PROPOSED
STEAMSHIPS
The Minton Plan for
a Irian guIar
Service.

w NJ Minton. since returning from
a sojou.,u of ten months in Southern
California. has been quietly but siren
uously agitating the business COM
| munity in behalf of triangular steam
ship line between Honolulu, San Pedro
and San Francisco.
From his knowledge of the tourist
situation in Southern California. gain
ed by his long intimacy with it upon
the ground, Mr. Minton is just the man
to revive the project in question which
, seems lately to have been given up
here as unpromising. Not only that
but Mr. Minton knows a sight about
ocean passenger carrying. He was not
an ocean steamship purser twenty
years for nothing
II am trying to organize steamship
line Mr.. Minton said to an Advertiser
reporter.
Mr. Morgan and Secretary Wood of
the Promotion Committee are very
much in favor of it, So is John A Nc
Candless.
1.-THE idea is that of a triangular line
between Honolulu. San Pedro and San
Francisco.
During the ten months that passed
in Southern California there was
large influx. of people, consisting most
ly of retired farmers, merchants and
professional men. They go there to
PASS the remainder of their lives i'll
comparative ease. The majority are
people of incomes ranging from $3.50 to
$500 a month. They want no active
business at all, only desiring to pass
their time in looking after their
grounds.
These people are pre-eminently
home seekers, the class that we want to
attract to Hawaii. After staying in
Southern California a few weeks or
months, as the case may be, they go
nack home and sell their properties
and return to make new homes for
tkeselves. For the same money they
can get much handsomer piece of
ground here. What we need is to get
them to visit Hawaii.
When one talks with these people
a bout the islands they show a keen de-
sire to know more about the country
and it's conditions of life. I believe I
we could easily fill steamer with $50
passengers every trip. 1 made two
trips in the Santa Rosa, one in winter
and one in summer. On the winter |
trip she had 100, and on the summer {
trip $50 passengers. They We're sleep
ing all over the ship any place they
conld get in. The fare is $3.50
MY idea is that on steamer line
of this sort, passengers could be car
ried from San Francisco in competf-
ton with the Pacific Coast Steamship
Co., and that passengers for Honolulu
would be taken on at San Pedro In
purchasing their tickets they would
know exactly how much it would cost
them and how long they could stay
here for according to the scheme
have in view there would be attached
10 each ticket a coupon with the price
Of hotel fare here for a week or ten
lays.
u show say $50 for the round trip
and s25 for a hotel coupon. which
would make their entire expenses in
S115 for the visit to the is
ands and return. Other incidentals
vould~be their own lookout.
THE steamer would leave San Fran
'isco about the first of every month.
from my conversations with members
# the Los Angeles Chamber of Com I
nerce, l believe that they would do !

Prior to 1898 the entire production
amounted to approximately $4,000.

In earnest. with the result that ~ the
succeeding ~ months over $40, 900
was taken out. In 1901 the sterling
value Of the gold mines was &C 49,.

the yield amounted to G3,O4A.275
($14,S14.96D.
For several years the probleyn Of n
water supply for the gold fields was
most difficult to solve, for in that ter.
rltory, about 400 miles from P1rth
the capital Of the state, there arA no
rivers, few natural supplies OF sur.
face water, and the rainfall is light.
The vital importance Of overcoming
this difficulty was recognized by the
state, and some idea Of the magnitude
of the undertaking maysF formed by
the cost OF the const7 ction which
amounted to over $l5,0OO.000 In 1896
the premier of the state obtained the
approval of the legislature to an ex.
pendlture OF $l2.5O0,OOO for the pro.
vision OF q supply Of 100000 gallons
of water q day. The work was cneT.
getlcally pushed and brought to a
successful completion In 1908.
Fully $4,000 men are engaged In
mining, and the wages paid are suffi-
ciently high to induce tirst-class min.
ers to remain permanently employed.
In the gold fields the value Of mining
machinery In use amounts to approx.
mately s2O,OOO,OOO. and there have
been erected about 1000 stamps.
These figures show conclusively the
splendid industry that has been built
up, and all conditions now point to a
continuance OF the prosperous condi'
