beds of sulphur, which are 1()00
feet below the surface of the
earth. This hot water is backed !
by compressed air, and the sul-1
phur is melted, and forced to the
surface. Here it is caught in a
moulten state. It soon cools,
however, and with its cooling it
hardens. It is shipi>ed from!
some other the mines as crude sulphur, but
it is sulphur sold on a guarantee!
of being 95.5 per cent pure. I
However, it often tests out 99.9
percent pure. The sulphur is
used mainly in the manufacture
of pulp-paper and black powder
However, it is used in many otl
er things, such as
dips fori^^MJppMMniirriphy,

The location of the great sul
phur field so near a port makes
it one of the great assets to Tex

mended by the Secretary of War.
this port will become one of the
great ports of the country. This
sulphur tonnage is such as will
give return cargoes for sea going
vessels, and return cargo for
ships is just what a back haul is
to a railroad.
