WHAT is SAFE CONDITION.

In the late case of Lively VS.. Amer
lean Zinc Co., 1911 Southwestern Re-
porter, 975, the Tennessee supreme
court APPLIES the mine safety law of
the state.
While being hoisted on an elevator
in a mine shaft, miner became rant
and fell over one edge, owing to a
chain on that side of the car being
fastened. Timbers in the shaft drew
him from the elevator and he was
killed by falling to the bottom OF the
shaft. His administrator sued fol
dana yes, relying upon violation O
the state statute that requires hoist
ing machinery to be kept in safe con
dition.
| Affirming the ruling of the tria
court that the accident was not due t.
defendant employers fault, the su
preme court holds that where specifl
safety requirements are made by law
they must be absolutely compile
! with; approximate compliance Is in
sufficient; but that the requirement ]
the Tennessee statute for safe hoist
ing machinery leaves 1t to mine OPP
orator to install reasonably safe ap
planes, tested by the degree OF car
usually exercised by operators in gen
eral under similar circumstances.
he selects a type Of machinery
general use, he can not be deemed
be negligent. because there may be :
ssafer type in use.
Finding that the elevator in questio
J was of the kind used throughout II
country in well managed mines, II
J court holds that defendant sufficient
complied with the law.

RICH STRIKE IN oWYHEE. .
Placer Miners Uncover Long Sought
Gold Lead.

(Owyhee Avalanche, Silver city,
While working on their placer
ground at the head of Slaughter House
or Henry gulch, about a mile and a
half from town, the three Cook boys,
Walter, Charles and Sterile, last week
uncovered one of the richest finds in
free gold that has been discovered in
this district in a number of years.
The source or mother lode that was
feeding this famous placer ground that
has yielded hundreds of thousands of
dollars during the early days of this
camp, has been prospected for for
years without avail. and it has been
proven in the past week that the gold
hunters of years gone by had sunk a
shaft on either side and within is
inches of the rich pipe of ore just un-
covered.
We visited the new strike Monday
morning and found a three-foot ledge
of decomposed granite with from four
to six inches of tale and graduated or
sugar quartz .on the hanging wall car
rying high values in silver and
coarse gold. We witnessed the
washing Of small quantity of
the pay streak which left a string OF
coarse gold several inches long in the
pan besides a liberal sprinkle of silver
nuggets. No assays have been made.
but it is estimated by reliable mining
men that the new find will sustain
War Eagles fame for trich ore shoots
and will produce equally as we'll as the
famous bodies opened in the Golden
Chariot, ORC Elmo, Poorman and other
early day mines of that famous noun
tain.
The new discovery is due north of
the Poorman about $500 or 5000 feet
and may be an extension of that won-
derful ledge. Another ledge about $50
feet vest of the new strike and one
on the same claim has been developed
and has made an exceedingly good
showing.

And now we come to the discovery
Freeport They were found shortly
after the oil began to spout on Spin
die Top hill. The petroleum deposit
at Beaumont, which began the oil in
dustry of the southwest, lay under a
great dome of rock, and it was asso-.
ciated with sulphur. Captain A. F..
Lucas, who discovered that Oil, con-
. ceived the idea that he could find oil
under any similar dome along the
gulf coast There were many of
them and he explored a great num-
ber Among others he sank well
into the dome under which this sui
phur lies 1t was then known as
Bryans mound and it lay here in the
prairie only ,23 feet above the low
coastal plain
Captain Lucas has told me how he
sank the well into the mound and
how, after he had gone down about
800 feet, there came a rush of VILE
smelling poisonous sulphurated hy-
dragen gas, so strong that it polluted
the air for miles around. 1t was
strong enough to kill mule and was
deadly to man and beast. 1t drove
the miners away from the well, ant
1t kept on flowing for months.
Captain Lucas was prospecting fol
oil, not for sulphur, and he had nj
idea of the value of his discovery. Fl,
allowed his lease to lapse, and 1t wal

the property came into the hands o
the present owners, r. p. Swensol
and others, who comprise the Free
port Sulphur company. which ha
. spent millions in sinking wells an
in building great plants by which tn
sulphur is brought to the surface.

