Show THE SULPHUR MINES. An Important Industry that Has Been Crippled by Litigation. ANOTHER SUIT IN NOW PROSPECT. W. C. B. Allen Says the Tintic District is Looking Well The Koad to Silver City Li9 anil Spurs. w It is a pity that the sulphur industry, which should be a source of considerable revenue to Utah, is so sadly crippled by tedious te-dious litigation. During the comparatively short time that the mine6 on Carr Creek were worked by Ferdinand Dk'kcrt,overrj000 tons of sulphur was extracted, and the amount realized from the sale of it considerably consid-erably exceeded (200,000. It looks as though the litigation had not yet ended, either. Mr. Dickert originally owned ISO shares in the Utah Mining o: Manufacturing company of Cleveland, and on February 5, 1SSS, 160 of these shares were sold for an alleged delinquent delin-quent assessment, although Mr. Dickert laims that the company owed him at that lime considerably more money than the assessment as-sessment amounted to. Two other singular features of the hocus pocus proceeding are that all of Mr. Diekert's stock was not sold, and that other slock, upon which the alleged al-leged assessment was delinquent, was not Bold at all. That gentleman is now preparing prepar-ing to bring suit to have the alleged sale set aside on the ground of fraud, and should lie win he will again actively work the mines. There is a feeling here that Mr. Dickert has not been fairly dealt with, and a hope that should the matter come up in another form he will get justice. While Utah sulphnr cannot be profitably disposed of as far west ?t San Francisco, owing to competition with the Japanese article, ar-ticle, nor east of the Missouri river, still the entire iut'T-mouiitaiu region can be supplied sup-plied ami the mines worked at a good profit for that, market.
