From the records of wells drilled in this district the underground 
contours appear to resemble those at Spindletop, and the structure 
may be considered as a flattened dome, sloping somewhat gently from 
the crest toward the south and more abruptly toward the northwest. 
So far as developments have gone the sulphur has been proved to 
cover an area of approximately 30 acres, though its limits are not fully 
determined. 
The American Sulphur Company owns the lands for several miles 
around these mines, and no prospecting has been done in this vicinity
