Stopped Work.

Mr.. Carl P. Seymer, foreman, in
forms us by letter dated the 9th inst.
that orders have been received from
headquarters at New Orleans, to stop
all further operations at the sulphur
mines in this parish, and to prepare
the machinery at once for shipment
elsewhere. This is anything but en-
couraging for an enterprise that but a
few months ago seemed to be an as
sured success, not only in sulphur
mining but in placing before the pub
lie an oil that is said by many of our
mill men who have tried 1t, to be a
fine lubricating oil 1t is regrettable
that the present company has abHn-
doned these mines. We hope, how
ever, that the suspension Of work
at these mines will only prove of
temporary duration, and that in a
short while another company will
take hold and prosecute their develop
ment, as few doubts are entertained
by knowing ones as to there being
large deposits of sulphur in that sec
ton of Cnlcasieu
