Some Large Rubber Profits
tFrom India Rubber wor,d', Oct ,9o7)

1t is no longer necessary to
argue that rubber can be pro-
duced on plantations, any more
than in the case of rice or tea or
cotton. Nor is it any longer a
question whether it can be pro-
duced profitably. 1t is not by
way of argument, therefore, that
we refer here to some details
from the latest report of the
Vallambrosa estate which appear
on another page. Our reason for
selecting this company for spec
ial remark is both on account of
the extent of the plantation and
the fact that it is purely a rubber
proposition, whereas the accounts
of many of the other rubber pro-
ducing companies in the Far East
relate to other products as well
as rubber.
Briefly, the history of the COM
pany is this: Early in 1904 the
owners of three neighboring es-
tates in the Federated Malay
States, or their representatives,

got together in Edinburgh and
formed a company for the ANAL
pamation of their interests;
Some rubber had been planted
during 1898 and the succeeding
wears, and the company planned
to plant a lot more rubber. The
new company issued shares OF
the par value in American money
of S21S, 992. so, which they divid-
ed among themselves, while they
allowed others to subscribe for
S27, ,252. 40 in shares, making a
total issue of $246, 244. 80, which
is the amount of capital stock
now outstanding.
From the date mentioned the
work of the company was that
of development and additional
planting. When the company
was two years old-by which
time the oldest rubber trees were
six years old-it had marketed
80, 113 pounds of rubber. with
the result that the profit and loss
account had credit of $23, 598. 60.
No dividend was declared, how
ever.

her for S195, 900. 96 at a profit OF
81 per pound, gold, estimated by
deducting from the cash proceeds
the cost of tapping the trees, CO
apulating, packing and transpor-
tation. The average yield per
tree, from six to eight years IN
age, was about one pound. But
meanwhile much additional plant,
ing had been done and this and
the whole cost of the upkeep had
been charged to revenue, so that
the company figured its net profit
at only $l47, 1866. rs. After a lib
eral allowance for directors fees
and a handsome carry over. to
the next years account, the div
idend declared for the year was
$50 on the capital stock issued,
or a total of $135, 4S9. 70. The net
results from the rubber marketed
would have yielded a dividend OF
631s Gs on the total capital. Is it
any wonder that shares have
changed hands recently in Lon
don at 9ss times their par value

While no other rubber planting
company thus far has made such
a favorable showing, it must be
noted that no other rubber plan

SUMMIT OF MOUNT BAKER.
A Freak Among Freaks Il the Great
rahlsland.

There is no evidence of recent ac-
tivity of this volcano, NOR are there
any alarming Indications that it will
ever be active again, says Forest
and Stream. True, there are live
vents on the sides of the cone where
the vapors and sulphur are contin-
ually emitted, where the lava is still
hot and steam jets issue with rum
bling and violence, but the SHOWS
Of recurring seasons have blanketed
it for centuries, as if to smother out
the internal fires, and it can hardly
be considered now more than the
lingering of heat which once warm
ed the surrounding regions to
fluorescence, the base of the noun
tain to bright red, and where it is
now buried under mantle of per-
petual snow its summit once shone
With a luminous glare whittier than
the electric arc. But the. freak
among freaks in this interesting
region is the tableland already re-
ferred to.
1t rose in its magnifcence and
grandeur from the bowels of the
earth as did Mount Baker, of which
it is simply part and parcel. It
probably rose to its present emf
nence above its surroundings and
especially out of its immediate bed
Of porphyry somewhat later after it
had cooled enough to hold its shape
by renewed pressure directly under
it, showing it up like cork out of a
bottle.
The writer was strongly inclined
to take the plug clear out and look
inside to see exactly what was the
cause of it. There is much evidence
that the secondary uplift came at q
much later day than the volcanic
eruption or eruptions which pro-
duced the main features Of this dis
trict, the most important Of these
evidences being the fact that the
disintegration about the vertical
walls Of this tableland is very much
less than about the sides Of any 9th
er cliffs around, Irrespective OF
height, position or material to be
eroded.
The walls Of it are crumbling
away and accumulating about the
base in rock slides, somewhat faster
on the sunny sides. II it we're pos
ible to count the annual layers Of
rock on these slides, which have
faxed off the walls above by the ac-
ton of the summer sun and frosts
Of winter, like the age Of trees by
the rings of growth, it would be
easy to determine when Mazapa
dome last made a move to rival
Coleman peak or get in better view
Of the parent cone.
