WHITE MEN I'm MINDANAO.
Recent story OF Race Existing on That
Island Is Disputed.

Recent Story OF Race Existing That
Island Is Disputed.
A story disputing the existence of a
race of white men on Mindanao island
is told by c. G. Stone, who was recent
ly member of the army engineering
corps in the Orient, and who returned
to San Francisco "a few days ago.
Stone was commissioned by Captain
Baldwin to make tour of the island
with the purpose, in part, of ascertain
ing the truth OF the reports that race
of people distinct from the typical
Moros inhabited the interior portions
OF Mindanao. Stone says his investi-
cation consumed considerable time
He acquired the dialects of several
tribes and was afforded unusual oppor-
tunities for Investigation.
Stone declares that the statement
made as to the existence of native white
men on the island is not founded on
facts. He met many persons whose
facial characteristics denoted Caucas-
ian ancestry, particularly in the mat
ter of complexion, when contrasted
with the Moro skin, but his inquiries
led to the development that these
lighter hned people were descended
from Castilians who had long ago set
tied on Mindanao and had married
native women.
No colonies of these people were
found at auy point and Stone noted
them at scattered places. All of them
had forgotten the faith of their for
bears ana were devout followers of
Mohammed.

GATHERING CRUDE
RUBBER.
GATHERING RUBBER FOR MAKING

In another column the enterprising
agency Tor the genuine "Snag- Proof Z"
footwear shows the method of gathering
rubber from the trees and some of the
methods OF curing it ready for shipment.
1t may not be generally known that
rubber is the sap from a tree, and that
when it is first taken from the tree that it
is as white as milk and of about the same
consistency.
The rubber is gathered in most tropical
countries and in most places where it is
grown white man cannot live so that it
Is gathered in wasteful ways by natives.
Merry often trees are cut down and des-
troyed simply to get the product for one
season, but the usual way is to take a
machette and cut the tree at different
points and in the cut insert cup made
OF clay or metal and having small tube,
and as the sap exudes it is carried through
these tubes to the cups, and these cups
are gathered up daily by the native in
earthen jars, and the milk is then coagu-
lated or thlckened and stick is twirled
IN the mass and turned over and over,
and in each revolution of the stick a
thin layer of rubber is deposited, until it
Is large ball or Bottle" as it is called.
This ball is then dried over low fire and
Is thoroughly smoked, and in this condi-
ton is bought by the merchants and sent
to the markets OF the world.
The average price for fine Para is from
30 cents to $l.l0 per pound.
Very often the crafty native puts in the
center of the ball his worn out axe or
convenient stone, and thus he sells the
Worthless material for the price OF rubber.
The best rubber is gathered in Brazil.
along the banks of the Amazon River, and
Is called Para rubber, and this grade is
Principally used in the manufacture of
the "Snag- Proof" footwear, and if you
VIII keep your eye on the column you
Will see pictured from week to week the
methods and the machinery used in the
