1t transpires that the department of
justice declined to furnish Judge Smith
with copy of the charges against him
and gave him only the subjects touched
upon therein. The department said the
charges were confidential. They could
not be divulged even to the party whose
character had been blackened by the
irresponsible mouthings of covetous par
tisans. 1t is well known that Judge
Smith ID man of high moral character
"a better man than the average among
those who seek to villify him. There is
very little manhood In an admInistra-
tlon which befouls the name of a citizen
of the republic and refuses him the op-
portunity to vindicate himself.

Preparations are being made for a
convention in north Dakota which will
appoint committee to go to Washing
ton and labor for the division of the ter.
ritoiy. The sentiment of the north is
favorable to division and the object of
the proposed convention is to give ex-

The Lake Charles echo. [volume] (Lake Charles, Parish of Calcasieu, La.) 1876-1898, 1885-12-05

The action Of President Cleveland
IN mot attending the funeral Of Mr..
Hendricks, Is severely criticised BY The
States, who, we think, is making a
miatake, not so much in saying this
now, bnt in not saying enough before
the event came off. Mr., Cleveland
WIS certainly controlled in his action
in this matter by what seemed to him
TO be the wishes of the people. Eyi-
IDENTIFY there was a great deal more
said through the press to discourage
the idea Of his going than otherwise.
If the State voices the sentiments of
the Democratic press and party of this
country, then sad indeed is the Presi-
dents lot, to have TINS fallen into the
hands of people who will thus yilify
and ahnse him for actions that arc, to
say the most Of It, but matters of opin-
ion. As far as we are individually
concerned, we wonid have preferred
his going, but as he was on the
ground and felt the pressure and knew
the bearings, we accorded to him the
privilege of deciding that question,
and fail to see where any good can
arise from harsh criticisms.

these viii vet take part in the EXPOSE
ton. Florida is raising a fund to
secure a position here, and Pennsyl-
wanna has applied for space. All the
Territories, including Alaska and
Utah, will be represented. There will
be displays Of forty States and Terri
tories, filling over twelve acres of
space with goods of all kinds, frnits,
grains, woods, ores, and everything
that the bountiful soil of the United
States produces. The railroads are
Joining heartily in these exhibits.
The display of North Carolina min
erals is made by the Richmond and
DanEille Railroad; that OF Maryland,
by the Baltimore and Ohio, while the
Illinois Central is a participant with
the State of Illinois and the Southern
Pacific with California in their re-
spective displays.
The other countries of South and
Central America will be better repre-
sentnd than last year, as earlier notice
was given them of the Exposition.
The fact that the Mexican national
exhibit will not be seen this year, is
cause for general regret. The Next
can government feels it as much as
We do, has expressed the profoundest
interest in the purpose of the EXPOSE
tion, and sent its minister, Senior 10
nero, here, to be present at the open
ing; but its embarrassed finances will
not allow its representation.
President Diaz was disposed to pay
the expenses of the exhibit ont of his
own pocket, but he feared lest his
motives might be misunderstood and
his action misrepresented by the oP-
position. There will be no National
Mexican exhibit, although a large
number of Mexican manufacturers and
commercial houses will be represented
here.
The Mexican government, more
over, has donated to the Exposition
the magnificent buildings erected by
it last wear, including its arabesqne
octagonal mineral tower, one of the
most beautiful and graceful arehiteo-
tural conceptions of this country.
Brazil which had only coffee ex-
hibit last year, will take the place of
Mexico with a grand national display.
Of the Central American States,
Honduras and Guatemala are already
here and Salvador will soon be. San
Domingo unrepresented last year, has
its exhibit already in position. In
South America, besides Brazil, there
already are, or soon will be, displays
by Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia, Chill,
Columbia and the Argentine Repub-
lie, leaving Ecuador the only large
State uDrepresented, on account of
the revolution there.

MAJOR E. A. BuRKE's numerous
friends, as token of appreciation of
his efforts for the success of the
Worlds Exposition, have presented
him with the American Encyclopedia,
set in bookcase of carved ebony.
It's well. Never has it been our for
tune to witness the accomplishment of
SO grand an object in so short a time
and with means SO limited as WAS
aimed stsnd successfully accomplished
in the treat Worlds Fair, at New
Orleans. As an exhibit of the resour-
ces, of not only the States, but of the
world, it never had sn eqnai; in its
collection of machinery it stands pre-
eminent As an educator it knows no
rival and as a contributor to these
columns once said, the wonder OF its
conception is only surpassed by the
more wonderful fact of its accomplish
ment.

