feet in from the portal another sample was taken -value $13.60. A small test pit was made 4 feet into the north wall of tho open cut adjacent to the portal, and a small stringer was encountered which assayen $7.20. Sixteen feet in from the portal there are three converging stringers on the face of the tunnel. These stringers are very irregular and their exact strike and dip could not be determined. Ho .... ever, they appeared to radiate from a central point below the floor of the tunnel, find it is believed that by sinking a small test shaft at this point that the source of these stringers may be found. Two samples were taken from t hese stringers on the face 16 feet from the portal which had a value of $1.20 and $0.80 respectively. The wal! rock material to these stringers is a coarse, highly altered andesitic porhyry and explosive are requireci:, as it was very difficult to moil or pick the material encountered during the last part of the month. Job No. 18 From January 2nd to 8th the shaft was sunk a distance of 8% feet. On January 8th, the job was stopped. The small stringers became more decomposed and narrowed as the shaft went down. As the assay results of samp~es taken from the stringer were not encouraging, it was decided that further prospecting work on the site of the Job was not advisable. The shaft was sunk 26 feet. The small force of men now working on this job are engageci' in moving the blacksmith shop and other minor improvements. Job No. 19-Construction No.8 was completed during the month. This is a corrugated iron bodega 11' x 8' x 8'. A sma ll dock was built at the motor boat landing. The ground between the dock and bodega was surfaced with gravel. TRAIL CONSTRUCTION

234 meters of new trail was built from Job No. S to Job No. 20. Three bridges and 50' meters of trail were built across the mouth of Kuling Creek thereby shortening the main Nipa.Nipa trail by 150 meters. 402 meters of 1st class graded trail was built from Job No.2 to Job No. 22, and the right of way for an aci'ditionaJ 205 meters of trail has been cleared from Job No. 22 to Job No. 2J '. A bridge

15 meters long was built across the creek on the trail between job No. 2. and job No. 2l. Job No. 20 This job was started on January 2nd after Prospector Hidalgo had traced float to a stringer on the top of a ridge in the northern part of claim "Titang". The stri nger vein, which varied !rcm 2 to 7 inches in width, was exposed by a trench 30 feet long, 4 feet wide, and from 5 to 7 feet deep. The stringer narrowed in depth. Several samples were taken, but all assayed "Trace." The job was stopped on January 16th after it was decided that further exposure of the stringer was not advisable. Job No. 21 This job was started on January 9th after Prospector Fajardo in Group No.2 had discovered an outcrop of ~ilic i fied andesite on the edge of thc swamp 175 meter SSE of the NW corner of "XX" claim. Preliminary trenching revealed that the outcrop was meroly a large boulder. Two more trenches were started up the slope, anci' more ande路 site was found with intruded ribbons of quartz. An open ~ut was finaily made on -a vein about 11 inches wide with an oxidized iron content as exposed. The vein. strikes N70E., dips 70 degrees SF. Samples taken so far have all assayed "Trace". Job No. 22 This job is situated in the south central part of "XX" claim 110 meters east of the wcstern s urvey line at the point it passes the abandoned house of L. Bamba. It was slarted after Prospector Fajar. 0'0 traced float to an outcrop of very much decom路 posed quartz. There are many sma lI angula r inclu路 sion of clay in the quartz. The vein varies from 20 to 30 inches in width and is of a very laminated structure. There are sheets or pockets of yellow clay intruded betwecn layers of quartz. The vein s triked N35E , and dips 70 degrees SE. The vein has been exposed by a trench for a distance of 30 feet. A shaft is bein~ sunk on the east side of the outcrop in order to cut the vein at a depth. Are路 presentati,'e samnle taken across the vein, width 23 inches, assayed sa.so. FIELD PROSPECTING AND EXPLORATlON

Further exploration and prcspectinse of the Homestake claims was vigorously carried on by two well organized groups of prospectors under the direction of 'experienced hood prospectors.


PHILIPPINES The foIlowing is a report written by A. Hidalgo, summarizing the prospecting operations of Group No. 1 during the month of January. "During the first half of January, Group No.1 prospected on the northwestern half of the pro路 perty. The following claims were explored and the discoveries made in them were ns follows: "Inio"-two samples---one from stringer vein exposed by an open cut, the other from a big float. Coarse colors were panned from the creek of this region. "Titang"-the job 20, a stringer vein. Slight colors were seen from the creek. "Ramon"-in this place it is believed that exploration was once extensive as there are sixteen shafts and test pits and two long tunnels found. A soiod float ~ample wa'S taken here, but its origin was not located due to the confusing conditions of the surface, such as the "old workings," scattered floats, buried plates, jars, etc., and the heavy fault. In some three of the deep covered shafts, similar kind of quartz were found at their mouths, Small stringers were also seen in some of them. "AD-small floats with loosr rocks were found in the vicinity of old panning ho~es of Small Tayao Creek. "AB"-two trenches and an open cut were made to expose outcrops. Stringers of 4 to 5 inches thiek were seen in Big Tayao Creek. "Juan"-narrow stringers of quartz were only seen here. "Kiko", "Kid", "Beho", "AN", "SL", and "AT" - no samples taken.

"Bobby", "A,E ", found nor

OUtcl'OPS

With the rest of the half of January, Group No. 1 continued prospecting on the southeastern half of the property. beginning fl'om the south. "Pop"-a float sample was taken. "Caco"---colors could be panned from the creek, a branch of Matanglang Creek, A four inch stringer vein was exposed by shallow trenching and sampled. "AR"-floats were also found here, Of the rest of the claims in this distrlct, no colors, outcrops, or floats were found. In tbe upstream of tbe Tigbi River south of the boundary colors of fine ones could be panned.

227

Group No.2 under the o.'irection of N. Fajardo confined their activities almost entirely to tbe claims along the northern boundary of the western half of the western half the property. Many old working~ such as sha拢ts, tunnels, test pits, and trenches were discovered, also many favorable float. The "Old Workings" were explored when. ever possible. Stringers were found in some of them, Jobs No. 21 and No. 22 were started ns are. suit of the prospecting discoverie!'. of Group 1';0. 2. The following is a report written. by N. Fajardo summarizing the activities o! Group No.2 dur. ing the month of January. "The first half of January Group No.2 prospected the northwestern bouno'ary claims of the Homestake property. The following claims were explor ed and discoveries in them were as follows: "Landod' few and smal! float can be found, some very small stringers caD' be located. Panned different creeks but got 110 colors. "AL" was explored and found very small stringers too. Saw a small test pit and on the top found smaU floats. Panned the creek, got no colors. "XX" jobs 21 and' 22 are located. Three sman stringer veins were found, trenching was done. Panned the creek were these trenches were made and found, coarse gold near our survey line at the northeast corner "XX" claim. Up~trenm on this creek few colors were found. Exploration on this claim is very extensive because this claim contains so much float from whence samples were taken, It has more than 30 old shafts and test pits on it. A stringer 3 inches wide was found at the bottom of a shaft on the survey line near the abandoned house of L. Bamba. The pits and shafts are this point arranged in a row or line running east. They are 11 in number. In the 11th shaft east of the survey line, there is a stringer vein 5" wide. Other old shafts could not be explored owing to fallen earth. Panned the earth which covers the outcrop of Job No. 21, found coarse gold of pin he~d sizes. The place in 1/ty opinicn is very rich because fOT 8V81'Y panning we alwa.y s got gold. Panned Job No. 22, colors could be found but very seldom. "LV" claim. We exposed a stringer 7 inches wide nlong the survey line of our northern bound.

INDUSTRlAL MANUAL be in full opel'ation by Octobcr 1st.-By L. R. NIELSON, Chai1'l1lun of tile Boal·d. Hongkong, September 20, 1937. Board of Directors, Gentlemen: The following is a report on operations at your property to date, J\1i1ll;o . It is of :;pecinl interest that the ve:n has been cut in the lower 01' main haulage Tunnel and is of 1\ very high grade. This exposure is several hundred feet below any of the other workings and shows that ore bodies can be expected at lower hOI·izons. The vcin where cut, consists of 5 feet of allllost pure galena and of several feet more of (juartz and disseminated galena. The face of the X-cut is still in an ore-bearing host rock and the possibilities of finding additiona l ore bodies by extending the X-cut arc very good. This V -cut is being extended with this end in view. As soon as the mill is put into operation drifts will be sta rted on the vein on this level. At the present time all available space is filled wit.h ore from the J-cut and if drifting were to be start.ed there is no place to store lhe ore. S~op and Mine operation is being carried forwal'd and everything will be in readiness to produce the required daily tonnage when the mill starts. Yards & Buildings: The following buildings have been eompleted:Blacksmith Shop 'Val'ehouse Dynamite Magazine Office :l\Inchine Shop and Cap Ma!;t"azine Substation Compressol' House Three (3) Staff House Mill Bui lding Oil Wal'ehouse Coolie Lines HosI,>itai The Mess Hall, Assay Laboratory and Office Staff Quarters will be finished by the first of the montb.

Gardner Denver Compressor. P el'soll1lel: The property is completely staffed and all departments aTe ready for operation. Due to the fact that mining and milling is a new industry in the Territories it is hard to find trained labor. However, crews arc being broken in to do the work and within a few more months everything should bc running smoothly.

As of September 4th, 1937, official s of the company reported that production for August amounted to Pl 71,696.07 down approximately P16,OOO from t he previous month's output. The mill treated a total of 7,408 tons of OI'C. On Octobel' 4th, 1937, the company reported that production for the month of August amounted to P208,874.21, up approximately P27,000 over tho previous month's pour. Annual Report of the General Manager for 1936 -Development: A total of 214,000 tons of positive and probable ore averaging $4.08 was developed during the year a s a r ':!suit of some 10,650 feet of lateral and vertical work accomplished. This work was done on Balete NE-Balete SW -Bamboo vein ano: on six parallel (hanging wall) veins: Betel Nut, H ouse, Sunday, J oh n's Dog, 137 West and Central. Ba/de Nt-Ba/ete SlIJ_Bamboo . Vein-This vein, traceable 011 the surface for a distance of some 3,000' was developed in regions of three known ore shoot s:

E.

Baitte NE:-Re-su rvey and thorough resam. piing of the open cut area which include9 upper portions of John's Dog Central and 137 West vein as Balete NE shoot indicated a positive block of ore of 116,000 tons averaging $2.42 per ton. Additional work is necessary to fully develop this shallow low grade area which is being mined by the glory hole method, ot a pre!ent C09t of 32 centavos per ton. Balct.e SW: Exploration of boundaries of this ore shot above 230 level r esulted in development of 35,000 tons of ore. Some of this ore was developed in a f oot wnll nrea of hard quartz structure from which no Ol'e had been previously mined. It i! expected to cut the extemdon of this ore shoot on the 430 level within 3路4 months and both the 230 to 330 to 430 blocks will be developed from that level. B a.'mbo V eins: Surface samples taken in connection with the proposed development of a strong outcrop some 900' west of Balete SW area indicated presence of this ore shoot. To date a limited amount of work has been done in this area with encouraCing re~ults . The shoot will be further developed through proposed extension of the 430 level and by dinmond drilling below t his level.

Betel Nut Vein : Development work on this ..Iein resulted in a laternl extension of the rna.in ore shoot on 230 level; the discovery of an ore shoot on a hanging main and vertical extension of th\: mnin or s hoot to 330 level where a good grade of are was exposed for 400' along the strike. Development of the 430 level ha~ not been completed; to date this work indicates low values along the main drift west of the shaft. A totuJ of 30,600 ton s of positive ad probable ore a veraging $9.73 was develope>d On this Yain. H ouse, 173 W est, John's Dog and Sund:;,y VeinS: Additions to the OI'C reserve :l~ a :'csult of d evelopment work on these veins w:"\s us follows: J ohn's Dog Vein; 4,6:::0 tons @ $5.07 (Positive) H ouse Vein: 7,125 ton @ $5.73 (Probable) 137 West Vein: 6')400 tons @ $6041 (Po::it ive) Sund~y Vein: 7,700 tons @ $3.20 (P robable) Future Develolmumt: During 1937 it is planned to concentr ate development on the Lower levels of Balele S and on the Bamboo ore shoots and on undeveloped area between these shoots. Considerable work will be done in the o~en cut Inea with the object of delimiting t he boulldal(ies of the low gr:\de or e. Routi ne development of other veins will be continucd. Mining: A total of 62,661 tons of ore a"e1'8ging $7.93 was mined during the year.

Except for a ter.,por:'tI"Y suspens ion of operations in the open cut area during t he rainy season, 1111 developed sections above the 230 level were mined cOlltinuaJly. No ore w:'ts mined below the 230 level, but conside::able tonnage was produced from development ht!adings On 330 le\'el. A new hoi rt will be installed early in 1937 to faCiliw.te the mining and the development of t he lower levels. 'rhe Mine was in excellent condition throughout the year with a sufficient number of StOPC2 open to aSsure uninterrupted deliveries.

Milli1!U: A new mill cons isting of a }50 tl)n I'ated capacity flotation section and a 25 ton cyaniue section for t he treatment of concentrates of both IXL and Argos mills started operation in February. Some difficulty was experienced in flotation of oxidized ores particularly f r om the open cut area. and it soon became apparent the com monies would be effecteQ' by the addition of a cyaniding unit for the retreatment of flotation t a ils. The construction of thi ~ unit was started early in July and compl eted in 'December. The result of this work was a steady improvement in recovery and increase in tonnage and production. In December 7, 116 tons were milled anu, with tailing plant in operation, OVC:l'a ll recoverl' of goM wa s over 90 % .

Araneta , Manila, PhilippinES. THE INSULAR LIFE ASSURANCE CO., LTD. A group of far-sightec4' business men organized and incorporated the Insular Life Assurance Co. , Ltd., on November 25, 1910. That their judgment was good is evidenced by the present size and strength of the Company. Under the leadership of its first president, the Company started business in moci'est quarters in the Lack & Davis building on Calle Echague. I n 1930 just twenty years after its founding, the present be-autiful Imular Life Building opened its ·doors to the public. The new structure, nt the foot of the Jones bridge, is seven stories high, made of rein-

237

forced concrete facing two plazas-Moraga on the East and Cervantes on the North. The fiI·st Board of Directors was confronted with the stupendous task of educating the public to the necessity of Life Insurance. Foreign companies haei: been operating in the I slands for some time, but the Filipino people had not a~ yet realized the importance of Life Insurance. Likewise the I nsular Life had to demonstrate to the public that it was a good company and that money invested in it was safe. In 1933 the Insular Life forged ahead of its competitors in "new business" sold and since that time it has kept the distinction of being the largest producing life insul·allce company in the I sland!':. I n fact, accol'alng to the latest report of the Insurance Commissioner, in 1935 the Insular Life sold more life insurance that the combined total of its two nearest competitors. GROWTH

From a very modest beginning, the Insular Life has risen to be a dominating power in Life Insurance in the Philippines. The Company has a paidup capital of Pesos 1,000,000.00 and a surplus over its lega~ obligation of more straw 1,500,000.00. The steady growth of the Company can be attributed to three things: L The pursuance of a sound investment policy. 2. The careful selection of risks by t.he Medical Department. 3. The intensive selling program carl"ied on by the General Agent, AIr. C. S. Salmon, through the Life Underwriters. INVESTMENT POLICY Like other insurance companies, the Insular Life was formed for the purpose of furnishing aid to the family in time of need. I n order to 0'0 this the Company must keep funds readily available for such purposes. This has been done by diversifying the investment of the Company's funds. The Company invests in first mortgages upon improved real state, in good stocks, bonds and policy loans. At the same time a sufficient amount of cash is kept on deposit with local banks to meet daily obligationl';.


THE COMMERCIAL

238

&

The Company's investments are not limited to one type of security nor to placing fund s in one country_ The funds of the Company are invested in Europe, Asia, the United States and the Philippines. The Board of Directors' judgment has been justified by the r esult of t he last depression, a~ t he Insular Life witbstooC;- the devastating effects of said depression, and emerged in a str onger financial condition than ever before. By not investing all of its funds in one country, the Company and its policyholders have been able to derive the advantages of a continued prosperity. In all business concerns the various departments must .cooperate and ,g ive the best of t heir ability for the good of the comllany or el se that the company will not be a great success. Cooperation and hard work are the reaSOns for t he success of the Insular Life.

Under the gUidi~ hand of Mr. C. S. Salmon, the Life Underwriters 01 the General Agency have worked diligently to brin~ the benefits of life in:sur ance to the most remote banios in the Islands.

INDUSTRIAL MANUAL The hard work of the Insular Life Agency force has been responsible for the more than Pesos 44,000,000.00 of insura nce in force in the Philippines and the Territory of Hawa ii . Today t he Insular Life leads all other life insurance companies in the blends in ne.w business sold. TilE PRESWENT S

Since its incorporation the Insular Life has had but three presidents, Don Antonio M. Barretto, H on. Teodoro Yangco and Don Vicente Singson-Enca rn acion. Don Antonio 1\1. Barretto served from Nov. 25, ]910 to ]912 as president. Upon his retirement Hon. Teodoro Yangco was elected to head the Company. Don Teodoro is not only a successful business man but also is imown as the g)'ea t Filipino Philanthropist . He is intensely interested in young people and has concentrated hi s labor in promoting the Y.M. C.A. work in the Philippines. Mr. Yangco served t he Company for one year.

PHILIPPINES DON VICENTE SINCSON-ENCARNACION

The third anci' present president, Don Vicente Singson-Encarnacion, was elected to his present office upon the retirement of Hon. Teodoro Yangco and has been with the Company as its guiding hand continuously except when he was drafted by the government to serve in such impol路tant positions as Secretary of Agriculture and Commerce and later as Secretary of Finance. A brief glimpse into Don Vicente's life shows that he is an IJocano by birth. He was born on August 5, 1875 in Vigan, IIocos Sur, the son of Agripino Singson and Benita Encarnacion. He graduated from the Atcneo Municipal with an A. B. degree, completed his law course at the University of Santo Tomas ami' at the Liceo de Manila. He was admitted to the bar in 1901. Appointed provincial fiscal of nocos Sur an.,d Abra, 1901. He was a member of the first Philippine Assembly; member, Philippine Assembly 1907-1913; member, Philippine Commission 1913-1916; member, Philippine Senate 19161922; member, Philippine Independence Commission 1918. He served as Secretary of Agl'iculture and Commerce, and later as Secretary of Finance. He is president of The Insular Life Assurance Co., Ltd., president Phil ippine GUaranty Co., president, Balintawak Estate Co., Inc., and president of the Santa Rosa Mining Company. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention Committee; chairman, Finance and public Accounts; Tariffs, Commerce, Sponsorhip, Coin-age and Banks. When the Rice and Corn Commission was formed he was elected as president. His helpmate and inspiration throughout his !;'ervice to the public has been LucHa Diaz Conde whom he married in 1911.

ADVANTACES AND BENEFITS TO POLICYHOLDERS

Since its incorporation this company has paid more than Pesos 11,500,000.00 to its policyholders and beneficiaries in death claims, maturity claims and in dividends. Each year the Insular Life reiurns to its policyholders approximately Pesos 1,000,000.00 in death benefits 01' matured policies. Thus the Com_ pany can claim that it is one of the bulwarks of the Conunonwealth and as such, deserves the patronage of its citizens. Figures alone cannot express the steady growth of the Company and its corresponding breadth of service to the policyholders. From its organization in 1910, the Insular Life has been operated with the interests of the policyholders predominantly in mind. Each new privilege accorded to the insuring public has been maci'e retroactive as far as possibly done. This means, that the policyholders who had been insured for mnny years were permitted to wke .r.dvantage of ~ome of the policy provisions adopted after their policy was issued, if the policyholder signified his desire for such privilege. Another great benefit to the insuring public is that it s Home Office is located in the City of Manila, capital of the Commonwealth. The location of the cen,trol office in the Cit y aSSl!reS the po1icy~ holders of quick and efficient service as all questions concerning the relationship between the policyholders and the Company are settleci' in the Home: Office in Manila. HAWAII AGENCY OPENED

In November, 1933 the Company opened its Hawaii Agency. By so doing, the Insular Life offered the Fi.lipino citizens working on the Hawaiian plantations the opportunity to invest in a company from their homeland. There are approximately 55,000 Filipinos in the Hawaiian I slands, 45,000 of whom are Ilocanos noted for their thrifty habits. These people were quick to grasp the safe investment opportunity that the Insular Life offered them. FROM D UNNES' INTERNATIONAL INSURANCE REPORT

This company h"8.s been unusually successful in its operations. Its underwriting policy has been very conservative and for the last three years the ratio of actual to expected mortality has been under 50 per cent. Investment policy bas also been well advised, for the return earned in its securities has been ex-

When the Corpora tion wa first or ganizeo' we had only options on val'ious mineral properties loca ted in different parts of t he archipelago, and in order to continue t he exploration work already undertaken by the Corporation, the stockholders agreed to increase the capital stock to Pesos 1,500,000. It is this increased capital stock t.hat we are giviilg the public an opportuni ty to subscribe. Our men ill the field have made extensive examinations on our prospectl!, a nd have found them worthy of furthcr exploration and development. They recom menoed strongly the acquisition of t hese properties. After studying conscientiously and carefully the future of the recommended properties, basing the studies on the outcrop samples forwardded together with result)! ~ the assays, the Management has decided to acquire Fifty (50) gold lode m ineral claims located in the Barrio of P itisan, Municipality of Mambulac, P rovince of Cam!lrines Norte. These properties lie in the heart of one of the r ichest mining districts in the Islands. They are right close and anjacent to the properties of the San l\lauricio Minin,:!

The assays of the s amples ta ken from the surface of these claims vary from 1.8% to 62%. and ib is the opinion of experienced mining engineers t ha t this percentage is unusual. This shows that we have a chance to acquire t he richest copper mines in the worla. Added to this is the option the corporation has on thirty-two (32) gold lode mineral claims, or a total of 288 hectares. situated in the sitio of Arnbuladin g, Kapangan, District of Benguet, Mountain Province.

Commenting in the enterprise itself, the secretary declared that the Filipinos are responding to the call of industrialization of the country. He pointed out that industrialization should form a part of the economic system especially at this time that political and ~ono mic cha~~e ~ are ~king place: in the relationshlp of the Phllipplnes Wlth the Umted States. In view of the establishment of the International Paper Mills and Glass Manufacturing Co., Inc., Mr. Rodriguez pointed out that r aw materials that now go to waste will soon be made into marketable pro· ducts which will become a good source o~ income. He said that these materials which abound in the Philippines have been lying idle for centuries because no efforts have been made to industrialize them.

THE COMMERCIAL

&

With the increase of production from the Shaft Ore-body, it w.as found that because of the greater hardness of thiSl Ore, the mill could not be held up to rated capacity without the ins tal!ation of secondary crushing, The generally low grade of the orc milled made high tonnage essential for satisfactory output and operation EO a 3-foot Symons cone crusher wa9 added to the mill capacity and materially reducing grinding costs. Otherwise, milling operations have proceeded very smoothly and efficiently. A recovery of 94.5% has been maintained and operating costs have averaged less than Pesos 2.00 per ton. Unles!' new and bet.ter grade orc is developed from the new di! covery just made in the NOl1th end of the property, operations in 1937 will continue on the same basis as in 1936, milling an average of 5,250 tons of Pesos 10.00 ore a month. Additional ore of this grade will, no doubt be developed, and there Is available a considerable quantity of marginal orc averaging about Pe~ 7.00, which is not now included in ore reserves. This latter can be worked at a small profit particularly when development expenditures decrensed. It is not our intention to mine this ore, however, but to proceed vigorou91y with deve lopment and exploration, seeking new ore bodies in the area 110W being mine\ and new veins in the remaining claim area. \ T.

The report of Luis B. Montero, dated March 18, 1937 on the Old Timber's Group of claims of the Itogon de Oro Mining Co., Inc. consisting of 58 lode claims situated in the barrio of Paday, municipality of ltogan, Mountain Provinc~, gives very meager information about the said claims. No valuation can be recommended for said claims but their pros· pecting will not be objected to by this Office. Attention is invited to the fact that no certifi· cate of the Director of Forestry regarding the loca· tion of the 48 claims with reference to existing forest reserves is enclosed, and neither do the deeds of sale and option executed by Mr. Baluyut in favor of the Itogonde Oro Mining Co., Inc. appear to have been recorded in the offic, of the Mining Re· corder. , Before accepting the above c'laims as assets of the Itogon de Oro Mining Company, it is l·ecommend· ed that the owners of the claims be required to present the documents on which their titles on the claims are based, the survey plan of the claims, and affidavit to the effect that the same are free from conflicts and are :lOt within any government re· serves, and that by the purchase of said claims, the purchaser v.;ll not hold more than 250 claims in all the provinces in the Philippines, and also that at least 60% of the capital of the herein corporation is owned and shall at aU times be owned by citizens of the Philippines or of the United States. It should be understood that the herein corporation, by the purchase of said claims, shall not hold more than one claim on the same vein or lode as provided by Section 33 of the Act of Congress of July 1, 1902, or not more than three claims on the same vein or placer ground a s provided by Section 37 of the new Mining Act in case it should be decided that the said claims shall be leased under the provisions of the new Mining Law (Commonwealth Act No. 137). 1937Summary (md Conclusion:- There are several definite veins on the property especially along the REPORT AS OF SEPTEMBER 14,

west central part none of which show any attractive values. Considering the history of the Baguio area; however, there is a chance, but no assurance of finding commercial ore at depth, if the property is developed under the supervision of a competent geologist. While no development campaign can be definiteJur recommended, a proposed series of tunnels has been outlined which should prove the future possibilities at the minimum expense. Location:-The Yapa Marynoll Group of the Ito_ gon de 01'0 Mining Co., Inc., consists of 100 full claims, according to their claim map, located in the barrio of Yapa, Municipality of Bokod, Sub-Province of Benguet. It is bordered again accol'ding to the claim map, on the northwest by Benguet Atok and Hover Sawmill, on the east by Atok Patapat and the Cruz·Bantay Group, and on the southwest by Gold Strike Group and Yukon Mining Group. The claims have not been surveyed and claim cov· ers ore indicated by metal signs tacked on trees. In several cases the location posts are in place. According to the location date notices, the claims were located in 1932 and 1933. Topogra.phy and Accessibility:-The claims lie largely on the south slope of a mountain and extend from the top to the bottom. The topography is extremely rugged. On several places streams have cut steep canyons in the s ide of the mountain, and it is in the bottom of these canyons and where slides have occurred that the veins have been located. The only access to the property is over narrow trails which have been cut along the sides of the mountain. These trails are subject to constant ero· sion and will require constant maintenance. Road construction to the major part of the property ,viII be difficult and expensive, although it might be possible to build a road from kilometer 34 to the north corner of the property at a relatively small e:l:pense and reach any port of the property that may warrant development by aerial tram. Water and timbe1' :-During the rainy season every gully has plenty of water, but the only main stream on the property is in the southwest corner. The mountain is well covered with pine which is being logged at the present time, so that it is doubtful if it still be available for mining purposes. Geology:-The country rocks over most of the property is andesite but in the west corner there is considerable diorite. The veins are fillings of fissures in the country rock. In some cases they are clearly associated with faulting as the shear polish

of the fault and a gouge constitutes one wall of the vein. Developmellt:-The only developments on the propel·ty to date a l'e three temporary shacks, the trails cut to the various outcrops, two prospect tunnels onc 10 feet long and the second 45 feet. An attempt has been made to expose the veins in some places by removing a small amount of the surface soil, but in most places the veins have been exposed by erosion only. No attempt at septematic exploration by trenches and tunnels has been made. On account of the extreme steepness of the slopes, and the thinness of cover, trenching is not practical and any prospecting attempted will have to be done by rock tunnels. Detailed Descl"iption of Vei1ls:- Each vein has been given a name. In many cases the dip, strike and width can only e approximated owing to the small amount of work clone to date. Whenever the vein appeared to be definitely in place and of sufficient width to contain commercial ore it was sampled. These locations agl'ee with the claim corners as marked on the property. \ Descl'il)/ion of SU1JtlJfce:..l,.(AlI values in pesos @ P70 per oz.)

