ASPHALT IS FOUND
IN THE PHILIPPINES
Discovery Likely to Have Influence
Upon Paving in the Cities
of the Far East.

The discovery of a vein of asphalt of
high quality and of large extent in the
Philippine Islands is likely to have a
marked influence upon the paving of
cities in the far East and upon other
lines of building and contracting work.
The vein has been discovered by a gov
ernment forester who took an outcrop
Of the vein on a hillside for coal. The
deposit lies in the Leyte province, barrio
of Campopoc, on the northwest peninsula
of the island about ten miles from the
ocean The vein discovered runs about
a yard and a half thick and can be
readily traced about $50 yards along the
side OF the hill, several thousand tons
of the material being actually in sight.
with indications that the deposit is Of
much greater scope. The analysis OF the
deposit made in Europe shows that It
is of a quality suitable for the highest
uses and ought to bring the highest
prices. The discoverers OF the vein are
already using the material for roofing
and similar purposes. Emanations of oily
nature in the country near the deposit
have been noticed for many years and
were supposed to indicate oil.
The successful application Of this Philip
pine asphalt to paving and similar work
to the Philippines and to other portions
of the East At present asphalt for paw
ing, roofing, and other purposes is i'm
ported from Europe and the United States
at high cost the result being not only
high-priced payements but a minimum of
material in construction OF
such pavement. l-
The supply Of asphalt in the far East
at present is coming largely from the
west coast Of the United States and the
trade Is increasing. Pavement grades of
asphalt at present in Hongkong cost
around $S5 gold per ton, other grades run
ming as high as SO gold per ton. deliv-
cred in Hongkong in either case In
little compressed asphalt has
been imported through the Crown agents
IN London. Tar macadam is the chief I
pavement employed at present, but gov
srnment engineers report that they ex-
peet TO employ more compressed asphalt
