The officials did everything they could

much of the output comes from placer
mines. There is q tract of river flats
upon which the gold is washed down from
the adjacent hills. Some New Zealand
ers are getting this gold out with dredges.
and others now bringing in dredges
to take up and wash out the soil. Quartz
powders are sometimes found at the bot
tom. and some of the best dirt averages
over 81 per cubic yard. The gold is

before. l thus had chance to see the

were all slave dealers, slave holders or
slaves. Many had been pirates, not few
were murderers and all had low state
Of civilization. An internecine war was
going on among them, and 1t took us
several years to subdue the various
tribes. Here is the news that comes from
that section today:
The Moros are. gradually engaging in
different kinds of gainful occupations
Along the coasts they dry fish for sale
Farther inland they are raising cattle and
horses. In some places they have little
FARMS and in the wilds they gather such
things as wax, bark and nuts demanded
by trade. They are making some copra
and they are also doing large business
in pearl shells and other such things.
The pearl industry now employs about
thirty schooners, and there are buyers
from Paris ready to take the pearls as
fast as they are found. The divers are
Japanese and natives.
:.
The Moros are also fishing for sponges
In some places they weave mats and in
others make excellent cloth. On the Is
land of JOlo the government is teaching
them how to improve their herds of cat
tie and horses. and about Lake Lanao
it is telling them how to make more out
of their farms. The people are coming to
trust Americans. They protest against
their government being given over to
the Filipinos, and say they prefer to be
ruled by Uncle Sam under their sultans
and dattos. This is the situation today.
