Even the use of chopstick or spoons is unknown to these people, and they eat with their fingers entirely.
 The Different Tribes.
 Besides the Moros, the leading tribes on the eastern, part of the island are the Samales. the Bogobos, the Tacocolos, the Billianose, and the Monobes.
 The SamaleS, a tribe which exists large ly upon a fish diet. are covered with regular fish-scale skin, whether from ex. isting for ages upon fish or as a form of | skin disease is not known.
 | The Bogobos, once a coast tribe, fled into the mountain fastness to escape the Spanish friars, who attempted to Chris tianize them by baptism. These people do some exceedingly clever bead work, obtaining the beads from coast traders. The men each wear or carry beaded sacks In which are beetle nuts and lime (made from coraD which are chewed as tobac- co. These ingredients are chewed at the same time and horribly bitter red sa- liva results from the compination, which turns the teeth as black as coal. There are between 2000 and 5000 Bogobos. They practice polygamy and slavery. With them tum-tum kettles, are money and musical instruments alike. They accom- pany the pounding of the tum-tums Ghe sound of which can be heard for mles), singing in a gutteral way which is terri flying. All are exceedingly fond of mon- key flesh and would give the white men three wild chickens for a single monkey.
 The Tacolos and Monobos much resem- ble the Bogobos in appearance and mode of life. Being head hunters the Billanos are not much annoyed by outsiders. Their town is situated at the base of Mount Uptule, and the Datto Belang has 8 border of skulls placed about his 'barrio," or town, to warn other tribes i of the danger of coming too near. One of the peculiar customs of these people is that at certain season each year they are allowed to kill the first person met by them, it being a survival of the strongest. In order to avoid being about at this time the majority of the Billianos put up bamboo and sapling floors in trees, where they remain. if possible. until the season of death is passed.
 Ornaments Delight Them.
 These islanders would trade anything they possess for tin cans, such as the soldiers carried much of their provisions in. In less than half an hour after the cans were owned by them the tin had been transformed into rings, bracelets. and ankle bands.
 Ns A Task Indeed.
 The problems to be considered in an at- tempt to civilze the Moros and other in- habitants of many of these new island possessions of the United States can not be lightly considered. Under the most favorable circumstances 1t will be a task requiring probably centuries of time and an endless amount of painstaking and pa- tience

In the sulphur industry there exists
the rather anomalous condition of
abundant supplies at home, but prac-
tically no home reduction. notwith-
standing a heavy demand for the ar
ticle supplied by imports principally
from Sicily and some from Japan.
The production Of sulphur in the
United States for 1901 was 1890 short
tons. valued at 1929, $40 (at s29 per
tom which was derived from Nevada,
Idaho, Utah, Louisiana and Oregon,
the last named State, after a long pc
Rod Of inactivity, having r~e-entered
the list Of producing States in 1901;
the biggest producer being Nevada.
The total consumption of sulphur
in the United States for 1901 was $685.
745 short tons, including the sulphur
in pyrites, which is used in the man
u%facture of sulphuric acid. In Cali
fornia, sulphur occurs in Lake county
at clear Lake and Chalk mountain,
in Inyo, Santa Barbara, Ventura and
Colusa counties, and in more limited
quantities in Tehama. Napa. Kern, San

Clear Lake, but owing to its inability
to discover high-grade crude material
and the impossibility of economically
separating the quicksilver which was
present in the deposits, operation was
abandoned. So long ago as 1882 works
were put in operation in San Fran
cisco for the manufacture of "iour

tesanieally, work was discontinued, as
capital could not be secured for the
development of the mines which were
the base of supplies.

