Sentinel: "Lying to the southwest
OF Yuma about IS miles, on the west
slope of the Cocopah mountains, there
is the largest deposit OF pure sulpher
that has ever been found on the
American continent. 1t is situated
on or in the side Of mountain, about
one-half way up the summit. The
deposit is about 40 feet in length, 10
feet wide and so far as opened is 40
feet in height. Running through the
pure sulpher are veins Of potash-alum
from four to fourteen inches in thick
ness. 1t has been estimated that il
will cost $4,000 to open the deposit as
it should be and build wagon road
to New or Hardy's Colorado river,
eleven miles. by analysis, the sulpher
runs from IS to so per cent and the

"The kernel Of this thing is just
here. You were my meat, fair and
square. Them $4,000 was as good as in

ran against scheme when l was down
in Iowa a couple of months ago that
discounted any l ever tried before in
the results that followed. 1 was in
Sioux City, andrmost companies had
been playing to hard luck there for
some months. / ran against a man
who had four hunured head of cattle
to drive to lie Mars, about thirty miles
away, and l wanted to get all the pat
ronage possible from the half-dozen
small towns on the road between there
and Sioux City. When I heard that
this man was going to drive those cat
tie through all the towns | wanted to
reach l went to him and made an offer
Of S25 for the privilege of painting the
name and date of my show on every
steer in the bunch. / had some trou-
bic, but succeeded finally, and hired
some men to do the lettering. In a
few hours every steer in the lot bore
in black letters on expansive sides the
inscription, Rent, at the Peayy

prised at the result. On the opening
night they came in on the evening
trains from all along the route, and
we turned people away by the score.
