LETTER FROM sERENo E. BISHOP.
Honolulu, December 5th, 1894.

Mr. b. f. DLLNeHAM
General Manager O. r. d. L. Go.
Honolulu
DEAR SIR AS to the character of the 10000 of
land which it proposed to for the sugar plan
tation heartily testify that being quite familiar
with the tract consider the soil to belong to the best
class of land AS stated in your prospectus it is
perfectly clear and smooth, ready for the ploughs
have often regarded this land most promising to
become the future home of agrcultursts who should
raise crops from the copous rains of the winter
The tract averages probably thirty inches Of rain per
annum, leaving two thirds to be supplied by irrigation
This must be twice the rain enjoyed By Eva Plantation
Hence cost of pumping to the height would be
one-ffth less than at the latter place.
Your accessible water supply from springs at sea
level alone is ample for 5000 Besides this,
much more could probably be drawn from artesian
wells flowing thirty or more feet above level.
Could this enormous water supply be united to the
splendid lands adjacent the result would be magni
fcent development of values am not competent to
express any Judgment to the feasibility of lifting
this water to the upper levels proposed Actual expert
ence of the cost of pumping at Eva Plantation appear
very strongly to favor your plans.
l believe that very large addition of inexpensive
water supply for the higher levels saving much of the
pumping may be effected by saving and storing water
in the upper gulches for during the six rainy
months.
Truly yours,
SERENo E. BISHOP

LETTER FROM W. D. ALEXANDER.
Honolulu, December lst, 1894.
Mr.. B. F. DILLINGHAM,
General Manager O. r. d L. Go.
Honolulu.

Honolulu
DEAR SIR:-I do not think can add anything new
to the information which you already possess In regard
to the site of the projected plantation IN the Eva
district
The ground is quite familiar to me- as | assisted IN
the original survey of Pearl Lochs In 1873 and after
wards Surveyed Honolulu and part of Walkelee
The land in question slopes gently towards the sea-
being divided into nearly equal portions by the alkee
ravine which widens out above the Government road
forming broad level site we'll adapted for central
mill.
The quality of the soil to all appearance Is ident al
with that of the Eva plantation, and this opinion
confirmed by the chemical analyses OF 1T which have
been made Between Hoaeae and Waiawa there IS land
enough for irst-class plantation even below the line
of the 400 f. level.
In regard to the available water supply the magnl-
cent Wapahu spring, which has not varied perceptby
during the last twenty years. would almost render It's
owners Independent of any other According to
the made by your engineers pours out
water enough to irrigate 5000 acres.
The Eva arteSian water reservoir evidently dlStnct
from that of the Honolulu district the water In It's
limits stands at lower elevation than it does IN the
Honolulu wells 1t is most likely that Moanaua valley
and its craters form the boundary separating the TWO
basins 1t is certain that the wells In the Honolulu
district do not affect the water supply OF the EVA
district
To conclude, the land and water supply are ample
and can be depended upon The cost OF pumping ana
the supply of efficient and reliable aborers are ques-
tons which lie outside of my province and which you
are fully able to meet and dispose OF.
remain, yours truly,
