POSSIBLE FORTUNES IN MAGNESIA
Col. David Taylor is on the point of becoming an octopus. He has a bed of magnesium on his place west of town that may prove a fortune. Several years ago he had a lot of sand pits on his place. The place where the and was sifted out covers the area of a block or more. In this place, at the time the sand was being taken out, a fine white substance was discovered. It was not investigated to any great extent, as it was not thought to be of any value. At that time it was called whiting. Recently Colonel Taylor, while in California, was talking with an expert in such matters, and the remark was made that there was no whiting mined in the United States. "Why," said Colonel Taylor, "I know where there is lots of the stuff." When he came back he got out some specimens, which were examined by experts and pronounced silica, which is a form of magnesia. The bed is eight feet thick. Colonel Taylor owns a large tract of land where the bed has been discovered. Clark Martin, W. C. Hart, J. C. Davis, W. H. Harkness and several others own land in the neighborhood. The material is probably 80 per cent pure. The process of purifying the mineral is not expensive so, with the inevitable IF something doesn't go wrong, there is a fortune in the discovery for those who own the land. It is not known how far the bed extends but it is supposed to include territory as far west as Woodland Park.

COL. DAVID TAYLOR
David Taylor, who died at his home yesterday, was born in Franklin County, Ohio, March 20, 1837. He was graduated from Hanover College in 1857.
In September, 1858, he was married to Hannah Ford Holliday, at Columbus, Ohio, and they were the parents of eight children, six of whom are living.
The Taylors came to Emporia in 1882. Mrs. Taylor died in 1901. In 1912, Mr. Taylor married Miss Ozotta Marshall of Denver, Colo., who survives him. In his residence of more than thirty-seven years in Emporia, Col. Taylor always has shown the broadest interest in the building up of Emporia, and in the advancement of its educational interests. He was a member of the I.O.O.F. and of the Order of Red Men, and has taken an active part in the affairs of the G.A.R. He has attended nearly all of the national encampments and one of the greatest disappointments of his life was that his physical inability prevented his attending the last reunion held in his old home in Columbus, Ohio.
David Taylor was commissioned a first lieutenant in Company C, First Regiment, O.V.I., April 15, 1861, and captain of Company B, 113th Regiment, O.V.I., August 12, 1862. He served in the Army of the Cumberland soon after the war. On the organization of the Army of Georgia, on December 15, 1868, in Chicago, Ill., Gen. H. W. Slocum was elected president of the society, and David Taylor, recording secretary.
In 1863, Mr. Taylor organized the negro slaves as contraband of the war, and pressed them into service in building the fort at Franklin, Tenn., and gave each of the contrabands papers freeing them from slavery, for which Gen. W. S. Rosecrans highly commended him.
Early in February, 1863, Captain Taylor arrived at Franklin, Tenn., after a rough campaign through Kentucky's mud, snow and rain, and immediately, with his comrades, was placed on steamboats, when down the Ohio River, and up the Cumberland River, retaking the forts from Donaldson to Nashville, then south to Franklin, a tired but victorious army. At once, Gen. C. C. Gilbert put the tired soldiers to work clearing the ground and building a fort. In this work David Taylor pressed all the slaves into the work of building.
On the evening of February 22, 1863, David Taylor was severely injured, causing paralysis of his left side. When it became apparent that his recovery was extremely doubtful, Gen. W. S. Rosecrans caused a detail of the chaplain of the 78th Illinois and another soldier to accompany him to Columbus, Ohio, where he was treated by Doctor Smith, the Surgeon General of Ohio, buy he never fully recovered from his injury. General Rosecrans highly complimented David Taylor for his care of the soldiers who were benefited by the rest they received while the slaves built the fort, and after the war visited him at his home.
