CaIcasieu sulphur a nd Mining Company.
The first annual statement of the Calca-
sieu Sulphur and Mining Company has Just
been published. 1t is addressed to the
stockholders, but possesses an interest of
nature so general that we copy portion Of
the report:
The board of directors are now making
arrangements, through competent agents i'll
Europe to effect contracts for the purchase
of the necessary materials, tools and ma
chinerv, and to procure skilled labor, and
it is proposed that the great shaft shall be
in progress at the earliest possible moment,
and the work prosecuted with the utmost
energy and dispatch.
In the meantime Mr.. James Mum is now
at work upon the grounds. having a saw
mill in active operation, preparing lumber
for building derricks engine houses, dwell
ings for the wOrkmen, warehouses and
sheds, and making roads, so that no delay
will occur in receiving, transporting and
sinking the shaft.
On the twenty-fourth day of January,
1871. the board of directors purchased by
fee-simple title, for account of the company,
several tracts of land, comprising about SIX
thousand acres, surrounding and contiguous
to the lands originally leased to the com
pany for ninety years, and at price
but little in advance of the first cost from
the State. BY this purchase, much larger
area of lands, supposed to contain deposits
of sulphur, has been acquired by the com
pany; additional supplies Of timber have
been secured, and conflicting claims to some
of the lands, though hardly serious, have
been settled and quoted.
The financial administration of the com
pany from the thirty-tirst of March, 1870, to
the first May, 1871, is exhibited in the an
nexed statement. There has been paid into
the treasury, during that period, the sum of
$50, $50, and there has been disbursed the
sum of SCI. 2l2 54 leaving a cash balance
to the credit of the company, at the Bank
of America, of $29, 437 46. In the disburse-
ments are comprised the cash payment of
$4,000 made TO the proprietOrs of the lands
leased for ninety-nine years; the purchase
of about 5000 acres of additional lands, at
the price of $l2, 100; steam engine, saw
MILL tools, machinery, buildings, wagons,
horses, oxen and furniture, embracing an
outlay of $44,063 "a; all on hand and
representing fully the amount paid out; so
that in reality the company, from its or
ganization to the first May, 1871, has ex-
pended in actual operations at the mines,
only the sum of $l5,73l %, which amount
also includes attorneys fees, publication of
the charter, notarial acts, stationery, ad-
vertising, salaries, wages and provisions.

BURGLARS IN A NEWSPAPER OFFICE
A fair idea may be formed of the exces-
sively hard times existing in certain class
of the poor floating population of New Or
leans, from the singular fact that some fell
low without conscience or scruples burglar
lied our Office early Sunday morning after
all employees, except the pressmen, had
departed. Entering the editorial rooms he
tried Jimmy on one of the inner doors, but
failed to effect an entrance, probably fear
ing he would make too much noise. He
then viewed the grounds, but must have
grown disguised at the poor pickings, for
he visited the job office, and then the COM
position room. The light of one gas burner
disclosed an unrelenting poverty, as the
single object worthy of stealing was an I'M
reliable marine clock. This he captured,
perhaps remembering that time is money.
1t is hoped the hour and minute hands will
revolve until the dial indicates that his
final hour has come; then the miserable
scraps of conscience in his wicked breast
will smite him until eternity.
Stealing the clock, he departed stealthlly,
doubtless feeling very sheepish over his
poor success in robbing a printing office
AS the clock was about the only article in
the office to tempt sneak, we do not fear
another call from the fraternity.
Last Friday cur porter, Mr. Bates, which
his name is Isaac, left his worst coat hang
ing up in one of the editorial rooms while
he was attending to his arduous literary
duties in sweeping the floors, thinking of
no harm. Laying down his broom, he was
mortified on missing his valuable property,
which may have been disposed of for fiji
teen cent drink. That coat will never save
the thief from the heat of summer or the
blasts of winter Total depravity is found
at last
