Island Correspondence.

tion situated at Nuelo is owned and conducted
by Judge Hart in a manner that not only ensures
q paying business, but also sets an example that,
if followed, would cause many balances on the
debtor side to change over. Here We meet with
the new scum-press of Otto's which, the Judge
assures US, saves him at least thirty dollars per
day In material that otherwise would go to waste
and be is loud in its praise in consequence.
His planters are Chinese and natives, who are
making money fast.
The next plantation, called Halawa Sugar
Company, the lands and buildings of which
belong to DIR. James Wight, but which are leased
now for a few years to DIR. Tisdale. We find
this plantation conducted in the best possible
manner; and appearances indicate that a lucra-
tive business is being done. The planters are
all foreigners. Butler aud Blaisdel planting
quite heavily as also are Thompson Brothers,
and r. II. Atkins. Most of the cane is sent to
this mill (as it is at Judge Hart's) by a fume,
this making the property much more valuable
than if it were carried by teams and heavy carts.
Messrs. Butlerand Blaisdel conduct their entire
business with a sharp look out for the dollars,
and have been very successful i'll their efforts.
Thompson & Brothers have probably more cane
growing than any of the other planters at the
mill. Their enterprise is under the manage
ulent y MI. NE uOhpSon, VIM, VIZ ShaAoS-
teristic energy of New Englanders, seems to be
just where is needed, exactly at the right time.
The outlook for this concern is looking exceed
ingly favorable, aud promising well.
Mr.. Atkins is the first planter for this mill,
having, from the commencement of its existence,
been one of its cane-growers. His cane is situated
partly on high and partly on low land. and is
looking fine. He also has the advantage of a
hume, and cannot help making money, because
he is one of the best planters in the kingdom.
Kohala plantation comes next on the road,
and, even to the passing stranger. the fine APP
pearance of thrift indicates that its manager,
Mr.. Chaplin, knows what to do, and how to do,
his business. We thought we had seen fine
cane before, but these fields surpass anything we
have ever seen when the extent is considered.
Mr.. Chaplin is genial and obliging and speaks
with great pride of the immense crop that he
will take off next year, saying that he will show
a larger number of tons to the acre than has ever
before been dreamed of; and it does certainly look
as though he will do it.
> Here also we find the Otto scum press, and Mr..
Chaplin says ne sa yes two dollars on every clari-
, fer which he would loose without it. He does
not hesitate to say that work cannot be done in
a skillful and saving manner without its use.
1t seems that, for some reason, less cane was
planted here three or four years ago than was
{ planted for the present crop which is therefore
above the average, but Mr.. Chaplin says he will
only be satisfied when the mill is kept running
! the whole year except when undergoing repairs.
y Star Mill Is situated about two miles from Ko-
i hala mill on the main road. 1t is large and well
. arranged with building facilities for doing a large
u business. Mr.. Ewert is manager and is qualified in
every respect, and possesses indomitable energy.
g A great amount of cane is brought some dis
lance by trains but we are told that, before
: before another crop is ready for milling there
q will be some cheaper way found to do it. Mr.
Vida is the principal planter as well as the
r largest owner in the mill. What fields of his
we have seen are of good promise and he er
poets a prosperous year. Mr.. E. c.. Bond, ii
} the next largest planter for this concern, and al
of his fields look splendidly as seen from thu
road. If good cane is an indication, then he
l. should be financially better off at the end of thu
year.
Union Mill is one of the oldest as it is one o
most prosperous of the district. Mr.. Renton
is the popular manager and it is unnecessary t.
say anything in his praise as the fourishinl
condition of the mill is sufficient evidence o
'S the very best management. Otto's scum pres
is used here with the same good results as a
the other mills. Mr.. James Wood, is probabl,
N the largest planter here and is beyond all dOub
l. one of the most prosperous in the section
When some planters have fallen behind wit
of larger yields, Mr.. Wood may be well proud O
i success. Mr.. George Holmes, also a larg
al planter for this mill, is a gentleman widel
IN known end esteemed for his whole heartednes
and generous hospitality. He is a good plante
lg and consequently reaping the reward of con
I'd slant attention to business. He as well as MI
c. Wood is a quarter owner in the mill. TIL
Kynnersley Brothers, are also planting for thi
e mill. but, as they have yet, to take off thei
" first crop, which they have ever planted
l. we know but little of them in this line but ca
say for their success that they are two of til
Il very best fellows in the country.
Id Mr.. Kinds mill is the next, and the last
H. present in this district, though, if the Reciprc
4. city Treaty continues, there will undoubtedly b
re more. This is managed by Mr.. Hind and his SO
IL John. TO say it is well managed would only /
to endorse what everyone acquainted with thos
b. gentlemen most assert. In no other way couI
they have gathered 80 much of this world
IF goods. They plant quite Il large acreage then
"A selves, and have quite a number Of co-operati,
planters as well. Mr.. Wood also figures here q
a very extensive planter, and manages the Bar
=, croft lands, which is also planted on shares.