Inc total Oepbh OF the well was
1880 feet. 1t will be noticed that
large beds of gypsum were passed
through, which itself is an article
valuable in commerce and the arts.
Traces of petroleum and tar were
found. Several other wells were sunk.
The sulphur was exhibited in COM
pact and amorphous Masses of a pale
yellow color, with crystals of beau
fnl yellow color. The percentage Of
sulphur was very large, averaging SO
per cent. and ranging from Ga to 90
per cent. The Calcasieu Sulphur Co.
purchased expensive mining machin-
cry, which was manufactured in
Europe, and cost, laid down, about
100000. This plant came into pos
session of the Louisiana Sulphur Com
pany when the former company were
compelled to abandon the work for
lack of means Since that time moth
ing has been done until recently, the
capital necessary to develop the mine
not being available. Recently, how
ever, some Northern men of means,
particularly Mr.. Huntington, of the
Southern Pacific, became interested
in the enterprise. As a result the
Louisiana Sulphur Mining Company
have contracted with Capt. John a.
Grant, the well known railroad en-
gineer, formerly Chief Engineer of
the Mississippi Valley Railroad, to
make q series of test borings, with
the view of sinking later working
shaft and proceeding with the ex-
ploration and development of the
mine. The objects of these prelimin-
airy borings, which will be wells of
small diameter, are to ascertain the
precise location, direction and area of
the sulphur beds and determine &C
enrately the nature of the strata to be
penetrated in sinking the main well
or working shaft. Capt. Grant has
sublet the contract for the behring's to
the American Well Boring Company,
of which Mr.. Chapman is President,
who expects to begin the undertak-
ing in few days. Fl
1t is thought that about twelve
months viii be required to execute all
the works preliminary to the extrac-
ton of the sulphur, and that the
amount to be expended will be some
thing like 100000. However, the
profits are estimated at a large per-
eentage on the investment. The cost
of taking ont the sulphur is placed at
about $40 q ton, and its estimated
Yalue at SIS.
Sicily produces the greater part of
the sulphur found in the market.
There are about 900 mines on the
island. The sulphur strata are found
at depth of from los to $50 feet,
and are reached by galleries.
The mines are worked in a rude
fashion, and yet are profitable. The
mineral deposit contains only about
20 per cent. of sulphur, and owing TO
scarcity of fuel part of, the sulphnr
itself is used in melting the remainder
in the process of publication. With
these and other drawbacks the pro
prieters of Sieilian mines are said to
realize fortunes. The Sieilian sulphur
sells ut the point of embarkation for
as much as Ito francs ton, and is
not then pure, and has to go through
another operation before being mer-
charitable.

The Louisiana Sulphur Mining Com
pany, organized in 1879, and duly In
corporated under the State laws, pur-
chased the property belonging to the
Galcasieu Sulphur aud Mining Com
pany, and acquired the mine itself and
5000 acres of land. Mr.. Duncan f.
Kenner is the President, and Mr.. nj.
a. Tarleton the Secretary of'the Com
pany, in which are such well known
citizens as Messrs. Joseph II. 0glesby,
Lonis Bush, Fazende q Seixas, Fl. r.
Gogreve, Samuel Simpson, II. c. War
moth and others.
The old company expended a con-
siderable sum of money in measures
looking to the development of the
sulphur mine, which is situated on
the line of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road, about twelve miles from Lake
Charles, in Caleasieu parish. Explor-
ing wells, or borings, were made orr
ginally, with the view OF discovering
the stratum of petroleum indicated by
the surface peculiarities. At depth
of $50 feet a stream of sulphuriOus
water was struck, and at 443 feet the
shaft entered stratum of almost pure
sulphur, having a thickness of lO8
feet. Water strongly impregnated
with sulphur issued from the shaft at
the rate of $50 gallons per minnie,
and rose Is feet above the surface of
the ground in verticle tube.
1t is of interest to reproduce the
series of strata penetrated by this Dor
ing, the thickness of each stratum be-
ing given in the first column and the
depth in the second column:
