In this old Silk Road city in western China, a state security campaign involving the detention of vast numbers of people has moved to its next stage: demolishing their neighborhoods and purging their culture.
The close ratio of ferric oxide to titanic oxide, viz., 1:3·03, indicates that the mineral is really ferric metatitanate, Fe₂O₃.3TiO₂ or Fe₂Ti₃O₉. Moreover, the crystallographic determinations strengthen the view that this titanate of iron cannot be assigned to any known species, but is entirely new. I propose to name it Arizonite... There appears to be no authentic prior record of the occurrence in nature of a simple ferric metatitanate... Upon readjustment of the analytical data as cited by Rammelsberg, it appears that his mineral consists essentially of 60 per cent ferrous titanate (FeO.TiO₂), ilmenite, and 40 per cent ferric titanate (Fe₂O₃.3TiO₂), arizonite.
He never had been young. He had done more than man's work, when he was a boy. He had always lain under a man's responsibilities. He had lived his life out at thirty-nine. He had attained, in his short life, a most extensive influentialness.