But let us see how these great
blocks are built UP. The sulphur as
it comes from the earth is carried in
pipes to an acre-field, close to the
well. This has been smoothed, and a
fence of two-inch planks run around
it.. The planks are nailed to post 10
feet in height so that they. make a.
tight board wall which reaches as
high as your head. The sulphur be-
gins to flow in. 1t comes out of the
pipe in a boiling, bubblng liquid so
thin that it flows easily over the
ground. 1t is now 100 degrees above
the heat of boiling water, but it is
sulphur and it congeals or freezes at
| $50 degrees Fahrenheit 1t is so hot
that it spreads evenly over the sur
face, and little later solidifies, maxi
/ ing a great bed of sulphur rock COW
ering the ground. AS more sulphur
comes, it flows evenly over this sur
face, and the great mass is gradually
built up in solid rock 40 feet thick
as l have described. AS the building
goes on the fence is made higher anC

see how the sulphur flows from the
earth. We start at the new town of

prairie. on a little hill in the dis
lance We see what seems to be enor-
nous factories with tall derricks
about them and oil tanks nearby. Be-
tween us and the buildings great
mountains of light yellow stand out
against the blue sky. The factories
contain the machinery which heats
the hot water and forces it a thous-
and feet down into the earth; the oil
tanks are filled with the fuel oil that
furnishes the great heat necessary
for melting the sulphur; and the
mountains of yellow are massive
blocks of sulphur built up by the
streams of lemon yellow gold, which
are pouring forth day and night all
the year through.
This is our view from the distance
AS the car brings us closer, the build
ings seem to increase in size until
they cover many acres. The great
blocks of sulphur grow larger and
larger and the immensely of the plant
daWns upon us. Look at that huge
pipe which follows the road over
which we are riding, That was laid
to carry fuel oil from the tank steam
ers in the harbor out to- the plant
The mines require $500 barrels of oil
every day, and there are 10000 bar
rels in the tanks which stand over
them. The company has fleet of
tank steamers for bringing this oil
from the wells of Tampico in Mex
leo, and it Is used solely for produc-
ing the heat.

Now come with me and let us look
at the huge blocks of sulphur which
stand out against the blue sky. There
are a half dozen waiting for the
steamers to come and take them
away, and others are rising by the
flow of the wells. Here is one that
covers more than an acre and is more
than 40 feet high. 1t is a mighty
cube of light yellow as clean as a
canary bird fresh from it's bath. 1t
has the cubic contents, / should judge,
of a half dozen large flats. Nearby
it is another which is 200 feet wide by
900 feet long and as high as a four
story house. 1t contains almost two
and a half million cubic feet and it
weighs I am told, about 100000 tons
There is a railroad track running
by the second block / have described,
and one section of it has been blaste |
down with dynamite so that the sui
phur may be broken into such shape
that it can be put on the cars. They
are loading cars now. The yellow
rock is picked up by clamshell
bucket attached to the end of a crane
worked by an engine. The bucket
takes two tons at bite, and the
steam crane swings it around and
drops it onto the cars The car is
loaded in very few minutes, and we
can see long trains of this light yell
low chemical moving across the
prairie and down to the harbor on
their way to the north.

The factories are really great hot
water plants. They are filled with
huge boilers which burn more than a
million and a half gallons of oil every
week and heat FROM 100000 to H.
600, 900 gallons of water day. This
water must be raised to a tempera-
ture of 1872 degrees, or 120 degrees
above boiling. 1t is then pumped
down into +. the ground through pipes
a thousand feet long at pressure of
$50 pounds to the square inch. H.
goes through the beds of sulphur and
melts them to liquid, which the
compressed air machines force to the
surface so that it flows out in "a
stream of bright yellow which might
be compared with the wine known as
sauterne
The beds of sulphur cover about
500 acres. The chemical lies in pock-
cts and veins in a gypsum formation
heavily loaded with water, but when
it comes to the surface it is absolute
ly pure, and it has only to cool to be
ready for sale. BY chemical assays
it is proved to be over SO per cent
pure sulphur, and it is sold on the
guarantee that it is 99h per cent
pure.

GRADUATING EXERCISES.

The class which graduated at the High
School auditorium, Thursday night of last
week, was one of the largest in the history
Of the school
In the class were: Paul TAYLOR, Herchel
Hyatt, Lena Harris, Parks Hyatt, Edith
Marchant, Mark Spargo, Wayne Swanson,
Lucille Marchant, Jack Anderson.
The class papers were of high order
and TO single out one or IT, o as better than
the rest would be an injustice to the others.
The applause that greeted each one of the
class indicated the satisfaction of their
friends and it was generous at that.
The unfortunate part of the programme
was the address to the class by d. r. Ha-
worth
This gentleman seemingly was so wrapt
up in an attempt to make an impression
on his audiance that he forgot that his re-
marks were supposed to be addressed to
the graduating class.
The address was entitled Simon Says
Wigwag." AS it consisted of some rather
stale stories and some questionable jokes,
it was hard matter to determine what re-
ference these had to the class. Holding
up Marc Antony, Brutus, and Cesar as
examples for twentieth century young men
and women had queer sound, to say the
least, and it is doubtful if either parent or
pupil had the idea that emulation of thess
personages could be thought of in this
connection.
Whatever might have been the possibli-
ties of this particular theme, Mr. Haworth
got less out of it than any speaker we ever
heard addressing graduating class.