This vein is found near the breast of the 45' tunnel near the south corner and the same comments apply as to Sion No.2 Sample No. 11. Assay. . . Nil Summar:y..:-The minerals found in the veins already show that the veins were formed by hot solutions penetrating fractured areas. It is absolutely impossible to predict whether any' of these veins will carry commercial ore at depth. Not one of them carries any encouraging values at the surface. The veins in the tunnel on claim No. 90 were said to carry $10 values, but our samples did not confirm this. Even if they did, they would be of

no interest as the ground above the tunnel could only contain a very small tonnage of ore. Recommendation :- Haphazard prospecting to f ind additional vein out-crops has little chance of success on these claims. I n many of the propel'ties of the Mountain Pl'ovince the surface e:o:posures nre discou raging as many of the good veins do not outcrop. It is, therefore, not possible to say that any property with such a definitely proved fractured zone as the Itogon de Oro is of no interest. The history of the district is that these small crossfractures with low values in the weathered zone lend to consolidate and become of be~ter value at depth. Whether this is so on this property can only be determined by a scientific development campaign. By this is meant that a series o[ tunnel on the Mil路 and Mae veins will be requ ired to penetrate these veins at depth with the possibility of their working commercial ore. Specifically if it is decided to do any further development on this property, it is recommended: 1. 'I'hat an accuwte topographic map be m~de covering the vicinity of the 1\1i1" and Mae outcrops. 2. That a tunnel be driven a short distance below and normal to the strike as the Mil" vein so as to avoid the water in the creek and get below the weathered zone. This tunnel should be driven to the vein and then along the vein. S. If a hundred-foot tunnel on the Mil" vein proves no ore there, a cross cut tunnel should driven below the Mae vein in the same way. It may be that the Mae and Mil' veins converge at depth, and these tunnels shoul d prove this. 4. Later development should consist of the development of the area between the Juliana and the Minda veins by driving a tunnel normal to a line connecting these two veins and endeavouring to find a vein connecting them, as the area between the two veins is laced with smnll veinlets of pyrite which may mark the outcrop of a good vein -(Sgd.)

THE COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL MANUAL

The Benguet Gold Cave is incorporated for 1>1,000,000.00. Of this amount, 1'400,000.00 would have to be paid to the claim-owncl's, thus leaving only 60 ';'cI of the capitalization, or 1)600,000.00, available for the benefit of the stockholders. With the abandoning of this pOq )Cl'ty, which hus been found to be VC I'Y poor, the entire capitalization of 1'1,000,000.00 is available for other purposes. The funds of the Benguet Gold Cave Mines, Inc., have now been made available for the oper ation of the ](abayan Central Mines. This, mining cngill(>el's report to be all excellent property showing very high p)'obnblity of ultimnte returns on the

invc::otmcnt. Under the operating agreement entered into with the Kabay:m Central Mines, the entire capital advanced by the Bellguet Gold Cave will be returned before /lny dividCbds are declar ed, After this capital has been returned to the Benguet Gold Cave, the two companies will share on a 50-50 basis in all ne profits derived from the oller ation of the Knbayan Gentr aL Thus, it is obvious that this operating agreement with the Kabayan Cent al Mines is decidedly more advantageous to the stockholders of Benguet Gold Clive than the original setup, as the entire invc!;tmcnt of 1'1,000,000,00 wiU be t'eturned to the stockholden of the Benguet Gold Cave befol'e any dividends are declared, and before the stockholders of Kabayan Central Mines cnn share in any of the profits, The return of the original capital of the Bcnguet Gold Cave is thus assured as a first measure, after which fifty per cent of the profits of the mine goes to the stockholders of Benguet Gold Cave and fifty per cent to the owners of the Kabayan Central Mines, Report on the Proper ty of Kabayan Central Mi nes, Tnc" July 27, 1937: L(lcutioll-The Kabnyan Central Mines are situated on a mountain two kilometers north and one t housand feet elevation above the town of Kabaynn, Bcnguet, Mountain Province, which is the seat of the Municipal Government for the Municipality of the sume name, Tn a straight line, it is about 31 kilometers f"om Antamok, where gold activities have long been ca lTied 0, Histo,'y-The history of Kabaya Central Mines pr oper is strictly recent, This is not an "old 19orot

workings," I t is true that the natives have ,'ecover. cd small amounts of gold f r om both the Agno Rivel' in thh:\ vicinity and from the gulches coming off t his mountain, but it was only last August that one source of the gold recovered in the gulches was located by uutives worki ng under the di r ection of Mr, Henry Kamora , formel' Representative for Benguet, It was a clever piece of prospecting requiring a lot of time and labor as the source was definitely located many hund reds of feet above the gulches from wh ich the gold had been recover ed and fu ll y two ki lometer s away, Thel'e were no prominent outcrops and no scars on the mountnin j however, there is at this point n shoulder on the mountain, at r ight angles to the main ridge, fo r med by t hc slower erosion due to the insolubility of the quartz vein. The increase in the price of gold stimulated prospecting and the reward to the natives, while meager, was more than t hey were accustomed to l'eceive. hence the activity which led to the discovery of the vein in place. As a matter of fact, at least thr ee veins, more or less par allel, were found and f explOited by these people, These natives brought wnter around the side of the mountain in an open ditch and calTied on tha old native custom of "booming", The financial rewar d was not great, t he system da ngcl'ous-at least one Illltive ha\'ing been killcd,-and Mr, Kamora realizcd that it would be to the advantage of tha village to carryon a more f ormul opel'ation. He is right, The proper Ly was several t imes investigated by the engineers of Alvir & Co" Tne" and t.hese be路 came all convinced, for the reasons sluted below, that the property has exceptional merit, and while only a prospect, it is a most excellent one, T01)Oo,'aplly-(a) The vein being located on a high mountain, with steep sides, great depth below the outcrop can be opened without hoists for handling ore, supplics and men,

(b) The mine will drain through a tunnel, no pumps being needed, (c) The strike of the vein is nearly at right nngles to the ridge of the mountain and only short. crosscuts will be necded to reach the ,'cins, after which all development can be cmriefl nn b\' drifts and raises along the vein No long and expensive crosscuts are needed,

The physical location of the property is exee1lent,


__________________________~P~H~[L~[~pp~[~N~E~S________________________~253 Geology-The veins of the Kabayan Central are located in a N-W series of fractures, dipping to the east in andesite. The uplift that formed the mountain where the property is located was doubtless the center of a movement which caused fissures to be formed in the neighboring vicinity, whore mineralization is shown. The fracturing was strong and both hanging and footwalls are well marked. Mineralization-The vein filling is made up of quartz and some calcite; on the surface it shows much iron oxide indicating that sulphides can be e~pected below the zone of oxidation. The presence of gold has been determined by actual reeovel~y by the natives and later b:1 sampling the few exposures shown in View II. These exposures wen~ material left by the natives as pillars in the poorer st'ctions of the vein, but all carried gold. Some assayed as high as $6.50. Act'i ve Work-Active work was started in five tunnels on May IS, 1937 and in the first month 294 feet of advance were made. Four of the tunnels are crosscuts, located in what are believed to be safe places, free from slide effects. These will be turned into drifts upon cutting the veins. One tunnel was started on the vein, but in a place where there was possible danger from typhoon effect. Before this portal was caved by the last!. typhoon, valuablc and interesting information was ol:itained. The drift was advanced 66 feet on a vein wider than the tunnel (over 5 ft. wide) and all samples carried gold. As this is a long distance from the Igorot workings and shows a vcin of good width with values, it is very encouraging. The ore shoot is expected under the old workings where "booming" was carried on. General Conditions-Good labor is plentiful 10call;v. Many of the local men have had experience and are now employed in the larger mines of Baguio district, and will be available as our need for labor incrcases. Housing facilities will not be needed for some time. Timber on the east side of the Agno River is inaccessible to the present saw mills supplying Baguio but aSSUl'CS us of a plentiful supply for future operations. Wnter is plentiful from the main Agno River. Transportation is not insurmountable nor will the cost be prohibitive. ' Conclusions alld Recommemlation8-The property well merits development, and it is strongly recommendcd that the active development program now under way be continucd with excellent possibilities

of developing a profitable ore body which will wal'rant the erection of a mill-ALVIR & CO., INC., By (SUd.) WALTER J. EATON, Chief Engineer. Progl'ess Report of Kabayan Central l\iincs, Inc., as of August 2, 1937: Development wOl'k at Kabayan Central Mines progressed vcry slowly d\ll'ing the month of July. This was due to the fact that hard rock was encountel'ed in all the crosscuts and very little progress could be made without blnsting. All the crosscuts were stopped the first of July, leaving only Tunnel No.2 nOl'th to be worked. In Tunnel No.2 north, 17.2 meters of crosscutting and 11.4 meters of dl'ifting was done. Now that we have a pcrmit to purchase explosives , work on all headings will be resumed as soon as possible. KAHIRUP MINING PROMOTION INC.

The Factory consis ts of 42 departments, where a populace of workers of both sexes, managed by expel'ts dexterous in the manufacture of Cigars, produce variou~ cia9ses of Cigars and Cigarettes so highly appreciated by the public.

The spacious extent of the departments where the workshops are iQstalled, the cleanliness, the hygienic services, and the kindly and careful treatment received by the Factory employees, have been the subject of praise on the part of Americans and foreigners who are consta~tly visiting La Flor de la Isabela. The machinery used in th€! !Factory for the different complicated manufactures is of the most modern and up-to-da t e type, and the Chiefs of the F:lctory give special attention to effecting improvements and progress in this connection .

D i rectfJ)'S:

Report of the President to the Stockholders, "La Previsora Filipina", Mutual Building and Loan Association, February 26, 1937: The close of the year 1936 marked another dis. tinct progress in the business of your Association both from the standpoint of stability and profit. 'While I am particularly pleased with the size of dividend declared by your Association on installment shares during the year which r understand was one of the highest, if not the highest dividend declared in that year by a building and loan association in Manila, I wish to call your attention to the fact that your Association was never in a stronger and more stable position nor had it stood on a firmer and more solid ground than when it was as of the close of business December 31, 1936, 'We adopted during the year various measures designed to give you the maximum henefits of the business of your Association as well as the maximum protection o[ the money you have entrusted with us. We inaugurnted the declaration of quarterly dividends on installment shares, abandoning the old practice of a single dividend declaration a year. In

INDUSTRIAL MANUAL addition to the legal reserve which stood at P32,782.50 at the end of the year, we set aside a voluntary reserve of PIO,235.61 to take care of possible future contingencies, exclusive of the amount of P23,272.06 which we set aside to take care of the depreciation in the value of real estate acquired by the Association. Also, the cost of running your Association was maintained at a low level consistent with efficiency. I am of course aware that the success of your Association during the year was due large1y to the support and cooperation you have given the Management in pushing through its program of operation. I am sure that with your continued support of that program, the future 011 your Association is assured. The accompanying report of the Manager addl'e!';sed to your Board of Directors and approved by the latter at its meeting held on Februal'y 8, 1937 will give you in detail pertinent information about the business of your Association during the year unde~' review.-E. P. REVILLA, Pr6Bid6Jtt. REPORT 01" THE !l.IANAGER

!n compliance with pargraph (a) of Article 50 of die by-laws of our Association, I am pleased to submit to you the E leventh Annual Report of the La Previsora Filipina, Mutual Building and Loan Association, as of the close of its business ending December 31, 1936. At no time since 1930 had the Association been in a more properous and sound financial condition than it was during the year just closed. Its net profit for the period was 1)66,286.66 which after paying the quarterly dividend of 7 % per annum to holders of fully-paid shares (Liberndas) made possible the declaration of a total quarterly dividend of 7-1/2 "/" to holders of installment shores resulting in the early maturities of a number o[ our shares. I am pleased to state that the dividend of 7-1/2 0/" credited to the accounts of our inst.'lllment share路 holders for the four quarters of 1936 was not only the highest dividend declared on installment shares by our Association since 1930 but it was also far above t.he current interest generally paid by other consen'atoive institutions of savings open to the average individual. For your infonnation and for purposes of comparison. I am giving hereunder the


PHILIPPINES dividends declared and credited to accounts of our installment shares since 1930: 1931 7.30% 1932 5.30% 1933 5.80% 1934 5.000/0 1935 6.00% 1936 7.50% which, as you will note, show a distinct upward trend from the close of the year 1934 when the Association was taken over by the present management. It must be recalled that at the beginning of the year, the Association, with a view of giving its shareholders the maximum benefits of t he profits derived from its operations, inaugurated a policy of declaring quarterly dividends on its installment shares instead of only once a yeat路 as was its usual practice and that of the other building and loan associations in Manila. It is obvious that when a shareholder receives a certain rate of dividend based on one year but credited to hi mfour times a year, he gets more than when he is given the same rate but cr ediated to his account only once a year Accordingly, in the case of the total dividend of 7-1/2% declared and credited by the A'ssociation to the accounts of our shareholders for the four quarters of 1936, they actually received more than what they would get had the association followed its previous practice of declaring its dividends only at the end of the year. Thus on the basis of 7-1/2%, the effective rate which it actually declared on these shares had such credit been made only at the end of the year would have the equivalent of our shareholders receiving a dividend rate ranging from a little ovel' 7.1./2% to as high as 11.38%. There can be no doubt t herefore that during the .year just closed, our investors I'eceived one of the biggest return~ pel' peso of their investment since the Associa_ tion was established eleven years ago. Nor was the size of the dividend which the Association declnred the only indication of its successful opel'lltion during the year. It was further indicated by the relatively high degree of protective measures adopted by the Association to insure the safety of our shareholders' money so that every centavo of their investment in the Association ma.y not only earn attractive income but its return to them may also be fully assured. Whereas on December 31, 1935 the reserve account of the Association was P29,467.24, at the close

261

of the year under review, it was increased to P43,018.11 which amount is more than adequate to take care of any probable contingency of the Association. Moreover, instead of considering the amount of P15,448.48 representing profits realized on sale of pro.perties of the Association as a source of income, it is however being rteated as a resreve account to take care of possible fluctuation in the value of our unsold properties. In addition, we are keeping the amount of P7,823.58 as reserve against some of our acquired properties, the book value of which we consider to be below their market value. Our total reserves therefore as of the close of the year amount to P66,290.17. These measures were. taken in line with our poJicy of observing to the letter our obligation to pl'otect to the fulest extent the investment of our shareholders. The successful operation of the Association duro ing the year under review may be attributed largely to the following: (a) Collection was unusually high compared with the previous year. A distinct disposition on the part of our borrowing members and holders of free shares alike to place their accounts on a current basis was clearly evident. Delinquencies dropped considerably and even the few delinquent accounts outstanding at the close of the year had the prospects of becoming good accounts in the near future. From the nature of the accounts of OUT bol'rowers as of the beginning of the year, we estimated a total of not less than P60,000.00 representing the book value of possible mortgage loans likely to be foreclosed during the year. However, the total value of mortgage loans actually foreclosed during the year amounted to only P36,465.91, the rest proving to be good accounts. (b) Our plan adopted since the eurly part of 1935 of selling ouI' acquired properties as fast as reasonable prices fol' them are obtained was continued more than ever in 1936 with the result that of the properties remaining unsold in 19:f5 01' other,vise acquired in 1936, many were disposed of during the year. As of January 1, 1936 our acquired properties stood at P132,398.01 The total acquisition during the year was P36,465.90. We sold during the same period a total value of P99,501.66 of which P19,409.84 represents sale about to be consumated or offers of purchase approved by the Board but held pending compliance of certain conditions in the sale agreement. While therefore the total value of our Real Estate Owned shown in the

THE COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL MANUAL

----'---

accompanying balance sheet as of December 31. 1936 stood at 1'88,772.10 as a matter of fact P19.409.84 of that amount represents sales about to be consumated. These sales meant the conversion into productive assets of what otherwi se would remain " white elephants" of the Association. Based on an investment of 10 %, these sales represent an additional income to the Association of 1>9,950.16 a ;yea r without taking into con9.idera t.ion the big amount it saved in the form of taxes, insurance pl'em ium, repairs, etc. Among the outstanding events of the year affecting the business of the Association may be mentioned t he following: (n) The result of the court action instituted against t.he Association by its former directors, Vicente Legarda, Miguel Romualdez and Pedro Mata, for recovery of various sums of money by reason of the cancellation b)' the former of certain alleged contracts of employment was, in each instance, favora ble to the Association with the exception of the case of Pedro l\.'lata which is yet pending trial. The case of Vicente Legarda is however on appeal in the Supreme COUlt. The\iecision on t he Romualdez case was recently haml~d down by the lower court of Manila dismissing the complaint against the Association as without merit and further ordering the plaintiff to pay the Atsoc ia t ion the sum of "495.00 for various amounts illegally collected by him. No decision is handed as yet b~路 the Supreme Court in the case of Juan Tuason vs. La Previsora Filipina to which body it is now on a ppeal. Although the decision of the lower court on t hi s ca'se is adverse to the Association, our attorneys have high hopes of finaUy winning bhe case in the Supreme Court. As already st.'Lted in our 1935 report to the general stockholders, even i1 the Association loses this case, our l'eSel'Ves being man y t imes morc t ha n the amount of money therein involved, the business of the Association would not in the least be affected by it. (b) Our Association was instrumental in preventing Bill No. 2397 passed by the National Assembly ill its last session fl'om becoming a law. Thi s bit! provides for a certain manner of disposing real estate properties acquired by a building and loan association which, had it became a law, would be most prejudicial to the intel'est of building and lORn bus iness in this country. It was passed by the National Assembly without giving the local as-

sociations an opportunity to voice their opinion on t he matter. When therefore it was sent to the President of the Philippines for its s ignature, our Association immediately took steps to voice its oppos ition to the bill and propel' representation was made with the Chief Executive to veto the bill The bill was finally vetoed by the President. In accordance with the policy of the government to prohibit its officials f!'Om participating in the management a nd cont rol of pl'ivate. enterprise!;, Auditor General Jaime H ernandez resigned as director of our Association. His position was subsequently filted by j;he election of Mr. Paciano Dizon, Comptroller of the Man ila Railroad Company in the general stockholde rs IMllting on Februal'y 26, 1936, After giving his valuable services as director of the Association for about 10 months, Mr. Dizon alopg with Dr, Rufino Luna , now Under-secretary of the Department of t he Interior and who had been OM of our distinguished board members since February 25, 1935 resigned their membership in our Board effecti,,!? as of December 31, 1936 following the recent ruling of t.he Cabi net prohibi t ing government officials from engaging in private business. MI'. Juan D. Quintos , another of ouI' Directors and an official of the BlH'~a U of Audits also s ubmitted his resignation bu t it was held pending fut.ure aeLion of the Board. Much as t.he Association desired to retain the services of these three distinguished gentlemen. however, there being no alternat.ive open to it, their resignations were therefore accepted with regret. To insure a working majority in the Board meetings before the election of new dircctors in the general ~ to ,路khold .:!l's' meeting which takes place in F ebruary, 1937, t he Association offer ed l\h. Rafael Roces , Presidcnt of the Sta. Clam Lumhel' Company th(' m(>mbership left vacant by MI'. Dizon. !HI' Roces indicated he would accept the position. With the passi ng of the year 193C. we ate therefore proud to state that we have once more closed another brilliant chapter in the life of our Association. Its accomplishments as s hown in the fol'C!;,oi ng paragraphs should n(>t be measured only in terms of the material benefits l'eeeived by our members hut they shoulri be vi ewed mther in the light of service rendered by t.he Association to the community. Within the full limit of its resources, it has encouraged thrift among the people of moderate means, built their homes for t.hem :'Ind contributed in no small measure to the happiness :llld well being of those it has the privilege to serve.

PHILIPPINES LABO SANTA ANA-SAN JOAQUIN UNITED

MINES, INC. Locat'ion, E:r;tent And Accllllsibility-The pro· perties of the Labo Santa Ana-San Joaquin United Mines, Inc., consist of two adjacent groups, namely; Laho Santa Ana with 38 full-sized lode mineral claims and Labo San J oaquin with 40 full-sized lode mineral claims. These two adjacent groups are located in the barrios of Cabusay and Bulhao, town of Laho,Camarines Norte. A road is now construct.. ed from the provincial road to Sta. Ana camp and a road connecting the San Joaquin camp to the main highway is under construction. General Geology-The predominating country rocks are granite, diorite and andesite. The two groups lie in the same ranges as that of the United Paracale. While in the air it appears to me that the United Pal'acale property is on the northern downthrow, while Lnpo Santa Ana-San Joaquin properties are on the southern downthrow of a mountain range with the Malaguit River in between. Geologically speaking, the conditions existing at United Paracale and at Laoo Santa Ana-San Joaquin United Mines, Inc., are similar. The writer has seen the underground working of United Paracale through the courtesy of Mr. J. B. Stapler, Manager of Marsman & Co., southern branch. The Country in general appears matured with flat roiling hills. Stl,tctural Geology-Labo San Joaquin Group: At the southwestern corner of Ami! claim is an open cut exposing an oxidized vein of 12 inches solid quartz highly mineralized with both walls altered. An average cut of 31,4 fcet wide on west wall gives $6.00, while the E. Wall gives a cut of 3 feet at $10.00. An average of the two will give a cut of 3.25 feet at $7.80. A little north of the above mentioned open-cut, a small shaft was sunk and at 20 feet down from coUar a cross-cut was dl'iven to the vein No.3, cutting it at about 5 feet from shaft. An average cut on the west wall of 21,4 feet gives an assay of $1.60, At the northwestern cornel' of Atin mineral claim is an open cut exposing a narrow vein with its hanging wall strung N_75 0 _W, and dipping 55 0 North, The vein is 12 inches exposed here. A little west of the open cut is a shaft following the vein. Sample here can not be taken at the time of inspection as everything is logged, A little west of the shaft No.2 is an open cut exposing this vein No.2 end an average cut of 12 inches on the west

265

wall give $6,20. A little east of the shaft No.2 is an open cut exposing the same vein No. 2 at an average cut of 15 inches giving $8.80, This proves that in two different points of about 100 ft. horizontal distance vein No.2 gives value. With all the evidences that veins Nos. 2 and 3 carries values and their strikes and dips known, diamond drill No.1 was sunk in a south one degree west and dipping 51° south, At about 28 feet from collar a ore sample gives $4.40. At about 143 feet deep it gives a sludge sample of $1.20. This corresponds to the dip of vein NO.3. At 328 feet deep a core assay gives 2.5 feet at $23.60, sludge give $2.80, If this is the continuation of vein No.2 it shows that vein No.2 steepens up at lower elevation and shows better values. On the western central border of Amin mineral claim is a tunnel No. 19 which has cut an andesitic dyke with both wans wide. Diamond drill hole No.2 was driven at about S--500--E, and dips 50 0 NW. At 219 feet the rock is d iorite and from 219' -235' is an andesite rock of about 16 ft, wide while immediately 235' is a body of dioxite rock. This changes of rock structure cOl'l'espond with the rock structure in tunnel No, 19, Stl'1.(ct«ral Geology- Santa Ana: Tunnel No. Z has cut from 30' 56* feet from portal a low grade161,4, feet wide vein matter composed of quartz streaked with galena , chalcopyrite, bornite and pyrite. On the foot wall 30 feet to 33 feet in, gives a cut of 3 feet at $2.27 and 33 feet to 33 l k in gives a ('ut of 0.5 feet at $3,30 while on the hanging wall a cut of 3 feet gives $3 ..10. In between the HW and FW is a zone of country rock impregnated with fissures filled up with quartz carrying the suphide minerals mC'ntioned above. The vein is striking south 50° West and dipping from 65 to 75 degrees north west. Tunnel No, 1 which is about 90 feet lower and about 500 feet West of tunnel No.2 has cut, at about 280 feet from portal, a series of stringers carrying the same minerals as found in tunnel No. 2. The structures and assa,ys suggest that it is weaker toward west and stronger toward east. Minel'alogy-A thin section of Santa Ana vein cut at tunnel No, 2 and the diamond drill core No. 1 which cuts vein No, 2 of San Joaquin was put under the petrographic microscope and minerals found are identical namely: galena, chalcopyrite~ pyrite and quartz as gangue,

THE COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL MANUAL

Labor, Ti-mbe-r and Water-There is plenty of labor supply in the town. Ther e is unlimited supply of timber in the property. Water for milling, mining, and domestic purposes is enough. Power has to be generated by diesel engines. Concl11sion am.d Recomlllendat'ion-l. You have defined by open cuts and shafts two veins at Labo San Joaquin namely No.2 and No.3. Both veins strikes east and west and dips from GO to 70 degrees north. These two veins arc about 100 feet apart. 2. Before sinking a capital shait of three compartments you should sink two diamond drill holes

one about 450 feet and the second about 900 feet east of diamond drill No. 1. This is very important in order to know the kind of rocks underneath, as correct judgment where to sink the shaft can be made only after kn~ving the rock structure. From this shaft crosscut to... the vein should be dl'iven at the shortest possible Clistance. 3. Although the wict..th of the San Joaquin veins 2 and 3 are narrow, abou~ feet the most, it carried high assay values which is commercial cven there is a dilution of a feet. 4. The Sta. Ana vcin Oi about 16 feet wide show low grade values but its width is big. There is a minable part of 4 fcet in the foot-wall. The formation is very strong and T suggest that in tunnel 2 both sides of the cross cut should be drifted on the vein. The drift should not be as large as tbe main cross-cut but large enough to pass a small mine car. 5. At tunnel No.1 of Sta. Ana a drift toward east should be st.'lI'ted at about the projection line of the Sta. Ana vein. 6. DI'jve tunnel No.1, 20 feet more to cut the fault on the face. 7. After drifting Stn. Ana vein from tunnel No.1, select the point where values and structure are consta nt and from this point drive a cross-cut north about 100 feet. Diamond drill the Sta. Ana vein from this cross-cut to cut it at about 100 feet lower that tunnel No.1 level. If the vein is there and shows values located a place for shafting. 8. Purchase your own small dinmond drill costing around Il I0,000.00. 9. Stop all prospecting and put all your work in developing and blocldng the San Joaquin veins, 2 and 3, and the Sta. Aan vein. 10. Judging from the present amount of development work in the property it shows promise

and if your veins continue to give values at lowel' levels you will soon be a producing minc-(Sgd.) B. R. CUESTA, Licensed Min171g Engi7leer. LABORATORlQ ARGUELLES, INC.

