THE CONDEMNED MEN.

The fve men under sentence of death
at the State Prison are constantly un-
der the eyes of the death watch, which
is composed of eight men, each stand
ing an eight hour watch. The con-
demned men are unusually cheerful
and apparently lunmindful of the APP
proach of the day set for their execu-
ton. They are exercised every day for
an hour or more in the prison yard.
Their indifference to their fate Is prob
ably due to the hope that their senten-
ces will be commuted to life imprison-
ment by the State board of pardons.

A BIG NEVADA
SULPHUR MINE.

amines Deposits.

had a glimpse of the Internal regions
He was sent to inspect sulphur mins

way. This Is on the edge of the Black
Rock Desert, a desolate volcanic region
in which there is little to rest the eye
or cheer the spirit. The mines are
in the form Of pits, open cuts, and
drifts, exemplifying in every case that

to Avernus"
This deposit was discovered about 35
years ago by an Indian, who sold II

ed by two partners, white men, who
quarreled over their profits until one
of them killed the other, cut him up,
put him IN a sack, and buried him
t1ereabouts.
For long time the ghost Of the
murdered miner had things all his
own way. The appearance of the
Nevada sulphur Mine Company and
Mr.. B,euh in the field in 1900 put an
end to this monopoly. The new COM
pany entered at once on the active
production of sulphur and birthstone.
They started with only one retort, but
have since added another. These re-
torts are cylindrical iron structures
somewhat resembling blast furnace
in general appearance. After the ore
is dumped into them they are closed,
and superheated steam is then turned
on. The sulphur melts and runs out
Of the bottom of the retort into set
tling pan, from which 1t is drawn into
nolds. The forms in these molds
weigh about $50 pounds. After they
have cooled, they are crushed to pea
size or ground with burrstones into
flour.
The sulphur Of pea size is shipped
In 100 pounds sacks. Where the sui
phur has taken crystalline form, 1t
looks bright and sparkling, its yellow
crystals often beautifully tinted with
rosy cinnabar. The richer deposits are
the dark, massive ones which looks
like solid walls of birthstone. They
make an appropriate background for
the ghostly figures of the miners bent
at their tasks. Everywhere about the
upper works hangs the penetrating
order of sulphorlc fumes, and below
ground, the gruesome squeak of the
sulphur follows every football.
DIR. Adams will write report OH
the mine, to be in cluded in the Sur
vey's yearly volume on Economic
Geology.
He took back to Washington an in
teresting collection ofspecimens, which
show that a good grade OF sulphur
is produced in this county and
that we are not dependent on importa-
tions from Sicily to supply the de-
mand. Only few deposits in the
United States are at present mined,
but II a tariff were leveid on the fore
ign product, much greater develop
ment of native deposits might be ex-
pected. The investigations of the
Survey were made for the purpose Of
ascertaining the nature and extent OF
the Nevada deposits.-Morning Miner.
