facture Of Bessemer steel. The recently dis.
covered deposits equal or exceed those on Lake
Superior. and are of equal quality.
Tho geology and minoralogy Of the island
are yet but imporfectly known however.
Tit Government has never paid any atten-
lion TO such matters. Besides the vast iron
deposits there are known to be great deposits
OF copper. Before the last wal there were
two great copper mines operated proftably
even though the Government took half of all
the product as its share and paid nothing for
It. During that war these mines were flooded
and they have never been pumped out. There
are gold and silver. but In what quantities I
could not say. On many of my trips through
the island l have been invited by Cubans tn go
with them and they would show me where
there was gold. They havo brought sam oles
OF both ores to me. but something has always
happened that has prevented my accepting
the invitations.
In the province of Santiago there are Rrent
deposits of manganese ore. The little investi-
cation that has been made warrants the belief
that there are millions of t1ns OF IL. and tho

eminent monopoly. or agriculture, as I said,
the soil will produce almost anything that is
planted except wheat. Wheat has not been
successfully gro wn so far. Sugar cane and
tobacco are the two great staples that grow
there as they grow nowhere else on earth.
You can plant sugar cane there and cut it for
thirty or forty or fifty successive seasons
without replanting, and I have never heard of
that anywher else In the world. l have sugar
growing there, and the oldest inhabitants in
the noighborhood of the plantation cannot re-
member by whom II was planted. l have my
self cut crops from 1t for moro than thirty
years. 1t costs about $40 an acre In Cuba to
plant sug ir. That Is, the first years expense
from the time Of planting to the timc Of cut
ting 10 $40. and the average yield will be al
most so an acre. There are fields that will
Weld two and three times that much. That 10
the average for the whole island. and after
the first year the cost Ia but $40 an acre, and
1t may be a shade under that. In Louisiana
and In othor sugar-growins regions no crop is
looked for the first year. In Cuba you plant
and cut In one year. The soil everywhere is
peculiarly adapted to sugar. 1t is also pccu-
Harly adapted to tobacco. So with coffee. l
have drunk coffee In Cuba equal to the finest
In the world.
There is no gninsaying the richness and
fertility of tho soil Of the wonderful island.
