Gold In Abundance

The Philippines press agent is doing
good work. He has not yet half be-
gun to exploit the mineral richness of
the Islands but has said enough about
the forests to drive any ambitious
American boy TO go to our first col
ony and saw wood. If l were young it
would be Orange Island for mine, one
OF the Bashee group, about twenty
two miles long and six wide. Ayari-
cious Spain established a settlement
there in 1882 in order to procure the
gold which was washed down by the
mountain torrents. The natives, hav.
ing but little understanding of the
value of the metal, fashioned it into
a kind of wire for ornaments, and had
some means of judging OF its purity
by It's smell. The Bashee Islands are
fve in number-Orange, Monmouth,
Grafton Goats and Bashee. The group
is practically in the Chinese Sea-
New York Press.