THE COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL MANUAL

Location-The property of the Layog Gold Min_ ing Company covers the sitio of Magupas and Layog, barrio Pand:m, municipality of Sagod, Lcytc. It is approximately seven kilometers from t he town of Saged following a tl'ai l along t he course of Pandan River, It is bounded on the sou th by t he Royal Mining Co. of Sagod. The ground covered consists of 71 f ull lode claims properI,y st.'lked, duly recorded and registered. A little portion of the claims is on private lands but surface rights have been paid for and the title to the claims arc clear and fre~ from and a dverse claims of prior rights. Geology-Rock formations consists mainly of a ndesite and andesite porphyry. To t he west at a distance of abou t 3 kilometers diorite, formation is exposed, but rela!;ionship between twc" formations has not been determined for the present The andesite exposul'e both on the surface and also in places where tunne.,ls have been driven showed leaching and alteration. Ip the sonthern portion of the grou nd a few slides have taken and the ground is loose with evidences of ste~ faulting. Topography-The region 1S very steep, rising at about three thousand feet above sea level. Tunneling is very feasibly ideal for exploration work. The elevation gives sufficient back for numerous levels . The territory is tl'aversed by the Layog River and its tributaries, disecting and mountain sides and producing deep canyons ravinee, and steep hillsides. Mineralization-Mineralization in t his ground is probably the most extensive, t here is, in the southern islands. In a big! slide up in the northern portion of the ground, quar tz floats ore in abundance showing evidence of veins broken up from above. The quartz floats ore heavily mineralized with different sulfides of copper, lead and zinc and their abundance is sure sign of big size veins. On the southern portion of the g round stands a cliff of 50 feet of bank at the foot of which boulders of quartz are lying on the camote patches. The presence of quartz found shows that the cliff is the wall of the vein from where t hey broke off. On the cent ral portion of the g r ound running on a strike of N40W some quartz floats are scattered all over. The abundance of the quartz in the ground covered by these claims gives assurances of zome veins system that could be found within the ground. I n an extension of about two k ilometers from the creek to t he sliae mentioned above which is on t he northern

portion of the ground, the same mineralization is f ound to be frue and the only conclus ion is that mineralization is verly strong and no doubt that t he g round is one of the most valuable that could be found in the South. At the present writing f ifteen tunnels have been driven and in most of them veins of from 3 to 7 feet wide have been cut and drifted in. Samples taken from floats outcrops and veins cut in the tunnels, showed values from P4 .00 to P35.00 but I am not giving this assay report very much importance until your own a ssaying equipment arrives for a more reliable assay return. The fact is, r am expecting to find better values in your rocks than what is fiven here. The immensi ty of mineralization in this ground is enough for drawing conclusion that your prospect is exceptionally t he best for making a mine. Water Supply-There is enoug h water for a ll purposes, and I am sure you would have no problem to bother with. Timbe1' S U1)plll-The greater portion of your claims all in thick forest a nd public land for mine needs you will have enoug h on the neig hborhood for a period of at least five years. Tra.nsportation-The property is about seven kilometers from the town of Sogod. For the present, a trail following the course of Pandan river is the only way to reach the property. Toad for trucks and automobile has already been started. The town of Soged is reached from Malitbog, a port of call, by the provincial road at a distance of 28 kilometers. Boats also call ports of Sogod and more frequently when the wharf is open for use. Both sea and land transportation makes transportation cost cheap. Conclusion,- This property is one of the most va luable property in the South and chances for making a mine out of it is very bright. The future of this property as could be foreseen based from surface exposures and all other indications, points toward to a real mine. Based on that assumption, it will have a complex su lfide ore of copper, lea d and zinc as associates or gangue metals, which m a,y probably be an a dded source of marketable product. Considering different conditions in the south, mining a nd milling cost per ton could be guessed at between P7 and PS. R econlm en.dationB-Proper, thorough nnd extens ive exploration is recommended.- (Sgd.) SANTOS C. MURILLO, Licensed Mining Engineer.

Ledda, on August 1, 1931, with a eapitai of P2,OOO.OO. At first, the business concentrated in dealing in firearms and amunition with athletic equipment as a sideline. L ater, athletic supplies became popular and the demand jumped to an unprecedented scale. It became therefore necessary to seek new sources oi athletic supplies which were reliably acceptable to tHe customers, and to increase the stock of these supplies. To meet t his exigency) the store was incorpol'ated under the laws of th~ Philippine I slands on December 31, 1931, with an authorized capital of P50,000, P9,300.00 of which was paid up. The incorporators who constituted the first Board of Dir-

eetors were: F. Z. Ledda, Mrs. F. Z. Ledda, Francisco L imjap, Mrs. F. Limjap and Eugenio Mapili. T he term of the Corporation is 50 years. The scope of t he business has been increased now to deal also in general merchandise and general bu siness including loans, leases, surety, etc. At the end of t he first year of its corporate existence, a net profit of Pl,240.73 was realized. Together with the sale of stocks amounting to P3,000.00, the corporation increased again its operating capital, enabling the management to increase its stock. The worth of the business after the firs t year was PI3,540.73. At the second year of corporate existence, or on December 31, 1933, Pl,618.98 was realized as the net profit, a nd the worth of the business became P15,159.71. It was not until the middle part of the year 1932 that the Corporation has obtained the representation and exclusive agency of the P. Goldsmith Sons, I nc., of Cincinnati, Ohio. From t his t ime, the Corporation increased the sales of Athletic goods. With this connection, the business in athletic equipment has remarkably increased. This store is now handling the products of the P . Goldsmith Son, Inc., in this country at an average of P2,500.00 a month.

THE COMMERCiAL

&

Anoth.er improvement has been added recently in our athletic goods. This store has subsidized I'leal lllunufacturCl'S of home-made Volley Balls, Basket Balls, Seccel' Ball s, Tennis Nets and other minor items. The cost of labor is appreciably lower here than in the United States while the transportation is practically climil!at(!rI, g:nng the corporation bigger margi ns than those wh ich arc imported from abroad. Manufactu r ing these goods in this country has proven to pc effective of sal utary results. Besides the bigger profits that could be made out of t hese goods, it has provided work to some peopl e and encouraged local talents to make and use native products. These goods can be compa r ed with any of the imported goods in quality a nd usefulness.

The Hon. Vicente L. Legal'da was the fi r st Filipino Navnl Architect and the first of hi s race to teach Ci vil Engineering and Naval Architecture in an American College in the United States. <rEI Debate" ca ll s him "an Illustrious Filipino" and his friends "a real lender." Unable to receive funds from his parents in the Ph il ippines while in Glasgow as a s tudent, during the Ph ilippine Revolution, he taught Spanish to Irish, Scotch and English young men and young women; thus he was able to pave hi s own way through coll ege. While he practiced his profession in San Fran~ cisco, California, from 1900 to 1909, his meritorious work through his untiring industry caught the attention of the then Governor-General of the Phil ippine Isla nds, the Hon. William Cameron Forbes, who advised him to work in the Philippines instead


PHILIPPINES of abroad, even nt a great sacrifice to his earning power. In the State. of California, United States of America, it was industrious Mr. Legardn who drew most of the construction plans of the sister-cl'uisers "California" and " South Dakota" at the Dflion Iron Works Shipbuilding Yard at San Francisco. He also drew and designed the plans for the Ol'pheum Theatre, the most modern then in the City of the Golden Gate, and the plans of the Emporium Build~ ing, the largest Department Store in the whole Pacific Coast. Returning to the Philippines in 1909, in accordance with GovernOI' Forbes' suggestions and recommendations, he joined the Bureau of Public Work in Manila working as Architect, Civil Engineer, Chief Estimator, Chief Structural Engineer, Editor-inChief of the Bureau of Public Works Bulletin, Superintendent of Construction and holding many other positions of importance and responsibility. It was again Mr. Legal'da, the popular consulting architect, who designed the foundation r.lans of the Philippine Legislati ve Building as well as those of the Post Office Building, the two outstanding architectural achievements of the InsulaI' Goverment in the City of Manila. As a leader and builder of Philippine commerce and industry, Mr. Legardn was one of the organizers of the twenty-million-peso mutual building and loan association, La Previsora Filipina. It was he who, as Manager and Consulting Architect of said organization, made this firm one of the biggest of its kind in the Philippines. Born on December 13, 1874, in Manila, Mr. Legarda is the eldest son of Don Miguel Legarda y Tuason and Dona Genoveva Flores y Zamora. He began his early studies in Manila up to the year 1887 when he left for Europe residing in Spain, England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland and many other countries of the Old World during 1888-1900, and finishing his course of Architecture in 1893, that of Civil Engineering in 1898 and that of Naval Architecture in 1900. From Europe Mr. Legarda went to the United States of America and stayed in San Francisco, California, where he practiced the various phases of Engineering in the Union Iron Works Shipbuilding Yard 1900-1906; with Messrs. Landsburg and Joseph, Architects and Engineers, 1906-1908; and with Messrs. D. H. Burham and Co., Architects and Engineers, 1908-1909.

271

While he was with the Bureau of Public Works as Architect and Civil Engineer he also held the position of the Chairman of the Appraisement Committee of the Postal Savings Bank Board and Chairman of the Appraisement Committee of the Teacher's Pension and Investment Board. As Professor of Architecture & Civil Engineering at the University of Santo Tomas, Mr. Legarda initiated and organized the course in Building Constl'uction and Civil Architecture as part of the Civil Engineering curriculum in the University. Mr. Lega rda is the Founder and Director of the Commonwealth Institute, Inc., (Commonwealth University), the most modern and up-to-date private educational institution in the Philippine Islands today, as its name indicates, where practical vocational courscs are tau~ht with a view to training young men and young' women of this country for thc future events that are abo ut to take place in the economic life of this nation. l\Ir. Le~ garda'S long and varied expeJ'ience as an educator both in Europe, in America and hcre in the Philippine Islands places him far above the level of the best in this line of thought and action. T hrift has characterized t he whole life of Don Vicente which reads like romance of business. Mr. Legarda is a man who practices what he says and writes. His slogan has always been: 'lSave and do not waste." On being a sked for the secret of his succe!;s and achievement, he sai d: "What shall I say: Look up my record, my own life. I have practiced thrift, and now I preach it. One should keep his eyes wid~ open all the time. Know the world. Avoid bad company. Associate with men of good reputation. Work during the day and study at night, or vice-versa, as I did when I was in Europe. Then, after having worked hard and saved much, travel if you can so as to complete your life's education. For one year of travel is worth more than ten years of book reading." 1\1r. Legarda is an active member of the Institute of Architects and Engineers. He belongs to the Manila CounciJ No. 1000 of the Knights of Columbus, . and is also an active member of the Chamber of Commerce of the Philippine Islands and also a member of the "Asociaci6n de Propietarios de Manila" (an association of Manila property owners). A great traveller and a keen observer of things, Mr. Legarda has circled the globe eight times and has lived abroad for more than thirty-two years.

THE COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL MANUAL

In 1917 he married Dona Clara Tanbunting, eldest daughter of Don Ildefonso Tanbunting, prominent Manila merchant. Mr. Legarda resides at his mansion, simple but artistic. on Calle Maytubig, Pasay, Rizal , facing the picturesque Manila Bay, the scene of nature's beauties and witness of many a critical event in the annals of Philippine history. Mr. Legarda was for nearly three years the Vice-Consul and the Acting Consul-General for the Republic of Nicaragua in Manila. The honour first came in 1932 when Don Vicente was called upon to represent with glory to himself and with pride to his country the Central American Republic of Nicaragua in Manila as Acting Consul-General-a unique distinction not given to every Filipino. On August 10, 1£133, Mr. Legarda received a very pleasant surprise when the Hon. Trinidad E. Lacayo, Consul·General for Nicaragua in M"anila, Hongkong and Canton, called on Mr. Legarda at the latter's home in Pasay unannounced and delivered into his hands a letter signed by the Hon. Leona\do Argiiello, Minister of Foreign Relations of the Republic of Nicaragua, ad· vising Mr. Legarda of his ap,?ointment by the Pres· ident of Nicaragua as Vice·Co'nsul for Nicaragua in Manila. On April 13th, 1934, Mr. Legarda received from the Legation of Nicaragua at Washington, D. C., his "Exequatur" signed by the President of the United States, Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt, as of February 5th, 1934. Mr. Legarda is really a man of the world, erudite in all he does. As a 'Triter, who can excel the vigorous sweep of thought, t he simple style and the Kipling.like contracts delicately and subtly dis· !played in his philosophic essay entitled EE Lujo illata (Luxury Kills). Did not many a writer in the Island pronounce it "unexcelled", "unsurpassed". But one should not wonder so much at this. Be· cause way baek in 1904 to 1909 Mr. Legarda edited the first Filipino Magazine in Berkeley, California, .called "The Philippine Review", both in English and in Spanish. Such is the l'esult of hi s untiring industry, his sterling character, his rugged honesty, which like the Rock of Gibraltar, formidably withstands all rains and storms, the most stupendous inclemencies of the weather.

Immaculately dressed, sparing of words, and with a keen perception or mind, Mr. Legarda stands as the supreme example of industry, the fountain of all progress and prosperity. LEI A. LIM & COMPANY

PHILIPPINES Construction work at Lepanto preparatory to the erection of the mill has advanced rapidly during

the past two months, according to reports recently issued by officials of Nielson and Company, Inc., managers of the property. A large bodega and office buildings have been completed. Quarters have been erected to take care of the skilled laborers who are now working on the property and an assay laboratory and staff quarters are under construction and will be completed shortly,

At the present time, no development work is being carried on as there is cnough orc in sight to keep the mill in operation for some time after it has been erected. Experimental work on this ore has shown that it is readily amendable to the flotation process and therefore a mill of this type has been ordered from the United States through local suppliers of mill equip.ment by Nielson and Company, Inc. The ore which is brought from the mine will be dumped directly over a three inch grizzly into a 24" x 36" Allis-Chalmers jaw crusher which will reduce the rock to a maximum three inch size. After being crushed, the ore will be deliveJ;ed onto a sorting belt where laborers will sort out the waste or nonmineral bearing rock. The co,\veyor will then deliver the ore bearing rock to a %" Allis-Chalmers vibrating screen. The undersize or material which passes through the screen will be delivered to a 1000 ton mill ore bin. The oversize material will be fed to a 4 foot Simmons cone crusher which will reduce the ore to a minus %" mesh. This crushed material will likewise be delivered into the 1000 ton ore bin. Material will be taken from the ore bin and fed to the fine grinding and flotation circuits. These circuits consist of two identical units. Here, the proper reagents are added which separates the commercial minerals from the waste rock. Each unit consists of an 86 Marcy Ball mill in closed circuit with a rake type classifier. The overflow from this classifier is sent directly to the flotation machines in which the actual process of the concentration of the minerals is carried out. From the flotation cells, the concentrate will be filtered. dried and sacked for shipment. The rejects from these cells will be discharged as waste. The concentrates will be hauled to San Fernando, La Union, where it will be shipped by steamer to the smelters. If normal conditions prevail, the mill should be in operation by late spring of next year. Power for operations will be furni shed by three 420

h.p. Diesels and General Electric generators. The property will be independent of any outside power supply. The Allis-Chalmers jaw crusher will be the largest of its type in the Islands. The ball mills are the same size as those used at Masbate Consolidated. The above mill will be able to treat between three and four hundred tons of ore per day. The board of directors of Lepanto consists of C. A. DeWitt, head of the Law firm of DeWitt, Perkins and Enrile, who is president; George T. Scholey, head of the engineering department of Nielson and Company, Inc., who is vice-president; V. E. Lednicky, mining engineer; V. H.

The original property of the Luzon Consolidated Mines & Co., Inc. was personally prospected by Mr. Kagahastian and his men in 1934 following staking, registration and sUl,"veying by a Deputy Mineral Surveyor of t he claims consisting of 118 chromite mineral claims and fr0T1\. that preliminary prospecting the property has never been abandoned up to the present. Serious difficulties has been encountered during such preliminary prospecting because the place had never been touched nor did exist any trails. Mr. Kagahastian said that when he went the first

time to the place from the town of Santa Cruz, Zambales, four days walk was required. Following to that personal sacrifice of Mr. Kngahastian his plan was to continue the exploration works even at his personal expense to assure the possibility of the property before organizing a corporation, and he had invested thousands of pesos before the organization of the actual corporation. Having been discovered that the claim located was a promising property Mr. Kagahastian tried to invite some Filipino capitalists in the City to form with him a corporat ion for the development and exploration of said property but at his deep regret each and everyone refused to form such corporation with him. Only after he had exhausted efforts to attract said Filipino capitalists, Mr. Kagahastian, decided to organize the Luzon Consolidated Mines & Co., Inc. inviting to join him particularly the actual Secretary-Treasurer, Mr. Ambrosio Pablo and Vice-President Dr. E. S. Hernandez and others as can be seen in the following paragraphs of this statement. The idea of Mr. Kagahastian in inviting prominent Filipino capitalists was for certain indication of his friends that in the matter of the ol'ganization

PHlLIPPlNES of n mining corporation it is important that among the incorporators be included some well-known capitalists to attract the public investors, in spite that the insinuation or these general belief up to the present time is absolutely contrary tc. the belief of Mr. Kagahastian, taking into consideration that according to reliable information sqme of these capitalists generally agree to be incorporators under ce l~ta i n consideration that they do not invest any centavo (rom their own pocket and they will be allowed to have shares at the expenses of the principal organizer and claim owners and Mr. Kagahastian said that such system is contrary to the business ethics and the corporation so organized, would he dangerous to the interest of the same corporation and stockholders as D whole. Mr. Kagahastian's opinion is that the organizers of a corporation must have trust on their proper capacity and ability to handle the corporation by themselv~. Otherwise they will begin with a false foundatton. As stated above the Luzon Consolidated Mines & Co., Inc. was organized by Mr. Kagahastian \vith the cooperation of Messrs. PaJj~o and H ernandez in the City of Manila on Feb. 9, 1935 with the following incorporators; R. Kagahastian, Amb. Pablo, Marta M. de Guinto, E. S. Hernandez, A. V. F ernandez, J. A. Baes-·wlth thll initial rapital of P250,000.01.1 divided into 25,000,000 sha:.;es at par value of PO.01 each, registered l'he inr:orporati1)n paper':! in the Bureau of Commerce on February 12, 19::15, and pel'mission to offer the shares to the publ ic was granted by the Insular Treasurer on February 23, 1935. The incorporatol's were elected first directors and !)ITicials of the cOI'poration composing of the following; R. Kagahastian, Pnz /Jident and Ge'1e)'ul Manage) .. Dr. E. S. Hernandez, Vice-PreBident. Marta M. de Guinto, Mem.ber. Antonio V. Fernandez, Member. Ambrosio Pablo, Membet·, Secret'lry-Trcu lwrer. At the time of incorporation the Company had as original property the above mentivlled 118 chromite mineral claims. On December 17, 1935, four claims inside the original claims were added making a total of 122 chromite mineral claims. On September 29, 1936 the Board of Directors had decided definitely to take another chromite group known as Tayabense groups consisting of 70 and regular claims added to the property of the Company so that the actual total property under operation by

the Luzon Cons. Mines & Co., Inc. arc 192 I'egular ehromite minel'al claims containing 1,728 hectares and according to the consulting engineer's report of June 4, 1936 a pOl·tion of only about 100 hectares of the property out of 1,728 hectare!; there arc already blocked ore of high quality 200,000 tons and about 5,000 tons is ready for shipment not included with such blocked ore several another deposits dis..::overed within the propel·ty. At the general meeting of the cOl'poration, March 1936, the members of the Boa rd of DiI'ectors were reorganized succeeding Mr. Fernandez as member of the Board 1\lr. Uy Chaw Ku i, the general manager of Mariano Uy Chaco & Sons and all others was l·eclected. 1hs. Marta 1\1. de Guinto died on March 21, 1936 thus leaving one vacancy in the Board of Directors. Wi th the first capitalization of P250,000.00 the Company was criticized by some miners in the city stating that the Luzon Consolidated l\lines & Co., Inc. cannot succeed in its mining activity be('ause the Company is managed by Filipinos nnd they will need to constl"Uct a road from the provincial road of Zambales the mines to the extent of about 20 or, more kilometers besides the necesity of constructing proper pier at Lacupan Bay f.:>r the facilities of transportation and loading of the ore, installation of a proper laboratory in the mines and other important neces~iti (:s for the proper development of the property; but against these criticisms made by our colleague in the field of mining enterprises strict economic expenses had been adopted, ~acl'ifice of its officials in the matter of sal aries the management was able to open a road from the provincial road of Zambales to the farthest points within the properLy with a branch to the north deposits in the extent of about 32 kilometers of 4 meters width and the trucks of the Company today can easily approach the center of said property; having at the same time installed a modern laboratory in the mines; an emel'gency hospital now under the supervision of Dr. Abanilla with a nurse as his a ssistant; bunk houses for the employers and laborers staff house in the mines and pier in the Lucapon Bay is actually finished . In addition, 5 principal bridges and more than 170 culverts are constructed along the r oad. Our adjoining company in the north, the Acoie l\Iinin~ Co. under Marsman & Co., management is actually benefited by our road have been obtained from Luzon Cons.

food supplies up to kilometer 24 using a truck three trips a week, pending negotiation for the permanent use of about 24 kilometers of the road under rental basis. The capital of the Company was increased from P250,OOO.OO to P2,250,OOO.OO thru a special meeting held on Sept. 22, 1936 and had the following program of activities: 1. To develop intensively the whole area of chromite property in ZambaleSj 2. To install, as permanent and morc economical system of transportation of the ore, a skyline of about 12 kilometers; 3. To install, as the first step for acquiring high price of chromite ore abroad, a concentrating plant, and eventually when so justified to convert it into a smelting plant to produce ferro-chrome; 4. To. acquire gold, iron, copper and other important mining properties; 5. To organize a consulting geologist and mining engineer's Office as technical advisers of the Company. 6. To exploit in commercial scale the abundant timber not needed in the mine, on the actual property in Zambales and other fore t products. (1) In regard to gold mine, the Board of Directors has already taken step By entering into option contract with the claim owners of the following properties: (1) Volunteers Group in Moun<..ain Province; (2) Eastern Itogon droup in Mountain Province; (3) Sagpllt Group; Kibufigan, Benguet; (4) Silao Gold Mining Association and Gan-

lang properties, Bulacan; and (5) Gold and copper, in Zambales Province.

Timber License has already be~n granted by the Bureau of Fores try and step taken fl'l' the installation of a saw mill in Lucapon. At the last annual meeting of the stockholders held on March 6, 1937 were electerl the following members of the Board of Directors: Raymundo Kagahastian (reelected), Leopoldo R. Aguinaldo (new). Hon. Pedro Guevara (new), Up Chaw Kui (reelected) and in the inaugural meeting of the above members, were elected officials the following: Raymundo Kagahastian, Pres. & General Manager, Hon. P edro Guevara, Vice-President, and AmbroSio Pablo, See.Treasurer & Assistant Manager. The Company began shipment of chrome ore for Japan on "S. S. Haguru Maru" in February 14-17

of this year and on "S. S. Taiwan" for Europe in Feb. 23, 1937. Next shipment shall be for Japan again, New York and Europe. Several offers received by the Company to buy entire production is under consideration of the Board of Direetors. Annual Report as of December 31, 1936: Two years ago in even date of 1934 your ~ompany or the Luzon Consolidated Mines Co., Inc., was a dream in the mind of its organizers, but than!:s to their perseverance and confidence of its originnl stockholders, ninety nine per cent (99 % ) of which are Filipino mining investors, it was made a reality, a true mining company, when in a spccial meeting held on September 22, 1936, the initial capitalizt.tion of Pesos 250,000.00 was increased by Pesos 2,000,000.00 more divided into 200,000,000 shares at the par value of one centavo (Pesos 0.01) each, so thRt the total ca· pitalization today of your company is Pesos 2,250,000.00 or 225,000,000 shares; and that additional permit to sell the increased shares to the public has been obtained from the Insular Treasurer on October 26, 1936. Sale of stock of the first capitalization was closed, about August, 1936, followed immediately by the rise of its par value to five centavos or more each without listing it in the stock market. Our stock was only listed in the market in the opening of business of the International Stock Exchange. It is planned also to list it on Manila and Central Stock Exchanges. On the last annual report it appeared that prop· erty of your company consists only of 122 regular chromite mineral claims with an aggregated area of 1,098 hectares, but later on you!' Board of Directors had acquired additional property, known as "Tayabense Chromite Group" adjoining in the South with previous property consisting of 70 regular chromite mineral claims, so t he actual property of your company in chr omite alone is 192 regular chromite mineral claims with a total area of 1,728 hectares.

The Company is now in a position to enter into contl'aets, and as soon as the road and pier are ready, to ship chromite are. 'l'his report has for its main pUl'pose the estimation of the quantity of chl'omitc arc already proven. I n these calculations only positive are was included, The following al'e the assumptions on which those estimates arc based. One (1) cubic meter of chl'omitc ore in place weighs Foul' (4) Tons. Generally 25 meters from samples were allowed for positive ore. That is, that it is reasonable to expect a lens of chl'omite to extend at least 25 meters, from all eXJlosure 01' outcrop. EVC1'Y exposure of chromite has been considered orc, because the laboratory is not ready yet and analyses are lacking.

Calculation of T~nnage: Lo-G-De-posits. About 50 meters to the north of Lo-4 is a trench across a ridge which disclosed an ore body about 2 meters wide. Preliminary shafts have been driven on the ridge both below and above the trench which showed encouraging results walTant"ng further systematic exploration and development. There may be parallel lenses which should increase th\ tonnage.

The bottom of the trench is still in solid ore and it is pl'obable that a big tonnage may be developed here. Instructions have been given to the Asst. Supt. regarding the development of this solid body of chl'omitc. Not very far from these deposits were also discovered 3 big lenses of chromite which have not bl'en completely exposed.

