Racy News From the Capitol Regard
ing Sugar Stock.

Honolulu, Nov. 10.
Yesterday afternoon New York
reported over the cable an advance
of four points in raws, the quota
tion proceeding from 1856 to $50.
This rise would be gratifying and
under ordinary circumstances might
be encouraging; but keen observers
know that it is the merest furry,
ceused perhaps, by some large con-
Germ having to buy in pinch on
the open market. The next quota
tion may show a further slight adj
vance, or there may be drop
depending altogether upon emer-
gency buying in and around New
York, or the ability of manufacture
ers and dealers to get through the
holiday business without making
large purchases. The European
beet situation remains unchanged,
and Cuba will be able to deliver all
the sugar predicted for her.
SALES OF MAUI STOCKS.
During the week ending with to-
day, So shares of Pioneer have
been sold. OF these shares 10
changed hands last Thursday at
1884. 80, the total of the transaction
being S1S45. After that deal Pio-
neer continued to sag until yester-
day when IS shares sold at $50,
the total of this transaction being
S15, $50. At the present writing
Pioneer can easily be purchased at
$50, while holders are asking only
S1S3.5O.
In the meanwhile, conditions at
Pioneer remain very nearly perfect
and record crop for next year is
now pretty well assured.
HAWAIIAN COMMERCIAL.
During the week under review
$50 shares Hawaiian Commercial
sold, the total value being s23. 765.
These sales started at $3.50, but
the price dropped ON Saturday to
S34 and there it has stuck. Yes
terday 175 shares sold on the latter
basis. Hawaiian Commercial is now
$3.50 bid and S34.25 asked, the
lowest since the heavy slump about
two months ago.
OTHER MAUI STOCKS.
During the week 2000 Pioneer
six per cent bonds sold at s101 rs,
but there was absolutely no daily
ing in stocks. Paia and Haiku are
both offered at $50, with no takers.
Wailuku and Olowalu are again out
of the market.
STOCKS OTHER THAN MAUI.
Oahu stock has dropped a clean
three quarters since last report and
may now be easily had at S26. 1t
is now conceded that the prediction
of over month ago that Oahu
would drop to S24.2 % was not far
wrong, and indications now are that
S23.625 will be nearer the mark.
Eva is off half or more. A week
ago it was s2S.75 bid and s29. so;
today the figures are s2S.25 and
$3.50. Waialua as late as last
Wednesday was s100 bid and s1O2. :
80 asked; today it is 500 bid and
500 asked. Olaa and McBryde
are both down to 81 bid and s4. 80
asked, while Honokaa is to be had
around Sl3.375. Hutchinson look
ed up little as a result of the big
Kau ditch discussion and sold at
sl7, but is now offered at SIG on
an uninterested market.

A few years ago hunters and ex-
plorers rediscovered very ancient
mines in what is now known as Rho
desia, but then known as Matabele-
land, and inhabited by one of the
most savage and war-like races of
Africa. The mines were SO ancient
that native traditions gave no indi-
cation as to when the mines may
have been worked, and in the ruins
of Zimbabwe it is thought that the
mythical mines of the Queen Of She
ba had been discovered. These
mines : now producing heavily
and adding nearly SIS, 900 900 every
year to the worlds gold supply.
In the kingdom of Mysore. in In
dia, old mines have been found with
tremendous workings. These mines
are exceedingly ancient-so ancient,
indeed, that the oldest Hindu writ
lngs make no mention of what must
nave been very important mining op-
efations. Hindus were great chron.
iciers, and their archives extend back
1uf.ner than any other known writ

ings. with the possible exception OF
the Egyptians. 1t is probable, there.
fore, that these Indian mines were
worked between 5000 and 1000
years ago. These mines have been
actively exploited of recent years by
British companies. which are most
successful, and are among the larg-
est dividend-paying mining compan-
les in the worald.
OF course all these mines had a
beginning. They were possibly
found by some shepherd or hunter,
and in all probability we're developed
slowly by the %ancients, until they be-
came considerable mines. Yet thous-
ands of years after those seekers for
mineral have passed away. the veins
they discovered are still making his
tory.

the far-famed Miyajima, one of the
jeweled spots Of the wonderful inland
sea of Japan. a sea some 300 miles In
length and from 10 to 60 miles In width,
which all who have seen proclaim tho
most beautiful spot In the world. There
is also an exact reproduction of the
sacred temple Of kinkakuJi (Kyoto),
which few foreigners have ever seen in
actually and entrance to which by
foreigners was punished with death by
fortunes until a comparatively few years
back. -
There Is a Japanese tea-house by the
sea, showing a waiting room for guests
with every detail exactly reproduced.
The originals of these gardens were first
created 1000 years ago in prehistoric
Japan by Buddhist monks and it became
with them almost an occult science. They
essayed to express abstract ideas such
as chastity. faith, piety. calm, content,
etc.. and varied them according to the
character Of the owners. weather poets,
warriors, emperors, philosophers, etc. In
these ancient gardens of a rapidly dying,
If not already dead civilization-that of
old Japan-there are expressed both q
subtle understanding of some mood Of
nature ana some rare oriental conception
Of II mood OF the human heart.

