LOUISIANA SULPHUR
MINED BY PUMPING

Seven or eight years ago the imports
of Sicilian sulphur amounted to more
than 100000 long tons. With the
growth of the sulphur industry in
Louisiana, according to the United
States geological survey, the imports
of Sicilian sulphur in the United
States have become almost a negligible
quantity, the entire imports from
italy for 1910 being but 1O,7O4 tons.
The production of sulphur in the Unit
valued at 49, ,112, the great bulk of
which came from Louisiana.
The mining of sulphur in Louisiana
is an interesting process. The sui
phur deposit, situated near Lake
Charles, lies about 440 feet beneath
the surface and is about 100 feet
thick. Beds Of quicksand everything the
sulphur render the sinking Of shafts
impossible, and the sulphur is therefore
pumped to the surface. A well is driv-
en- through the numerous strata to the
sulphur-impregnated beds, in much the
same manner as is usual in sinking
wells for oil and gas. In each well
there are placed concentrically four
lines of pipe, having diameters ranging
from 10 inches to l inch. Su~perheated
water and hot air are forced down the
pipes and the spaces between them to
met the sulphur and to bring it to the
surface. The hot water flows down be-
tween the two outer pipes, which are
respectively 10 inches and 6 inches in
diameter, and passes into the sulphur
bearing mass, melting the sulphur. The
quantity of sulphur melted and the
range of action Of the water depend
on the temperature of the water and
On the pressure at which it is supplied.
The heavy melted sulphur runs back
into the stump around the bottom Of
the well pipe, which it enters through
holes provided for this purpose. Hot
compressed air is forced down through
the smallest or 1-inch pipe and at the
bottom of the well mixes with the
melted sulphur and forms an aerated
mass sufficiently low in specific gravity

that the wicked LoRIMER first gave wide

the people giving the sign Of the thumbs
and governed themselves accordingly.
How much the people really knew about
the case except as they took their cue
from the demagogues Of high and low
degree. or read reports in newspapers
dedicated to the destruction Of LORI
MER, let Senator JOHNSTON testify:
Mr.. President. day before yesterday I
sent UP to the document room to inquire
how many copies of the hearings had been
taken out. and was Informed that but
forty -one had been removed from the
document room not enough to supply
half the members of the senate; and 40
far as am advised not single copy had
been sent to any citizen In private life."
WILLIAM LoRNfER is not OF heroic
mould. and as an advocate for himself he
made a sorry and repellent figure. He is
certainly not the type Of man who orna-
ments the Senate or serves the people Of
the country acccptably. But he did not
have fair trial before that body. On
the newly discovered evidence, 30 called,
mainly the story Of CLARENCE 8. FUNK
that EDWARD HINES solicited from him
a contribution to a pool Of $4,000 to
pay for WILLIAM LoRIMER's election by
bribery, the defendant would have been
acquitted In a court Of record. The
second case presented against WILLIAM
IORINER was no stronger than the first,
which resulted in his acquittal by the
full Senate. That he was presumed to
be guilty before his second trial by q
Senate containing many new members
fresh from the people. who had made up
their minds about the case, can hardly
| be doubted
