the acre. gives the mill sugar output of 94OO
tons. II Is the aim OF the company, through
its manager, to have from lz1U to 1900
acres OF plant cane for the crop of 1903,
which is now plowed and planted. In ad.
dition to the above there will be large
area of rattoOns.
Cane planted in several fields ranging
from August to September, 1900, shows a
remarkable growth and will form a part of
the 1902 crop. At the present time there
has been constructed on the plantation nine
miles OF railroad track having a 3O-inch
gauge and laid with 3O-pound steel rails
and well ballasted, which is carrying the
1902 crop with 800 cane cars, to be in.
creased later In the season. Two
Baldwin engines perform the labor of trans
porting the cars to the MILL Included in
the trackage IL about sixteen miles of port.

handle the cane direct on to the main track
ana thence to tie mill The traclage ex.
tends from Eleeie landing to laval gulch
above pumping station No. 2, with a branch
line along the Hanapepe gulch to pumping
station No. 3. There is one mile of roadbed
graded on to the extension of the East La.
wall gulch, which will require six miles OF
track to reach the Koloa cane lands There
are also three and half miles of track at
the mill yards. which include side tracks
and storage. The company also contem.
plates building a road from Eleele landing
stations for the purpose of supplying coal
for PUMPKINS and transporting the ripened
cane growing In the Hanapepe valley, which
will require about three miles of trackage.
At present the company has in use i've
sets Of Fowlers steam tackle which practi.
cally solves the question of reducing to q
minimum OF expense the cost o. preparing
the soil for planting. With one set Of these
tackles II Is possible to turn over to depth
OF from sixteen to twenty inches fully twelve
acres Of land In a day of ten hours.

company is raised sufficient cattle to sup

The company has now In operation a
"a 81 nine-roller mill which contains many
decidedly interesting features, and is what
is known as the A. b. Stillman mouern Gu
ban mill, the system being largely In use
throughout the sugar districts OF Cuba. The
three three-roner mill is driven by two Har-
ris-Corliss engines having a joint capacity
of $50 horsepower, while the hydraulic pres.
sure ON each tnree-roller mill is as follows:
No. ! mill, 300 tons; No. mill. $50
tons; No. MILL 400 tons. The
daily average capacity of the mill is 1000
tons of sugar cane, or from 1876 to $50 tons
Of raw sugar. varying of course according
to the fibre and sucrose content of the cane.
The steel structural work of the various
buildings was supplied and erected by Mil
liken Brothers Of New York.

an endless carrier while attached to the
mill are lie Chicago Link Belt Machinery
