LETTER FROM w. D. ALEXANDER.
HoNoLULU, December lst, 1894.

ID
General Manager O. r. & L. Co.
Honolulu.
DEAR SIR 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 Waikele
The land in question slopes gently towards the sea-
being divided into nearly equal portions by the Wakee
forming broad level site we'll adapted for central
mill.
The quality of the soil to all appearance identical
with that of the Eva plantation, and this opinion
confirmed by the chemical analyses of it which have
been made. Between Hoaeae and Waawa there is land
enough for rstclass plantation even below the line
of the 400 it. level.
In regard to the available water supply the magnif
cent Wapahu spring, which has not varied perceptbly
during the last twenty years would almost render its
owners independent of any other According to
the measurements made by your engineers pours out
water enough to irrigate 5000 acres.
The Eva artesan water reservoir is evidently distinct
from that of the Honolulu district as the water in its
limits stands at lower elevation than it does in the
Honolulu wells 1t is most likely that Moanaua valley
and its crater 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 and
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,

L.
Honolulu
DEAR SIR AS to the character of the 10000 acres of
land which it is proposed to for the new sugar plan
taton 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 as most promising to
become the future home of agricultursts who should
raise crops from the copous rains of the winter
The tract averages probably thirty inches of rain per
annum leaving twohirs to be supplied by irrigation
This must be twice the rain enjoyed by EVA Plantation
Hence cost of pumping to the same 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 acres Besides this as
much more could probably be drawn from artesian
wells flowing thirty or more feet above sea level
Could this enormous water supply be united to the
splendid lands adjacent the result would be magni-
fcent development of values l am not competent tn
express any judgment to the feasibility of lifting
this water to the upper levels proposed Actual expert
of the cost of pumping at Eva Plantation appear
very strongly to favor your plans.
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 use during the six rainy
months.
Truly yours,
SERENo E. BIsHoP

PUMPING MACHINERY.

The amount of water and the height it has to be
lifted being considerable, it becomes absolutely neces
sary that only very large steam pumps of the most
approved designs and construction be used in order
to obtain very high degree of economy With tn the
purpose of rigating cane land different degrees of
efficiency are obtained Having the data of the more
important of these machines, very valuable points
may be obtained for purchasing and erecting new
plant of this nature.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1895-01-04

In the above figures you will see that have allowed
liberal amount for wages those of superintendent
will decrease if stations for than 1000 acres are
erected as one superintendent can look after two
stations easily.
The actual horsepower to lift the water for 1000
acres 4lO feet high, is 1470 have taken 1900 and
allowed three pounds coal per horsepower per hour
In submitting this report to you feel confident that
the actual consumption of coal will be from twenty to
twenty-five per cent less than given here if the right
kind of machinery is used.
am, yours very respectfully,
