companied by his wife and son, ar
rived from Moscow last Monday.
Tuesday they went to Murray where
they will probably remain for several
days. The visit of Professor Livings-
ton is in pursuance of the plan of the
government, acting through the Unit
ed States geological survey, to devote
much time to the discovery of certain
minerals needed in carrying on the
war. Ten million dollars has been ap-
propriated for research work and for
duction of the minerals required. Some
of these are tungsten, molybdenite,
tin, quicksilver, manganese, chromi-
um, platinum and mica. The short

demand, has made It necessary that

cooperating with the geological sur

Professor Livingston will devote most
OF the summer to visiting various
parts of the state where there Is
probability that any Of these minerals

Tungsten on North Side.
Last year Professor Goodrich, met
alurgist of the Idaho school of mines,
devoted considerable time to expert
mental work at the Golden Chest,
short distance above Murray, in an
effort to work out a successful pro-
cess to recover the scheelite or tung-
sten ore which was being lost in the
tailings from the Golden Chest mill.
1t Is understood that he was quite
successful in his work, but for some
reason unknown the mine continues
inactive. 1t is believed that there is
sten in connection with the gold bear
ing quartz Of the Golden Chest, and

8 the opinion of men familiar with
the Golden Chest that capable man

requirements of the government. The

patented claims with a stamp mill

as gold. It Is owned by Vivian Green

Other Tungsten Properties.
The North Side is perhaps the most
promising field in the west for the de-
Ivelopment Of tungsten deposits. Sew
Ieral other properties in the vicinity Of
Murray are known to contain more
or less scheelite, and 1t is possible
that systematic and intelligent devel-
opment might disclose the mineral in
commercial quantities.

WASHINGTON, July 12- Turkish
regulars were responsible for the out
RACES against American property at
Tabriz, according to information fur
nished the state department by the
Spanish government.
This tends to aggravate the situa-
ton between the United States and
Turkey and If corroborated by the
response expected from the latter ma
ton, it probably will prove a casus
belli.
Sweden, through whom inquiries
about Tabriz also are being made, re-
ported today her inquiries had been
delayed, but that apparently the Turk
government was not informed of the
actual situation.
At the Swedish request. the Turk
fsh foreign minister had telegraphed
to Tabriz, but had not received re-
ply. The Swedish minister expressed
the belief. therefore, that Turkey is
not now in position to give a de-
finite answer to the American demand
for an explanation
The Swedish inquiries according to
the American minister at Stockholm
today, did not reach Constantinople
for some unaccountable reason until
July 5, though made several weeks
ago.

WASHINGTON. July 12.-War pro-
fiteers will bear the heaviest taxes
under provision of the new war tax
bill to raise $8,oO0,t 10000; taxes on
luxuries used by the people will be
a secondary consideration. Such is the
intention Of the house ways and means
committee which is drafting the mea-
sure.
The schedule for taxes on luxuries,
submitted by the treasury department
is conceded to be an excellent basis
for that kind Of levies when they be.
come necessary in the opinion of con
gressional leaders who maintain that
time has not arrived.
A majority of the house committee
has thrown the schedule into the dis
card, mainly because it has been forced
home upon them that the people would
be asked to pay heavy taxes on many
articles, the manufacturers of which
are growing rich on profits. These
profiteers it was declared must dis
gorge and return to the public some
share of the huge sums they are max
ing
When the war profits tax schedul ,s
have been drawn, careful estimates
will be made by treasury experts work
ing with the house and senate com
mittees to determine how much they
will yield. The remainder of the nee
essary So 600, 100000 will come from
luxuries. The taxes will be based on
the departments suggestions, greatly
modified.
For instance, the proposal to tax
gasoline ten cents a gallon IL adopt
ed at all is likely to be modified so as
to require users OF pleasure cars 70
pay the tax, while commercial users
escape
Congress Is hearing from the coun'
try on the proposed taxes, Hundreds
of protests are pouring In, direcrcd
against the tax on cloth
ing
(which shows" said committee
member today, that these taxes
which may be accepted in Fran - ana
would be exceedingly unpopu-
lar here, because they would be con-
sidered unnecessary"
The treasury suggestions, mem
bers pointed out, appear to have been
lifted bodily from French and English
laws.

NEW YORK, July 12.-Persistent
French attacks between the Aisne
and the Marne strongly suggests that
General Foch believes Won linden
burg's next offensive If it material
ICES at all, will be directed against
Paris.
The Aisne-Marne front is the best
jumping off place for an advance on
Paris. This is especially true of the
northern sector. 1t is here, east Of
the Villers-Cotterets forest that Cen
eral Foch has lately concentrated his
efforts to improve his local positions.
Today's official French report an
nounced still another victory in this
district which may well be regarded
as the outer defenses of Paris
The Villers-Cotterets forest is the
most valuable defensive area In Cen
eral Foch's possession, between the
Aisne and the Marne. The Germans
have advanced to the eastern fringe
of the forest but are now being shoV-
ed back at important local points
These successful assaults by General
Foch are adding to the defensive Sc
curity of the French positions, but
they also gravely interfere with such
preparations as Won Hindenburg may
be making for a drive in that area.
The yillers-Cotterets forest splen-
didly protects the principal railway
running from the Aisne-Marne front
to Paris. There is an admirable path
for a quick dash toward Paris some
twelve miles wide between this rail
way and the Ourcq and Marne rivers,
