hunters. Then farmers and traders to
supply the gold hunters follow them
and finally the country fills up with a
population following varied pursuits.
This has been the history of our own
mountain states, and will be the history
of Mindanao. Although the population
in Mindanao is wariike, it is scanty.
There Is a virgin soil awaiting the
American settler. In other islands the
native population is 80 great that the
inducements for American agriculture
lists are not such as to attract any one
with ambition. The climate of Mind
anao, although it is in the southern
part of the archipelago, is cooler than
in Luzon. and It's rainfall is not so
friendly to Americans, and the first
settlers will have no trouble. AS the
country fills up with bold. resolute
gold hunters, that in itself will be an
army of occupation sufficient to hold in
awe the most daring of the natives.
at was the attraction of gold mines
that built up the Pacific states. If
the gold mines of Cebu and Mindanao
prove to be what is predicted the Phil
ippines will have large American
population within a generation. Gold
will carry them into the southern ISL
ands. An industrial population will
follow the argonauts. Merchants,
planters. exploiters. drawn by the Sc
curity that an American population in
part of the group will create, will flock
into the islands of the north, the ISL
ands where an American Industrial
population will probably never live, ow-
ing to native competition.
But gold is not the only tale Of the
mineral wealth of the Philippines.
There is an abundance Of copper, coal
and iron. The Spanish never explored
the group. They were jealous of letting
people Of other nations do it. With the
thorough exploration that will come
with the American occupation what re-
suits can we not predict if the promises
of the first little cursory examination
are at all ultilled?'-Chicago Chroni-

GOLD FINDS IN THE Philippines
Army Oficer Writes That There VIII
Be a KIondike Rush There.

Lieutenant l. A. Curtis. of the Twen-
,ty-seconda infantry writes as follows
from Manila, September S: If the
stories now coming into Manila are
true the Philippines will experience q
rush of gold miners such as not even
the Klondike has witnessed. Even
granting that the Philippine gold de-
posits are not SO rich as those of Alas
ka, there are many other factors that
tend to make the. rush greater. 10 pc
gin with, it is easier to reach the Phll-
ippine gold fields, Notwithstanding their
greater distance from the Estates In
the next place, there is no danger or
starvation, the price of provisions is
low and the miners can. if necessary,
live off the country. The tedious proc
ess of melting the earth, the long hours
of labor to get fuel for winter, all this
will be eliminated in the Philippines.
This week there has returned from
the island of Cebu, the long, narrow
island lying to the east of the Negroes,
some 400 miles south of Manila, pros
pector who has found indications that
Cebu is coming Ell Dorado. The ISL
and has not been pacified and the two
explorers took their lives in their
hands when they penetrated the island.
Under the circumstances they could not
conduct any very thorough inVestisa-
tions. But they found all the surface
indications of rich gold Helds. Iney
panned loose earth and obtained excel
lent results, showing that the bedrock
beneath was rich indeed Colors can
be found anywhere and all Of the
streams contain the black gold-bearing
sand. Placer mining can be conducted
probably, but it is in the lodes that the
miner will make his greatest fortune.
So far $50 and $40 have been panned
from the soil In single day, but the
bedrock is supposed to be much richer
than the soil.
cit has long been known that gold
existed in the streams of Mindanao,
the large island at the southern end Of
the archipelago, the second largest in
the group. Some Jesuit fathers follow
ed up these streams a great many
years ago. but the hostile tribes pre-
vented them from making any discov-
cries. Mindanao was never conquered
by the Spanish and was hardly under
nominal control until within the last 80
years. Beyond a few fortified towns
on the coast the Spanish had no hold
there. and consequently the mineral
possibilities of the island are only to
be guessed at. But the rivers are far
richer in gold than the Cebu streams.
This would indicate that the gold de-
posits in the interior are far richer.
Mindanao bids fair to be the first iel
and that will become the home of
Americans across the sea. New coun-
tries begin with a population of gold

Private Joseph Beyine of Company

Of this city, told an interesting story
about the Philippines while at lunch
yesterday. The waiter had just placed
a sirloin steak before him when De-
vine said:
We would have given all we owned
to have steak like this when we were
among the F'ilipinos, but we couldn't
get it at any price.
Did we get good grub? Well, it
was about the worst you could mag
inc. The beef had been in the ware
houses since 1866 and the boxes of

that every volunteer in the Philippines
spent his monthly pay of $3.50 FOR
grub, and then what did we get? The
restaurants We're filthy, the service was
bad and the provisions were simply
unfit to eat But still it was better
than the 1865 beef and 1869 bareback.
