WATER SUPPLY.
The managers report brings out the
fact that the water tunneling system Is
completed with 1852 feet of tunnels and
$40 feet of shafts. The capacity of the
waterhead flume Is $4,000, 900 gallons In
twenty-four hours, providing ample
water for all mill purposes, for domestic
use over the whole plantation and to
operate three fumes at once to the
mill, frequently delivering more cane
than can be handled, in which case the
cane is turned into cars and unloaded
onto the carrier later by cane I'M
loading machine.
In addition to fully supplying the
plantation a considerable surplus has
been furnished to Kaumana cane grow
ers with which to fiume cane to the
Hlo Sugar Company's mill.
FLUME SYSTEM
The flume system at and below the
1850 foot level with five main fumes
concentrating at the mill. and interme-
diate feeder fumes, is now practically
completed, with total length of 56.2
miles.
About two and a half miles of addi-
tional fumes will be required to con-
meet up the local Olaa reservoir system
with the present flume system, with
which to take off the cane lying above
the present fumes and below the reser-
voirs. This will probably not be re-
quired until next year.
LABOR.
The manager states: while there is
no surplus of labor, we are fairly we'll
supplied, and the men are working
steadier and better than they were
year ago. The cessation Of clearing
new lands. for the present. has enabled
me to reduce the number of employees
by approximately $50 men,"
The present number of employees is
1924, against Pass last year.
