Magnesite is a mineral which Is
over SO per cent carbon diOxide, the
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-
IONA and western Texas. A number
of these deposits, especially in Cali
fornia, are of considerable size and
yield m%agnesite 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 of the United States
geological survey, entitled "Magne-
site Deposits of California; by
Frank l.. Hess, was based on field ex-
aminations of the California deposits
made in 1905 and during the winter
of 1861. This bulletin is still
available, but since it's publication
new deposits have been opened, con-
sumption has increased, and inquiries
constantly being received at the sur
vey for information relating to the
occurrence and utilization of this
material have led to the publication
of Bulletin 54O-S, entitled Late De-
yelopments of Magnesite in Califor-
mia and Nevada" by Hoyt S. Gale.
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 product On
the market as soon as natural con-
ditions will allow. At present By
far the largest part of the magnesite
used in the United States is imported
and is consumed in the eastern
states, the importations being abort
20 times the dometic production and

public and have called attention to
the penalties provided by the law,
nor because | expect to attempt to
evade the statute, but that all may
understand their duty and liability.
Let me emphasize that neglect or re-
fusal to file a return will be penaliz-
ed. In other words, the law puts
the responsibility up to the individual
and the government will hold the in
dividual to account. While no return
will be required from a person with
a net income of less than $4,000 for
the year, still that person should be
sure of his rights of exemption and
deduction in determining what is net
income. In brief, it is better to seek
advice from this office than to run
the risk of violating the law.
Any individual will be instructed
as to his or her rights and should
seek instruction either in person or
by letter. 1t is hoped that a thor
ough canvass of this district after
the first of March will fail to dis
close any who will not have COM
nlied with the requirements of the
law.

GEORGE WINGFIELD BELIEVES
new CURRENCY Law SUCCESS

when hard pressed. The so-called
banks are tied together and forced
to aid one another under the direc-
tions and regulations of the federal
reserve board, should be of immense
advantage. 1t is to be hoped that
this feature will develop the great
strength of a central bank, such as
was proposed at one time, and still
prevent the disadvantages and dan
gers that would result from such an
enormous power concentrating in one
institution and enc locality.
lone of the seemingly bad features
of the law is that unless closely
watched some of the banks will at
tempt to pyramid credits. For in
stance, a bank will discount some Of
it's paper with a regional bank and
with the proceeds make more loans
and then discount these, and so on.
The result of this would be that, in
times of stress, the banks would have
discounted all available paper and
would have no leeway to obtain more
currency to protect themselves. How
ever, this danger will b eliminated
undoubtedly through the close at
tention of the managers OF the re-
gional banks, who will be watching
for just such attmpts.
The system of management and
supervision of the regional and mem
ber banks seems to be unassailable.
This law is the result of ~investiga-
tions started several years ago under
the past republican administration,
and it can be seen that the utmost
care has been exercised in trying to
cover every point and to protect as
many defects from developing as is
possible.
Since the passage of the act it has
Deen my intention TO urge the Nixon
National bank and the First National
bank of Winnemucca to join the Or
%ganization, and very probably do the
same with the Carson Valley bank
and John S. Cook & Co., bankers, of
Goldfield.
"To summarizes: l believe that
the law as a whole is a good one and
that bankers should do everything
possible to aid in working it out so
as to bring the greatest advantages
to themselves and to the nation"
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1914-01-24

In a recent issue the Reno Gazette
said:
After a close examination of the
new banking and currency law of the
United States, George Wingfield,
president of he Nixon National bank
of Reno, the First National at Winnie
mucca and banks at Carson City and
Goldfield, said today that he believed
the law to be a good one. With other
leading bankers of the United States,
he considers that it will be of large
benefit to the nation.
I'm the form that the new cur
rency bill was first submitted to the
house of representatives at Washing
ton," said Mr.. Wingfield, cit was
quite Objectionable in many of it's
features. In fact, so Objectionable
hat the bankers of the country felt
it incumbent upon themselves, for
ths protection not only of their bust
ness, but of the country's welfare,
to see that it was either defeated
in that form or else materially al
tered.
Before the bill was finally passed,
most of the Objectionable features
were either withdrawn or changed,
so hat it nov appears to he the
consensus of opinion among the
bankers of the country that the law
is a good one and one that will be
OF large benefit to the nation. One
of the big bankers in the city of New
York expressed it as his opinion that
the law was eighty per cent good as
it stood a few days before final pas
sage, and it was made even better
before final action was taken.
From the study that 1 have made
of it up to the present time, it would
seem that its greatest effects will
he tie elimination of the large con-
centration OF the banking funds in
the city Of New York, a very great
extension Of credits and the pre-
~ventiOr of checks and drafts trailing
through an endless chain of banks
batore reaching the ones upon which
they are drawn, which practice has
been INDUCED in in the past in order
to avoid collection charges.
But, more than this, the provi-
sion of the law for red%iscounting the
paper of member banks makes it un-
necessary for them to solicit the aid

Joseph j. Scott, collector of in
ternal revenue for the first district
of California, which includes the
state of Nevada. is attempting to
familiarize persons liable to the in
come tax with it's provisions so that
they will not be penalized for nom
conformity with the law The fol-
lowing instructions have just been
issued by Collector Scott:
To All Concerned:-I desire to
call the attention of every person
liable to the federal income tax to
the necessity of making a sworn re-
turn of his or her income to the col
lector of internal revenue on or be-
fore the first day of March.
This is a liability that attaches to
every person, man or woman, citizen
of the United States or alien resi-
dent of the country, with a net an
nual income of $4,000 or more; and,
what is more, it is a liability that at
taches under severe penalties for re-
fusal to comply with the law by MAX
ing such report. The form for re-
turn are now available for dis
tribution and will be sent to
all who apply for them. They will
also be placed in the hands of the
banks from which they can be OBJ
tanned by individuals.
It will not do for a person with a
taxable income to wait until an in
vitation is extended by this office be-
fore taking steps to obey the law by
obtaining a blank form and prepar-
ing the required report. While
everything possible will be done by
nv deputies and myself to COM
municate directly with those sub
ject to the tax during the next few
weeks, those enjoying sufficient in
come to be taxable are expected TO
cooperate and file returns without
demand being made on them to do
so.
Those persons with taxable in
comes who neglect this RESPONSE
bility will subject themselves to the
penalties of the law, and it Will not
he in order for them subsequently
to plead that they were not asked to
file returns. My deputies will care
fully canvass the territory under my
Jurisdiction, comprising all that part
of California north of Kern county
/, and the entire state of Nevada. They
will keep up the canvass even after
the first of March and they will have
ample authority to get the informa-
ton they seek. Those taxable per-
sons located after hat date will have
failed to obey the law and Will be
liable to its penalties.
Let me mention these penalties Tor
the information of the public. me
penalty for failure to file the return
of income within the time speclned
nv law is from $40 to $1,000. In
the case of refusal or neglect to rem
der the return within the required
time, so per cent will be added TO
the amount of the tax assessed. In
the case of a false or fraudulent re-
turn. 100 per ZEN will be added to
the tax and any person found guilty
