Calcasieu Sulphur Mine.

The mineral %ealth of Lou
isiana has never until recently
been understood. One of the
most productive sources of rev.
enue will be the Calcasieu sui
phnr mines, where operations
have been progressing for some
months with the most favorable
results. a telegram was re-
ceived, a day or two since from
Lake Charles, dated the ni.lth
instant, to this purport: "Depth
of we'll 433 feet. We struck
sulphur at the depth of 428
feet. Specimens good"
1t is calculated that there is
least seven million dollars
worth of sulphur within the
space where the two wells have
been sunk. The capital stock
OF the company is only seven
hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars. 1t will cost only about
seventy-ive thousand dollars
TO bring this value of sulphur
to the surface.
The mines are excellently To-
Gated for transportation, being
III the one direction only five
and a half miles from the Cal
casfeu river, and in another
only four and a half miles from
the same river, where there is
about twenty feet depth of wa
ter. A railroad may be con-
stFncted from the mines to the
river. The Western track of
the New Orleans, Mobile and
Chattanooga railroad will be
laid about thee-fourths Of a
mile from the mines.
The stock in these mines viii
possess an intrinsic value, and
immense dividerds may rea-
sOnably be expected. But that
compared with the Importance
of this new development of
wealth in Louisiana, /
is of little importance.-[M. o,
