The Nevada Deposits Not the Only Ones In America. _ ‘The Virginia City Chronicle says that ‘the statement that the only sulphur deposits.in.the United States are. located in the Rabbit Hole mountains, Humboldt county, where Marcus Baruh . f went from this city last week to take charge of them, is erroneous, Thé Chronicle says: There are numerous deposits in other parts of Nevada, Utah and Arizona that could be profitably worked were it not for the shrewd work of consumers who managed to have Japanese and Spanish sulphur up to 98 fine admitted as the crude product free of tariff. This rascally scheme shut out successful competition with domestic producers as the Japanese product is brought over in. ballast at a nominal rate of transportation. Daring the Spanish war when sulphur was declared. contraband there was a marked increase in the-home product and domestic sulphur deposits were in demand,es On the Trolley.
