PHILIPPINE REPORT.

Following are interesting extracts
from the report by the Philippine com
mission. published a few days ago;
With the exception Of the disturb

orally prevailed throughout the archi.
pelago. and. On the whole, life and
property have been as safe rs In other
civilized countries, In many provinces
there Ii fully as much land under cul.
tiyalion as ever before. and In all of
them the only drawback to the full
cultivation Of all lands heretofore cub
tivated has been the lack Of cara
baos and other draft animals ON ac.
count OF the death III many from
rinderpest and other cattle diseases.
There was an increase In exports
over the preceding year OF ~. 129.7 3s,
There IL a falling off In the imports OF

More than et.O00.O00 less was expend.

and that the quality OF the former IL

The total output Of cigars In the

number consumed In the United
States. and the total number exported
to all countries was only one per cent.
The high-water production OF SUI

BINGHAM CON. SHELTER.
improvements Being Made That
Make Plant a Practically New One.

a Boston publication has the following,
concerning what is doing at the Bingham
consolidated company's works at Bling
ham Junction:
Bingham Consolidated has completed
the work Of alteration on two of its five
blast furnaces. These two furnaces have
been united. the space between them be-
ing built in to make one big furnace, and
their depth has been increased from four
feet TO eight feet. the feed floor having
been raised to accommodate the increase
in depth. Two more of its furnaces will
be consolidated in the same manner imme-
dlately, and the NTH furnace, after being
increased in depth. will be held as re-
serve furnace for use at any time when it
may be needed.
''Rhe company is now building a second
reVerberatOry furnace and Will proba bly,
build a third one. The work now under
way on the smelter. for which $50 coo was
the capacity of the plant nearly 80 per
cent, or from about 10000 to about 10000
tons Of ore per month. IT is anticipated
that these changes viii considerably re-
duce the operating costs and increase
the net savings Of values.
Recent Developments in the Bingham
cOmpany's mines have been favorable.
The extension of development work has
greatly increased the tonnage Of ore avail
able for immediate extraction. EXplora-
tory work in the Brooklyn propertv has
opened very large body Of high grade
lead ore. which carries about ounces of
silver to the ton.
Mr. HeinZe's management of the Bing-
ham Consolidated property. Is of the same
vigorous character that he displayed long
ago in Montana, and there is every reason
for the belief that he will have the COM
pGny on a dividend paying basis soon
after the first of next year

THREE LIVE MINES
IN MANHATTAN CAMP

There is no trio of properties i'm camp
whose high-grade tonnage Is being in
creased on ratio with the output from
the stray Dog, Indian Camp and Jumping

these claims will be consolida ted with
Crion No. 3, thereby forming one of the
most valuable mining estates in Nevada.

worked so successfully in the level above

dict that ore shipments will; be greatly
augmented before the close of She pres

velopments at the Stray Dog with more
than ordinary interest, and predict one
of the greatest gold strikes in the history
OF the camp when the ledge is tapped at
the 100 level.