! rites. there are so many purposes for
which sulphur is required that an in
v~estigation into the deposits of this
State would appear worthy of con-
s~ideration. Amongst these require
ments may be mentioned gun powder,
fire works, matches, vulcanizing India
rubber. paper, sheep dip, etc, whilst
for the destruction Of insects on
plants, vines, fruit-trees and in the
bleaching of nuts and dried fruit. Ne
vada. like California. has numerous
deposits of sulphur among which may
be noted those of Steamboat Springs,
in Washoe county, where the crude
material carries a high percentage of
pure sulphur, but, owing to its oc-
curing only in small punches and mar
row strata mixed with earthly matter,
the deposit, which was extensively
exploited some years ago, was subse-
quently abandoned, says the Pacific
Coast Miner.
What are believed to be the most
extensie deposits known or this coast
occur at Rabbit Hole Springs, 80
miles from Humboldt, Humboldt coun-
~. Nevada. They were discovered in
1873 and at intervals worked in a des-
ultory way. but it was not until 1898
that any attempt VS. made to open
ND the beds in a proper manner and
place the business on a commercial
basis. The attention of Louis Block,
of the Grown Paper company and
Floriston Pulp and Paper company,
having been drawn to the deposits, he
investigated them. and, with the in
tent+oa of obtaining from these mines
the sulphur required in the pup and
paper mill at Floriston, the Nevada
Sulphur company was formed, with l.
Zellerbach, president, and Mr.. Bloeh'
secretary and manager.
The company purchased 1900 acres

Sulphur. Deposits of State of Nevada

have been proved to exist for a con-
tinuous distance of three miles. The
sulphur occurs in limestone and mag
nesian rocks overlaid by a stratum of
dry, ashy-like earth, and comprises a
series of blanket formations, many Of
which are 1000 feet wide, go feet deep
and 5000 feet long. These deposits
have been developed by a large num-
Der of tunnels. some of which are
1000 feet in length, having air shafts
to the surface. The crude sulphur is
stopped overhead and dropped down
chutes into cars which deliver it at the
refining works. All crude material
yielding over 8 per cent sulphur is
mined. but a considerable quantity of
90 per cent material is found, and the

very high. The capacity of the re-
fnery is from 22O to 25O tons per
month. and. in consequence, the out
put of the mines is limited to the
amount but it is intended to consid-
erably increase the plant shortly. The
company employs thirty men, most of
the miners being Italians who work
ed in sulphur mines in Sicily. There
are also in constant work four teams
of fourteen horses each, hauling the
ground product to Humboldt, and
camp supplies, timber and wood and
coal for fuel brought back to the
mines. The average value of the sui
pbur produced is $50 per ton at Hum
boldt, and, owing to this, the original
intentions of the company were
changed. The paper manufacturers
found that the inferior sulphur i'm
ported from Japan and obtainable at
a much lower price, was suitable for
their requirements, so the company
sells the product, on the open mar
ket. for many commercial purposes for
which sulphur is used.

Will Gracefully Surrender and Not In

Topeka. Kan, April IL. y. Fike.
the Democratic member of the board of
railroad commissioners, has decided that
he will make no contest to retain his place
on the board, but will surrender grace
fully when the time comes. It seems to
be quite well established that when the
new member of the board comes in, w.
II. Smith, the present secretary, will go
out. In fact. the reorganization of the
board will probably involve a complete
reorganization of Its Office force. The
latest talk is that z. c. Sinner, the stem
ographer OF the board is also TO be in
cluded In the change. Sinner is from Pot
tawatomie county. and both Of the MEM
bers from his county worked against Cur
tbs in the last legislature. He may not
have been responsible for that fact but
is likely TO suffer for it. nevertheless.
Mr. Wheatley will not take his place as
a member of the board until May 1.
There are several cases of some impor-
lance now pending, on which it is desir-
able that the old board should take final
action. These matters might have been
cleared up before now if it had not been
for the inability of j. c. o. Morse TO be
in attendance at any meetings OF the
board. Mr.. Morses mother is critically
I'll. and he has been in constant attend
ance on her for a week or more past

peka today. and after a short conference

was effected.

cities in the state elected justices of the
peace and constables at the recent city
election despite the provision in the BIZ
ennial election law, enacted by the last
legislature providing that township Of
ficers shall be elected biennially at the
regular fall elections These officers
cannot qualify and the present officials
will hold over until next year. Attorney
General Cole several months ago rendered
an opinion holding that justices of the
peace and constsbles in cities were
township officers and the opinion was
widely published. but it seems that it
was overlooked recently in many places.
Recently Attorney General Coleman has
been receiving letters from the places
where the justices of the peace and con-
stabls were elected at tn recent city cleo