PHILIPPINES RepoJ't of the O,'fll'atiolls of the Uu'Zon COJ/soli-

dated Mines Co., Inc., By Dr. A. D. Al'llil' of AlviJ' & Co. /7le. Consultants,' This report includes all the operations for the last year including all the work of development and the work on the transportation facilities. A g reat amount of superficial work has been done in Malimlim which, aided by the r ecent typhoons, has exposed a large tonnage of chromite ore. Prospeeting and exploration work at Kiskis and Nydia have disclosed considerable amounts of chromite float and also chromite in place. With the estab路 lishment of a chemical laboratory, nnnlyses on these ores have been made and the results have been very gratifying. A great deal of work has been done on the road so that trucks can now reach the camp at BanIag, the Kiskis deposits and the camp at Malimlim. Only portions of this road have to be surfaced yet. At Lucapon a ramp ana a pier have been built for loading chra:mite into the lighters. Ore is now being bI'ought h'om Kiskis to the pier and a considerable number 0 tons are aiready at the pier. Better houses are 'now being built in the camps and a physician is s~tioned to take care of the health and sanitary cond~ ions, With this set up, the time is at hand for making the first shipments of ore, A preliminary estimate of positive and probable ore made by the undersigned, without taking into consideration the analyses of the ore, gave approximately 200,000 tons. ThPcre were in the bodegas about 3,000 tons of chromite. Another group called the "Tayabense" in which some big outcrops of chromite have been exposed has also been taken over by the corporation. Malimlim:-A truck road has l'pached Malimlim right up to Tunnel D-l so that when production starts haulage by trucks is now possible. Tunnel D-l has been continued to meet Tunnel D-8 from the other side. This tunnel will serve the purpose of hauling chromite from the other side of the mill to where the trucks can load. Both tunnels crosscut lenses of chromite. Trenches, shafts and opencuts made in Malimlim have developed a considerable amount of ore the analysis of which, according to the chemist, Mr. Eubl\nas, ra nges between 34% and 54 % . Recent typhoons have sb.路ipped the mantle soil and more bodies of chromite weI'e exposed. Some of these ores occur as lenses, but the majority arc irregular bodies on which more work will have to be done especially as regards depth or thickness so that quantity of positive ore could really be calculated. Hand in

287

hand with this work a very close sampling should be done to determine the grade of ore. At this very moment 5 engineers of Alvir & Co. under the direction of Mr. V. J. Lynch are doing this work of valuation, so that the estimates in quantity and quality of ore will be reported on after the termination of this work. Kiskis; - A branch road has ail'eady reached Kiskis and some of the ore has already been hauled to the pier at Lucapon. There arc about 2,000 tons of high-grade ore in bodegas at Kiskis. All this production eame from loose fragments of chromite imbedded in the soil. It is suspected and this has been shown because of several b.路enches, opencuts and shafts, that t.here is a considerable amount of this loose chromite ore imbedded in the mantle soil covering the hill. It is recommended that s.t1"ipping of the hillsi de be started, not only for the purpose of producing ore, but also with the end in view of exposing the bedrock so that the suspected source of the chromite ore may be found. At Kiski;;. the ore analizes an average of 50 % Cr~O~. Nydia:-A short distance from Kiski s in the Nydia claim a big mass of chromite about 3 meters wide and 5 meters long with an unknown depth, has been exposed. The analyses went to about 53 % . For the present, due to the lack of a road, no more work should be done on this outcrop. The company has built a staff house of stl'vng materials, an emergency hospital also of sb.路ong materials, and bunk houses for laborers . A small generator connected to the engine of the chemical labo~ ratory supplies light f01" the l\Ialimlim camp. At the Banlag camp the bunk houses are also being repaired. At Lucapon the company has hired a house which is being used as Offices and bodega. A resident physician looks after the health and sanitation of the different camps. So fal' malaria cases are not indigenous to the regior., but are always brought in from other places. Otherwise health conditions are very satisfactory. The road is already passable by trucks from Lucapon to l\falimlim, 26 kilometers long and from Km. 22 to Kiskis a branch 2 kilomters long. Much of the road is surfaced, but there is still a good deal of surfacing to do. A big number of laborers are working on the road so as to fini sh the surfacing in the shortest time possible. A fleet of 16 trucks, which will soon be 20, is now transporting chromite fl'om Kiskis to the pier of I:.ucapon. Negotiations are still pending for the use of the road by the Acoje

&

Mining Co. which I am sure will be terminated within a short time, as it will be beneficial to both companies. The pier at Lucapon Bay ahout 45 meters away from the bodega is already finished and at present a railroad system is being installed f~r loading the chromite ore into lighters. The steamers will anchor about 60 meters from the end of the pier. The bodega in Lucapon is estimated to accommodate 5,000 tons of chromite ore. The management is planning to add about 10 trucks for the transportation of chromite ore by contract in addition to the trucks of the company in order to meet U:e preliminary contracts. Based upon the preliminary valuation report by the Consulting Engineel' dated June 4, 1936, quoted above, "that your company has already blocked out about 103,600 tons of positive ore and that there are another 101,000 tons of probable ore," and taking into account the prevailing market pri('e of this metal in the United States ~blished by "Metal & MineraI Markets," which gives ordinarily $16.75 to $17.00 a ton for 45 at 47 per cent Cr10 J and $19.00 to $19.50 a ton for 48 % at 50 ~ Cr,O. contents, and that our ore gives about these vercentages according to several analysis reports from the Bureau of Science of samples submitted an,d from those run at our own Assaying Office in the mine; and having in mind by the Board of Directors of your company that it is just and ]·easonable to give "premium" in the form of shares of stock in favor of the stockholders of the origial capitalization :\t the rate of 2 to 1 in consideration to their full confidence and cooperation extended which made it possible the company's actual promising po.sition in its activities, it was one of the principal purposes of having increased the capitalization to provide shares to cover the issuance of such premium, even under EsCl'OW Certificate, the release of which in active shares will be made, naturally, upon the approval of the proper authorities. Such approval will be based on the final valuation of the actual ore discoveries of commercial value properly blocked out as verified by the Bureau of Mines. However, our Consulting Engineer, because of shortage of technical men has not been able to prepare the valuation sheets in spite of several request made by your management to run as soon as possible said valuation so that the Bureau of Mines could decide this important matter. The valuation, however is actually being undertaken by five mining engineers of

INDUSTRIAL MANUAL Alvir & Co., Inc., and it is expected to finish it by the end of Jan., 1937, and ready for s ubmittal to the Director of the Bureau of Mines. Other important purposes of the recapitalization of your company follows: (a) To undertake intensive prospecting, exploration, development and production of chromite ore over 192 mineral claims mentioned above; (b) To complete the metaiization of the main road of 26 kilometers and its branch •.'s opened with 4 meters wide from the provincial rond to the main Camp at Malimlim so that it can resist heavy traffic for trucks transporting our production at all times of the year; (c) To complete the installation of telephone line as a rapid communication systtlm from our Branch Office No.1 at Lucapon to different offices at the mine, Road Gates. etc.; (d) To acquire more trucks for the transportation of our production up to a fleet of 20 trucks at least; (e) To extend our Pier in Lucapon to a point with apout 32 feet of water deep so that steamer in the fu~ure can berth at the Pier; and to complete the actual Bodega of chrome ore with a capacity of about 6,000 tons; (of) To install a Belt Conveyor from Bodega at Lucapon and over the pier for rapid and economical system of loading to the steamer and consequently to instal Electric Power Plant not only for such Belt Conveyor but also to light the place and offices; (g) If satisfied by the result of intensive prospecting of chromite property and after full discus· sion with our technical staff, to acquire and install either right! in the mine or in Lucapon Bay a Concentrating P lant for the concentration of the ore before shipment so that we can raise its percentage and consequently to obtain the highest possible mar· ket price. (h) To extend activities of the company in other mines such as in Gold, Copper, Iron, Manga. nese and other metals for thc benefit of the stockholders of the Luzon Consolidated Mines Co., Inc., and to hire services of experienced mining engineers and geologists from abroad for the organization of a proper staff of technical men at the disposal of the Company, who can serve as advisers to the Board of Directors and management at any time, as well as in the direction and supervis ion of all mining activties of the Company.


PHILIPPINES Option to Gold PrOIJ6l'tisB:-ln regard to gold mine, your Board of Directors has already taken step by entering into option contract with the claim owners of the following properties:

(1) Volunteers Group in Mountain Province; (2) Eastern ltogan Group in Mt. Province; (3) Sagpat Group, Kibungan, Benguet;

(4) Silao Gold Mining Association and Ganlang Group properties, Bulaean Province; and (5) Gold and copper, in Zambales P rovince. Volunteers and Eastern Groups in Mountain Province have been recently inspected by Mr. Juan S. Teves of Alvir & Co., Inc., report of which is hel'cinunder quoted. Volunteer8 Group:-Flont is abundant in the

area.

More veins would be exposed it proper pros-

pecting is carried ouh It is recommended, therefore, that more prospec\ing be made as the physiographic as well as the geologic conditions warrant it. This group, known as the Volunteers Group, consists of 42 gold lode claims, is located in the sitios of Sudukan and Bakyan, barrio of Camo, municipality of Bokod, sub-province of Benguet, Mountain Province. It is bounded on the north by the Pioneer Mining Group, on the cas by Public Lands, on the south by the Philippine Amalgamated, Bolo, and Pokeado Gl'OUPS, and on the west by Poodan Group. It can be l'eached by automobile, via the Mountain Trail, as far as the suspension bridge on the Agno at barrio Ambuklao, where an apparently abandoned automobile road is followed for 10 kilometers to the town of Bokod. From this place a trail, not less than 8 kilometers long, stal'ts in an easterly direction to the property,

This group is located in the Cordillera Centra\ of Luzon. The region is in its topogr.aphic youth characterized mainly by V-shaped, stepsided valleys. The surface is rough and has an average relief of some 200 meters. Rapids and falls are abundant. The area is drained by several creel~s the most important of which al'C the Bolo, Boong, and Sayaan, all branches of the Bokort and Sayaan rivers. The predominant formations are andesites which are fine to medium grained, and andesite agglomerates, These are jointed, thc predominant direction of joints being NE and which varies to I'll 路 most EW. These are also the strikes of the veins

289

that were found, Thcse joints are cut across by less important ones. Veins and Outcrops:- Sample No, 1 is a grayish quartz vein material about a foot thick, It strikes N 34 0 W and is almost horizontal having an east dip of 10掳. This assays $0.4 1 per to n. Sample No.2 almost massive quartz with iron stains and some pyrites. It is morc than 4 feet thick striking N 33 0 W. It is almost vertical. About 10 meters below this is another vein 3 feet thick striking N 330 E, No sample was taJ.:en from this. Sample No.2 a ssays $0.21 per ton, Sample No.3 is a grayish vein material with pyrites. It is mOl'e than 3 feet thick and strikes N 49 0 E, This veill was faulted, the dil'ection of the fault being S 62 0 W, This assays $0.31 per ton. A good stand of pine trees form for the most part forests from which lumber for mining purposes may be obtained. There is also an area of high altitude forest but the trees cannot very well serve the purpose a s they are composed mostly of stunted trees. Water for mining may be obtained from the creeks, but it is doub t ful if the amount will be enough so that the utilization of t he Sayaan river is recommended, The Eastern /togon G1'o!tp:-This gl'OUP of 43 gold lode claims is located in the sitio of Soybu, barrio of Banao, municipality of Hogon, sub-province of Benguet, Mountain Province. It is bounded on the north by the Santa Group, n il the east by Yangyang rice field and public lands, on the south by the Agpao Group and on the west by the Binga rice fields and Bias Cogney. This property can be reached by automobile from the City of Baguio via the Itogan road as far as the fourth gate adjacent to the property of the Twin Rivers, Inc, From this place a trail on the north bank and parallel to the course of the l'iver is followed up to the group. This di stllnce is about seven kilometers. The area included in the property is in the Cordillera Central of Luzon in a region of young topography. The valleys are steepsided and V-shaped. The surfacc configuration is rough with an average relief of more than 300 meters. The important high points are the Soybu, Bingaan, and Inuman. The area is drained by several cl'eeks which are branches of the Agno and the Bedeng rivers. The creeks are swift and abound in rapids and waterfaUs, The most important are the Soybu, Bedeng, Dalangan,

On March 24, 1903 the Municipal Board of the city of Manila granted to Mr. Charles M. Swift, a franchise to operate an electric street railroad and to furnish electric current for light, heat and power in the city of Manila and its suburbs. Raising the necessary capital in America and Europe, Mr. Swift formed the Manila Electric Railroad and Light Company. The new company contracted with J. G. White & Company of New York to construct the system, and Jater to act as operating managers. The old Spanish horse tl'amway company, "Tranvia de Pi· lipinas," and the electric light company, "La Electl'icista", were both purchased. Service to the city of Manila was continued through the old " La Electl'icista" plant until a new power house was completed in 1904 In April 1905 the present electric street railway system was inaugurated. The Manila Electric Railroad and Lighting Cor· pOl'ation, the Manila Suburban Railways Company, and the Union Tl'uck Company were operating companies in the Philippines prior to 1919, when the Manila Electric Company was incorporated. From 1919 to 1921 the Manila Electric Company operated these three companies under lease and in 1921 the assets of these compan ies were sold to Manila Elec· tric Company, and the other companies were dis· solved. In 1925 the Associated Gas & Electl'ie System acquired control of the Manila Electric Company, although J. G. White & Company continued as ope· rating managers. In Hl27 the Company began to expand its ligh t and pow!.'r service to the provinces, and purchased various isolated plants. In May 1931 the Company's hydro-electric plant at Botocan was completed and put into service. This plant has a capacity of 17,000 kilowatts and is connected to Manila by a 66 mile 110,000 volt transmission line. The Company's steam generating plant at the present time has a capacity of 29,500 kilowatts. The Company operates 18 plants located throughout the island of Luzon. The total capacity of all plants is 48,600 kilowatts. Including the Botocan line, the Company operates 1140 miles of transmission line and 39 outdoor substations. The progress and expansion of the Company is best indicated by the


PHILIPPINES fact that today it sel'ves approximately 120,000 customers in comparison with 3,000 customers in 1905. The Transportation Department has kept step with the other branches of the services and today operates 125 buses, 109 passenger street cars, and 10 trolley buses as against approximately 55 street cars in 1906.

The general business trend of the country during 1936 unqucstionably showed a decided improvement which I'cached the bcst level since U129. The hotel busine!;'s obtained its share as evidenced by the increased volume of trade throughout the year and indications are such that this upward rise may continue for some time to come. Unlike the previous years when the major hotels in the city depended to a gl'eat extent on tourists and commercia1 travelers from abroad, in 1936 local trade played a big part in the bus iness life of these hotels since the mining boom started eal'l~' in the year. This was particularly noticeable dUring the usual slack months when provincial visitors to Manila increased considerably and catering business ex<'ceded prcvious years' records.


THE COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL MANUAL

Comparutive statistics !;how that during the slack period (April to September) last year, business increased from two to six-fold, registering unprecedented profits for those months, whereas in 11I'cviolls years the Company pl'actically covered the operating expenses only or sustained big losses. Ta1.:ing t he banner year 1929 1\5 an illustration, the Company showed a loss for the month of J une, while the combined net p r ofits fol' the six slack months amounted to only P37,130.36. 011 the other hand, in 1936 the total net profit for the same period reached the record amount of 1)62,095.89 and no loss was registered for any si ngle month. The outstandtng f.eaL\ll'~ of 1936 operations was the \lnusua!1y JU)'ge gross income derived from resunln'lIlt business which excelled all previous records. No doubt the constmetion of the Oak Room, an nir-eond~tioned private dining-room, has proven a great success, not only as a delhthtful ami comfortable plac;}vor holding parties but both as a source of revenues 'and as a place of distinction which nttl'aets high-class patr onage. Likewise, t he improvement of the dining, pavilion and extension of its terrace made it possible to accommodate more people and served a lso as nother attraction for diners and pavilion patr ons. In spite of the heavy financing involved in the construction of the one-million-peso air-conditioned annex now nearing completion l the financial condition of the Company remains stable. With the present cash ouUay in the banks the Company will be able to complete and fully equip the enth'e annex without the necessity for outside financial assistance. PROf' IT AN D Loss STATEMEN T The total gross revenues for the yeal was 1l978,S 12.67 as compared with 1'909,675.51 for 1935, an increa!'e of 1'69,137.16 01' 7.60 pel' cen t.

The illl'lrel\sE. in operating expenses consisH. mainly of the increases in p rovisions consumed, depreciation of furnishings and equipment, income tux, music aJ! d enter tainment, generul 0 1' administmtion expenses, and' the bonus given the hotel employees, all of which nm('lunting to over 1'52,000.00. J ~ .may be stated that t he increases on iten\s Pl'OYISIOnS consumed" and "music and entertainment" were mel. a nd j ustified by the increase in g l'oJ':!\ income, while the depreciation c h a rge~ were on f urnishing and equipment acqui red during the year, most of which, however, have not been aet.uall" used until t.he pI'esent year . The income tax creaJ':ed ]00 pel' cent as provided for in the new law. The expenses for the five-month trill of the Managing Director to the United States as au t.hol'ized by the Board, the fu ll year operation of the Manila Hotel Travel Bureau, as well as the bonus g ranted the hotel employees, may be regarded as extl'aol'dinRry expenses against 1036 opel'ations under gener al or administration expenses.

With the exception of t he year 1929 when the Company realized a ,'ecord profit of P19S,061.18, the year 1£136 was the best si nce the opening of the hotel and could have easily made over P200,000.00 mark h ad it not been fot' the extraordinary expenses mentioned in the preceding paragraph . 1)!PIlO"";MENTS A~D Bt.."1'TER:-'I EN TS

DIll'ing t.he year severnl majol' projects in the improvement progl'am of the Company were carried Ollt. The construction of the new concrete annex a!\ nn extension of the wing facing the bav was started in February ancl will be completely fini shed about April of the present yea r. The entire building, including the air_conditioning system , all equipment and furni shings will cost approximatel)' nl'oum! PI ,000,000,00.


PHILIPPINE, This new addition being entirely air-conditioned ;md equipped wilh high-I路lass furnishings and equipment, the accommodations offered therein undoubtedly can be compared with any of the first-class hotels abroad, pP.l'iiculudy in this part of the world. There lHC nine 3-room de luxe suites, bes;des the Pent House or Presidential Sllitc. in differcflt !ledod and moderll decomtions.

Total number of bedrooms, sixty-seven, including parlors, all with private baths, besides the other accommodations in the penthouse and on the ground and mezzanine floors.

In view of the undesimble location of t he six bedrooms of the mez7.nnine flool' of the main buildin~ facing Manila Bay, it was decided to include these I'ooms in the ail'-conditioning system of the Bonnex, necessitllting the remodeling of same so as to c(lnform with the standard of the bedrooms in the new annex. The result was t.hat these rooms al'e now as desirable as any of the other rooms as the noise fl'om the pavilion and kitchen has bE-en eliminated by having the same air-conditioned. Because of the inndeC"juacy of the s pace l:nd inco nvenience in operating the air-conditioning machinery in the! basement of the anllex as ol'iginal_ !~, proposed , it was found practical to constr uct a separate building to hOltsc the machinery e'1uipment and the main electric sw itch board panel. This bu ilding' is now know n as " Power House" which, as the plans cOlltemplate, can be extended so as to provide a space for a power plant in case the necessity for the same arises in the future, A pOl'ti,)tl of the real' part of th is building is being utilized now as garbuge deposit which fully answers the pm'pose both in sanitation a nd convenience. An appl'opl"iation of '路10,000.00 was authorized for the construction of this building, Another important project pushed in 1936 was the app'l 'oval of the plan s and specifications for the much needed boys' quarters, work shops and store-rooms, all in one building of two floors-the upper floor to hou se the hotel help, clinic and dispensary, ward fo r sick employees and a study room; the j!'rollnd floor to ])\'ovide boys' mess and kitchen, work shops, storerooms, watchmen or s pecial police station, and a s pacious room for a gymnasium for hotel guests, For this constrllction, the Board of DiI'ectors set aside an appropriation of P40,000,OO sometime la st December. The construction is now going on and is expected to be completed about the later part of April this yenr. Other improvements accomplished during t.he year are: (1) tiling and extension of the dining pavilion; (2) construction of a modern band stand, replaCing the antiquated one; (3) replacement of or repait's to media-aguas around the building ; and (4) overhauling of electric wiring th r oughout the building. In line with the recommendat.ion made in last year's repor t wit.h regard to extension of hotel service in the country, a proposition was submitted sometime last year to the effect that a small hotel

The foregoing clauses shall be construed both as objects and powers and it is hereby expressly provided that the foregoing enumeration of specific powers shall not be held to limit or restrict in any manner the general powers of the corpOl路ation. THE MAN I LA RAILROAD COMPANY The Manila Rni~rond Company operates the only system of steam railway lines on the island of Luzon, the largest island of th.e Philippine Group, with an area of approximately 4.1,000 square miles and a present population of about 8,000,000 inhabitants. These lines directly serve 13 out of the 23 principal provinces of Luzon and indirectly the majority of the remaining provinces by m..eans of highway bus lines either operated by the Company or independently owned. The Company also serves the isolated region of the East Coast of Luzon by two modern motor vessels. The main railroad line extends from San Fernando, Province of La Union, to Legaspi, Provincc of Albay, a distance of 740 kilometers, with the exception I}f a gap of 39.5 kilometers in Camarines Sur now under construction, and a number of branch lines connect adjacent districts with the Main Line, the total length of all railroad lines being 1,184 kilometers. The most important highway subsidiar y of the Company connects the main railway line with Baguio, the summer capital of the P hilippines. Baguio, at an elevation of 5,000 feet above sea level, has a superb climate and is the center of a very rapidly developing go!d mining district. The nucleus of the present railway system was the line from Manila to Dagupan, Pangasinan, a syndicate that had been granted a concession by the distance of 195 kilometers, constructed by an English Spanish Government in 1887, and which was completed on November 24, 1892. Seven-hundred sixtysix kilometers of new lines were built since the American Occupation up to the time the ownership of the Company was acquired by the Philippine Government in January, 1917. Subsequent to that time,

JIJ

223 kilometers of additional lines have been constructed. The tl'ack has a gauge of 3 feet 6 inches and the standard weight of rail is 65 pounds to the yard. The three staple agricultural products of Luzon -rice, sugar-cane and coconut products-are the most important traffic items of the Railroad, supplemented by lumber , other forest products, hemp, tobacco and manufactures. During the last ten years, an average of about 8,200,000 passengers and 1,800,000 ton of freight were carried by the Railroad . The railway equipment consists of 161 locomotives of all types, 208 passenger coaches, foul' of which including a dining ear, are fitted with air conditioning equipment, 2,095 freight cars, 32 rail motor cars, 40 rail motor car trailers and 194 cars of miscellaneous ty pes. Thirty of the passenger locomotives are equippcd for burning oil as fuel. Limited express trains are oper ated over the main lines, the deluxe train catering to Baguio traffic carrying air conditioned coaches, affording year-round comfortable facilities in this tropical country, and a daily night express train is run from Manila to the southern main line terminal, where a ferry boat makes connection with the northern terminal of the line in the Sicol provinces. The Spanish influence with its ch3l'acteristic architecture is still predominant in the cities and towns through which the trains pass and the Island of Luzon affords a continuous panorama to the traveler of imposing mountain peaks, extensivc cultivated plains, beautiful bays and inlets, all in a setting of luxurious tropical verdure. When the gap of about 39.5 kilometers under construction in Camarines Sur, is completed, it is planned through day limited express t r ains equipped with air conditioned dining car and first class coaches, in addition to large and very easy riding third class passengcr cal路S. The passenger service consists of fast limited express trains, local steam and rail motor trains. The low fares and dependabilitv of trains which run strictly on schedule have created a healthy travel habit among the inhabitants of the provinces directly and indi r edly scn'cd by the Manila Railroad. It is gradually being realized that bus service should also be offer\:d the large number of passengers who more and more show clear indications of desire to mnke frequent trips. The bus service of this Compa!'y now covers six thickly populated provinces.

THE l\[AN1LA STOCK EXCH ANGE The Manila Stock Exchange was formally organized August 10, 1937, fOI' the purpose of providing facilities fo r trading ill securit.ies, either local 01' fOI'eign in Manila. It s organizers were a gl'oup of pl'om:nent Manila businessmen: W. Eric Little, G. W. Mackay, J. J. Russell, W. P. E lliot, and F. W. Wakefield. At the time of organization there were no facilities for trading in seeul'it:es in Manila. All negotiations resulted one to five IJe r cent, with no establ ished rates. l\1any issues came into public view but seldom because of the lack of a public trading center. The Manila Stock Exchange thus came int.o being to fill a long-felt need. It was a non·stock CQrpo ation, and {.he by-law stated that a ll funds wer e to be used for the furth erance of the purposes of th~ exchange.

The first quarters of the Exchange were in a small office, In August, 1933 it was found necessary to move into larger rooms, and in October of the same year a whole floor of a building on the Escolta was secured. The expansion of mining and the accompanying great interest in mining shares made larger quarters imperati\'e, :lnd in April, 1937, the e."{change mO\'ed to new, modern quarters in Ma~ nila's newest and most modern office building, the S. J. Wilson Building, in the heart of Manila's finan· cia! and commercial district. Mining stocks first came into prominence about the m:ddle of 1933, when the increase in the price of gold to $35 gave a tremendous impetus to mining the world over. Mining companies SOOn applied for listing on the Manila Stock Exchange, and a healthy increase in business followed. Prices of seats on the excha~e have jumped enormously. When the Exchange was organizad it had 10 members, each paying Pesos 500 for his seat. I n March, 1932, a seat was sold fo< Pesos 1,500; in March, 1933, for Pesos 2,000; in October, 1933, for Pesos 3,000; in March, 1934, for ,Pesos 5,000; in November. 193 5, for Pesos 15,500; in A~gust, 1936, for Pesos 79,000 and for Pesos 80,000; in October, 1936, for Pesos 82,500; in November 1936, for Pesos 85,700. In April, 1937, the exchange created 15 new seats, and reduced the price of each seat to Pesos 45,000. Creation of the additional seats was accompanied by n distribution ot Pesos 675,000 in cash to the 30 members of the exchange, Pesos 22,500 each. Eight of the new seats were sold with:n a few months, and the remaining seven will probably be taken up by the end of the year. The new qual·ters of the Exchange are modern

in every respect. Trading procedUre is a unique and flexible combination of trading post and board operation methods. A ticker system has been installed, with t:ckers in the offices of member brokers throughout the city. Every attempt has been made to facilitate trading, and to simplify the mechanical end of brokerage. Likewise. the board of governors of the public. Requirements for listing are stringent, as are the requirements for membership in the exchange. The rules of the New York Stock Exchange have beCr'l followed in so far as possible, thus giving investors on this exchange the benefit of the long years of experience of t he New York organiza· tion. While mining shares are the main issues of interest, member of the exchange are in constant communication with financial centers of the world. Commercial stocks of Manila are listed on a se· parate board, while practically every broker mem· ber can handle orders for foreign stocks. All in all, the Manila Stock Exchange is the outstanding organization of its kind in the Far East, and occupies a position similar to that of other big exchanges in the world's trading centers.

Annual Report 1936 :-During the past twelve months, the program of mine development and mill expansion as outlined in th 1935 Annual Report was carried forward. Panique Mine;-The Panique Mine Develop· ment and prepartory work necessary to open new caving blocks was completed so thab the mine at present is capable of maintaining sufficient ton· nage to supply the mill at l'ate of 2,000 tons daily. Considerable difficulty was experienced early in the year in attempting to draw the desired ton· nage frm the 4 % level Wyoming caving stopes which had been successful in earlier operations on a small tonnage. This difficulty wns most serious and numerous raises ...vere run from the 600 level to draw the ca ....e above the 4% directly, in place of the previously planned arrangement of handling this ore from chutes on the H2 and scraping the rock to a system of co-ordinated raises. The early failure of this system to properly function resulted in the drawing of a large tonnage of undesirable material where individual l'aises holed t hrough to the surface and which lowered the grade of or~ and introduced ser ious difficulties in handling this clayey material in the plant. (New sections were opened in the Doris area and a propel' rystematic undercut caving system

325

was laid out by Messrs. Monahan , Booker, and Scanlon which has recently gone into operation with excellent results. 'Sw'face mi'ning and scraper operations have been canied Oil during the entire year, delivering a fair percentage of the total tonnage milled. A diesel operated '% yard Marion Shovel was placed into operation 2.uove the 300 level contour and has proven entirely satisfactory lowering the cost of former hand r:lining by over fifty percent. The grade of one from all surface operations was main· tained at the estimated figure, Development of the Breccia vein proceeded along with mining operations and has indicated a considerable increase in tonnage over that formerly estimated. A crossut has lately been completed to this vein on tho?; 600 level and drifting started to come under the strng section of this vein on the 41/.! level above. The Bin and Star Vein development on the 600 and 700 levels has been extended opening a minor tonnage between and above these levels in both virgin and previously stoped gl'ound. The 700 Main Cross·cut reached the Nancy l'eplacement ore-body which in part may be mined economically from the surface. Development and mining operations in the division have il'dicated a lower grade of ore than previously estimated but operations to date have also indicated substantially lower costs than were felt could be maintained. This has been due to an extremely efficient operation conductea by Mr. Colorado Superintendent. Ore Reservts :-Geo. Broomell, resident geolo· gist, has started a systematic geological mapping of both Panique and ColOl'ado and will have a detailed orc; reserve 1'el)Ort pl'cparecl 011 completion of this survey amI additional informative development work now in progress. Mill: - Mill construction propel' was complete<i early in September to enable the plant to hand le the scheduled 2,000 tons daily. A number of difficulties were encountered due as previously ~tated to excessive clayey material and to the failure of washing plant to function properly, These difficulties were reflected in higher costs and lowerea extraction. The flotation section designed to recover values from the washing plant slimes has given extremely low extraction and efforts are now being made to treat this mutatial in the slime plant directly, pend. ing the erection of further equipment to adequately handle this material.

THE COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL MANUAL

Further equipment is being installed to augment the precipitation and filtration sections and to r.-ive continued grinding operations. Five Marcy "86" mills have been installed, IouI' of which will be in continuous openltion pending the completion of the additional filtration and clarification sections. A secondary washer is being installed between the Primary and secondary crushers, the successful operation of which will alleviate the difficulties now present in the Simmons crushing plant and increase the grinding efficiency. The plant has been able to grind and treat over 2,000 ton:; Lut it has been deemed advisable to hold the tonnage to around 1,700 tons daily until all additions and corrections ha\'e been made in order to maintain a proper extraction. The December and J<lnuary (1f!37). results haye been most encouraging and no \~l1certainty is felt in the final outcome of the plant a'djustment now being completed. In addition to the above, extensive improvements were made to the laborers' quarters consisting of the construction of new hpuses, restaurants and hospital quarters. A two-story a"my barracks was constructed to house the l'egular Rio Guinobatan soldiers. The Puro Water tanding and bodega was extending, increasing the efficiency of the transportation system.

