Mexico Sells Sulphur from Its Volcanoes

nmoklng volcnno on the North American
continent, and I am told that as soon ns
mntters aro quiet It enn be made to jy
big dividends on the pr'co now asked for
It. The old mountain han been for sale,
jff and on. for the last twenty-five years.
It was bought In UM by a syndicate of
Americans, headed by Captain Charles
Molt of Now York. The consideration
was SlOOOO.CtO Ii Mexican money, and tho
American sym'tcnte had an authorized
capital of 11 0 0,000 In gold. The plan was
to work thn enormous sulphur resources
or the volcnno and at tho same time to
supply Iro to Mexico City from the Ice
fields which cover tho peak. Tho prin
cipal forests about tho base of tho moun
tain were also to bo converted Into a
beautiful park and an Inclined railway
to tho top was to bring tourists here
from all over the world. This snlo was
only half consummated. The title was
disputed and the Mexicans could not de
liver tho Roods. After several years the
project was abandoned and the mountain
camo back to General Sanchez Ochoa.
one of tho great mining engineers of
Mexico, who has owned It theso many
years. I am told that the Pearson syn
dicate, backed by lord Cowdray. has
sinco considered the purchase and that
its plans Includo cogged railroads, not
oi'ly to the top of old "Popo." but also
to tho top o Ixtncclbuatl, or "The White
Woman." that mighty extinct volcano
which rises Into the clouds on'.y a few

Popocatapctl Itself Is a live volcano, or,
lit best, it is only sleeping. Since the time
of Cortez It has had ten mighty erup
tions. It Is tho Vesuvius of America, and
Is liable to breuk out at any time In an
other great burst of fire and lava. Its
lust eruption was In 1S02, but It Is still
bteathlng brimstone fumes from the
(treat holes In its crater. These holes are !
frt-ni seven to twelve Inches In diameter, 4.bome
-,i t, H... ..... those of
uivj ni(uiu nuipuur, mailing ine
emter a great brimstone factory.
The crater of old Popo Is about a mile
wide at the top and something like
1.000 feet deep. It is shaped like a bell,
thn diameter at the bottom being one
fourth of a mile and the floor, which
Is pure sulphur, going down, It Is said,
1,000 feet deeper. The mountain Is spit-
ting out sulphur at the rate of more I
than 1,000,000 tons per annum. Blnco the
conquest of Mexico more than 100,000,000
tens havo been taken out of it, and It is
os-tlmtitcd that there Is half as much
more on tho floor of the crater, running
down to a depth of 500 feet
The supply is far boyond the demands
of all tho world, and If It could be mar
keted It represents wealth beyond the
dreams of avarice. The annual consump
tion of sulphur In the United States and
Europe Is perhaps 600,000 or 700,000 tons.
The most of the product comes from
Italy, and It sells for 120 a ton. If It
could be supplied by Mexico, It would
mean a gross Income of (14,000,000 a year,
and the sulphur In sight at half of
above mte would be worth $1,500,000,000.
As Colonel Sellers said of his famous
eye-water: "There's millions In It"
of Tbpocafapet-l
ago with an explosion which was heard
In southern Australia, 2,200 miles away
That eruption took away two-thirds of
the island, and the sea Is now 1.000 feet
deep where the center of tho mountuln
onco stood. Tho biggest volcanic crater
in Java is In tho eastern part of tho Is
land. It is known as the Sund sea; It Is
burrounded by craters and It has other
volcanoes In Its center. I rode across the
Eand sea on a pony, and climbed to tho
top of the Bromo volcnno, which is still
active within It.

of tho finest, volcanoes aro
tho Hawaiian Islands, and tho
most wonderful volcano park that can
bo Imagined Is that which Uncle Sam
is now making on tho Island of
That Island is composed of
materials, nnd It has been
from tho sea bottom. This
lava Is now 14,000 feet above
level and It extends from the
bed of the ocean up to tho surface of
the water, a distance of 10,000 feet
i more. Therefore the oicanlc pllo
i which ends In tho crater of Mauna
Loa is really 80,000 feet high, or higher
than Mount Everest Is above the
level of the Bay of Bengal. Mount
Everest In the Himalayas, Is the high
est mountain on earth. The crater or
Mauna Loa, In our new park, la three
miles long, two miles wide and a
1,000 feet deep. The floor Is hard, but
quite hot; and there are cracks through
which you can see the hot liquid rock
far beneath.

