,vav TO the summit of Popocatepel
volcano. sixty miles distant from the
capital. While it is proposed to es-
tabIfsh a pleasure resort on the top
of the mountain the chief purpose is
to lake out the millions of tons OF
sulphur that has accumulated in the
crater. The syndicate has obtained
control of Popocatepetl from Gen.
Casper Sanchez Ochoa. It is $4,000
feet to the summit.
A few years ago a commission OF
mining experts appointed by the
Mexican government investigated the
SULPHUR deposit contained in the era
ter. and reported that not only the
deposit was the largest in the world,
but that it was absolutely pure. The
quantity was estimated at 14S,OOO,-
600 tons, within a depth Of 500 feet.
As the annual increase is about
1.4SO,OO0 tons the amount there now
is. of course, much greater than the
original estimate. The average price
of sulphur is $40 ton. 1t is said
that the crater sulphur can be profit
bly, sold at $40.
The mining of sulphur in the era
ter OF Popocateptl has been carried
on internationally for 400 years.
ever since the conquest of Cortez.
Great quantities have been brought
out on the backs of Mexicans.
The daring of some of these native
sulphur miners is remarkable. They
do not hesitate to go to the very rim
of the hole which comes up through
the incrusted deposit of sulphur, and
which leads far down to the ever
SETTLING cauldron of the volcano.
The crater is about 1900 feet in di-
ameter. In most places the walls of
the crater are pendicular. The de-
scent from the rim of the crater to
the top Of the sulphur deposit is a
sheer $50 feet. The natives reach
the deposit by means of rope ladders.
The temperature in the crater is
comfortably warm. On the outside
an area of snow and ice extends far
down the side of the mountain.
1t requires endurance and nerve
for a tourist to make the ascent of
Popocatepetl. A few American wo-
men have made it. The first point
of the journey is made on burros,
but the worst part of it must be
made on foot.
1t has been more than a hundred
years since Popocatepetl ("Smoking
Mountain'') had a violent eruption.
It still elects gases from the orifice
that leads down into its burning pit,
but this little evidence that it is still
alive is lightly regarded by those
who would despoil the crater of its
sulphur treasure.

state some events which are termed
very significant, such as the forced
retirement of Chief of Police Nc
Weeny, the changed attitude of Ma
yor Harrison, the closing of the red
light district and the revocation of
licenses of some notorious resorts.
Now 1 call the McWeeny and the
resorts cases a good thing for Chi
eago. But when it comes to closing
the redhght district think it is
foolish to undertake such a thing.
Chicago needs a redlight district.
When we had the redlight district
going full sway there was not one
third the amount of crime in Chicago
there is today. And another thing,
if you will trace it back you will see
crime began to increase when they
began to close the redlight district
and has kept growing ever since.
Now, why?
Because the police turned all their
attention to the girls and let the
crooks go if they would hand over a
small sum, and those that did not
found it easier to pinch girl than
a man. Aud the se-caIled Committee
of Fifteen sat back and boosted of
what they were doing for the respect
able people of Chicago by driving the
sporting girls into the resident dis
trict and letting crime go father than
any other city in the world.
You even put Paris as a model city
compared to Chicago. And yet the
poor, simple-minded people of this
city will keep quiet and let some So
called refor1ner come into this city
and pull the wool over their eyes, and
with their money Is it any wonder
Chicago is called the sucker city?
We could (When the redlight dis
trict was going) tell what kind of a
neighbor was next door, but now you
can't tell, not even in the aristocratic
sections. And yet, they say driving

man, rushing toward table in the
Hotel Brevoort, where her husband
and two other women were dining
together.
The older of the two women sprang
up from the table and grasped the
angry wife about the waist, holding
her till the girl she addressed had es-
capped. This girl was Mae l. Wood,
who had, it is alleged, used her
friendship with Mrs. Charles NJ. Price

He merely grinned.

1t did not seem to happen right at
once, however. Every time James e.
Carroll came in he looked more pros
porous, and he told the Manicure Girl
each time of how much money he
was making as grain and stock
operator" Every time it was more
and more. He didn't exactly boast
about it: he was only gleeful in a
large, childish way, and it is doubt
ful if he gloated to any one else as
he did to Miss Williams. He had
constituted her his confidante from
the beginning and seemed to feel it
solemn duty, as we'll as a joy, to
come in and let her know his prog

transition from a country boy to an
all-rouhder. His clothing now was
up to the minute, his talk up to the
second, and everything about him
was right on the dot; but in place
of the rugged pink and brown of his
cheeks he now had massaged com

his eyes.