THE COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL MANUAL

With the interior organization now in process of formation, and with the technical, legal and administrntivc staff now being assembled there will be no problem connected with the mining industry that we shalt !lot be able to efficiently and economically handle . CAP ITALIZATION

The intcnf.c.n is to capitalize for "'1 ,000,000.00. The capital sto("k is to be divided into shares of a par value of P O.O l each. DIRECTORS

The tcmp01'aTY Board of Directors will consist of L. H. Hal'v~y who has had u wide and success-, Cui ex pcricmct! ill mill ellgineering and in construction work throughout the world. George P. Harpel', r etired, U.S.N. with a wide geological knowledge. George Andl'cws with a wide experience in prospecting ,nd diamond drilling. H. W. Lombard, businessma"n and Alva J. H ill, lawyer, specializing in mining practice. It is proposed to increase the membership of the permanent bOll.rd to seven. It is OUl' desire to build up the strongest board possible from t.he l'anks of businessmen, mining men, lawyers and men versed in finance. A later announcement will be made as to the proposed members. ENGJNEER I l<C

The engineering department will bc divided into two branches, the board of Engineerinr: Consu ltants, the senior branch, und the Staff Engineers, the junior branch. BOARD <n~ ENCINEERI NG CONSULTANTS

This board is now in process of formation. It will consist of five members, all of them leaders in their respective br anches in the mining engineering profession and well ver sed in local mining conditions and problems. They are men of mature e.....:perience and of proven integl路ity. We are pleased to announce that Mr. R. Y. Hanlon, a mining engineer of nlany years experience in many parts of the world one of the pioneers in the examination of Philippine p:'operties which have s ince developed into mines of fJrovcn soundness, has accepted the chairmanship {If this board. Mr. Hanlon's experience and p!'ofessional standing assure this conlpany and its clients of ski ll and honesty in treating their problems. With equal pleasure we announce that Mr. Earl Bedford formerly of Marsman and Company, and now in mine consultant practice in Manila, has a lso

accepted an apr.ointment to serve on the board. Mr. Bedford has had a long successful and complete career in the milling industry and his services on the board will materially contribute to its success. The other three appointees under consideration are of equal profesEional and ethical standi ng and together with M~~rs. Hanlon and Bedford will form what we believll to be the strongest board of mine engineers and geologists in the Far East. The board will sit at stated times for the purpose of acting on technical matters relating to properties unde\' management of Mine Factors, and will decide on problems passed to it for its con路 sidel'ation by the .staff Engineers and by the Administrative. It will, in addition, establish engineer. ing policies nnd will be available for consultation by the Staff Engineers. The members of the board will be avnilablt: for personal examination of properties, when such properties are of importance, and when their personal professional engagements permit. STAt'F ENGINEERS The Staff will be composed of young engineer s. We are selecting young men in order to assure ourselves of having a corps of trained young men who will be able to take to the field and have the physical stami na to stand the strain of continually living and working under trying conditions. These young men are a ll g raduates in mining engineering and wi ll have in addition the guiding advice and supervision of the Board of Consultants. We have sent to the Stmes for two young engineers whose arrival is expected in the near futUre. One engi. neer already in the Philippines has been appointed to the Staff and is available for duty. PROSP~:CTING

The large amount of prospecting work which we have found necessa ry to do as a partnership convinced us of the necessity and convenience of having our own sta ff of prospectors. We thus have a force of AmtJrican prospectors trained in our methods of examination of properties and in whom we have confidence as to the honesty, accuracy and thoroughness of their respective reports. It is our intention to augment this force by the addition of a few Filipino prospectors who can \'I"ork with the Americans and learn our methods and aims. In the past it has been our policy to have properties thoroughly prospected by a prospector before sending an expensive engi neer on to the job. This has resu lted in vast savings and has a lso resulted in properties being so prepared for the engineer as to


PHILIPPINES enable him to do his work better and in an appre路

ciab1:y shorter time. LEGAL

We have organized our own Legal Department with an American lawyer, Mr. Alva J. Hill, at its head. This department will pass on all legal matters and policies and will work in close conjunction with the executive, finance and engineering departments. ACCOUNTING AiND FINANCE

As its name implies, this department will handle all accounting and finance matters not only for this company but for other companies with which we shall enter into management contracts. We have secured the services of a man of very wide experience in both accounting and finance to head this department. MANAGEr.n;l\'T AND OPERATION CONTRACTS

It has defil\itely been arranged to turn over to the company immediately after incorporation ma~ nagement, development and ~eration contracts with five mining corllorations. These contracts provide for a monthly management fee from each company together with certain rights as to the purchase of new issues of stock at par. ThJ. contracts run for the life of the respective mines except in case the properties are not capable of being brought into profitable production within a certain number of months. In thi& case, if the mining companies de~ sire to purchase other claims and continue their corporate existence, this company has the exclusive right to act as their agents in the examination and purchase of the claims and the management and operation contracts contin\le to run during the life of the new mines. Thel"e are other features in these contrncts of advantage to Mine Factors. At the same time the contracts al'e eminently fair to the Mining companies, and will permit them to be worked efficiently and economically. 0UI' services to these companies will consist of providing for their use or full administrative, legal and engineer~ ing facilities. Full and complete information 'with reference to these contracts will be mailed to each stockholder of record immediately after completion of incorporation and legalization of contracts. In drawing these oontracts the practice of one of the largest and most successful management and ope~ ration corporations in the islands has been followed. In addition to the above the promotors have been approached. by a large management and pro~ motion compan)' with a proposition to take over

335

the management of four other mining companies under conditions similar to these in the contracts, previously mentioned herein. These matters are still in process of negotiation and if contracts are eventually consummated these contracts will be transferred to this company. PROPERTIES The company now actually has available for purchase valuable options On mining properties located in recognized mineralized areas, These pro~ perties have been selected from many that have been offered at considerable cost and always in line with an established policy that the company will only operate in districts that are known to be mineralized. It is believed that these properties have great probability of being found UJ be true prospects. "SA YO-FIANZA" GROUP This is a group of 51 claims located in the Ito~ gon District of Benguet, It is very close to the Marsma n Itogon Mine in a heavily mineralized area and it is felieved that further explol路ation will prove this property well worth development. The road to Baguio goes direct to the property. Eleven veins have been exposed. "FLORIDA" GROUP A group of 42 claims located in the Itogon Dis~ trict at Benguet. This g l'OUp is very close to the SAYo~FIANZA group and from surface indications, coupled with the fact tlhat it is in a mineralized area, should be capable of being developed into a mine. Connects by road to Baguio. "NEBRASKA" GROUP This group consists of 43 claims and adjoins the FLORIDA groltp. The same r emarks apply to this group as to FLORIDA and SAyo-FIANZA. Out~ cropping and vein discovered have been satisfactory and further exploration, we feel sure, will establish the group as a very good prospect, Also connect_ ed with Baguio by road. "HARVEY" GROUP This consists of 30 claims located about 6 kilo_ meters from the I.X.L. mine in l\Iasbate. This group has been very carefully explored and located. Tile assays of the outcrop are satisfactory. Harvey & Lombard have a superintendent and crew of men on the property uncovering veins, trenching and otherwise preparing the property for a thorough engineering and geological examination.

"1.X.L. Exn:NsION"

This group adjoins the Harvey Group on the N. W. corner and consists of 26 claims. On this ptOperty a superintendent and crew of men are r ushing development work. I II addition to a considerable amount of development work the house for the superintendent is 75% completed. This construction is to be immediately followed by the building of a laborers barrio. Beyond the provision of adequate housing for staff and labOl: nothing is being spent except for development work, About five t housand pesos has been spent On the propert y and it is now ready fo!' a complete geologica l examination. An engineer will leave for the purpose of doing this examination jll about a week. The

property looks good. Stockholders will be informe.d in the near future as to its value.

PHILIPPINES Heport as of October 4, 1937 :-As evidenced by the accompanying tcc!,:!ical reports and data, your Company has made remarkable progress during the past five: months. It is the opinion of your Board that it Illay now confidentLy look forward to placing both the Capsay Mining Comp:my (Bock Group) and th"J Rio V2l'de (Gawgawon Group) into actual production in the. neal' future. With these fnvorable development, it became essential to adopt a prof,<lrly synchronized financial program. At a meeting of the Board held October 12, 1937, it was resolv\!d to cal' in the balance due and unpaid on original subscrivt:ons on or before November 15th and to offcr to all shareholders of record us of October 31st the right to subscribe at par on or before November 15th to four additional shares fOl' eveG楼 Dcl路t:mber 31st and the balanceon or before J~nui'Lry !lIst. This will result in our entire capital vf PlOOf) 000 being fully paid up by January 31st, 1938. Unfortunate conditions prevalent in local and foreign !;tock markets and the consequent possibility of .nn adversc financi.ti orlfect on some shareholders gave rise to unceJ路tninty as to whether or not share allotm~nts wo11111 be taken up. The definite commitmcnts which must now be undertaken in order to reach vital obj.:ctives as rapidly as possible make it essential tha~ amp'e funds be available at all times.

road connects tile POl't of Santa CI'UZ with t he mine. Four kilometers of th is road is our own property, the balance is government road. House and offices are being constructed to take care of the mining and milling f orces. Acting on the reports from the United States as to the type of mill required, your Board of Directol's have authorized the construction of a mill of the flotation type with an initial capacity of 100 to 150 tons per day, depending on the f inal recommendation of the consulting engineer. This mill should be er ected and in operation within six months. A mill of this capacity only is being erected at this time in order not to have too large a plant

at the beginning but to build up the plant by units of ]00 tons capacity as fast as the ore is available. T he power plant is on its way to Manila and should be installed within the next ninety days. Erection of t.he bu ilding fOl" the mill will be begun shortly. Labo Project :-Investigation of this group of claims have convinced us of the presence of ore in quant ities. The l"efore we have begun tbe sinking of a 400-foot three compartment main operating shaft. WOI'k on this is being pushed as rapidly as possible with the equipment we now have.

PHILIPPINES Balance sheet and operatmg statement are in· eluded herewith. Great care ha-.s been exercised ill the expenditure of the company's money. We have accomplished a great deal with the money we have spent. Now thut we feel sure that we have a mine ir. both places, we wish to go ahead with development as fast as possible during the year 1937, hoping to have bolh projects under production before the next annual meeting. We take pleasure in submitting below the rcports of our engineers on the properties now being operated by the Mineral Resources, lllc. To the Stockholders, October 4, 1937:-The President !".nd Beara of Directors take pleasure in

informing ;you that our mill in Marinduque is com· plewd !l.nd has started operating. Experimental runs were made during the last ten days of September and continuous operation has been started. It may be m.cessary to m&~e a djustments for tlhe f:rst few weeks but so far everything has been operating satisfactorily. Flotation reagents are being experimcnt2d with to get a max,irnum extractio!l at a minimum of cost. The mill .was erected by the Southwestern Engineering Company in record tiDle and is well built and apparently vel y effici<!nt. They have well demonstrated their abilitv in the deSign and COhstruction of milling pbnts. Owi"lg to softlless of our ore ~he mill has been operating at th:! rate of 192 tons pel' hour instead of 150 tons as designed, and can easily do 250 tons if the f1<I13tion cells are not overcro·Nded. P ower consumption for the whole mill at 192 tons is 210 horsepower or the ol"iginal estimatld for 150 tons. Our haulage system is proving out as calculated so.nd two dump trucks can easily haul 200 tons from the mincl to the mill at an estimated cost of PO.089 per tOll. Timing of the truck shows that they make a regular rc..und trip from mine to mill in 7% minutes alod actually haul two meters of ore. About 3,000 tons of development ore are stored back of the mill as t.n emergency supply. In addition to the Superintendent's hou~e and the mess hall, an"thcl" cottage for married staff has bt:t:n completed. Quarters f('r laborers are beillg constructed and a bodega and concentrate storage is being put up e.t Buyabud, the provincial port from which we shall send shipments. The market for zinc, our major product, is very strong and the outlook is more favorable than for any other base metal.

Work in our main sh aft at Labo has been suspended pending change Clver from our new engine but i~ I.OW going on. The new di~coveries on cl2.irr.l' 71·72 a!'e very promising. Cub acros~ the formation have proven the length tc;. be silveral hundred feet. A prospect shaft is being put down 50 feet to crosscut the formation at depth. The oxidized surface contains considerable frpe gold in addition to metallic copper and chalcopyrite bu'; it is quite probable that this will b~ atl in sulfides at depth-MINERAL RESOURCES, Inc., Sgd.

THE COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL MANUAL

Act No. 2705. It later 011 purchased the Casptan Rope Company for about Pesos 300,000.00. Subsequently, when Gen. Leonard Wood became Governor-General, he sought to change the policy inaugur:lted by the previous administration. Governor Wood wanted to take the Government out of business, and on May 28. 1937, he issued Executive Order No. 66 ordering the liquidation of the National De,'clopment Company. As a result, no new activities were established during GovernOl' Wood's time as also during the administration of his successors, Governors Stimson, Davis and Roosevelt. I n 1934, Governor-General Frank Murphy, nowever, reversed the Republican policy and ordered t he rehabilitation of the National Development Company. With the organization of the Commonwealth Government, a special provision for the economic development of th~ Philippines was embodied in Section 1, Article XlI of the Constitution. On

November 13, 193G, the National Assembly passed Act No, 182 converting the National Development Company as created by Act No. 2849 into a pUblic corporation "to serve as an agency of the Commonwealtil of the Philippines in the furtherance of its economic policies."

Announcing~ The Increase of Capital Stock of the National Economic Security Enterprise, Inc.

from P20,OOO to Pl,OOO,OOO THIS is not aD announcement for subscription reservation for shares. The NATIONAL l>CO~OMIC SECURITY ENTERPRISE, INC. is • "close" corporation.

J UST the same, t his event is of vital importance to the investing public, because it is a rc-assurance of the financial stability of t.he "NESE".

THE "NESE" has now its own office building. It has its own printing press that prints. t he "Nese Journal." It has branches in the prmcipal cities and in many large commercia l towns in the Philippi nes, all financially stable and independent. It has just opened a. bmnch office in Shanghai, wh ich from all indications promises to become the "NESE'S" prem ier sub-company in the Far Eust.

A company that has grown from a P20,OOO.OO corporation to a. millionpeso firm in less t han five years is a convincing proof t hat its backers have fai th in public confidence.

ANY company t hat can eq ual t hese accomplishments within t he same period of time as the "NESE" has done it deserves co nt.inued unqualified publi c su pport.

PROGRESS REPORT FOR THE MONT.t OF AUGUST, 1937 General-Work was concentrated at Level 250 until the last of the month when work was aband· oned due to the breakdown of the Diesel engine supplying current to the pumping faciHties. At the present time the Shafts is flooded, but work should be resnmed there by the latter part of September. Since thnt time work has been ac· celerated at Syndicato. Two more headings were begun there. The result was the cutting of two veins shortly after the first of September. Four days in all were lost due to the mechanical trouble.

Drift 500 Wcst, Level 2s0-A total of 168 feet was advanced with X-Cuts each 50 ft. Assays throughout the entire 168 feet advanced were below economic mining value. Drift 1/1 West, Level 25Q-An advance of 186.5 feet wa ~ made. A narrow, but strong quartz vein was followed for this distance, but it also did not a ssay, although there is a small ore shoot some SO feet long at the beginning of the drift. This drift was stopped at 210.5 feet. It is planned to drift east at a later date. This drift was stopped in an effort to concentrate on showings that are though to yield better results. Drift 201 West, LfJvfJL 250-An advance 49 feet was made during the last part of August. A small ore shoot apparently was encountered, was the last 20 feet of drift driven before the collapse of the 320 Diesel engine averaged $6.66 over 21 inches. So far the vcin is very narrow, but it may persist for some length as a diamond drill hole some 450 feet we.st of the face yielded as assay of $20.00 over 2 feet. This dl'ift will be pushed when the shaft and workings are unwatered Drift 500 East, Level 250-This drift was started at the end of the month. X-Cut 533 East, X·G«t 533 West, Level 0·113These X-Cuts were driven 80 feet and 150 feet respectively, but nothing was cut by the end of August. XvCut 4.31, Levd 0-45-An advance of 94.50 feet was made, but nothing was cut hy the end of the month. Things of Interest si'lce the First of SeptfJmbfJ":

-At X·Cut 533 east a vein approximately 30 inches wide was cut some 100 feet east of X-Cut 019. ' A drift has been started, Drift 529 N, values of $4.00 and $5.00 over 20 to 30 inches are found. At X-Cut 533 West, 160 feet west of X-Cut 019 a vein 36 inches wide was cut. About 54 feet of drift has been driven. Values average from $8.00 to $9.00 over 2{) to 30 inches. At X-Cut 4.31 a vein some 36 inchcs wide was intersected 358 feet fl'om the portal. The vein is

quite strong. but values are quite low. A Drift has been started called Drift 710 East. When work is resumed at Level 250 it is hoped that development work wil! be able to be carried on in orc on three veins. This, of course, including the two veins at Syndicato, and onc at Level 250. Namely Drift 201 West, Level 250; Drift 545 North, Level 0-113; Drift 529 North, Level C-113. CO'/1$;t/-uction-The assay office was placed in service and operated until the end of the month when lack of power forced a shutdown.

Claudio R. de Luzuriaga and Mr. Ramon Santos. Declarations of Location effecting the foregoing claims arc all duly registered with the Surigao Mining Recorder. They were located undel' formerly existing mining laws. A few surface tenants occupy the premises; their activities being confined to gold panning, and the raising of camoros, etc. This situation is tolerated by the owners, but is not to be, in any manner adverse to your operations. Water appropriations, to the extent of 3480 liters per second, have been aOllroved. This IIppropriation constitutes practicoJly all the watel' in the several streams' upper reaches. The final resource to be brought in is from the West Matinao River. This has materially increased your water availability. Your corporation is also tl;!.e owner of an expansive timber concession, embt:acing all group trees, and extendinfr to include your water-shed and the claims under control.


PHILIPPINES Topographic R elief : -The summit s of the northerly extending Diuata Cordillera of Eastern Mindanao are to the west of the area considered, and it is there the headquarters of your streams are located. Local to the property group t he ridges are of low relief, and regularly indented by the canons of the Cansuran, Tagbasinaan, Tuguanan, Parang-P arang, and Sangay Rivers. The dividing r idges, particularly the Cansuran Ridge, is flat toppC!d and wide, Local vegetation abundantly mantles the area. Rain/all.·-Based upon the records of thirty years the district has an average annual precipitat ion of 140.27 inches during a period averaging 206 I'ainy days each year. Your maximnm requirement for water-when employing three hydraulic giants-is 1095 miners inches, and when employing two giants only; which is the usual procedUl'c ~ the requirement is 902 miners inches. In this relation I have calculated that under normal r ainfall conditions there will be an average annual water flow per day of 643 miners inches which should give the e~pectation of 18 hours 20 minutes daily average piping t ime under full head discharge at the giants. The above considerations are contingent upon normal rainfall and, as such, are ~ubject to varying latitude in direct relation to weather conditions which, for example, have been sub·normal during the past year. Geologic FeutlLres:- The foundation formations of the Surigao P eninsula are largely gabbr oid in~ trusives, considerably metamorphosed to serpentines and schists. These rocks are of probable pre-TE'rtiary age. Andesitic intrusives are of somewhat later age. Scdimentar y rock formations and unconsolidated alluvials superimpose the more ancient structures. The whole area has been subjected to numerous revolutionary dislocations thru time, and numerous subsidences and re-elevations have accompanied the hi storic sequence here. An ancient river once meandered th rough the former terr anc:e. This was c:harac:terized by quiesc:ent flow and deep gravel beds. The gravel deposit is auriferous; having derived the gold f rom local erosions into the igneous series rocks. Such gold is well distributed throughout the ancient stream deposit, and to secondary erosions of more modern streams. Its fineness averages approximately 900. The ancient stream was obliterated by the disruptions of successive andesite intrusions, upheavals,

}61

and regional subsidences. Today on e n otes only t he remnant lengths of the ancient str eam-usually high on the modern ridges. It is common to such a condition that your enterprise is operative. G,·uvel Features:-Your operations, and the results extending test work, disclose and average depth approximating 6.0 yards. This evident~y will be exceeded in the north end of the property. Bouldel's are in large proportion and range f r om the size of a base ball to those individuals weighing severnl tons. Boulders sizing from 1'0" to 2' -0" are predominant with interstitial gravel, sand, etc. making up the deposit. Outline of De velQpment:-Sampling in the Estanislao claim initially under taken toward deter· mining the justification of equipping the property for the hydraulic method of mining t he gravels. Conclusions were favo r able, and a syst!'m of ditches, flumes, and reservoirs, constructed from the several points of diversion. From the reservoir a 20" to 16" to 12" pipe line has bel:n laid for hydraulic pressure which is 108.5 Jbs. per square inch at the giants. The entire water system exceeds 7.0 kilometers length. A suitable operating camp has been constructed. This includes staff mess, power plant and bodega, offices, shop!!, dispensary, family quarters, bunk houses and laborers' mess. All buildings are of good construction. A camp water supply for fire protection, and domestic use, is laid. All buildings are electrically lighted. Operations are canied out under usual hydraulic mining procedure. Water from the: giants is di r ected against the gravel banks, and is employed to drive the debris through sluice boxt!.'< paved with gold saving riffles. Large boulders ar~ removed by manual labor in combination with a highline trolley actuated by a donkey hoist and cable~. The latter equipment has survived its officient use--due to pit expansion, lack of spar trees, and distance over which rocks must be transported. AlSO the rna· chinery is about worn out, and its remaining use· fulness had best be devoted to swamping logs cleared in advancing the operations. RecJmmendations under my general report outline the usI:. of a portable crane to supplant the donkey Dl:>sembly, and these will be later detailed herein. Personnel:- l\'[al'sman and Company, Inc. re~ present ed by the Wl'itel', managed YOll l enterprise from its inception until December 3ht 1936, upon which date the contract was mutually terminated.

S. Bake~, that sa tisfactory results have come from the cHQrts of t he Company thus far. The organization nas engaged several engi neers which were al ready in the Philippines and has brought some men from the United States and ex路pects to have severa l m ore men aniving in the near future. Among t h ese men are: A. P. Bowie, f ormerly with l\1ars man & Company, Inc. a s Assistant Superintendent of Coco Grove, Inc.; Dean ,V. Albee, who has been in the I slands fol' several yea l's doing field work and more l'ecently with the General Exploration & Development Co. on their Mindanao properties, D. T. Hughes, diamond driller fo r the Company, and several practical men wiih long experience in t he Philippines a1;ld elsewhere. Among the new arrivals from the States are: J. McLaren Forbes , geologist, who has had considerable experience in hi s field and a graduate of the U niversity of Arizona, formerly wi th several of the copper companies in Arizona and experienced in California; George L. H. Loram. a graduate of the University of California and formerly consulting engineer more r ecently in t h e Mother Lode Section of California and with some considerable experience in Chile on mining examinations and development work; Donald MacLaren, who is arriving from the U nited States very shortly. is a graduate of Prince_

town Univers ity and later did some graduate work at the California Inst.itute of Technology. MacLaren with five years experience in the Insp irations Copper Co. in Arizona and later geologist and engineer for the Eagle Pitcher Co. of Arizona, is expected to prove a valuable addition to the organization. The activities of Opi sso & Company, Inc. at the present time consist principally in the examination of prospects which have been offered to the Company for development. Through a process of el imination those which did not indicate any possibilities have been nmnquished by the Company. Some groups of claims are undergoing intensive examination at the present time and certain of these al'e givin g considerable encouragement toward the continuing of the work. In addition to this wOl'k, Opisso & Company, Inc. engineers have been retained by several companies t o make detailed examinations of their properties and to con sider negotiating contracts for the management of these companies by Opisso & Company. lnc. Mter a period of examination of the properties of the Pal'acale Consolidated Venture an operating contract was concluded whereby Opisso & Company, Inc. ,viII develop t h e properties of this organization a n d erect a mill at such time as the property warrants it. Thus fa r the results have been quite g ratifying and a ssays ranging from $0.40 to S20.00 have been secured on the p roperty with sonle a s h igh as $26:l. rntcnsive developmen t outlined at the present moment consists of the sinking of a working :;;haft on t h e property and the driving of SUCh drifts and cross-cuts a s can be economically p laced to give maximum resull;..c; at a minimum expense. In a dd ition to this one of the properties of the San Mauricio Luklukan Mining Co. has given encouraging resul ts. The properties mentioned here have only been r ecently acquired by that Company. Assays from the group have given from $ ~.40 to $5.20. While the work here is only in the preliminary stage, as was stated, the results to date have been sufficiently encouraging to warrant addi tio nal expenditures on this property. Judge A. M.

'1'0 all our Stock-holders as of Octabel' 28, 1937: After a thorough inspection by Mr. Fred. MacCoy and mys<!lf of our property. known as the Capsap No. I, 1 am very much pleased to report to you that the work so far has been progressing as fast as possible, except due to frequent rains and floods which lasted so long, and our men were a little bit hindered and a few of our tunnels caved in as you will notice in a complete report of Mr. Frederick MaeCoy, our supervising engineer for the exploration and development of our property. The Repol路t foJlow s .-DR. JOSE A. ENRIQUEZ, President and General Mam,a,ger. We beg to submit the following report as of October 5th, 1937 upon the work that has been done on the group up to Oct. 1st, and to give our plans for the work to be carried o~ for the immediate future. The Central Camp which is in the Josue Clam may be reached by either of the three trails:One directly from Aroroy, taking three hours of a hike; one by auto to the Camp of Masbo.te Consolidated and thence by hiking two hours; and onc by anto to the Eastern Syndicate Camp and thence by hiking 4 kilometers. Could arrangements be made with the Eastern Syndicate for the usc of their road from the Provincial Highway, an easy grade road aboue 4 kilometers could be built to the Central Camp. Most of t he mine workings lie along the second mentioned trail, but a s all trails concentrate at Central Camp, they ,\I'e accessible from thence.

INDUSTRIAL MANUAL At the Central Camp a fair nipa nouse has been built for temporary headquarters. A shed ere<:ted to shelter a blacksmith shop. A concrete dynamite magazine has just been finished, and is awaiting approval by Constabular!y before receiving the first shipment. A request for a gratuitous timber concession has been made to the Bureau of Forestry. EzploJ'ation:-The work to date, baving been carried on without explosives, has necessarily been slow. No rock formations that could not be excavated by hand tools, could be tested. As the prospectors have not yet identified the exposures with claim lines, all names used refer to some natural object, such as mountains and creeks. Lahong Mountain:- Tunnel No.6-which had been started to cut the vein showing a trench above, had caved due to recent rains, but as it had not yet reached the vein, t here was nothing to be seen. At the trench on the hillside above, the vein was exposed hnving a width of 21h feet, striking South East and dipping North East. Sample No. 32 was taken here. A previous sample went $1.76 per fun. Tunnel No.5-is now in 58 feet and expected to cut the vein at about 30 feet . more. In T1'ellch No.2-the vein is 2lh feet wide where sample No. 33 was taken. The previous s2.mple of this place gave $3.00. In T"eJlc!t No. "-the exposure shows 4 feet of very hnrd quartz, possibly more vein unexpected. The quartz is too hard to break without dynamite. Sample No. 34 was taken here. This trench is approximately 50 feet higher elevation than Trench No.2. Trench No. I-is alongside of and does not crosscut the vein. The outcrop at this place is 3 feet wide of well mineralized quartz. Ncar where

These last five mentioned places arc all C!xploring the same vein, which is strongly marked in the section alI,t!ady explored, and will probably be found to extend 50m2 distance beyond these exposures. From the size and appearance of this vein it should warn.nt an extensive development campaign. TTtJnch No. 4-On the South side of the hill exposes a considerable quantity of crushed quartz, possibly D. local conc.:;ntration of float. Ther e are no define wells. Sample No. 36 was taken here.

Moreno Mounta in:-Tunnel No. 9-A-is now ,18 feet, having cut 6 fe-~t of vein matter with more vein not yet cxposed. Sample No. 39 represents 42 to 45 feet of the tunnel and sample 39 repres.:nts 45 to 48 feet. The vein is principally of quartz, hcavily iron stained. The wall rcck near the vein is also deeply colored by'! th is stain. Penal Moutain:-Trench No.9-At the bottom of the hill has exposed a wide zone of quartz inter-mixed with a h ighly silicified rock with which nothing can be done until dynamite is available. The fracture zone is apparently 12 feet wide, although badly defined. No samples was taken . Trench No . l--on the hillside above has passed across the vein diagonally, exposing the true width of the vein of 10 feet. Old Tunnel No.3-wh ich has been stopped some t ime, had caved in; he nce, was inaccessi ble. The prospectors reported, having found three uni mpOI'tant stringers. Josue Claim :- Tltllnel No.2-is on the hill~ide below t he Central Camp. There is nothing of Importan cc showing in the tunnel aside from several small stringers, but on the hill side above, there is an exposure of quartz that should be investi_ gated to ascertain if it is a true outcrop or just ~ c(ln('entral:ion fkat.