this latter marvellous place 1t would be
difficult to exaggerate either its beauty.
or Its subtle essence of the Far East.
1t was designed in Toxic by a race Of
gardeners who for centuries have he
longed absolutely to the japanese I'm
perial family. The tiniest of pants, the
smallest bits of rock in this garden has
been chosen for its specific use.
The floating Islands are known as 1.-THE
Masters Isle" and THE Guests Isle,"
and the isle of the inland sea Is named
1.-The Windswept ISLE" and by some
curious mechanical continuance a verita-
BILE hurricane of wind seems to sweep
over the diminutive but perfect islands.
The little semi-circular bridges. the ar
bors Of cherry blossoms. the sacred
shrines are placed on miniature hill
tops. Then there are the torii and the
Nara lanterns, and each creation has its
symbolic meaning, and the whole gives
IN indescribuble sensation of the oriental
and the d~eep-lying soul Of ancient Japan.
This garden OF old Japan Is set within
a good-sized LAX having an Irregular
coast-linc and small plneclad islets are
scattered here and there after the famous
scenery of tho country of the Matsu-

HER NEW

She has no time for fancywork, her
thimble's laid away;
There's dust upon her violin, for she
has ceased to play;
She wastes 40 precious time at
bridge, her books unopened
lie.
She's given up the Drama club-she
did it with a sigh.
She does not go to shop in town, she
looks at hats no more;
She's wearing ancient gowns that
seemed all out of style be-
fore;
The glass at which she used to stand
so many hours a day
Reflects her face but seldom now.
and yet her heart is gay.
Her husband has not lost his all, she
is not CARRIED in black
Because a friend has sought that
bourne from which no friend
comes back,
No heavy lines of care have come to
mar her marble brow.
She daily has to sterilze the nursing
bottles now.

CHECKS UPON WESTERN
GROWTH.

A forecast of what the census will
show has been made by the census
bureau and from the information
thus impaired, it seems that the
Transmissouri region will lot show
any notable gain in population rela-
tive to the east and middle west. The
growth Of the country has been in a
large measure uniform, the east in
creasing as rapidly as the west, says
the Denver Republican.
In this connection it should be
noted hat the far west has failed to
secure some of the growth which
might have been looked for if it had
not been for a seemingly hostile pol
icy respecting acquisition of public
lands. Large areas of public land
have been included in national for
ests land settlers have found it diff
ficult to acquire homesteads within
their limits even where the land is
clearly agricultural and subject to
homestead entry.
Settlement in the far west wou1o
also have been more rapid if some of
the irrigation projects undertaken
by the reclamation service had beer
more expeditiously completed. Had
these projects been finished, settlers
being assured of an adequate sup
ply of water for irrigation, would
have located claims upon the land,
and they would be counted in the
census. But failure to complete the
projects in question has delayed set
Element, and the ~antagonism t. set
Element in the forest reserves has
had a tendency to make h~omeseekers
go to other parts of the United
States or to Canada.
1t may be expected that within the
next decade, very much more hand
land will be placed under irrigation
and thus be occupied by settlers. A
wiser and more liberal policy will
be enforced respecting settlement on
homesteads in forest reserves, and
thus in population the far west may
make a better showing relative to
the east than it did in the decade
Just passed.

But in addition to their gardens tho
Emperor of Japan has had his counselors
and mobiles spare no expense in setting
forth every detail Of Japanese life of the

hibits, of silk creation from the birth Of
of the Japanese silks.

But, of course. While japanese art, IN
dustry and history are shown here as
never before, yet the great aim of anus
ing the international public has been
looked after In an indispensable manner.
The last word in monstrous mechanical
devices for startling the sightseers has
surely been said in the formation of the
gigantic and grotesque fip-hap. 1t con-

its upper end cars capable Of holding 200
people. The 400 passengers are tossed far
up into the air by ~nigh-powered machin-

spread out in n great birds eye view.
The sensation of being tossed skyward in

MINES THOUSANDS OF YEARS
OLD WORKED WITH PROFIT

From the moment that the pros
pector throws the point OF lis pick
into the outcropping of a vein, work
will accumulate on that veia until
the end of time, says the Mining
World. This work will b.. done by
a long line of prospectors. The first
ten-foot hole sunk on a vein means
the commencement of a new enter
prise. 1t may be years, OF even gen.
erations, before the business Will be
remunerative, but broadly speaking,
the persistency of the miner will
never allow work to stop.
In the history of the world no min
ing district has ever been exhausted
with the possible exception If strict
" placer districts. In some old plac-
|er mining districts the deposits have
been Sc thoroughly exhausted that

For example, in the very early dawn
