mined, and in winter there are otaer

ore occurs in chambers win occasional
veins. 1t is found mixed with por-
phyry, mari and drift earth. and from
two 20 fifteen feet of the latter has to
be removed from the surface before
reaching the ore.
While some of it grades as high as

Of the stuff does not contribute very
much in the way of a neat appearance

as il only needs half a chance TO eat
away rails, spikes, ties and all.
Through an the open cuts the water
flows, and over the entire surface it
is all a-bubble with the escaping sui
phuretted hydrogen gas. The odor
emitted by this gas bears close re-
semblance to the concentrated extract
of decayed henfrUit. 1t is enc of the
places where the workman. TO enjoy
himself must become accustomed to a
fOretaste of the hereafter.
There are deposits of sulphur at va
riCus other points from three and
half to five miles away, extending into

within twelve to fourteen patented
claims, all the property of the one
company. These beds lie about twenty
five miles from Sewer, on the Rio
Grande Western. and twenty eight
miles from Black Rock on the oregon

filming sugar, and again in the Neil
process for reduction of copper ores.
The company has sold 125,090 pounds
the past winter to the Coconino Cop
per Mining company in northern Ari-
zCna. 1t is also used for manufac-
turing sulphuric acid
Ground sulphur is used largely, mixed
with lime for sheep dip and for spray
ing trees mixed with lime and salt
Considerable quantities of it are also
used in connection with rock salt for
the cattle ranges.
Flowers Of sulphur, which is the fin
est product manufactured here, is
medicated and finds sale chiefly for
medical and chemical purposes.
Flour. or finely ground. sulphur is
also used for sheep dip. and for chem
ical purposes.
Roll sulphur is used by manUfactur-
ers for bleaching many products. in
preparing fruits for drying and i'm
bleaching cloth. 1t is made from the
virgin sulphur rocks. It is also used
in curing hops.
