Canada's, Sulphur Queen

A bid of $21, 900 was made this week for $1oo share in the ueion sulpher cemnany, hut nene w.s offered. Thsro ars enly ooco shares outstanding, si. though the total authorized stack was for s4ooooo. Apparently an original investment Of $2oo.o0o Is now worth from fifty to- one hundred million.
 The Union suIpher Company, which owns sulpher, mines iA caIcasieu pa. rish near Lake Charles, La, Is reputed to produce over 30 per cent Of the worlds suipher. The chief owner of this great property is a Canadian girl Frieda Fraseh, formerly of London, Ontario. Her father was a German chemist who came to Canada and work ed successfully on the problem of get ting sulpher out of Canadian petrol leum. Retiring with a good income he took up the production of sulpher as fad. when all others had failed.
 Miss Frasch. the "suIpher Queen" of the world. is now Mrs. Henry Whiton her husband being president of the company, which has its head office in New York. Mrs. Fraseh, her mother is Philadelphia Quakeress.
 The romantic story of how Prof. Frasch invented a mechanical process for mining this tremendous deposit of sulpher-by pumping hot water down one pipe and suIpher water up another was told sometime ago in the Financ al Post. The professor was Saxon not a Prussian. and when he found that his process gave him control of the worlds sulphur trade at such low prices that the British syndicate coul dnot compete, he went to Eng land said he did not want to ruin their shareholders and offered to make any reasonable deal they desired for their protection.
 They laughed at him, just as the Rothchids did when Charles M. Schwab told thehn of the future of Canadian nickel in competition with the deposits they controlled in New caIedonia.-Financial Post of Canada.
