LAKE CHARLES—New Orleans, 219 Miles. Here are large rice and saw mills. A branch of the Kansas City Southern Railwayleads northerly from Lake Charles to De Quincey and Louisiana Western and St. Louis,Watkins and Gulf Railways. SULPHUR—New Orleans, 229 Miles. For years it was known a sulphur bed existed here, and many efforts were fruitlesslymade to reach it—failing, all of them, because of superimposed quicksand. The minesremained idle for a number of years, and their development was finally undertaken suc-cessfully by means of forcing superheated steam into the solid sulphur deposit throughiron pipes, and then withdrawing the fluid mineral into great wooden vats where it oncemore solidifies. The average daily shipment is fifteen cars. SABINE RIVER—New Orleans, 250 Miles. _ This historic river, from its mouth in Sabine Lake, at Gulf of Mexico, to a point con-tiguous to Logansport, a short distance southerly from Shreveport, is the boundary linebetween Louisiana and Texas. 26 L
