Manila Hemp.

1t is worth noting in regard to the
famous hemp produced exclusively in
the Philippines that the plant yields, in
fact, two qualities, with important in
dustrial or commercial adaptations in
each case. From the best, or fibrous
outer leaf, comes the coarse, strong
fiber, which is the best material used
for sailcloths and cordage, it being par
ticularly recommended by the fact that
it is not easily rotted by salt water.
The fiber yielded by the inner stalks is
fine and weak, and from it are woven
textile fabrics superior in softness and
lightnesS to those made of the best
Russian hemp, these fabrics, however,
being seldom exported, as they are
bought by Chinese merchants at Ma
Mia for local consumption. 1t is found
that, under the best conditions, the Ma
Mia hemp produces the very large
quantity of 5000 pounds Of fiber to the
acre, and, though between 100000
and 100000 bales have been exported
in the last ten years, the industry is
admitted to be still in its infancy

Dia III Ond In n Volcano.

An interesting discovery from a geo
logical view point has recently been
made in the Witries Hook mountains,
in Natal On the summit of an extinct
volcano, near the edge of a lake, filling
the former crater, soundings have es-
tablished the presence of a sand layer
containing small diamonds. 1t would
be instructive to know whether these
diamonds were there accidentally or
whether the find is connected with q
diamond field, for the said mountains
are not situated in a district known to
be diamantiferous- Considering the
latter, supposition, the presence of pre-
cious stones in the crater of a volcano
will doubtless throw some light upon
the formation of precious stones in ma

Electric Railway Up Mont Blanc.
The successful application of cleo
tricity to SO many mountain railways
in Switzerland has lately given rise
to the discussion of an electric road to
the summit of Mont Blanc. The plan
provides for a tunnel to enter the
mountain just below ridge that ex-
tends along the side of the mountain,
avoiding in this way the glaciers which
do not pass over the ridge. The total
length of the line will be about six
miles, and it will run to a point about
800 feet below the actual summit,
which consists of a mass of ice. The
lower end will be constructed first, and
it is the intention to have the workmen
live in the tunnel and gradually become
accustomed to working at the higher
levels. Power to operate the railway
will be furnished by a waterfall in the
vicinity, and, as is the case with the
most recent Swiss mountain railways,
1t will be of the rack and pinion type,
electrically driven. The cost Of the
project is estimated at about $4,000

Special Correspondence cot the HERALD.
Increased prosperity in this part of
the country is confidently expected
during this year In all kinds of bust
ness. ..- ...-
Senator Andrews, of Pennsylvania,
made flying trip to his mines in the
Hillsboro district, paid off his en-
ployees and insured them happy holt
days.
The people are awakening to the
realization that all public lands may
soon be opened for leasing to stock
men, and that the country may be
monopolized by the larger stock COM
panies to the serious detriment of the
small ranchers. Such q state of af-
fairs would certainly be detrimental
to the whole country, as it would not
only shut out emigration, but probably
freeze out many of the small rauchmen
who have hard enough time of it to
make q living on unrestricted range
without having to pay rent on grazing
ground. It is question that should
be most thoroughly looked into by the
government, before 1t is acted upon.
We hope that statehood may soon be
realized, go that we may have our rep
resentatives at Washington to look
after our best interes te. It ia certain
ly more desirale to have q large num-
Der of small ranches, with numerous
population, than to have the country
gobbled up by few stock-raisine cor
porations, and only sparsely popu-
lated. ~
The outlook for q renewal of activi-
ty in mining in the Hillsboro district
is very encouraging. There are con-
stantly being added new facilities for
concentrating the large amount of low
grade ores that the camp produces,
and a smelter to be started there in q
few months.

TO MAKE GUAM A GIBRALTAR.
Preparations on Foot to Convert It Into Great
Naval Base.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, August 25.-The Navy De-
parstfnert has taken the initial Jteps
in the preparation for the complete and
comprehensive system of Notifications
and harbor improvements by which it is
intended to make the Island OF Guam a
thoroughly protected base for our naval
vessels in the Western Pacific The au-
thority for the preliminary work in this
line was granted under the act of June
6th CT this year in the appropriation for
river and harbor improvements.
The Navy Department has been at
pains TO ascertain just what harbor ia
cilities other nations have in this part
of the world. and the maps already pre-
pared showed that southwark from Guam
we are ianked for $500 miles by a chain
Of islands, containing 13 fine harbors, all
cf them potential bases of hostile powers;
some Of them are equipped and fortified.
In view of these facts, it has been de-
termined to make Guam a great naval
base, thoroughly equipped with supplies
for cur squadrons, and as nearly i'm
pregnable as possible against a hostile
fleet. A mixed commission of one army
and two naval officers has been assigned
to the work of the preliminary survey.

GREAT DAMAGE TO COTTON,
South Cardinals Crop May be Cut Forty Per
Cent By Dry Heat
(By the Associated Press,)

Atlanta Ca, August 25.-A special to-
the Constitution from Columbia, S. c.,
says:
South Carolina crops have suffered
disastrously from the present hot spell
combined with the drought. Recently
few local showers have fallen over very
limited areas, but otherwise there has
been no rain in August. Some farmers
estimate the cotton crop has been re-
duced forty per cent but only allowing
a loss of - per cent on an average yield
on the acreage planted the loss will be
600 bales or $4,000, 900. The loss on
other crops, sugar cane, late corn and
hay will make the total over 100000
Unless there are general rains within d
very few days the drought will become
disaster.
Cotton fields are as white as they are
generally late in September, but over
half the bolls that are showing the white
are unmatured, being burst open by the
heat. and the list is without value.
Many Of the plants are dying the leaves
drying and falling off and no more bios
SONS are coming. Nothing can save the
farmers from the loss already sustained,
but rains would start the plants to
blossoming again and late frosts would
permit the new bolls formed to mature.

there are said to be no official advices
