SULPHUR MINING
IS ILLUSTRSTEO
The mining, distribution and the
uses of sulphur, a mineral of great
economic importance, are visulized
in a new two-reel educational
motion picture just completed by
the United States Bureau of Mines
in co-operation with a large pro
ducing company.
J no United States produced ab
out 2,000.000 tons of sulphur in
1920, or more than SO per cent of
the world total, a carload of
sulphur being- produced in this
country every 10 minutes it is
pointed out in the film.
Tim early scenes show how a
typical sulphur mining town near
the Gulf of Mexico, near Texas.
7; nyn most of the domestic sul
phur is mined. The highly ingen
ious process bv which sulphur is
mined, by meltin'- it underground
with heat simp her! bv superheated
ws t. then forcing the liquid sul
phur * o the surface by compress
ed ear. is new ill us: rated. Views
are giv n of the huge boilers
used for generating the steam
used in heating the water and se
al ring power, and of the great
reservoirs necessary for the in
surance of adequate supplies of
water. The treatment plant- in
which scale-forming w morale are
removed from the water before it
enters the boilers and heaters is
■ Iso shown.
Wells a a drilled down through
various formations to the sulphur
bearin' strata, and are equipped
with concentric pipes which carry
down the heated water and com
prised air and bring up the li
quid sulphur. A series of views
picturizes the drilling of the wells,
in which ordinary oil well drill
ing equipment is used.
An ovder to kill bluejays in
parks if Bristow. Okla.. started a
controversy between the citizens.
The output of the Missouri coal