In case the mountain is sold, the min
ing of this sulphur will be by modern
machinery, nnd tho cost of bringing It
to tho market will bo comparatively
small. The millions of tons already pro
duced have been dug up by the Indians
and carried in bags by means of rop
ladders out of the crater to a point where
It could be drawn up with a windlass
and rope, worked from the rim.
As soon ns the sulphur comes to the
top It Is handed over to men who place
It on straw mats and slide with It down
over the snow to tho timber line, from
whero It Is cnrrled by horses and mules
to tho cars.
Although tho crater Is exceedingly hot,
It Is threo miles above tho sea and Its rim
Is boredered with perpetual snow. With
the exception of the holes, its floor la
solid, nnd the workmen can move about
freely over It. Sow and then water
bursts In, and this, striking tho floor,
causes steam, which rises high over tho
mountain.
Tlio World's (ironies! Volcnnoc.
Popocatapctl Is next to the highest
point on the Mexican uplands, being only
surpassed by Mount Orizaba, It Is tho
fourth highest mountain In North Amer
twi, kissing the clouds at 17,80) feet above
the sea. The only mountains on our con
tinent that aro higher aro Mount St. Ellas
and Mount McKlnley in Alaska, the lat

more than 3,000 feet lower and Mount
Washington not much more than one

Mather Earth's Volcanic Belts.
All of the Sandwich Islands are vol
canic, and Indeed two-thirds of the
volcanoes of the world are said to be
upon islands. They seem to run In cer
tain belts over the globe. One belt
nearly encircle the Pacific, girdling that
ocean, as U were, with mighty smoke
stacks, from which pours forth steam.
This belt begins with the southern part
of South America, and runs up through
the Andes to the Culebra cut whero
steam has been oozing out of the great
gash made for our canal. From thern
the bolt goes northward through Central
America and Mexico. I saw somo of
Its steaming craters last winter while,
was in Costa Ittca and Guatemala.
and we have It again hero In Pniwrn.
tapctl and the now steaming volcano
of Collma not far away.
The belt widens in the United States,
but there aro no active volcanoes there,
und It narrows again when It gets to
Alaska. As It reaches Asia. It has
spasmodic eruptions, now and then
throwing an Island up In the sea, only
to take it away a few months or years
later. The volcano zone seems more
active as It goes south through Japan
to the Philippine Islands, and thence on
to the Dutch East Indies, New Guinea
and New Zealand. The volcanoes of tho
West Indies are said to be ono of Its
branches, but tljoae of tho Mediterranean
are apparently Independent of It or of any
other volcanic zone.
There aro some volcanoes In Africa and
many extinct ones In Asia. Among the
most beautiful volcanoes of the world are
Fujiyama, Japan; Mount Egmont, In New
Zealand, and the Moyon on Luzon, In the
Philippine Islands. They are all perfect
cones.
There are fow mountains, however,
more beautiful than Popocatapctl and
Ixtacclhuatl; or, as they are commonly
called here, "Old Popo" and the "White
Woman." And there are none so high
which may be so easily ascended, and
whloh pay bo well for the trip. Both
mountains are covered with snow, and
standing on tlio cathedral here in Mexico
City any evening you can seo this snow
turn to silver and then to burnished cop
per by the rays of the setting sun.
"Popo" Is a llttlo more than 1,000 feot
higher than his sister. Old Izzy, and his
form Is, perhaps, more majostlc.
Ixtacclhuatl Is called tho "White
Woman" because the top of the mountain
is shaped like the gigantic snowllko fig
ure of a woman who lies on her back
with her feet facing "Old Popo." As one
stands on the cathedral he can plainly
see the outlines of the head, with Its pro
truding eye, the swelling breasts covered
with snow and the rest of tho snow-clad
covering through which tho mighty kneos
and feet seem to peep. The mountuln Is
over 18,000 feet high, and the figure makes
one think of a giantess lying on a mighty
bed and covered with white.
A Love Story of the (JimIi..
According to tho Aztec tradition. In the
days of the beginning of things u mighty
god named Popocatapetl came to earth,
and there fell In love with one of the
prettiest of the Aztec maidens. The girl
had a perfect form, and her skin was as
white as the driven snow. "Old Popo"
made her his wife and took her to hoavon
to reign with him. She proved too hand.'
some, however, and soon all of the young
gods wero running after her.
At last "Old Popo" learned that she
had been unfaithful to him, and he
changed her Into this mountain. As
she turned to snow and lay dormant on
the top of the rocky mass of his creation,
ho gTcw remorseful. Ills heart froze with
regret and he asvumed the form that he
now has In the mountain of Poiwcatapetl.
At times he grows angry, and then he
spits forth, tha fir and brlmston that

