STORY OF A SULPHUR MINE.
Only One in This Country, 1t Is Said
How IL Is Worked.
milwaukee Sentinel)

There is only one sulphur mine in tbs
United States said Hubert User of New
Orleans THE existence of the mine is
known to but a few and was known tC
hardly any one until recent years.
The mine is said to contain about
$37 100000 worth of pure sulphur. 1t is
located near Lake Charles in an almost
Inaccessible region. 1T was discovered
by a famous mineralOgist, according to
one story, while anothe. has it that it
was found by party Of hunters Who
had shot bears in the vicinity and found
the coats of the bears TO be filled with
a black, greasy oil. They were curious
to know where this came from and
an almost impenetraDie marsh and com
ing out on a high wooded knoll where
the ell pit was discovered
Little was thought o the matter I'M
Ill a Few years before the civ. war. when
an attempt was made - sink a shaft tC
get the oil. The wa" broke u the bust
less. but in 1858 another SHAFT WAS sunk
this time with 122 huge steel rings, each
twelve feet in diamete" AID five feet
wide. They were imported from France
and rolled across the country to the oil
pit. r'hirty-eight of than were sunk N
one shaft. $50 feet dep but it filled W
with oil and it was f5dlId that nothing
could &c done with the enterprise. A for.
tune was sunk in the attempt.
Later the Standard Oil heard Of tbs
oil and came down TO examine tie
ground Borings were made ana 1t was
found that~below the oil was a stratum
o. pure sulphur rock from 125 10 40 feet
deep. Various expedIeats were tried to
mine the stuff. but al failed until one
OF the engineers thought UP q scheme
IL tAtract the sulphur by melting K and
pumping it to the surfaca Pornys made
] mile either way showed the stratum
to be about 200 feet Trick in every direc-
ton and the worth of the mine was esti-
mated at nearly $4,000 000.
"A unique and intricate process is used
to extract the sulphur. Huge iron pipes
are forced into the bed and hot water
pumped into them at $50 degrees from
a battery of 100 boilers After about ten
days the melted sulphur is pumped tc
the surface and flowed into huge watts
where it is allowed to cool"

out of transportation from that home to

No, indeed, and now by the terms of the

rOnage, more than any other one class
in the west, are the great mining ship

to the railroads and whose business is in
large matter the railroads business, too.
They are not often among the clamorous,
seldom asking for any favor, but the
railroad men will regret not being able
to extend courtesies to them as well as
10 their real newspaper friends.

Cant Do 1t, You Know"
Take the poor conductor, whose mea-

passenger of good address. How hard 1t
will be now for him to explain to the
man whose dollars he has pocketed be
fore, how he can't do II, you know, for
fear he (the passenger may suffer for it.
Perhaps the busiest men in town for
the next few weeks will be the railroad

their ordinary work, but they are con-

But the worst class of all is the fake

SWITCH COMP ANY
TO BUILD WORKS

Device for Use in Rail-

Negotiations have been nearly COM
pleted by &. NJ Hurst of the Hurst
Automatic Switch & Signal company,
which is incorporated under the laws
of Wyoming, by which that company
viii take over the grounds and build
ings of>the old copper plant, northwest
of Warm Springs and st. Marks hos
ptal, for factory purposes.
The plans of the company are to in
corporate under the laws of this state
within the next thirty days, and begin
active operations at once. The company
will be capitalized for $10,000,0O0 with
shares at $40.
c. NJ. Hurst, the inventor of the de-
vice, arrived in Salt Lake yesterday
from Portland to supervise the removal
of the general offices of the company
from that city to Salt Lake. He will
also take charge of the installation OF
one of the devices in the yards of the
Oregon Short Line railroad. between
Second and Third South streets. on
Third West street. The work of in
stalling this device has already been
commenced under the direction of j. T
Hurst, a brother of the inventor, who
is promoting the capitalization of the
concern.
The copper plant tract comprises
ninety-four acres of land, and can read
fly be supplied with a sufficient quantity
of water to make the operation of the
plant easy. The buildings. according
TO c. NJ. Hurst, are exactly what are
wanted by the company.
I'VE have selected this property. as
there is sufficient land to allow us to
enlarge as we may need to do in a
short time" he said yesterday. 1.-THE
buildings will require but little altera-
ton, and can be occupied in a short
time. This was another factor that has
caused us 10 take this property, as we
want to put in the machinery and gel
into operation as soon as possible.

GREAT LACK OF OFFICERS.

Washington, Aug. 11-Lack of Of
ficers in the navy is emphasized Just
now when applications are made for
leaves Of absence for short time dur
ing the hot summer months. Most of
these requests have had to be refused,
as there are not officers to go around.
Some of the ships are without their
full quota, and there is a demand for
officers TO fill the details ashore and in
the various bureaus where officers are
required. Quite a number of retired
officers are on duty, and are retained
because active officers cannot be spared
from other duties.
