BIG COAL DEAL
Up CANADA?

DR.. BhPinh0'd HOPPE. Of Oakland.
Ca. j. declared TO he associa'ed viii.
y. =. Il IS"nbcr" CT hi. cItN in mon
otcr coal min" deal in CauaIa, Of whi' h
vague TuImpr5 nave cone TO Hawaii
from time to time. The san Fran
cisco Call Of January Is contains the
i following.
The chan"e discovery and aCquiSi-
/ ton Of 2N.l50 acres in Western Alder
ia, Canada, comprising the richest coal
deposits in the world. and the proposed
formation of a developing company
which will have at least $50, 900 900
Capitalization, was announced last
evening Ivy Dr. ReinhOld Hoppe on his
return from Canada to his home at
Z717 Twenty-fifth avenue, Oakland.
Doctor Hoppe is associated with Paul
K. lsenberg, the Honolulu millionaire.
The new company. which 1t is be-
iieved will be a dominating factor in
the worlds fuel markets, wiifS be the
outcome OF "rOughing it" trip Doctor
Hoppe undertook on a long deferred
vacation last spring. More than 20
years old, the physician felt fatigued
by his years of practice, and went to
western Canada on a trip OF recupera-
ton.
While in the rapidly developing
country he heard many vague reports
Of the great coal deposits in the inter
ior, reports circulated by Indians and
trappers who had traverseG the coun-
try in search of pelts. Refreshed by
his short period of leisure, Doctor Hop
pc obtained pack mule, dOnned min
er's clothes and started on tour of
the country east Of the Rocky noun
tains and north of the Grand Trunk S
continental line.
The reports were true. Great out
groupings of coal seams were evident
over a wide area. Doctor Hoppe OBJ
tanned many samples.
Tests showed that the coal was hard
and of high quality, such as is de-
manded for stSam purposes. 1t is said
to rival the the product of the best
mines in the east.
Doctor Hoppe got leases on II claims
of 1850 acres each.
w. D. O'Brien, the San Francisco
engineer, has been employed as con-
sulting engineer for the new enter
prise. A corps of 20 engineers is as
sisting him, including John MacViear
or Edmonton. MacVicar supplemented
the survey of a railroad to connect
with the Grand Trunk, and a noun
tain trail already has been constructed
from Hinton, a station on the Grand
Trunk, to the junction Of the Smoky
and Muskeg rivers.
Much of the coal is on the surface
and can be transported to the railroad
by gravity. The plans of the company
include building a private railroad if
necessary. I'LL ss@

HAWAII AFTER
IMPROVED
ROADS

HIIO. January H. Particular mite
est is being shown l. the new S"nmn
istration with regard 10 roa1 ana.r&.
and every indication points that toe
rvnning Of the road department VII be
improved considerably.
The overhauling Of the Coun'v
stables was. one of the first jobs WHICH
v as undertaken by Road Supervisor
ice Nierra, and he was little pleased
with the conditions which he fou1d to
cyist there. Private wagons occupied
the vehicle sheds while the county
COnveyanCes stood out; ide exposed &c
the rain and wind. The first tnIng he
did was to have the private wagons
rur out and the county wagons put
inside in first place. A lot Of seeming,
~ worthless junk was found piled in
the stables, and number of articles,
iIcluding an automobile engine and a
couple of automobile seats were
bought by the county at autcion. Ac-
coTding to Chairman Ewaliko, this
sort of thing will be done away with
ia the future. All the buying for the
road department for the north and
south Hilo districts will be done by
Road Clerk Pacheco, who will also
keep track of all goods sold by the
department.
A system of bookkeeping will be in
augurated whereby the cost of every
piece of road work will be kept, how
E.uch has been spent for labor and
material. etc. Every quarter the fig
ures will be tabulated in a statement
which will show just how much work
mas been done on each road and how
much it has cost. In this way the tax
payers will be able to learn just where
their money has gone. At the next
meeting of the board a resolution will
he introduced providing for the ap-
l'ointmeut of county Improvement
,mmittee which will be made up OF
citizens who take an interest in the
Improvement of Hilo. The department
is anxious to work with the coopera-
ton of the citizens and Chairman
kiwaliko is now taking up the matte:
of securing suitable members for the
committee

RUSSIAN SUGAR
CROP SHORTAGE

In its issue of December 26, Wfllett
& Gray's Journal states the world
visible supply OF sugar as 3,220,560
tons, which Is an increase Of zoe, SAG
tons over last year at the same time.
In their review Of the raw sugar mar
ket, Wilfett & Gray say in part: ~.
Quotations remain unchanged for
the week at 3.92c. per ID. for So deg.
test centrifugals, Transactions have
been light, the only demand of i'm
portance has been for prompt ship
r:ents, which are offered very spar
ingly at current quotations of 3.92c.
basis, duty paid.
January shipments are slightly easier
with sellers at 1920. per lb. c. & f.
81 .585c.). Later shipments are q little
uncertain Of exact values on which
business would result. England has
made another purchase of Cuba Gen.
trifugals, for February shipments, at
basis of 2.00c. per h. f. o. b. Cuba.
Europe holds remarkably steady from
week to week, the close before the
holidays being 9s. Cd. for December
and January and 9s. Md. for future
OF May delivery.
A new estimate by Factories" OF
the European beet crop gives 6,S01 ,O6''
tons for all Europe, except Russia, and
for Russia gives the production to
N.;te 1881 900 tons, against 1,183,O00
tons produced to November 18th.
The significance of the Russian de-
ficiency lies in the fact that Russia
las heretofore been a persistent peti-
toner for permission to increase her
exports to European countries. The
indications now point to a restriction
of exports instead of an increase,
which latter is rendered impracticable
by Russia's short crop, not yet fully
stated, as some factories are still
working.
The Cuba crop outturn Is increasing
rapidly with Ga centrals working up to
Tuesday and $4,000 tons weekly re-
Ce;pts for island. The weather was not
altogether favorable in some parts.
Tariff discussions will become a
prominent feature with the incoming
year.
1t is now evident that the coming
week. which marks the close of the
year, will show the smallest stock OF
foreign sugar on hand of any recent
year, and the largest stock Of dOmes-
tic beet sugar ever carried over into
the new year.

rubbing salt upon the end Of the stick.
Now II Sc. many purposes can be
accomplished by the use of this rod,
how can one be sure that it will point
to water, in case some more attractive
object Is present? For instance, sup
pose the rod is near a mineral vein,
how can the operator decide whether
the dipping is on account of water or
the mineral? And before starting out
should he not be sure that no crini-
nal or immoral person is present in
the party accompanying?