Recomlll(mdutiolts : - Luhong M()!mta i1ts : _ At tunnel No.6 uncover the outcrop so ns to dctermine true st rike, so that tunnel can cut the vein in shortest di stance. Continue Tunnel s Nos. 4 nnd 5 to intersect the vein. Then drift right and left on the vein, in Tunnel No.5. Open up Trench No.3 by blasting, and examine the fresh surface of the cut. Try by other trenches to west of Trench No. 3 and East of Trench No.1 to locate extensions of vein. Opet;'l up vein at Trench No.1 by blasting and repeat sampling. Check up comparative elevations of Tunnels No.4 and 5 before drifting from Tunnel No.4, so that the two drifts will connect. Penal Momlta i1~:-At Trenc1~ No. a-s hoot off the face of the outcrop to allow examination and !"ampling. M()reno MOlmtain:- Twn nel No. a-Co ntinue thru the vein and then drift on wh ichever wall shows t he best values. By trenching, try to locate the extensions of the vein. Genc)'ul Recommendati()J{s :- The vein exposed by trenches 1, 2, and 3 on Lahong Mountain is such a strong, well marked vein that it is worthy of cxtensive exploration. While the assays reported are not of high grade, they indicate a mineralization over the entire exposed length of vein; and as they are merely superficial, they should not be taken as representilig the unaltered vein. This also applies to Tunncl 3-A on Mor eno Mountain. Hcre the vein has becn found wide and strong. Latel'3l deve!opnlent should be carried out.

"From the report of A. A. Friedman on the properties of the Palawan Manganese Mines, Inc., conSistIng of 68 lode and placer claims located in the northern and eastern parts of the island of Busuangan, pl'ovincc of Pa!nwan, it appears that vein outcrops and floats of manganese ore occur in Cuay, Carmel ita and Lucy Groups of claims. However, no workings have been done in order to determine the extent of th(! ol'e, nor were analyses made of the ore to determine its quality. In view thereof, this Office can not recommend any value to S:lid properties, a lthougb it will bave no objection to further prospecting. Attention is invited to tbe fact that the certificate of Director of Forestry mention only eleven claims comprised in Cuay Placer, and eleven, comprised in the San Nicolas G~'oups to be outside forest reserves. No certificate of the Director of Forestry has been submitted for the rest of the claims appearing in the list submitted by the Company. Before accepting the above claims as assets of the Palawan Manganese Mines, Inc., and as basis of any promotion, it is recommended that the owners of the claims be required to present documents on whieh their titles on the claim:. are based, the survey plan of the claims, and affidavits to the effect that the same arc free from conflicts and are not within any government resern, and that the herein corporation shall not hold more than 450 hectares (50 full lode claims) in any onc province, nor mOl'e than 250 claims in a ll the provinces in the Philippines, nor more than 3,200 hectares of lands containing placer deposits in anyone province, and that at least 600/'" of the capital of the herein cornoration is owned and shall at all times be owned by citizens of the Philippines or of the U nited States. It should be understood that the herein cornoration shall not hold more th~n one claim on the same vein or lode as provided by Section 33 of the Act. of Congress of July 1. 1902, nor

more than three claims on the same lode or placer ground as provided by Section 87 of t he new Mining Act, and that in the case of claims located in accordance with the proviSions of the new Mining Act, the holder thcreof shall not be entitled to e:J:tract minerals from the claims for commercial purposes until leases shall have been granted.

PURPOSE: The pa st few years have seen extraordinary :"Ictivity in the Philippines because of discoveries of extensive mineral resources; gold, chromite, ir on, manganese, etc. As is usually the case in all count ries making such discoveries , many individualS, g r oups and corporations have been formed to exploit these findings. It goes without saying that many of these finds have shown excellent promise of profitable operation under proper and skilled management and others have materialized into profitable producing mines. Many of these individuals or groups have been handicapped in their development because of

lack of funds or qualified technical personnel. or both. During the pnst few months there has ljC(!n a well-marked trend on the part of these individuals and groups to enter into operating an-d management. contracts with larger companies having adequate capital and technical to carryon the work of bringing these properties into active production. This is the purpose of Pan Philippines Corporation, that, of developing, opemting, managing and financing such properties which have shown conelusively that they are worthy of working. MANAGEMENT:

In addi tion to the f inuncing and technical skill which Pan Philippines Corporation has available is the added guarantee of a management which is composed of outstanding business ability and foresight in their own line of endeavor, and will serve as office r s and directors, without any remuneration, until the time when the business affairs of the Corporation wal'l"ant such remuneration. 'Phe Pan Philippines Corporation has been recentl~' organized by the following prominent Filipino and American businessmen.

STAFf'

As Chief Engineer of the Technical Staff we have the services of Mr. Orlando McCraney, one of the outstanding engineel's and geologist of the United States. He is a graduate of the University of California, where he received the degree of Mining Engineer. Mr. Gordon M. Bettles, graduate mining engineer of the University of Utah, with extended experience as a mine operator and metallurgist in Alaska, Nevada and Galuornia. He has left his connection with the Newmont Mining Company, where he was directing a program of diamond drill exploration, to join the Pan Philippine Corporation. QthH engineers, geologists and technical members of the Staff, who were selected prior to Mr. McCraney and Mr. Bettles' departure from the United States, are now either here, or en route, for the Philippines. One of the important departments is that of an exploration services whose duties are those of investigating new undeveloped claims which look promising. A sufficient ·appropll,iation for this development makes possible careful exploration and development of not only properties already secured but those of merit which our technical staff may select in the future. PROPERTIES: The Pan Philippine Corporation has option agreements covering the management operation of various placer and lode mining properties which competent engineers have highly recommended for development work is now being done in some of these properties, among which we will only mention the following: 1.

Thirty-three (33) Mineral Lode claims situated in the Municipality of Capalanga, Labo and Mambulao, Province of Camarines Norte. Exploration and development was recommended on this property on May 1, 1937, after having been recommended by two outstanding Mining Engineers. An extract from the report made by Mr. McCraney, as a result of his inspection during the past week, is as follows: "While the results to date cannot be looked upon as an assurance of the development of a profitable mining business, yet it is considered quite encouraging that so favorable a develop-

Report as of September 16, 1937: An eightfoot vein was cut in t he 596 crosscut of the 180 level, Fortuna area of the P aracnle Gold Mining Company, directors of the company stated yesterda,y (Wednesday). Values run from PI0.50 per ton on the footwall to P25.20 on the hangingwall, assays showed. The vein was cut 39 ft. in a southernly direction form thE\ shaft . N ielson and Company, Inc. are managers o"f Paracale Gold. Mr. K. M. Stewar,.t, general superintendent of the property, stated in his r eport t hat he had de路 finite1y cut the south structure at F ortuna in the 596 crosscut and the size and strength of the vein and the grade of the r ock 'are all ns good as was determined from previous tests. The character of the rock is reported to be t he same as that found on t he surface and shows the same lead mineralization. The report further stated that the vein was about eight feet wide where it was cut, which is about twice as wide as it is on the surface. Assays made up to the time of the r eport show the values run from .15 ounces on the footwall to .36 ounces on the hangingwall. The stl'Ucture is very definite, the footwall bei ng the same narrow dike which shows on the worh:ings ahove and the hanging wall blue gouge. The strength of the pI'esent horizon show good possi bilities n.t gr eater depth. Mr. Stewart stated that he now plans to drift on t his at once and by t he end of t he month have a good sized body of ore blocked out on two sides. Some preliminary tests have been made on t he t r eatment of this ore as exposed in the shallow workings of the property and it has b<!en found to be amendable to the flotation process. Further tests will be made by Nielson and Company engin<!ers in order to confirm the previous conclusions. The cutting of the vein on the 180 ft. level is a d~rect Tesult of the aggressive deve10pment plan which was outlined for this property by Nielson

PHILIPPINES The Articles of Incorporation were filed with the Bureau of Commerce on September 18, and reo gistered on September 21, 1936. The Insular Treasurer granted a permit to the Corporation on October 9, 1936 to sell 53,290,000 shares at the par value of Pesos 0.01 each. The rest of the 53,290,000 shares was subscribed on June 31, 1937. There are three groups of claims, located in the three municipalities of Camarines Norte in which gold has been mined since time immemorial. The property of the Corporation consists of 123 lode mineral claims situated in the mining region of Camarines Norte. (1) Tawig:-The f irst group consists of 18 claims already purchased, besides 38 claims under option by the Corporation. These claims arc situated in the barrio of Tawig, Municipaiitv of Pa~ racale. These proper~es are located on the main Batobalani-Paracale Highway and are about 2 kilometres from Batobalani. The group adjoins the Paracale-Gold Mining Co., th~ Mambulao Gold Mining Company and the Northern }lining Company on the West the Coco Grove on the East, and the Malaguit River on the Southern Part. Transportation is sim-

pIe for this property as the provincial road passes through the middle of the group. Water is available for all mining and milling purposes. Timber may be secured on the Northern part of the property and from some of the Commercial sawmills of the district. (2) Bulalacao:-These claims, 7 already purchased, and 25 under option, are located in the Bar· rio of Bulalacao, municipality of Jose Panganiban (Mambulao>. Camarines Norte. On the South, they are bounded by the property of the Santa Barbara Mining Venture, and claims of Mr. J. R. Reed, on the West by the property of the San Mauricio Mining Co., and on the East by the Pacific Ocean. A truck road can be easily constructed (rom the end of the present road of the Paracaie-Gumaus Mining Company. During the preliminary work, tramportation will be by way of the present good trail or by boat from Mambulao or Paracale. Timber 2mpie for all development w ork is to be found on the claims. A Miner's Gratituous license to cut timber was already obtained by the Corporation. (3) Daguit: These claims, 22 already purchased and 18 under option, are located south of the junetion of the Busigon and the Daguit Rivers

Timber is to be found on the claims and a Miner's Gratuitous License to cut timber has already been obtained. Water is also available. Surface Rights : -In the course of the survey, difficulty was observed because of the opposition by the owners of private lands included within the claims. In order to continue the survey and development work, the Surface Rights were immediately arranged and purchased from the landowners. Mr. Manuel R. Lopez acted as Special Agent for the Company and obtained the surface rights from the landowners. Survey of the Properties:-The claims origin~llly acquired were registered under the laws in force before t he passage of Act 137. They have been already surveyed and pl ans filed with the Bureau of Mines. Because of the frequent overlapping of claims in the Pal'acale Mineral District, the first activity .of the .Col'porati{>n was the delimination of boundarIes. Mmeral lanc\ Surveyors Demebrio Resurrection and Daniel Arenas made a survey of the properties. The Company has also under contract Antonio Taiiedo, a private la,\d surveyor. Geology-(1) Tawig: These claims are in an area of old andesite which has been introduced by later andesite and diorite. These later intrusions are responsible for the formation of veins which in places carry considerable gold. Heavy overburden makes prospecting s.low and expensive, but the large amount of placer gol d which is being taken from t he soil regions, indicates that it cannot have travelled any great distnnce. (Alvir-Charlton). The predominate rocks where exposed by digging are granite. However, most of the group is flat and rolling, covered with soil, nipa, etc., from 0-1.0 m. (or more), sand and gravel containing values. In the high regions to the North these quartz veins are found on the granite and appears to have extension. Rich placer ground nearby with its fresh srystnlline gold tends to show that these values have not been transported very far. (2) Bulalacao: The area covered by these claims is part of the Mambulao-Paracale granite district but at the point covered by these claims is cut by an exten!'-ive pcrirtititc which extends South some 2 Km. from the property and in places contains some chromite. At the contact oetween the peridot ite and the gra nite are found a number of quartz veins. (Alvil路-Chnrlton).

This area is composed mainly of granite and schist with quartz veins in the granite near the contact. The country is hilly and covered with dense vegetation and soi l to a depth of from 2 to 10 M. Most of the prospecting has been done on the claims and fraction near small streams where the overhurden is shallow. (McArthur). (3) D9guit: These claims are lOcated in a sedimentary area which has been introduced by a series of late andesite and diorites. The gold bearing vein found on the claims are due to these later intrusives, 'lnd in most cases, can be directly connected wi.h t he intrusive dikes. (Alvir-Charlton). Work was immediately started on the property l!llon corporation. Mr. Jose Venida was designated to superintend the :Jctivities in the mines and laborers were hired f'imultaneously working on the three groupe: beg inning September 23 1936. The secure technical t-dvh:e on the development program, the Company secN'ed the service of Dr. A. D. Alvir and K. S. Charlton, Mining Engineers and Geologists. Work hns be{'n mnde in the line with the suggestions made in th('il' repurts. P.resent concentration of work has been made on the Tawig group and all known veins and outcrops have been cross..cut and assays taken there from. In the Bulalacao Group work was concentrated on the Banahaw and Pepita Claims. In the Daguit Group a ll the work done was prospecting as the property is covered with heavy vegetation. Dynamite blasting was started after the permit was issued by the authorities. After the preliminary cJeve)opnlC::nt work was finished the company secured th(' services of A. S. MacArthur a nd John M. Carpenter, Mining Engineers of the Federated Management and Investment Syndicate. The corporation by resolution of the Board of Directors have adopted the minimum wage of Pesos 1.00 for all laborers and employees. It has been found to be more effective, as the laborers, being well paid, work better and more efficientl y. No more loyal group of men can be found working for a mining corporation. A complete record of each laborer is kept in the files for purposes of reference and promotion. Every employee and laborer wears a badge. Paracale Office is situated in the heart of the town just near the North-Camarines Bote1. Beginning February 15, 1937, the Manila Office of the Corporation will be at: 441 S. Vicente, Te1. 2路52-22.

the Stockholders: In submitting its Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 1936, your Board of Directors wishes to state that the affairs of the company are now very well organized and that the technical work is being canied on under the supervision of e)(perienced mining engineel's who have started a very aggl'essive program of development work which is producing the most encouraging results. Your Board has been informed by the engineers that the blocking out of ore bodies should be undertaken in the very neal' future. Samples of ore have been tested for milling purposes and plans will be submitted for the erection of a mill just as soon as sufficient commercial ore has been blocked out. The engineers have also reported to your Boani of Directors that new veins have been uncovered in the B ig Vein Area and that a more aggressive program of developing this area would be presented in the ver y near future. The camp site on the company's property has now been completed, and the road leading from the Pal'acale Provincial Road into the camp has been completely surfnced . Automobiles can now go all the way to the company's camp. The: l'esidence for the General Superintendent has been completed. An office building has been built as well as a hospital and a bodega. A complete· Iy equipped Assay Laboratory is in operation and an assayer is on duty every day. Some custom work is being done in this laboratory which will help defray the assaying expenses. By having this laboratory on the ground immediate results can be obtained on any material which is sent in for assay and a closer operati ng schedule kept on all operations. A concrete dynnmite magazine has been built for the storage of explosives. A water system is being installed to serve the camlJ. The camp is centrallr located on what is known as the "Big Vein Area" which is about one kilometer from the Pamcaie Pl'ovincial Road. All work on the camp has been done in the most economical manner IJroviding only what is absolutely necessary at this time and avoiding all unnecessary costs by constructing only ordinary buildings. The services of Mr. K. M. Stewal't, E.~1., have been obtained by the company as General Superintendent, who took aqtive charge of the field work on September 9, 1936, Mr. Stewart is one of the best known mining engineers in the Philippines.

PHILIPPINES a vein on a peridotite granite contact which threw flashy values and was highly mineralized. Work is being pushed ahead on this tunnel and the vein continues strong but the values spotty. However, it is hoped that orc bodies of commercial value will be exposed. This vein is quite typical of othel'S in the Paracalc district and undoubtedly morc work will prove up sizeable orc bodies. Aside from this contact vein, several small veins have been found in the granite proper and show possibilities of making small orc bodies. The values in these small veins are generally higher and morc consistent than t hose in the contact type of vein. A number of high assays have been obtained from these small veins and development work is being pushed on t hem. Anothcr tunnel is being run apPl'oximately 80 feet lower than the above mentioned tunnel with t he intention of cutting the granite peridotite contact vein. The tunnel has not r eached ~ts objective to aate and due to the type of deposit it .fUay be necessary to run a raise to intercept the contact. As soon as this vein has been cut in this tunnel another crosscut will be started 100 feet lower for developing the ore body at depth. A duplicate installation of'machinery, including another Gal'dnel'-Denver compressor of the same s ize, has been installed in the ar~ around our Fortuna claim, and work is also being pushed in that part of our property. The r oad from the P rovincial Road to the shaf t is well under constl'uetlorlbeing gl'aded out and partly graveled. The head frame has been erected on the Fortuna shaft nad sinking is in progress. The Fortuna A r ea looks like it is going to be one of the best sections of the propcrty. At the time Nielson & Co. ass umed the management of our property the vein was exposed on the Fortuna Area over a distance of several hundred feet and threw consistent assays around $6.80 (old price) over an averagc width of 5 feet. Further prospecting has shown this vein to extend for over 900 feet with evidence of continuation on each end a nd good values throughout the exposed distance. Development work is being pushed in this area in order to prove up the possibility of the deposit a s soon as possible. The shaft will be sunk to a depth of 150 feet at which point crosscuts will be run to intercept the vein. If the values are still consistent at this depth the blocking out of ore will progress very rapidly. Some preliminary tests have been made on the treatment of this ore a s exposed in the shallow working

381

and shows it to be amendable to the floation p rocess. While this data cannot be considered as conclusive it is a good indicator that the treatment of the ore will be relatively simple. The Big Vein Area has been intensely mined in early times and the outcrops are pitted wi th old holes. Due to the topography of the country the only possible way of getting under these old workings is by a shaft or shafts. With this in mind, all of t he brush has been clear ed along the outcrop and line of old workings. A careful examination of the cleared area show some very interesting data; namely that t he type of mineralization is the same as that of the H otel Area with the possible exception that thet'e has been a later fissuring and vein filling the contact, thus g iving fissure vein and high temperature contact vein along the same zone. This particular contact or mineralized zone covers a considerable portion of the company's property, coming into the group somewhere on the L ucky Claim, and going out at the Clever claim j crossing Nonok No.4, Honey, Hiyaw, Katubu san, Love and Clever claims. Mr. Stewart has reported new discoveries ~n t he cleared area of the Big Vein Zone, and it is quite possible that recommendations will soon be made for the installation of a third compressor to be used in tho roughly exploring this a rea at g r eater depth. T he original contract entered into with Nielson & Co., Inc. to manage the mining work on our property was for only one year. As the preliminary work c:'me by that company has convinced its engineers that all indications are that commer cial ore wii! be obtained in quantities large enough to warrant the er ection of a mill within a I'casonable time, l'.,cielson & Co. , Inc. requested that a new contract be entered into for a longer period of time. After several weeks of careful deliberations on the part of your Board of Directors, a new contract has been made for a period of five years, which will be submitter! to the stockholders for I'atifi('ation at the next Annual Meeting. The most important conditions of this new contract are that ; in place of the Managcrs recciving a percentage of the monthly expenses as compensation, a flat monthly amount is now paid to the Managers, which includes the consulting services of the entire technical staff of Nielson & Co. , Inc. ; when it has been decided to erect a mill, t his monthly salary shall be increased during the period of erecting the mill ; after the mill is in three-fourths production, the monthly salary of th e

R(q)ort fa)' the Month 0/ A tlYllst, }937 Pl'o])crties-The pl'operties of the Paracale Mapalad Mining Co., Inc. consist of three groups of claims:_ (a) 7 full and 2 fractional claillls lying about 1 kilomf:tel' southeast of B:ttobalani along the east side of the 1\'! alapanay RivcI'. These claims are c,'ossed by the Gold Rock rondo (b) 4 full and 2 fractional claims located 700 meters to the southeast of Group (A), northeast of the property of the Nieco Mining Company :::.nd south and east of the Mambulao claims 860 meters southeast of Group (B) and 1,010 mctel'S south of Group (A), Geology and Topogruph7/- The rocks ;n the area of the three gl'oups are genel'Dlly covered by a thick mantle of soil. 'Vhere they have been exposed, diorite is found, Between (A) and (B) groups are boulders of iron ore which are believed to 00 n

continuation of the iron ore b~ds found at Batobalani. Cutting the diorite and extending in several cases up into the earth mantle nearly to the surface are veins of quartz, manganese and iron which arc apparently in two genel'a! system, on running NWSE Ilnd the other NE-SW. Some of these veins have been proved to be of mineable width and are continuous over considerable distances, They all contain some gold and two have sufficiently high values on surface to encourage further prospecting. The topography is unfavorable for easy prospecting for the most part. Low hills covered by coconut and other tropical growth are surrounded by open swampy ground. Road construction is simple and the Malapanay River offers all the water necessary for mining or milling pUl'poses, Timber suitable for mining purposes is scnrce on the claims and will have to be purchased fOl' the most part. Develol)mellt:-The work since the time of my first inspection in June has been concentrated on determ ining the continuity and value of the \'eins a lread)" found rather than on attempting to find additional veins. T,hi s work and the recommended fu rther development is discussed under indh'idual claims. De8criptio/! 0/ Cla17n8-{A) Group-There is a NW-SE vein system in the west part of this g l'OUP which consists of at least two and possibly four distinct veins. The furthest west of these veins has been exposed in Ilossibly 3 trenches but the values near surface are low. About 100 ft. nOltheast of this vein is a sc<:cnd vein which is exposed in a trench near the south side of the San Jose claim. I sampled a portion of this vein which assayed is in a swamp and only a portion of the vein is above water, so that my sample (':01'I'oborates but does not check the I)revious samples of 16" of vein assaying $19,00 to $39.00 which htlve been reported. An attempt was m3de to trace this vein towc.rds the north-west by two trenches, a small Ulltimbered shaft and a short tunnel. The surfnce clay and soil was over twenty feet dee!' and the trenches could now be economically deepened sufficient to expose the vcin, The shaft wa~ only put down to a depth of 20 feet when it wa~ stopped, There is little 01' no wnter in the shaft. It is strongly recommended that this shalt be timbcI'ed and extended as deep as possible wit.h hand methods into bed rock and then a short cro);!' cut be driven northeast and southeast to find the


PHILIPPINES extension of the vein. If the vein, when found, in as good as the vein in the first trench, there will be an excellent chance of developing a mine and this development seem amply justified. At intervals of about 150 feet northeast of this vein there are apparently at least two more veins exposed by trenches in the Malapanay No. 1, Sto. Nino, Mar,y, and San Antonio Cla ims. Sufficient work has not been done on these veins to prove their relationships to the western veins already' described nor to prove their value and continuity. Assays of $0.20 to $1.20 over a width of 12" to 2' have been reported, but work on them has been postponed pending the development of the more interesting appearing western vein. (B) Group-Neal' the southeast corner of the Sto. Tomas Fraction is one of the strongest and best assaying veins on the properties. It was exposed in a trench in a ,wamp, as in the San Jose vein which is now filled with water, with only a portion of the vein show?'ng. My sample of this vein ran $9.09 over a width of 8" as against assays of $14.00 to $39.00 reported by other engineers which again corroborates but does not check the previous sampling.

About 125' northeast of this trench a 65' long trench was driven in an attempt to crosscut this vein but at the north and where the vein could be expected, the trench is only 3 feet' deep and is still in top soil.

383

Additional work is strongly recommended on this vein, and an effort should be made to find it a long the south side of the San Miguel-San Mateo claims and thence across the San Mateo claims. In the north part of the San Mateo claim a strong and persistent vein was traced nearly across the entire claim and three tunnels started to crosscut the vein at depth. Samples of the surface expOSUl'es of this vein have been disappointing and no further work on it is recommended at the present time. (C) Group-Work on the (C) or southerly group has been stopped since my first inspection. A short tunnel and trench exposed a N-S vein with low values. Since assuming direction of the work 14 trencheoS aggregating 310 cubic meters of excavation have dug so that I can testify that the claims have been actively undergoing development for more than six months. SUMMARY- The relatively high values found in two places clearly justify some additional expenditures for development. Tf this addi , ional development is definitely encouraging, that is if a surface exposure of ore is of sufficient length, width and value to indicate the possibility of there being a commercial body of ore on the property, steps should be taken to !lil"k a .. haft and explore the ore at a depth of about 100 feet.

did not reap n single centavo for promotion and the sale of its securities, for not onJy was no commission paid, but the company even realized a capital surplus out of the sale, at over par value, of its securities amounting to P35,OOO.ao. The company was registered at the Mercantile Registry of the Bureau of Commerce on June 24, 1935, with an initial capital of 1'30,000, rai sed through the initiative of former S拢!nator Sotero Baluyot, a Civil Engineer by profession and a miner by avocation. Since that time, the Company has embarked on tl;e ser i (l ll ~j task ';If founding <\ mine so that now i t can l'ightly be called "a real mine in the making."

The Paraeale Mining Development, Company Qwns two gI'O!IPS of Mining Olaims, one group consisting of twenty-three lode claims, of which seven is under option, located in Maglaguitik and !\1agsimalo mountain'!,. a distance of one and a half kilometers Irom the h~wn of Paracale. The other group is composed of 25 lode claims situated in the sitio of Putot, Barrio of ;a.atobalani, ncar the pro"incial road leading to Pat路acale. hIt".,

About 5 Km. 1'oad connecting the Mine in Magsimalo and MagJaguitik mountains to Paracale townsite has been completed. The mining activity of tl,le Company for the preseni is centered mainly in the twenty-three lode claim!<- in Maglaguitik and l\.'Iagsimalo group where rich fl'ee gC'ld is being struck in ahout 400 !'el't above !lea level.

INDUSTRIAL MANUAL gineeri ng Co. in Los Angeles, Califol'Jlia. These laboratories determined the type of mill suitable for ore treatment. The Company has approved to order a 75-ton capacity unii, taking in additional units as the need for them arises. The first unit is expected to be I'cady for milling work before the early part of 1938, The group is covered with forest of good timber and adjacent to a communal forest on the north and northeast sides. For this reason, the company will have an adequate supply for many years. There are a number of creeks a nd springs within the propel'ty which are capable of supplying abundant good water for both drinking and mill purposes. Water rights on two Maglaguitik creeks have already beon granted the Company by the Commonwealth Government. Two granite formations form the country rock of the region, one overlying the other. The upper granite formation is generally soft and alr eady has lost its original texture. The lower gl'anite formation is hard and is still possessing coarse texture. Schist and gneiss are found on the upper granile formation, which fact gives rise to thE! be路 lief that they are the result of heat and pressure of the lower granite formation when it intruded into the upper formation. Minute quantities of micas al'e also found scattered in several parts of thl' upper granite formation.

An a ssay laboratory, fully equipped, has been insinlled. This facilitates the classification of ores.

Acting on the recommendation of the Mining Engineers of the Company, bids will be called in Manila for the su ppl y of a mill to be erected in Paracale. The type of mill is now being determined by the mining engineers in line with the ore-dressing examinations conducted by the American Cyanamid Compan~' of New York, Southwestern Engineering Company of California, Krupp Laboratory of Germany and Engineering Equipment, and Supply Company of Manila, who have forwarded their recommendations to the Company.

Two compressors, an Tngerson Rand compressor and a Gardner Denver com"!)ressor with five jack hammers, have been installed and are working continuou sly.

ippines, the Federated Management and Investment Syndicate, and the International Stock Exchange headed by the former Governor General Francis Burton Harrison, Judge Rafael Corpus and Don Leopoldo R. Aguinaldo respectively, arc, despite their enormous capital, s till offering to the investing public the shares of stock of their companies in order to meet their present business needs and exgenices. This business method is now energetically adhered to by all successful investment companies all the wodd over in Ql'del' to prevent monopoly of interest and concentration of wealth in the hands of a few persons. With the advent of indu stralization and development of the nslut-al resources of our country, it be· comes impe rative now thut there should be a transition fl'om the system of individual ownership to that of corporate organiza tion, depending for its financial existence and su p ort on the sale of stocks and bonds. By means of an investment corporation, the Philippine·Amel'ican rnve tment.s, Inc., is created to make it possible to combme the small savings of millions of small investors ,nto a huge capital for the creation of mammoth ente\Pl'ises, capable of per· forming services beyond the roach of an individual. This is also true with the minin" industry which has brought enormous wealth and prosperity to our country, has given many people livelihood and a steady income.

