Eastern Stories of Philippine Island
Mines Are characterized as

The effort being made to stampede
miners from this country to the Philip
pine islands is likely to fall fiat. Re-
Gently some of the New York papers
have contained glowing accounts of the
alleged mineral resources of the islands,,
but the following from the islands
would indicate that somebody has BEEN
given an untruthful story.
Manila, May 14.-Long articles which
have recently appeared i'm New York
under the titles of Mining In the Philro
ippines' are condemned by local minerss
as gross exaggerations. Captain Burritt4
chief of the mining bureau, says:a
mines are described which do not exist,
The presence of coal in Batangas is pure
ly imaginative, The shipment of sixty
tons of copper is a ridiculous statements.
There Is no developed mine in the archiat
pelago today. The mining industry Is ca
pable of great development, but there's
is no Ell Dorado here. 1t is not a ques-
ton of the presence of these commodities
just now, but of ways and means of
working them and transporting the pro-
ducts" Professor Worcester of the
Philippine commission also characterizes
the statements as gross exaggerations.

the surface indications probably will Ii /
be until from 100 to 200 feet of cross
cutting is done.
While the general average of the ore
from present development can only be
given at an average of SIS per ton, tht
rich pockets which occur in the ore body
may put up the value of the mine at a
much higher figure with further develop
ment. The bottom of the shaft is in
wonderfully rich streak of ore, viii h,
sampled in the usual way for fair waltz
alton, gave returns of 1868 ounces in
gold. The gold is of a high fineness and
If the streak should hold it's value with
further exploitation the ore in that pa,-
of the workings could be estimated as
being worth nearly $4,000 per ton.
Pockets like this, however, are fr.-
quently found through the present work
lngs, SO no one can really form an idea
of what the mine will do when deeper
openings are made.
Il The original locators sold the property
for the paltry sum of $3.50, and $1,000 W IS
afterward paid to clear the title. This
is all the money that they received for

millions when it is opened up. The own