come out of the volcano. The natives
say that the earthquakes aro his groans
and tho steam and sulphur fumes his
perpetual sighing.
Cllmbtiur Poporatapetl.
The ascent of Popocatapetl can be made
In about three days, at a cost of $25 or
30 In gold. One needs warm clothing,
Btrong shoes and several good guides.
You can ride on tho railroad to the foot
of the mountain, stopping at Amecameca,
a town of 11.000, which Is about a mile
and a half above the sea. Here you can
get your outfit and horses and by night
fall can reaoh, a rest house where you
may sleep. This Is TIamacas, at about
12.SO0 feet above the sea. You will find
It bitter cold about midnight and colder
still toward morning. You rise early and
at 7 a. m. are again upon horseback.
Two hours later you have gone, up 8,000
feet and aro at about .the altitude of
Tike's Peak or Fujiyama In Japan. Tour
breath is now thin. You debate the worth
of your thoughts nnd whether It will pay
to use the strength needed to utter them.
Your feet have grown heavy and you can
not walk fust.
The first part of your way Is through
looso shifting blnck sand, and tho latter
part is all Btiow. You are soon far up In
the clouds above tho rest of the world,
and If the day Is clear you have magnifi
cent "views of the valley of Mexico and
the great capital, which lies In a basin
surrounded by mountains. Higher still
nnd the "White Woman" lies below you,
nnd all around nro tho grent hills which
form the most striking features of the
Mexican plateau. Most of tho time you
nre In the clouds and now and then you
can see the clouds both above and below
you. They look llko live things and you
enn watch them crawling to your feet
nnd chasing each other from mountain
to mountain. Now they envelop you In
a mist and then pass onward and up
wnrd until they are lost In tho crater.
As you rise tho snow, which Is wet at
the start, grows harder nnd dryer, and
near tho top there aro pillars of Ico which
tear your hands ns you pull yourself
from rock to rock. Tho glaro hurts your
eyes and you drop us you stand at last
on tho edge of the crater at ono of the
topmost points on the roof of tho North
American continent.
In th l" rater.
If you are very venturesome you can
crawl down a short distance In tho crater
and peep over. The walls are stoop and
of black obsidian. You can see tho yel
low sulphur far down, and the gas rising
out of tho crevices In the floor. It Is
difficult to make pictures on account of
tho steam, and It Is dangerous to play
round the rim.
Going dowrj Popocutapei Is easy If you
havo the norve to take the toboggan
Bllde of your life. When the snow Is
smooth and hard this Is done seated on
a straw mat, and guided by an Indian,
who carries an alplne-stock and directs
your way through the rocks and cre
vasses. The Indian sits at tne front of
the mat and uses his stick as u brake.
You sit behind and grab the man around
tho waist It takes only a few minutes
to reach the snow line, and you go down
as far in one minute as you made In an
hour coming up.
In climbing lztacclhuatl you may rlda
a great part of the wuy. The timber line
Is at about 13.000 feet and the region of
eternal snow begins a little moro than
1,000 feet higher. You are In perpetual
snow at the summit, and as you tramp
over tho White Woman you find that
she Is really a mountain saddle more
than two milos In length, the outllnos of
the female figure being lost.

Mexico to Vera Cruz. Tho town lies on
tho slopo of the highest peak on our con
tinent, south of Alaska. This Is Mount
Orizaba, which is surpassed only bv
Mount McKinley.
Orizaba City Itself Is us high us the
top of the Alleghcnles, but It Is sur
rounded by coffee plantations, and the
thermometer there was ninety degrees In
the shade, while the hot, humid air was
that of the topics. The perspiration

Mount Orizaba la over 18,000 feet high
and It la harder to ascend than Popo
catapetl. The first men who ever reached
the top were some of our American
offloers during tho Mexican war, and the
next man who went up waa a French
man. Ha made the ascent in 1851 and
found on the peak a tattered American
flag floating from a staff In whloh was
cut the date, 184S. A few jraars later
this same FrenOhmon attempted a second
ascent and nearly lost his Ufa while do
lag BO.
The present starting point for Mount
Orizaba Is a little rillare at the snow
line, and I am told that there are several
dry cavea on the way near tha trail,
where one can camp during tha ttlp.
The peak Is shaped like a gTeat anthill,
and an Iron cross now surmounts it.
Thore aro no avalanches and one may
take a mat and ride down Just as on
Popocatapetl.

In addition to these mountains Mexico
has many other volcanoes, the most of
them extinct, but some liable to break
out Into action. The region abojt Guada
lajara has been recently troubled with
earthquakes and many think t only a
question of time when that one of the
largest cities In Mexico, win dtnappenr.
The volcano of Collma, which Is moe
than two miles In height, 'a perpetually
active, and nearby Is a splendid volcanic
peak, EI Novado, which Is as tall as
Fujoyama and almost as beautiful. Co
llma Is frequently hidden by the dens
masses of steam which aro always Toll
ing" out of Its crater and at night this
steam Is colorfd with flames. The crater
Is almost circular and It has a diameter
of about one-third of a mile. It Is m re
than 100 feet deep.
Mount Collma has hnd many cruptlms
and a half dozen vlolont ones within the
last three centuries. Its eruptions nio
usually accompanied by earthquakes,
when It throws out ashes which cover
the sky for many miles, flying as far '.s
Guadalajara. Zacatecas and San f.uls

One of the queerest volcanoes of Mex
ico Is Mount Jorullo, which Is still steam

farming district which was once as flat
ns a floor. Then all at onco then was
a rumbling of the earth nnd In the midst
of a great estate of Indigo and sugar a
volcano arose In tho form of n great
bladder to a height of 1,700 feet. It thn

Clouds of steam ascended nnd aU The
country about was covered with r-cks