The problem of investment deals primarily with diverting the savings of an individual into some ~ro­ ductive channels. Peopl e usually invest their savings in enterprises controlled and operated by others in order to get a good return. on their investment. Another important problem of investment is the protection of savings. It was for this specific purpose of affording that protection that the Secul'ities Act was enacted by the National Assembly. This new law as everybody knows has so A CHI Smd"

INDUSTRIAL MANUAL restricted the financing of mining companies and investment corporations and plaea.ti so much responsibility on all connected with the sale of securities that the interests of the invP'5tors are given due protection. The Philippine-American Investments, Inc., will engage in the following activities :-L Holding CompanY.-As an investment company, the Philippine· American Investments, Inc., will diversify its invest· ments by holding blocks of stocks in val'ious profit. able enterprises. Its object is to acquire, hold and sell shares, stocks, debentures, bonds, and securities of any company of good financial standing whether at home or abroad gual'anteed b~' any government, public or municipal authority. I t is believed that this activity alone of the Company in trading in securities will yield immediate and tremendous profits to our investors. II. Financing Company. As a financial 0)'ganization, this Company would provide short term credit on stocks and secul"ilies in which the funds of the Company have already been invested. II I. Promotion. The Philippine American In· vestments, Inc., will deal in the promotion and management of exceptionally good mining properties that after a thorough study by our technical men the mining claims show unmistakable s igns of commercial values. In one promotional work undertaken by the Philippine-American Investments, Inc. in a mining company with a capital of Pesos 1,000,000.00, the gross income of this corporation according to our conservative estimate would be no less than Pesos 200:000.00. We may venturc to say in this connection that within a yea r hence, the Philippine. American I nvestments, I nc., because of its sound business principles and management will be able to promote no less than six mining companies which, we have every good reason to bel ieve will be real-

THE PHILIPPINE CHARITY SWEEPSTAKES With the intensification of want and misery caused by hard times, and wi~h the ever mounting cost of public administration, it is the consensus among Filipino, American as well as foreign elements in the Philippines that the Philippine Government could not have adopted better means of raising funds for purposes of relielI and charity than by organizing the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes. A number of rieh and progressive countries have resorted to sweepstakes to look after their sick and needy. In an advertisement to legalize-lotteries and sweepstakes in the United States, which was pub. lished about a year ago in a magazine of large circulation there as well as abroad, the iollowing appeared: "France adopted a lottel'y to reduce its national debt; Italy to build railroads; Denmark to advance art and music; Holland to advance the sciences; Il'eland to finance the building of hospitals; Spain for charitable institutions; Germany to finance public improvements, etc.; England used to support its navy by public lotteries; early American Cl)lonies permitted lotteries to build schools, churches, and public works and improvements, such as canals, bridges, roads, etc. The Revolutionary War was in part financed with the proceeds of lotteries. Eal'ly buildings of Yale, Columbia and Harvard were built with the proceeds of lotteries."

The Philippines, struggling hal·d to achieve her freedom and stl"iving to keep her finances sound in meeting the increasing cost of government, couln. not remain indifferent to the sufferings of her masses and had therefore, decided to legalize the sweepstakes in face of what the other nations have done for the benefit of their own people. Thus the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes conducts its drawing and races under Act No. 4130. In previous sweepstakes held in the Philippines, small wooden ball s with numbe rs corresponding to the tickets sold wel·e used. Since the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office was organized counterfoils detached from the tickets disposed of were poured into a big cylindl"icn! drum inside of which powerful blowers aloe opemted to provide a thorough mixing. The whole appaz-atus is run by electl"icity. In the last sweepstake held in Manila l\Iay 16 this year a mechanical arm was invented to draw the countcrfoils through the use of suction tubes. Each counterfoil drawn is picked with a pair of pinchers by one of the judges of the draw, thc number on the counterfoil being read by him in a loud voice and then repeated before a microphone and bl·oadcasted by radio. In this way no hand touches the counterfoil, not even the balls conesponding to horses entered in the sweeps race. Since the establishment of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes approximately Pesos 2,000,000 has been raised and allotted to charitable institutions and Pesos 4,200,000 distributed as prizes. The beneficiaries include the Philippine Islands Antituberculosis Society, which has dil·ect charge of the campaign to eradicate the white plague in the Islands; the Philippine Amateur Athletic Federation (P AAF) to help it complete the construction of various buildings at the Rizal Stadium for the building up of a strong Philippine Youth; the Federation of Women's Clubs of the Philippines, which partly looks after the proper care of babies and is fighting to reduce illiteracy in the provinces; and the Asso" ciated Charities of Manila whose work consists in salvaging families torn by dissension between parents and otherwise extending relief to them as 8 l·esult of unemployment and hard times. Other institutions that have l·cceivcd aid from proceeds of the Philippine Chal"ity Sweepstakes are provincial hospitals, Gota de Leche (Gout de Lait) Society, Philippine Boy Scouts, American Guardian Association, Damas Filipinos which maintains a Settlement

House, and a number of clinics and dispensaries which arc giving free service to the Filipino masses.

A Board of Tru stees at the head of which is the Hon. Antonio de las Alas, Secretary of Finance, controls the adminishation and affairs of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes. The members of the board are the I·Ion. Secretary of Publ ic Works, MI'. J. Cuenco, the HOIl. Commissioner of Health 01'. Jose Fabella, a prominent Filipino Merchant in the person of Leopoldo R. Aguinaldo, and an equally prominent American business executive, H. 1\1. Cavender, who is the Philippine Agent of the Dollar Steamship Lines. The Han. Fabian R. !Hillar, several times elected as representative from the province of Tnyabas, is the general manager. With the completion of the Pesos 2,000,000 Santa Ana Park race b,\ack on the outskirts of Manila, the facilities now used by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes for its dkw and races probably excel those of any similar enterprise in the world, thereby enhancing universal con~idence in this Philippine Organization whose motto is: WIN A PRIZE AND SAVE A L1FE.

During 1935 we shipped 310-544 tons of iron ore and 588,638 tons during 1936, an increase of 278,094 tons, or about 90%. The overburden has become quite a problem and we decided, after due consideration, to cut down expenses by buying a % cubic yard Bucyrus-Erie Diesel operated shovel, the cost of which we can save in about one yeal"s operation and at the same time move the overburden much faster. We constructed during 1936 several houses for laborers, many of the present houses were made into two story houses. a bowling alley and recreation hall, storage bins fol' ore, repair shop extended, instAlled a 60 horsepower M.A.N. engine and ge"'leratol' bought from San Mauricio Mining Company, and the small Skandia engine moved to Calambayanga to supply lights for the pier, completed extension of the pier so that it Cfluld take another hoa t like the Manila Railroad boat or the "Atlantic Gulf"

ploration and development work hus been going on at the same time with the mining. While d r illing for water, magnetite orc was found. Also, as mining progressed below the zone of oxidation, morc magnetite showed up in the ore. A magnetometer was purchased and the entire Lurap Peninsula was surveyed. Stl'ong indications of magnetite ore were found in orc bodies being mined and in ore bodies not yet developed. It was decided to use diamond dr illing to get more information a bout this magnetite ore. The magnetite survey showed that much of the stl'uctural geology in the southe)'n part of Larap is different yrom the previous conception which was based up~n the outcr ops and trenches. It is, thus, not possible, to make a fairly accurate estimate of ore reserves'entil the diamond drilling has been completed. The condition of the mine in general as regards developed or e reserves is satisfactory and sufficient or e i exposed at present to take ca r e of production for even"!i yea r s.

The Philippin e Marble Co., Inc., is a corporati on dul y organized under the laws of the Philippin~s with a capital of 2,000 shares of no pal' value. This corporati on was finally incorpora ted on the strength of a continuou s study and investiga tion for the exploitati on and developm ent of marble claims in Ramblon. POI' years the marble industry was not known in the Phil ippines, and although marble deposits are too well known in these Islands, local business geniuses had not taken the initiative of establishi ng the marble industry. The organizers of t he Philippin e Marble Co., Inc., after severa! months of study and investigat ion of the rich marble deposits in Romblon Province, were convinced of the existence of the i'qexhaus tible marble deposits in the said Islands which were of high commerci al vallie comnarable to those of the United States, Italy and othel' foreign counq'ies producing marble. Therefore , in 'Jl'gnnizillg the Philippin e Mnl'b!e ro., Inc., the organizer s have no other purpose than to establish an industr~' which wag heretofor e unknown in this country a nd to \elp the economic developm ent of the Philippin es. \ PROPERTY The Philippin e Marble Co., Inc., is the owner of almost all the marble claims on the Island of Romblon and neighbori ng Islands. Claims wer e staked and registered in December of last year and then restnken in February of this year. Other companie s and groups of individua ls have tried to stake marble claims in Romblon last April but t hey were too late. The Corporati on has the exclusive right to the occupancy , possession and beneficial use of the said marble claims and guarante e.'i that it has the full legal right to the use, possession and enjoymen t of the said claims as well as the right to appropria te and remove the marble found therein. The Company owns a total of 37 claims with a total area of 2,036 hectares. PHILIPP INE MATCH COMPAN Y, LTD.

tion. The capital of the Corpol'lltion is Pesos 49,500.00" divided into 4,950,000 shares of a par value of Pesos 0.01 eacb. The subscribed capit!!.J stock to date is Pesos 19,499.99 of which the paid up is Pesos 6,250.03. I n the opinion of Manager Baluyot, the method of mining of chrome ore is so simple that it does not require heavy capitalization like the mining of gold and allied metals. This explains why the Philippine Mineral Mining Corporation carries to start the present initial capitalization. However, as soon as the Corporation can secure from the Government the evaluation of its claims in Zambales, the Philippine Mineral Mining Corporation will increase its capitalization to not less than Pesos 1,000,000 capital stock. Permit to sell shares was granted by the I n-sular Treasurer on July 12, 193~ In Zambales, the Company's holdings consist of 235 fuU lode mineral claims, valued chiefly in chrome ore, located in the barrio of Guisguis, Sta. Cruz, Zambales, and properly regist-e ed in the office of the Mining Recorder of the Pro~nce of Zambales. This is the biggest single group of claims owned by any mining corporation in the Philippine Islands. The distance of this groU I) of mineral claims to the road leading to Sta. Cruz, is 9.5 Km. It lies north of the Zambales Chromite 1Iining claims. Manager Baluyot reported that inside the group the r e are five big size deposits already explored and estimated to contain not less than 50,000 tons of chromite. The outcrop of the ore body in these deposits covel' a total of about 100,000 squal'C' feet oi rough country. This group is cut off by t he Nayum ri-rer, nnvi~able in almost aU year around. This river ha, an outlet to the sea coast and besides furnishing water supply will facilitate the transportation of chrome ore to the coast town of Sta. Cruz, where the Corporation will store their ol'e preparatory for shipment. The assays from the different samples obtained from this property and submitted for analysis run consistently to an average of 53%, Cr~ 0 , Chromite Oxide, altho the best sample gave 65 %. Aside from this property the Corporation also owns Manganese deposits in BUrgos, Ilocos Norte, and Iron Hematite Deposits in the barrio of Marapado, Mangatarem, Pangasinan.

The development plan as outlined by the Board of Directors caUs for the continuation of a most thorough examination and exploration work of this chromite Deposits in Zambales which has been under way for sometime. The work is being carried on and there is reasonable assurance that the surface ex· posures consisting of floats of chl'omite will carry to depth and prove to be of great value. The COl'poration has established its camp neal' the discovered deposits to facilitate the work. The first supply of chrome ore taken from the property has been ~hipped to an impol·tant foreign firm dealing in chrome, and with whom the corporation expects to come to terms for the sale of its pI·oduct.". Ma nager Baluyot reported that the present season in Zambales is most advantageous to mine the deposits by opening cuts and qua\'l'ying the ore from the topside of lhe del)Osits, and then haul the chrome ore down below, b)t means of dry-shoots, where facilities abound for transporting the chrome ore to the storing place located at the coast of Sta. Cruz, Zambales. The dr)'-shoots will concentrate !ohe ore mined by this operation to the bank of the Nayum River, where tl'ucks and bull-cat·ts al'e accessible besides the available "cascos." This wOI'k will pave the way fOI' the corpol'ation to huild ore reo serves to be held in readiness for bu?el"s demand and ready for immediate shi pment. To improve the inland transportation to the mines, the Corporation plans to undertake the cons· truction of a road which will connect with the main provincial road leading to the l\Junicipality of Sta. Cruz. This will cover a distance of apPl'o.: dmatelr 9% Kms. and upon its completion it wil! facilitate the hauling of its products by land. Sta. Cruz is located on the sea coast with ideal port facilitie~ safe throughout the year for vessels to cal l. The actual cost of operation pel' ton of ore is considerably low in comparison with other mining outfits, according to Senator Baluyot. At the present prices of chromite, the tonnage in the deposit at sight has a value of approximately Pesos 500,000.00. There is an abundant supply of cheap labor in the vicinity of Sta. Cruz, Zambales. Wages run to an average of about Pesos 0.60 a day. This serves as an incentive to the management to I'ush wholesale exploration and development work.

Dikit, Auditor The Philippine National Bank was established to remedy deficiencies in the banking system of the Philippines, Before the establi shment of this Bank, the banking field was controlled by branches of la rge foreign banks, 2 of them British and one Amel路ican. The only bank of importance which was contl'olled by local capital (the Roman Catholic Church) was the Bank of the Philippine Islands which was originally established under a Royal Decree, from the Spanish Govel'1lment, of 1851. The branches of the foreign banking institutions hardly used any of their capital in the development of the natural resources of the Philippines a s they confined their transactions ch iefly to the financing of imports and exports thru exchange transactions. This condition of things placed the great burden of thc economic development of the Philippines upon the Bank of the Philippine I slands but the resources of thc latter bank were not sufficient to meet the legitimate demands for credit. Furthermore, the close cooperation of the foreign banks brought about a vel')' rigid control of interest and exchange rates which resulted in making the cost of banking services vcry high for the communit~,. Tn order to relieve inadequate banking facilities. the Philippine Government followed a policy of making loans for agricultural purposes from the public fun"<ls. Thi s was usually accomplished by depositing funds largely with the Bank of the Philippine Islands on condition that tht> deposits were to be invested in agricultural loans, In addition to this, the Govel'nment established an Agricultural Bank with n capital of Pl ,OOO,OOO which also had the use of funds deposited by the Insular Treasurer. These 81'1'nngeme nts were by no means entirely sufficient to correct the indequatc facilities obtaining at the time and it was held that a more comprehensive scheme for the relief of the agricultural credit s ituation shou ld be undertaken.

THE COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL MANUAL

After a thorough study of local conditions and thru the very able help given by Dr. H. Parker Willi s who was invited by the Philippine Government to help es tablish a bank, the Philippine LegislatUl'a e nacted on February 4, 1916, Act No. 2612 which provided for the establishment of a bank to be known a s the Philippine National Bank. This law, among others , provided that the Govcl'nment should subscribe 10.1 million pesos of the capital stock of the new bank, part of which subscription was t o be made b y transferring the a ssets of the Ag r icultural Bank to t he new ins titut ion, the remainde r to be paid in cash. The balance of the stock wa s to be offered to the public, but the shares in the hands of the Government to be always in excess of those held by the public. The Bank. at th is writing is capitalized at P10,000,000 with a sUI'nlu<; of pg,487,OOO.00. T he, Bank is managed by nine dir ectol's of whom on\ is a Cha irman and another a Vice-Cha irman. The Bank a s organized unde r Act No. 2612 was given very broad powers 'n order that it might be of material assistance to Ihe devC!lopment of agriculture. It is at present allowed to grant long-term agricultural loans .against m\ tgage on real estate

properties, provided that the total amount of such loans does not exceed 60% of the paid in capital and surplus of the Bank. Furthermore, the Bank is authorized to assign whatever rights it might h3ve on these mortgages and to sell bonds against them using the proceeds acquired in this manner for new advances for agricultural loans. The Bank is likewise empowcred to do a varied commercial banking bu siness. The Philippine National Bank is the only bank in the Philippines. aside from the Bank of the Philippine Islands, which is given the privilege of noteissue. These notes of the Bank arc redeemable in lawful money of the Philippine Islands, and are receivable in payment of all government taxes and dues. In addition to the privilege of note-issue and the authority to make the different kinds of loans aforementioned, the Bank is empowered to grant crop loans, accept paper, establish branche~ , and "generally undertake every banking function." The Bank has been designated as the sole depOSitory of fund s\ of the Insular, provincial and municipal gnvernm~ts in the Philippines. The law makes it obl:-

PHILIPPINES gatory for these governmental units to make thei!." deposits with the Philippine National Bank, except

when in the judgment of the President of the Commonwealth it is necessary for public interest to make deposits in other banks, in which case the Chief

Executive may authorize this to be done under such conditions as he might deem proper. The law also requires provincial and municipal treasurers to sen"c as agents of the Bank without extra compensation. It will be seen from the above that the Act creating the Philippine National Bank not only created a bank with very broad powers but als,) provided fOl" the ownership of a majority of the capital stock by the Government and makes the Bank the official government depository, thereby making it a governmental rather than a private institution. It should be borne in mind, however, that the Philippine National Bank is no sense a "banker's ban·k." It is a commercial ban, \controlled by the Government. After existing for twe~y years the Philippine National Bank has at prese'nt 10 branches in th~ Philippine Islands, an agency in New York City, 4(; agencies in the different provipces in t he Philip. pines and correspondents in all the important citie.:; of the world. It has capital and surplus of P19,487.00 P178,005,000.00 and totel }'esources of P157,000,OOO as of June 30, 1937 which is more than 50 % of the total re!\Ollrces of banks operating in the Philippines. In connection with its 46 agencies, the Philippine National Bank maintains 964 sub-agencies 10 · cated in the 46 of the 49 provinces of the Philippines. The idea in the establishment of these agencies is to bring within the reach of the smallest farmer in the remotest barrio in the country the much needed credit for the development of agriculture. The only provinces where there are no agencies and sub-agencies are Davao, Surigao and Batanes. A branch is, however, located at Davao. An agency is expected to be opened soon at Surigao.

It consists of 1,200 hectares in rectangular form, the long boundary l'unning due North and South. The east boundary line lies about 3/ 4 of a mile due west of the Banio of Burdeus. Inter-island boats travell ing between Manila and the Island of Polillo must pass thru th"a San Bernardino Straits an approximate distance of 600 mi les. Boats of any size can enter Burdcus Bay, which is about 4 miles distant from the property. The bay is welJ protected a nd although there are many shoals and COI'al reefs, a few buoya and lights would make navigation quite safe. A pier approximately 500' long would have to be conshucted for Ibading boats.

Location: The Nabago Group of Lode Claims li~s :n sitio Nabago and Capalayan, Barrio Are. llano, Municipality of Surigao, Province of Surigao, Island of Mindanao. It consists of 50 full lode claims. It is accessible from the town of Surigao by launch and trail. The distance by launch is about 12 km., by trail 3 km., totalling 15 km. The course followed by launch is fail'ly wcll protected and should allow of all year traffic. Th2 tuil can ultimately bc conv~l\.tcd into a 5'/0 gradz road. Another approach to this property is by the provincial road from Surigao, turning off at Km. 10 and following the privau road thru the ground belonging to the Surigao Oriental Mining Co. and continuing or. by road or trsil to the Nabago Group. This d:stanee has be~n estimated at 15 to 17 km. Topography: The topog\aphy is one of the low general relief with local ~ccl1rl'ences of steep slopes approaching cliffs in ~Iaces. The No. 9 Tunnel portal is 300 feet above sea level. The crest of the hill over this tunnel is possibly another 300 feet higher. Watersheds are short. Gene"ut Geology: No attempt was made to study the geology of the entire group, observations being confined to the sea upon which exploration is being actively carried on within the Nabago Claims Nos. 25, 26, 32 and 33. The trail from Catu Cace where the landing is located, to the camp site shows exposure of sholes, limestone and basic igneous rocks more or less in the order named. A tunnel No.9 the first rock encountered is partly serpentinized rock, the original of which was prob. ably approaching the ultra basics. This rock will be referred as serpentine. Along the course of this tunnel is next found on andesite porphyry in con. tinuous mass as far as and beyond the Baguio Vein. In this andesite there al'e found occurrence of silicified breccias the origin of which is not evident, All the feature along the course of the No.9 Tunnel arc in andesite porphyry. St?'1tctuml a1ld Eco1lo·mical. Geology: The structural geology as shown in the exploration cross cut and drifts is fairly simple. Apparently many of the fractures in the andesite porphyry are tension

423

crocks of considerable persistence in strike. The Bnguio, Nevada and Nabago Veins are of this type. Tunnel No. 11 is driven along a persistent fault which has shown no dislocation as far as it has bcen Opened. The breccias called the Bonanza vein as shown in No.4 and No.7 Tunnels are difficult to explain as now exposed, but will be bettel' exposed by work in progl·ess. The Premier Lode will prob. ably be shown to be a deposit related to the contact between th(> serpentinized basics and the andesite porphYI·Y. There seems to be evidence developing to show that the Nevada Vein has been crossed by faults of very little movement but which have caused locally intert'Sified silicifications and concentration of values. Work now in progl'ess will clarify some assumptions made regarding the Nevada structure. About N 80 0 E 1,000 feet from tunnel No. 9 there is oreccia within the serpentine which is re. lated to wide quartz croppings. These croppings can be roughly lived parallel to the Nevada and Baguio Veins and may upon further investig~tion prove persistent fissuring in the sel·pentine. Veil~ System: Thus far five major features have been located in the order mentioned along the course of No.9 Tunnel the P remier Lode; the Na. bago Vein, the Nevada Vein, the Bonanza Vein and the Baguio Vein. The Kalibu outcrops are still to be identified as related to these features . Tile Pnmu'cl' Lode: This feature has been prospected by open cuts and shallow depth cross cuts. Samples range below a dollar and thus far have been S\lrface material in quartz and oxide croppings. No serious work has been done here as yet.

The strike of this occurrence is North 20 0 E and dips possibly 50 0 ; decidedly 11101'e than the l'emainder of the known features. The Nabago Vein: This oCCUl'rence has been prospected at shallow depth by drifts and cross cuts. Samples cut by the company have shown varying width and values. Samples cut by the writer showed an extreme range. One sample ran 10,49 oz. ($367.15 new price) of gold indicating local con· centl'ation of values. This vein is of var.ying strike. It splits, one branch striking about north and the other about 0 20 East of north. The dip is nearly vertical. Nevada Vein: This vein has been opened by two drifts on either side of a creek in a Northerly and Southerly direction.


THE COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL MANUAL

424

]\lev'lda North Tlt7t1tel No. :J: This is drift on the vein from the portal to the face 232 feet long. One hundred and six (l06) feet from the portal a winze is going down. The vein is persistent for the full length of the drift. Its general strike is East of North, ranging from N 100 E to N 40 0 E. 'J' he walls nre irregular in dip but the nverage position of the fissure is almost vertical. The values ocelli' in the vein itself but at times wall samples avoiding stringers assays about ~LOO. From the portal to St.'\tion 109 the values are erratic and low. H owevel' from Station 109, fOl' 67 feet, there is a good, shoot of ore of consistent high value averaging 19.3" wide at $47.50. The walls for a foot on ench side of the vein will avcmge close to $1.00 hence a stoping width of 43" would yield $12,80, The gold values arc very free and pan· ning in the field showed fine and coarse gold w ithout crushing the samples, In the ore shoot sulphides are almost nil. NCIl.l' Station 69 there is a n occulTence of massive quartz cal'l'ying sul phi~es, One assay acl'OSS 40 i:1.ches ran $21.70, This i ~ an intel'esting occurrence becanse ~ulphide .. at this level are no l p1'esent at Stati,m 109 where a pel'sistent ore shoot has been developed,

PH ILIPPINES The Nuhago he,ll's a relation to the Nevada which may improve its economic position especially on the No.9 tunnel level. There is a possibility in connection with the Nabago, Nevada and Bonanza of development of a low grade tonnage. This should be investigated by a few preliminary cross cuts and close sampling. This is indicated by the consistent wall values which are found near the veins and which may be brought higher by stl"ingel's to a low commel'cial gt'ade.

The No.9 Tunnel will 1)I'Ove atl stl'uctUl'es along The intersection of the Premier is rather shallow being 45 ft. However, the depth of 104 feet fOl' the Nabago, 129 feet for the Nevada, 270 feet the Bonanza and 150 feet fot the Baguio Vein al'e sufficient. its course at a decisive horizon.

CamLl) and B!i1ldiJ!gs: Present camp is built on a Knoll located ab about the center of the property and near the pre\ent workings. This can be reached il'om the shore through a carabao trail of ahout 3 kilometers. There are at present six houses built of locally cut timber and roofed with nipa, that serves as quarters for the miners besi(les a company store shed and blacksmith shop. On a high hill overlookinf the miner's camp is a forty by forty comfortable stuff house for the resident engineer. Neal' the portal of the main cross cut Tunnel Nc. 9 is a galvani:r.ed iron shed about 20 by 40 feet that houses the compressEd air plant and the blacksmith shop. EqUl~pment: No inventory was made of the equipment of the company but besides the usual equipment for an exploration outfit the company have a C. P. T. compressor 285 cu. ft. displacement connected to a Buda Diesel engine, thl'ee I ngersoll Rand Jackhammers, Oil Forge and Drill Sharpener, 12 mine cars of 12 and 16 cu. ft. capacity and about 4000 ft. of 12 lb. rails. Timber is plentiful and of a grade for mining pu r poses and construction. Water is reported to be running in the stream below No.9 tunnel in all year quantities .3ufficient for a 150 ton cyanide plant. ConclttBion.: The Nabago Group has reached t he point where one of the veins, the Nevada ('an

be said to be entering the first stages of development. This has been done with speed and econom~·. The group is now provided with buildings for its supervising' staff and laborers sufficient for the completion of exploration. Equipment is adequate and of high grade. The No. 9 Tunnel is stl'agetically located and should be pushed to reached the Nevada Vein. Should the Nevada show as well as it has in the Nevada North Tunnel No.3, there will be a possibility of blocking out enough ore for a development mill planned on a unit basis. If the Baguio Vein proves values on its proposed exploration level, than No.9 Tunnel should be driven beyond the Nevada to reach the Baguio, meantime cr oss cutting the area North of the Bonanza outcrop.

The last issue of the "Minel'al Resources of the Philippines" publisbed the fact that chl'omite has been found in Zambales, Panay, Antique, Ilocos Norte, and Camarines Sur. In this last province, South Camarines, especially in the district of Lagonoy at the foot of the Putianay mountain, this precious and useful mineral has been found in large quantities. It is precisely in this l·egion that P utianay Mines Association has its clai ms. More specifically they are located in the Sitio of P ~ianay, barrio of Dahat, municipality of Lagonoy. The Putianay Mines Association has 50 claims covering an area of approximately 450 hectares. The Philippine Engineering Corporation has made assays of samples secured from these claims and the reports showed 52.3 % Cr~03 ( Lab. No. 11307) for lot No. 3388 and 52.6 '10 Cr~O~ (Lab. No. 11306) for lot No. 3368. The assays above referred to also show iron in the or e 17.2 0/0 Fe in one sample and 52.5 % in another sample. FOl' the exploration, exploitation, and development of these m;neral claims the Putianay Mines Association has been formed. It is organized by Messrs. Nicolas Rafols, Maximo Kalaw, Camilo Osias, Manuel A. Aizate, Ma:ximino Noel, Bernardo S·son, Dom :nador B. Ambrosio and A. Haddad . The claims of the Association possess high grade ore. The Florannie Mining Company and the Lagonoy Gulf Explorat:oll Company, both leased by Benguet Consolidaled Mining Company have properties adjoining those of the Putianay Mines Association. are of high grade is therein foun'<i, besides iron.

speaking, belongs in the same uses of chromium have increased man :fold in recent years. It is useful when a.lloyed with other metals in t he paint and tanning industries. Chromium compounds are utilized ill large quantities in the dye industry. Chromium is also used in the automob.le industry and in the metallUrgical trade. It is the part of practical patriotism in t his epoch of Philippine history to develop the country's resources.

