly be-
ing received at he survey for infor-
nation relating to the occurrence and
utilization Of this material have led
to the publication of Bulletin 540-S,
entitled Late Developments Of Mag
nestle in California and Nevada"
Conditions governing the produc-
ton and consumption OF domestic
magnesite have not changed in any
marked degree in recent years. The
presence of many good deposits Of
this material in California must con-
tinue to furnish the impetus which
will tend to put our own production
on the market as soon as natural
conditions will allow. At present by
far the largest part Of the magnesite
used in the United States is import
ed and is consumed in the Eastern
States, the importations being about
20 times the domestic production and
ranging from 100000 to 10000
tons year.
Considerable interest in the do
mestic production of magnesite has
| been aroused of late in anticipation
of the possible advantage that may
accrue with the opening Of the Pan
ANA Canal, in the hope that this
new route may enable California pro-
ducers to reach the eastern ports at
sufficiently low freight rates as to al
low them to place their product on
the Eastern market.
Bulletins 355 and 540-S are be-
lieved to describe all the CONNER
cial important magnesite deposits in
the West. Copies of these reports
may be obtained free on application
to the Director Of the Survey at

Young Woman Takes Life.

Anderson, Sept. 3.-Miss Eula
Smith, 16-year-old daughter Of the
late Robert Smith, substantial far
mer of Anderson county, committed
suicide at her home, four miles west
Of the city late to-day. She secured
shotgun and went into the woods
some distance behind the house. She
tied a cord around the trigger and
then passed 1t around the hammer of
the gun. The load entered her left
side above the heart. Her body was
discovered by an older sister, one
hour after the fatal shot had been
fired. A note pinned to the body
stated that the woman had tired Of
life, that she had accomplished
nothing and that she had decided to
end all. Friends state that Miss
Smith grieved over the death of her
father and that she protested against
being sent off to college. These are
the reasons assigned for her act.

PRODUCTIONS OF GEMS

public today by the geological survey.
The output of sapphire In Montana for
1913 IL the largest ever reported. its
value being estimated at 41a8.e36 or
over $4,000 more than In 1919. The
sapphire consisted Of both blue and
various colored gems and culls for
mechanical purposes.
One diamond washing plant was in
operation in Arkansas for about three
months and several hundred dia-
mOnds were recovered. Another
plant is rapidly nearing completion.
In the Nevada opal field during 1918
many new claims were located. The
development of these. along with the
older fields. resulted in . fair sized
output OF opals.
AS an Indication that there is a
great opportunity for the production
OF gems in America, the survey calls
attention to the fact that imports Of
gems last year were valSed at $751;

THOsE AAfENDMENrs.

When the voter goes to the polls
tomorrow he viii be given separate
ballot upon which to vote for or
against two proposed amendments to
the Kansas constitution.
If a voter has any doubt in his
mind he should vote against both of
these amendments.
It is q pretty good general endorse
ment Of the constitution Of the state
Of Kansas when a legislature can find
only two amendments to propose. As
many as three may be offered at one
time.
The first amendment has been well
named the fake recall proposition. It
proposes to put percentages in the
constitution 10. Is and Is. It reminds
one Of 1O-2O-so cheap performances.
And this proposed recall proposition is
a cheap performance. II you are
against the recall you should vote
against the amendment on general
principles. II you favor the recall you
should vote against it as an absurd
method Of recall.
The other amendment. a radical
one. makes a fundamental and most
important change.
The constitution now provides for
"a uniform and equal rate Of assess
ment and taxation" This amend
ment proposes to overturn uniformity
and equality and put the whole i'm
portant taxation problem on the ba-
sis Of what Is termed IAN equitable
SYSTEM" reasonable exemption %
classification as far as their differ
ences justify" and taxation upon in
tangible property, privilege. occupa-
lions, franchises and incomes.
1t grants powers to legislature and
commissions almost unlimited. powers
which are susceptible of great injustice
and abuse.
Our whole method Of taxation is up
set and remodeled. for what the friends
OF the amendment assert in the main
is. to bring out concealed properties
that now escape taxation. This con-
bonds. notes and other concealed Sc
curities.
There ought to be some method of
taxing notes. bonds and other securi-
ties than by dragging in questionable
and dangerous matters connected with
the taxation OF property. which should
be uniform and equal as now provided
by the constitution other than by the
proposed new amendment. subject to
the varied interpretations Of "equit-
able justification" and reason
able" and which would permit tax
making bodies to impose one tax upon
a roo1 A~to<> mon ouo<har <o~ ,,nnr a
doctor. another upon a farmer. and
SO on indefinitely.
The voter will be safe in voting
against both Of these amendments.
A good way to get inequitable and
unjust taxation is to do away with
equality and uniformity before the law
and that is what the amendment
plainly proposes.
