The Cherr~' Valley Mine is an und er gr ou nd mine, th e "sulphur" being fo und in th e bottom of th e old pit which wa s form ed by the iron minin g of the past yea r s. ~'h e Moselle Mine is a lso an old iron min e but t he "sulphm'" is bein g min ed by open pit methods. Both operations use loca l labo r and r eso rt pri ma ril y to hand work ra t her t ha n to m achin er y.

The chief use of pyrite a nd marcasite is in mnkin g sulphuric a cid. This acid is perh aps best known to th e general public as bein g th e ac id in the common storage batter y as u sed in automobiles. It is a lso used , how e \'er , in makin g steel, paint, f ood stuffs, f ertilizer , tex til es, and a h ost of other products. The pyrite and marca site is crushed , gr o uud finely and burned, th e sulphur gnses thu s formecl bein g ca ught and cOl1\'crtecl into th e ac id mention ed above.
