Sulphur in New Mexico,
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
I noticed in the columns of The Star Of
the oath instant an account of the recent
discovery Of sulphur deposits on Unalaska
Island. Alaska, and the probable immediate
sumption in competition with Sicilian sui
phur There is an enormous demand for
sulphur in this country and 1t is annually
increasing, and the discovery in Alaska will
no doubt receive considerable attention
But 1t may be proper to mention that we
need not go as far as Alaska for sulphur
for home consumption, as there have been
recent discoveries Of sulphur made in New
Mexico, which it is claimed by mining ex-
perts are so great that their value cannot
be estimated at the present But 1t is
claimed that this discovery contains suffi-
cient native sulphur with which to supply
the world for one hundred years to come
The ore is not refractory, and renders
under wood fire, yielding between ninety
and ninety-fve per cent pure flowers of
sulphur. These workings can hardly be
considered new discoveries as the present
owner recently opened an old shaft which
has no doubt been timbered I'D for CEN
turtles and which dips into the mountain
side several hundred feet. There is no
knowledge of when or by whom sulphur
was mined in this wonderful deposit and
even no tradition among the Indians as to
the use of the product by their tribes, but
the location and conditions tally somewhat
with reports Of vast sulphur deposits dis
who perhaps were driven from the place by
hostile tribes of Indians and were com.

WITHOUT AUTHORITY.
Commissioners Not Permitted to Lease
Georgetown Market.

Corporation Counsel Duvall has submitted
to the Commissioners an opinion relative to
the proposition made by NJ. A. Dugan to
lease the Georgetown market. Mr.. Dugan
wrote to the Commissioners stating he I'M
derstood the market had been conducted at
loss by the District. He proposed to
lease the market for term Of years.
This property" says Corporation Counsel
Duvall. appears to have been conveyed
to the late corporation of Georgetown by
deed dated October q. 1902. and recorded
in the land records of the District Of Co
lumbia. By virtue of the act of Con-
gross. approved February q. 1871. the cor
porations OF Washington and Georgetown.
and all property of said corporations, were
vested in the District Of Columbia. The
property in question has been continuously
used as a public market house under the
direct supervision Of the municipal au-
thorities.
Il am Of the opinion that the Commits
sioners are without authority to make q
lease Of the GEORGETOWN market. as pro-
posed. II such disposition Of the market
Is desired. In my judgment. further legis-
lation by Congress will be necessary"

joy the numerous attractions and to see
the many points Of interest there. The trip
down the river and Chesapeake bay will
prove one of the most enjoyable stages of
the outing, the appointments of the superb
steamer leaving nothing to be desired in the
way Of comfort. A reduced rate for the
round trip has been made, and the demand
for state rooms is already large The
steamer leaves the wharf foot Of 7th street,

old-Type Schooner a Wreck.

The Alice Carlisle. one OF an old type of
small three-masted schooners is lying on
the mud flats In the Eastern branch at the
mouth Of James creek slowly going to
pieces. The Carlisle for many years did
good service as a freighter on the Potomac
river. and on other tributaries of Chesa-
peake bay. She was built at Portsmouth,
Va. In 1852 and ran cargOes OF wood and
lumber out Of the Rappahannock river to
Baltimore.
About ten years ago she was purchased
by parties residing in Westmoreland coun-
ty. Va. and has since then brought many
hundred cords of wood to this city. Sew.
eral months ago she was brought to this
city, and, leaking, was run on the fats
There she is lying without sails and slow
ly going to pieces 1t is stated she win
soon be broken up for the iron that is in

BENEFIT OF THE POOR.
Balance Of VIM. Won Schepke's Estate
to Be So Disbursed.

Under the provision Of the new District
code the District Of Columbia becomes the
possessor Of $14.59 from the estate Of VIM.
Won Schepke. deceased. representing the
money remaining after all requests had
been made. and no relatives could be found.
The money. under the law. Is to be dis
bursed for the benefit Of the poor. The
Commissioners referred the matter to Audi
tor John r. Garrison for advice as to the
manner Of handling such funds. Mr.. Gar
rison has replied:
Under the provisions Of the season, II
would seem that II the check be collected
by the collector Of taxes and the pro-
ceeds deposited In the Treasury Of the
United States as a special trust fund. the
money should be subject to reQuisition Of
the Commissioners to be expended for the
beneht OF the poor. as provided in said
posted in the treasury and drawn upon
by the Commissioners. the only way in
which 1t can be made available for the
purpose prescribed by law will be to de-
posft the amount to the credit Of the dis
bursting ofiicer of the District to be sub
5ect to his official check. This latter method
Is undesirable.
I'm my opinion. the proceeds Of the
check cannot be lawfully deposited to the
credit of the annual appropriation provided
by Congress for the relief of the poor Of
the District since that would augment the
appropriation. which is by law made paya-
BILE one-half from the revenues of the Unit
ed States and one-half from the revenues Of
the District of Columbia. and would tend
to complicate accounts under this appropri-
alton.
Il respectfully recommend that the mat
ter be referred to the controller of the
treasury for his decision whether the pro-
ceeds of this check and all other funds ac-
cruing to the District in like manner may,
under the provision of law cited, be de-
posted in the treasury Of the United States
as an appropriated special fund, to be de-
nominated escheated estates relief fund Of
the District. subject to the requisition Of
the Commissioners for disbursement in ac-
cordance with the said section of the code
Of the District enacted by Congress-"

CITY AND DISTRICT.

Thomas p Hartigan of the local detective
corps failed to answer roll call last night
He had been taken sick during the after
noon and one of the police surgeons was
called to attend him. His sickness, it is be-
heved, was caused by the hot weather, al
though some of his brother officers declare
he is suffering from exhaustion caused by
landing so many heavy bass on his recent
fishing trip.
Major Richard Sylvester chief of police
who is regarded as one of the most expert
anglers in this city, has taken advantage
of the clear water and gone to DickerSon's
for an outing of a few days. Because of the
pressure of business the superint is
unable to take long vacation, and he gets
the required rest on short outings up the
river.

Is employed as a Pullman porter on the
