SURVEY INVESTIGATES
PENNSYLVANIA MAGNEsITE.

About the middle OF the last cen-|
fury most OF the EPSON salts used nj
the United States was made in Balti-|
more from msgnesite mined inI
Pennsylvania. The use Of Epsum|
salts has continued, but the mini
ing Of magnesite on a commercial
scale in Pennsylvania ceased prioT|
to 1860. The demand for magnet
site on the Atlantic seaboard red
suited last summer in an investiga
ton Of the possibility Of working
the Pennsylvania deposits profit
ably. and in order that the United
States Geological Survey might ID
informed concerning the recent de-
velopmeRts. the deposits were ex1
amined by r. W. Stone.
The deposits examined are near
the oNbow of Octoraro Creek, on
the Pennsylvania Maryland State
line. Some work has recently been
done on a deposit just cast OF Goat
Hill in the southwestern part OF
Chester County. about two miles
north of Rising Sun. Nd. The mag
nestle occurs in the State line SER
pentine, and all the old pits ~
Gently reopened are within a few
rods of the state boundary.
The work done. which consisted
Of re-eXcavating the pits. ouarricS
open cuts and a shaft that had be-
come filled with dirt showed that
the maGnesite occurs in a fine net
work or stockwork of small veins,
most of them less than an inch
thick. There seem to be two prin-
cipal systems of veins which crosn
at right angles; the veins OF the
north-south system stand nearly
vertical, but those of the east west
system dip southwark at a high an
gle. Two veins were uncovered, one
about fourteen inches wide. and the
other, which was found a few rods
farther east. in an open cut. about
twelve inches wide. A thorough
exploration. including the reopen
ing and drainage OF a shaft with
underground drifts. failed 90 disP
close any larger veins. but II is re-
ported that a body OF maEncsite
about thirty inches wide was found
in the shaft at the crossing az two
principal veins
The development work completed
last fall shows that the quantity
of magnesite available close 20 tne
surface is very small and that many
tons OF waste would have 20 be
handled TO produce a single ton OF
ore. and production on a CONNER
cial scale. was therefore not at
tempted. The magnesite Is OF the
white anonymous kind. like that
produced in California and Greece.
1t has the typical curved porcela-
neous fracture and is apparently
of high grade.

children and descendants of tn

children and descendants OF the
founders of the colony-the blue, the
white, the red, emblems Of hope, vir.
! tue and valor, to the memory OF those
! who first on this soil laid the founda-
ton of an empire.
, "Still another race and another ma
ton remained who equally demanded
a recognition in a flag designed to be
national. If to France we are lndebt-
ed for the foundation Of the colony
Spain merits an acknowledgment at
our hands, for by her was the infant
structure built up. Her mild and pa
ternal rule is yet spoken of by the
oldest inhabitants, whilst the great
body of our law stands this day a
monument Of her wisdom. To the
children of Spain we dedicate the COL
ors of red and yellow, which we have
woven into our plan. The star cannot
fail to remind you that Louisiana has
risen to take her place in the political
armament.
"Uniting then, our three nationali-
ties into one, we present a flag which
carries with it a symbol dear to ev-
erv American, whether it be at the
last hour of dissolution or the dawn
Of a new birth-it is the flag Of the
Union.
"What the future fortunes Of
this flag may be is Of course known
only to Him who holds in His hands
the destinies of nations. Should the
violence of enemies force US to the
battlefield, may it be found, as Of
old, in the foremost ranks Of the con-
fict. But our mission is that OF
peace and brotherhood. So permit me
as consign to the convention this
new emblem of our nationality, to
speak aloud the wish dearest to my
heart, that it now and forever may
wave over a peaceful, a happy, a
united and independent Louisiana"

Convention Assembled, do Ordain and
Establish, That the flag Of the State
of Louisiana shall consist and be COM
posed of thirteen horizontal stripes,
Of the colors hereinafter described,
and to be disposed in the following or
der, commencing from the upper line
or edge of flag, to-wit: The first
stripe blue; second, white; third, red
fourth, white; fifth, blue; sixth, white;
seventh, red; eighth, white; ninth,
blue: tenth, white; eleventh, red;
twelfth, white; thirteenth, or bottom
stripe, blue.
We Do Further Ordain and Estab-
lish, That there shall be, in the upper
or chief corner Of the flag square
field, the color whereof shall be red,
the sides thereof equal to the width
of seven stripes, and that in the CEN
ter of the field there shall be star
of due and proportionate size, hav~
ing FIVE points or rays, and that the
color Of said star shall be pale yellow.
We Do Further Ordain and Estab-
lish, That the said flag and no other
shall he the national flag of the State
Of Louisiana.
Urging the passage Of his ordinance
(which was carried unanimously, Mr..
Elgee spoke as follows:
"The committee being satiied that
the device of the pelican was not in
consonance with the taste or wishes
of the people, their attention was then
directed to ascertain if they could not
weave into a flag the symbols and
colors that were familiar to the people
and endeared by a thousand recollec-
tions. The gorgeous ensign Of the
once great republic lay at our feet,
its stripes were defaced; the stars had
faded; and the glorious constellation
had disappeared which had borne our
name from the ice-ribbed shores of
the great northern sea, to the very
verge Of the southern pole. The COM
mittee said let US retain these stripes,
for however discord, dissension and
frenzied hate, may have torn the
asunder, the memory Of the
old thirteen still lives-their strug-
giles, their trials, and the crowning
achievement Of their labors shall lstill
live, while civilization lasts, in the |
Of the philosopher, the states
nan, the philanthropist and Christian;
and can only be forgotten when we
'ease to turn with affectionate rever-
,nce to the calm and wise councils Of
lin, whom would still faiin believe
s first in the hearts Of his country
men,
"We dedicate, therefore, the thir-
cen stripes upon our flag, to the
memory of those whose unconquerable
owe of freedom has taught US this
lay, how peacefully to vindicate our
lights and protect our liberties.
"The committee, too, could not for
ct that another race, bold, warlike
nd adventurous, had planted the first
olony of white men on the shores Of
ouisiana; the name Of our state, that
+ our city, nay even the morning roll
all Of the convention, as it Summon
d US to our duties, bade US remem-
er that some tribute was due to the