The pI·opel·ties of the ol'ganization, which consist of two mineral gI'OU[lS at 50 lode claims each group, have been inspected and examined by Mr. Bernurdo R. Cuesta, competent Licensed Mining EnS'ineer~ on .June, 1937. According to said Engineer Cuesta, these properties arc predominantly mineralized with copper as the primary mineral· ization found in gl'eat quantity. The Ore, it is to be added, aside from the fact that it has the commerciul quantity, it is also being rated as one of the highest in quality, as proven by the assay results of t.he Adamson School of lndustl'ial Chemistry, which gi\'es 43.60 9'D pure. The Organiza tion has, furthermore, numerous option-contracts with various ciaimowners, of which three are meeting favorable consideration by the Management. These arc Lhe two groups in Aguilar, consisting 125 lode copper claims located adjacent to the properties of reputable mining corporations, namely: the Philippine Mineral Corporation, Nlpa Grove Mining Co. and the Radi Gold and Copper Mines Co., and while it is true that in these first two mineral g roups there has heen conceded by our experts, as among the best mineralized in the neighborhood, it must be also true in the Gold Placer, in Pozol'l'ubio, of which the general geology further indicates evel'r possibilities of a payin~ mine, aside from the fact that from t.ime to time the people nearby, has made the panning of gold their loeal industry. Like the copper, this property is being neighbored by the no-less progressive mining concern, the Mal'sman & Con)pany, as it lies parallel to its would·be factory site. Presently, the organization is considering various negotiations with several corporations and foreign capitnlists ill (,01ln('{'Lion with the Ore production will thereafter be produced by the Enterprise.

Ore to tlhe value of Pesos 458,696.58 was mined during the year. Thi s represents 58,987 tons of an assay value Pesos 7.78 pCl' ton. The mining cost per tOil was Pesos 3.54, distributed as follows; Labor Pesos 1.28; explosive, caps and fuse Pesos 0.56; timber Pesos 0.42 j drill repair, steel, carbide and other supplies Pesos 0.30; supervision assaying and miscellaneous cost Pesos 0.87 per ton. Stoping methods have been ~ractically standardized on the cut and fill method. Ore passes and manways are timber ed with round cribbing. Production per man is approximately one ton per man empJoyed underground, including capatazes, contra.ctors, samblers and train crews hauling ore to the mill. All exploration and ore extraction !\(e done on contract. The mill operated in a most satisfactory manner and 58.897 dry tons of ore were treated, an average of 176 tons per day.

In order to furfuer reduce costs and to increase our revenue, it is planned to add a Secondary grinding unit. We have asked for a 4 10 tube mill which will grind an additional 40 tons of ore per day, or 1,200 tons per month. T,reating marginal ore of Pesos 5.61 value, this should increase our revenue Pesos 6,000.00 per month.

Difficulties have been experienced with the power plant during the year. Ten days operation were lost to the DieseJ Engines. On November 2, one unit failed and operation has been carried on at approximately 65 per cent capacit.y to the time of writing this report. New parts have been supplied by the fac'ory, and have arrived at the plant. It is expected that we will be on full operation by March 1st and that no further difficulties will be expel'ienced. In spite of the above difficulties, verr excellent costs were made in power produced. Total power produced was 1,487,410 kilowatt hOU1'S, at a cost of two and one-half centavos per KWH. Onehalf centavo of this represents haulage cost of fue~ and lubricating oil from Manila to the mille. The cost of power fOI' mining and milling was Pesos 0.65 per ton of ore, distributed as follows: Mining Pesos 0.11; milling Pesos 0.43; pumping, tramway, domestic lighting and power Pesos 0.11.

A large supply of timber is not. can'ied as this is purchased locally as r equired. The summary of ore reserves that follows indicates only pOSitive ore that is blocked out and is ready for extraction. No attempt has been made to indicate the amount of probable orc in the mine_ Due to the fact that bhe values of the ore in the Salacot vein are not uniform, I have been guided in artiving at this estimate not only by the results of systema'ic sampling in the vein, and of car samples, but by the experience and results obtained in the last year in the mining of blocks of ore in different P81'ts of the mine. The results obtained, indicate an average value per ton that will require the utmost efficiency and economy of operation to mine and mill this ore at a

ceived, are so promising and favorable that the director s have under discussion several plans for thc immedinte development of the property. Two months of electricnl geophysicnl work conducted by Developments, Inc. is summarized in a fifteen page report which has been delivered to the Snn Seb:lstian Mining Company. Out of fifty-nine samples taken and assayed in the course of their work the engineers in charge of the geophysical survey reported fifty-five of them contained values. Five asays were particularly high running $78.40, $43.60, $26.00, $23.60, nnd $20.00 old price. The report comments mosb favorably on t hc res ult.'> obtained as warranting extensi ve development work. "The geophys{cal survey which was recently conducted on our Paracale property has shown us that our faith in the claims is justified," said Mr. H. C. Elie, general manager and director of the companr. "Th e record of values found and the extensive electrical structure!; outlined clearly indientes t.hat the Company has a valuable property in Pnracale. \ "We al'e ha\'inl!; the ent\rE' report printed and this 'w ill be sent to our stockholders so that they can see for thems(!lves, "The report dedal'es thnt twelve structu res have been traced electrically and recommends immediate development work on five of them, with additional prospecting on the others. The report outlines proceedure for further work which is correlated with the results of t h e geophysical stll'vey/' concluded Mr. Elie. When asked what action the Board of Dil"(~c­ tors planned for the immediate development of the pI'Opel·t)t, 1\11". Elie st..... ted thnt one would be ma de in the ver y near future. The Snn Sebastian l\lininr:: Company was 01'A:anized on September 2. 1fl3G and acquired the fourteen claims in Paracale on which considerable development worl: has heen completed before the geophysical survey was undel·tnken. In addition to the Paracale group, the company owns twenty claims in the Angelo dis trict of Tayabas on which prospecting work has been going 011 for several months. Mr. EJie staled that all stockholders of record would r('('eive a copy of the geophysical )'eport within the nl'xt ten days.

The following is a resume of the operations of the Santa Barbara J\Iining Co., Inc., as of August 19th 1937, and of its situation at the present time. condensed from the reports of its Mine Superintendent. The pros pecting of the property hns been c(\nducted by means of tunnels and exploration ~haft and the results have been highly encoumgin~. I. ill now well established that the property of lhl! Santa Barbam Mining Co, located cast and adjOining the San Mauricio Mining Co. property at Jo~


PH lLIPPINES Panganiban, is situated precisely on the zone of contact between the grano diorite intrusive body and the basic rocks. This contact has been mapped and extends from one end to the othel' of the property in an ineguJar East-West dil·ection. Normal to this contact and following a general N-IooE. direction, several veins have been located and due to the heavy overburden in certain parts of the property, there arc most certainly more veins to be found by cross-cutting underneath at a suffici~nt depth. For that purpose it has been decided ~ sink a permanent two-compartment shaft to approximntely 300 feet below the 100 Level cross-cut, aiter which a new cross-cut, the 400 Level. wiII be driven all the way through the 11l'OPCl'ty in an EastWest direction. The advantage of this plan is that it will enable us to cross-cut at sufficient depth all the veins that form a pal'allel system directed approximately N-100E, and that this 400 Level will eventually become the main haulage and drain tunnel of the mIne. There is plenty of good timber in the property and we have already stocked quite a considerable amount of lumber for the shailt, a good proportion of which is YacaJ. The ground is hard gneiss gl'anite formation and although very hard, breaks clean and requires a minimum of timbel'ing. No mud or silt is apprehended and any water that we encounter will be eASy to pump. The 100 Level cross-cut is at the present writing 260 feet ft-om the portal and is expected to cut the fil'llt vein within the next 60 feet. The dip of this vein will determine the exact most convenient location of the shaft which wiII be started immediately. Purchase of machinel'y in order to speed up the development has been agl'eed and, in view of the excellent results so far obtained, it is the opinion of the engineers and directors that a stationary power plant be installed from the first. This will in time result in a considerable saving of money as such machinery can be operated at nearly lh tho.! cost of portable engine operation, The house of the Superintendent, wl\ter system, office, cl\mp buildings, bunk houses and bode. gas have all been completed, No new buildings are at present neccssary, except a new powder magazine for which a better location has been selected and which can be built at a very moderate cost.

There are some conflicts with adjoining properties and for this reason, a very careful study and exhau~tivc investigation not only of the title of the Santa Burbam Mining Co., Inc. but also of the adjoining properties has been conducted with the result that we are now satisfied of the perfection of OU1' title and in a position to defeat any challenge thereof. MI'. Charles M. Smith, formel'ly connected with the Magna Copper Mines of Arizona and recently with the Balatoc Mining Co., is in ch3l'ge of the property and he has a few very good men with him. As soon as interesting featUres of development warrant it, another report will be given. J.

CI'oSSCUL is now 290 feet in. A one foot vein was cut this week. No assays as yet. For the next 600 feet thcre are 11 known veins which should be cut. Present crosscut on 100 level is really lower than that as it has between 180 and 310 feet of backs. However we plan to sink the two compartment shaft from the 100 level as SOOI1 as we cut the main g~OUp of the formation down 300 feet and then combined crosscutting in the same direction. The shaft will later be connected outside through l'Ilising about 20C feet which will d~caner than sinking from the sudace. In the east side neal' Gumaus Bay, of three known veins, one is believed to be the whi te quartz vein with free ~old of which so many specim~ns have been peddled in the distl·ict. Work there is slow on account of too much water and low topography. We are n'Ot spending much on assays. We know from Snn Mauricio p(>ople that their values are stal·ting below the 200 foot level and we are geologically higher than they arc. Will stal't sampling in earnest when deeper down.

PRODUCTION

STAGE

The Santa Rosa :Mining Company's guld property, which is situated in Mambulao, Para('aie Dis-

449

trict, Camarines Norte, is rapidly reaching the production sw.ge, and should start milling early next year. The Comp'lnY is fortunate in having an ideal site for the surface plant, approximately in the center of the property. The site is a natural amphitheater, on the south and east slopes of which are situated the Power House, Shops, Assay Office, Mill, Bodega and General Offices. On the north slope, a new eamp consisting of modern bunl!alows is being built for the operating staff. The most modern and alI essential equipment has been purchased for all department of the operation to assure the maximum production at the lowest possible cost, and all equipment necessary for the mill has already arrived and is now being installed at the Mine. Sufficient equipment has been provided to permit not only an extensive and rapid development of the known economically mineralized veins but to prospect the many veins wh~ch outcrop in the property, and which up to date have not been explored Eight thousand feet of all classes of development work has been done on the veins being developed, and three levels a r e now being prepared for extraction. Vein widths range from a maximum of 23 feet to 30 inches and the average width of vein is sufficient to permit clean mining with the mining methods which will be employed. The present ore res<:!rves of the Sar.ta Rosa property are those which have been developed in the Pelang and Luna Veins; no development work having been done so far on several other veins where indications . are ver.y favorable, owing to the fact that the development of the Pelang and Luna Veins has indicated that there is very probably sufficiE'nt minerable ore in these two veins alone to supply the mill for several years. It ha!; been found unnecessary to develop other veins up to the present time as the development work for the start of operations on the above mentioned two veins has continued to block out good minerable ore in satisfactory quantities. As soon as the new power generating plant is completed, an intensive development pr~ gram will be undertaken with the object of increasing the ore reserves sufficiently to permit the maintenance of n fixed tonnage of proved reserves at all times. The present ore reserves are estimated at 70.000 tons of proved and prospective ore, having a value of P2,874,000.00. Probable ore is estimated

vcr~' conservatively at 50,000 tOllS having an estimated value of 1'1,750,000.00. This gives a total vallie of P4,624,OOO.OO, without considel'ing the potl!ntial value of undeveloped veins which prospecting has proved to contain large quantities of good o"re, and which some engineers have estimated to contain 110t under 1)10,000,000.00 in gold. Even a SU lle r ficial examination of the Santa Rosa Jll'OJlCl't~' cannot fail to impress an engineer of its tremendous po~sibilities.

MINE

The l\'line is sCl'vpd by tw(' thl'cc-computment shaf~, 3,000 feet apart. The south shaft known as the Pelting, and which is ]90 feet deep, will be used pr imarily for the handling of men and materials and the transfer of waste from one level to another fOI' PUI'poses of stQpe filling. This shaft will be served by a single dum, electric hoist for the reason that below the PI' sent bottom of the sh1'.ft, it wi!l be continued with two compartments, there being no need fOl" the third compartment, The second or north shaft is the main hoisting or mill sh aft, and is being sunk well into the footwall as a threecompartment shaft. I t will be served by a double drum, Allis-Chalmers hoist, and will be equipped with a 75-foot head frame having 6-feet diameter sheaves. Hoisting wiJI be done with 2-ton Kimberly-tY I>e skips which will be loaded automatically from hll'ge 01'C storage pockets underground and which will be self-dumping into the mill coarse ore bin. The economy and efficiency of skip hoisting is well known, and as all properties which attain an~t depth must eventually l'esort to this type of hoi sting, it was considered economical to use thi!i s~'stem .from the start. Main haulage in the l\line will be dOl'" with a 3-1 / 2-ton storage battery locomotive, and well desip:n(:d shaft stations are beinr cut. to a ssure t h e maximum efficien-:y in on~ tl'ansportation and handling. Main haulage levels will be established on C-VC1'y third level, and will be provided with ample orc storage pockets. Or es from intennediate levels will he passed to the ore pockets t hrough ore transfers. Conventional horizontal cut and fill mining methods will be used and it is hoped that ill the lower levels, shrinkage stoping can be employed. MILL The mill has been designed for a maximu m ton nage of 260 tons, but provision s has been made for a possible future inc rease to five or six hundred

tons. Here again, the Company has for eseen t he convenience of employing a combina tion f lotationcyanide flow sheet for maximum extmction of t he valuable minerals. POWER GENERATION ANI) SHOPS Two 690-RP. Fairbanks-Morse, 2-cyc!e Diesel Engines, di r ect connected to 460 kilowatt, <180 volts, 3 phase, 60 cycle General E lectr ic generator s, arc being installed. This current will be stepped up to 2,300 volts for transmission to all scctions of the MinI' wherc it wiil be stepped down to 440 volts. A ],200 c.f.m. Ingersoll-Rand compl'cssor will s upply the compressed air for th e Mine.

All shops: mecha n ica l, electrical and d r ill shul'penin g will be housed in one building. The shop s arc st rategically situated to sel'\'e both Mine, Mill and Power Rouse. Shop equipment is complete and of the ~st, and much equipment will be manufactured on the property. This is essentinl owing to the grellt distance of the Mine from Manila. SAFIITY A~O I NDUSTRIAL RELATIONS The company is making a special effor t to introduce all possible safety methods and equipment for the protection of its personnel.

A new barrio fOr the labor is being constructed with well-la id out stl'('ets a nd modern houses, with nl) san itation facilities. A we!l-equipped hospital, with a competent doctor and nurses has been provided. In brief, the Santa Rosa Mining Company, Inc., is doing everything possible to make t h is enterprise one of the most successful and efficiently oper ated Mines in the Philippines. R. G.

from the open trenches and shallow holes over con路 siderable distance, It was firstly discovered by one of the best known early prospectol's, a Frenchman referred to by the Filipinos as Don Maximillano, and apparently he explored most of the known gold ioealities; early in the Jast century, ihe made his home on the east of Lake l\1ainit where he did most of his mining, and is said to have died at Surigao many years ago a very wealthy man.

The Santo Rosario SUl'igao Mines, Inc. owns two group of properties, all locuted in SUl'igao. One grou p of properties consists of fifty (50) minel'al lode gold claims, with clear a nd quiet title, located near Lake Ma init, in the Municipality of Bacuag, situated immediately Northeast of the SUrigao ConAnother group consists of solidated Mining Co. forty-two (42) full lode claims and is located in the Bar,rio of AnaoaoJl, Municipality of Surigao. bounded on the East bY. the N01'bh Mindanao Mining Co., on the South by' public and private land, and on the West by private land and the Mindanao sea. It is located about three kilometers from the capital of Surigao province.

Mr. Franklin E. Johnson has been formerly t,he Chief Engineer of the Bnlatoc. now the largest producing mine in the Philippines. In addition to the ah'eady mentioned groups of claims, this corporation has in view several other very interesting and promising properties of gold, manganese, iron and copper claims has been made by our engineer. Location: Th is g )'oup of claims consists of '12 full lode claims and is located in the Barrio of Anaoaon, Municipality of Surigao, Province of Surigao, Island of Mindanao, P. I. They are bounded on t he East by North Mindanao Mining Co., on the South by Public and Pl'ivato La nd and on t he West by Privnte Land a nd the Mindanao Sea, Accessibility: This group of claims is accessible by launch from Surigao to t1he Barrio of Ana_ oaon, and f r om that Barrio by trail. the entire hip requiring approximately t.wo and a half houl's. At the present lime a road is being constructed from Surigao to Anaoaon and construction work to Anaoaon is expected to be finished before the end of this year, From Anaoaon to the edge of the claims it wou ld be a relatively easy matter to consb'uc a road as the countr y is rolling copra land.

PHILIPPINES Topography: Elevations within the boundaries of t his group vary from sea level to approximately 300 meters above sea level. The slopes are for the most part relatively steep. There are two fair sized streams traversing the property, which streams drain to the Mindanao Sea. Ge%gy: The predominant country rocks in th is area are intrusives; mainly diorites together with some dark colored basic igneous dykes in most cases altered to a serpentine. A small amount of andesite float was also observed in the river bottoms, although none was observed ill place. The principal and most interesting structure observed on this property was an outcropping of a structure heavily stained with iron oxide and manganese oxide, and which contained considerable in the way of residual qURrtz. But very little work has been done on these ctutCl'OPS although they have been traced for a d:~tance of approximately 150 meters. In as much as no hesh, unaltered part of this iron capping has been exposed it is rather difficult to ascertain its exact chal'aeteristics where f resh and unaltered. It may be the capping of a quartz vein very heavily m:~eralized with pyrite or other sulfides heavy in iron ·or this capping may represent the oxidized upper part of a heavily py. ritized basic dyke. Samples taken from this expD-sure returned assay values from a trace to $2.06, the old price of gold. All of the samples taken were assayed at tJhe Assay Office of the Premiere Mineral Exploration Association, Surigao, Surigao. The attached Assay Report and sample descrip_ t ions cover the samples taken. General Fncilitie8: There is a smal! amount of fairly usable timber on these claims a rtd a ny amount of very good timber can be secur ed in t he immediat<! vicinity. As stated heretofor e there a re two s izeable streams tra versing t he pro perty. T he labor supply in th~s area should De adequate for all needs as the same conditions prevai ls her e as elsewh'.!re in this province. In as much as the basement rocks in this area are intrusive, plus the fact that the assay l·eturns on the strongest structure observed (this structure varies in width from 2.5 feet to 6 feet) were reasonable for surface showings, it is recommended that this structure be opened up witi!. surface opencuts and trenches. Your Resident Manager, Mr. F. Silvosa accompanied the writer during his inspection of these showings and he is thoroughly familiar with their location. This work should have as its aim Ute securing of fresh, unaltered samples so that a decision as to poss:ble future explo-

453

ration and development can be reached as soon as possible. In conjunction with this work the claims in the Southeastern portion of this group should be pl'ospec~ed as very little has been done along that line in that area. (SeD.)

However, your at.tention is further invited to the 2nd indorsement of this Office to the Honorable, the Secretary of Agriculture and Commerce. It is recommended that the said claims be not accepbad a s assets of the South Benguet-l togon Gold Min'ing Company, Inc., until the same al'a fi nally withdrawn from the Central Cordillera Forest Reserve, and that the owner s of the claims I:.c required to present. documt-nts on which their titles on the claims arc based, the survey plan of the claims, and affidavits to the effect that the same arc fr ce from conflicts, and an~ not within an" Governme nt I'CSC I'W , and that by the purchase of路s.aid claims, the purchaser will not hold more than 450 hectal'es 1 60 full lode claims) in anyone province, 01' not more,.. than 250 claims in all the provinces of the Philippines, aIi'd also that at least 60 ,/. of t he capital of the herein corporation is own~d and shall at all times be owned by citizens of the Philippines 01' of the United States. it .should be understood that t e herein corporation by the purchase of said claim, shall not hold more than one claim on t.he same vein or lode as provided by sectiolT 33 of th a Act of Con~ress of July 1, 1902, or not. more than three claims on the same vein or placer ground as provided by Section 37 of the new 1\'l ining _\cl in case it should be decided that the ~;lid claims shall be leased under the provisions of lhe new Mining Law (Commonwealth Act No. 137).

INDUSTRIAL MANUAL auto there, we hiked over a good b 'ail down the ridge passing over the Philippilre El Dorado claims and the Aponan g "oup of claims. After more than 1.wo hours hiking along this ridge tl'ail we reached t he lI'ortheast section of our destination, the South Apons n Group, The route we followed in going to the property is much longer than is r eally necessary, After passing over the claims and noting t heir location, with rererence to well known localities as ltogon, Antamok Gold Field Mines and others I would suggest 1.hat the claims be apI'roached in the following mll nner from Baguio. Drive by ca l' to a point neal' t he Antlllllok Gold Field Mine. FI'om there follow t he trai l that the north Lmmn Power Cmnpal'y has constructed IJara llel to thai t' power line, 'Ihi s trail and power line passes over the South Apolla n' GI'OUP, 'Phis suggested route I am sUl'e would sn ve hours of hiking that is needed in going to t he JlI'OI)erty the way J was taken. 7'OlIOOI'upliy:-Th e Southern border of the claims lies parallel to the Dutac Ri ver at an oelevation of about two thousand feet a bove sea level. The dOl'thern boundary of the claims pass ovel' the high ridges o~)' a thousand feet above the Dutac River bed, The claims cover a steep sioppirtg grossy area, cut with shurp ravines that dra in southcrnlv into the Dutac RiveI'. Bunches of pine tre(>s al'(> sca ttered over th ~ area. The ravines al'e heavily wooded with Ph ilippine soft woods, bru sh and bamboo.

P"01JCr t'Y &- Location:-The Soutjh ~ponan Group consists of 30 minCl'al lode claims of nine (9 ) hecta res each and arc situated in the Barrio of Aponan, municipality of Ttogon, Sub-province of Bengnet, Mt. Province. The claims are withil;' the Benguet Mineral Dis tri ct and about 12 kilometers due east of Baguio.

Geofogy:- A thol'ough study hn'5 not been made of the geology of t he dis tl'ict.

Graci(1 F,'action Cl(~i ,'t :-In a rocl:y ravine a similar six to eight foot vein formation crops out on the side of the I'avme. A short tunnel ha~ been driven in on this formation. It consists of decomposed silicified wall rock with band!': of clay, and sugar quartz. The whole mass 'is heavily stained with iron oxide find manganese. hon pyrite is the mineral present. These vein formations continue along their strille for some distance. They all crop out high up on the hill sides, ideally located to be Jevelopcd. A number of good trails have been made over these elaims, which are quit!: necessary for inspection and development One good camp building has been eomrleted Recolll'lH-e~ldatio "s:-B~fore much can be said about the possibilities of these claims developing into mines, considcrable mo e exploration will be necessary. I would recommen that the better outcrops be explored b~' driving tunnels on them for a fcw hundt'cd feet. Careful sampling should be done, as the developing progresses in, order to avoid any e:-:penses of development and exploration should be under the supervision of a competent mining man.

INTRODUCTION

'l'he propel'ty of the St, Expedito !\fining Co , 1nc, is located in the Barrio of Banao, Southern Hogon, Benguet, about 18 kiJol':leters SSE of Bagnio as the crow flies, or about 35 kilometers by available J'oad and trail. The g l'oVP ('onsid<; of 19 and a fraction claims comprising 176-1/2 hectares in all. ACCESS I BILITY OF PROPERTY

At present the property is !:omewhat inaccessible due to its distance from the nearest road, which is at the intersection of the Padcal trail with the Macawiwili Road. However, in a few months we will have a choice of connecting on either of two nearby roads that going to Carino's place on the south side of Mt. Tapaya, 01' that going from Caml) 3 to Puiapandan, which lies over t he ridge west of Padeal Sawmill. In either case the connecting road will be about seven kilometers away from our property, which will necessitate about PIO,OOO,OO to construct.

INDUSTRIAL MANUAL TOPOGRAPHY,

VEGETATION, AND WATER POWER

Since the property is located in the Cordillera the topography is quite r ough, The ma:<imum difference in elevation along the main vein at present is in the vicinity of 800 feet, which is expressed along a slope about 2,800 feet long. Going across the ridge a gl'ade of 800/0 is not uncommon. There are now about three kilometers of fai,. to good trail on the property, With the location of several new tunnel sites, trails have been built down to them, The claims are well timbered and there is a sufficient supply of wood to perm it use for mining purposes for a number of yea r s to come. There is sufficient water and a steep enough gradient in the two larger streams on the property permit their use for hyd1'o-eJecta'ie power. Naturally, there is far in e:<cess of the amount neeessary for milling purposes. 'I'hen: are several good sites available for a mill location on the property. HOUSI NG AND LABOR CoNDITIONS

Since moving our native quarter o\'er fl'om the Tuban property conditions fOl' the luborers are fal' improved, We have eighteen houses in the barrio, as well as a store, bodega, and blacksmith shop there. Of the eighteen houses there nrc two large dormitories each capable of housing fifty men, In all we can accommodate 150 men in' the barrio at present. Thcre is a policeman who sees that sanitation is being cal'ried out, and a good supply of good spl'Jng watel'. There were 88 men on th~ pnyroll last month, but to ca l'l'y out the plans for fm'lher explorntion at least thirty more men will be needed, 'l'OOLS, EQU I PMENT, MAGAZINE, T I II1BEItS CUT

There arc sufficient tool !:! nnd equipment to work about 14 tunnels simululToeously, An drilling is by hand, and with favol'Uble conditions thrCÂŁ' or foul' feet pel' shift can be made, Until the tunnels are vel'r deep, ventilation can be had by driving ventilntion l'aises to the surfac ... , After that we will have to install blowers, OUI' blncksmith shop is well equipred with all the neccessnry tools for p reliminary mining. The magazine is large enough for about 60 cases of dynamite and has wnlls of 7" reinforced concrete on a ] 2" reinforced concrete foundation. It is under guard at all hours.


PHILIPPINES Our timb:l' men have cut several hundred pieces of 8" x 8" timber for mine posts and there are 200 on hand constantly. All timbers, braces, caps, and lagging arc under contl'RlJt work. OUI" Assay office is 18 x 28 and has three I'ooms; there is a large laboratory 18 x 18, and two rooms 10 x 9 each, for pulp room and furnace room, l'cspectively. The equipment for the assay office should be here before Sep~ember 1st. GEOLOCY

The country rock is chiefly a coarse grained light gmy biotite and pyribole rich gl'anite, which is intrusive into a coarse grained mice diorite. The diorite lies on the upper reaches of White's Ridge,

to the west of the property, and occasionally one can see an included block of it in the granite. Younger than' the gtanite are two intrusives, a granodiorit? rock and an aplite. The quartz veins are obviously the youngest of all intrusive rocks, for ther<! is nothing seen cuttil'tg the veins. FAULTS AND FRACTURES

One long fault has been traced in conjunction with the exploration of the mail\,0r "Talisay.Silay" vein. Throughout its whole length, which to date has be!,!n traced about 4,000 fee horizontally, the vein has at least one wall, and often both wal1.;, very firm and hard. Invariably a gouge, varying from a few inches up to a foot 011 more, is present along either of the walls of the vein. Horses of granite are not uncommon. The vein is a true fault fissure filling and nowhere shows signs of replacing the granite. The gouge along the wa!ls in interesting in that it appears to contain a gr·)uno up clark colored rock similar to an' andesite or diorite. If that is tbe CM'e, and if the ande~ite got:.ge came :from below, w<! can be almost positive that this fissure will rontinue too good depth. because nl)where on the property are there the remotest signs that the bottom of the granite is ncar the ~\lrface. CrOliS fauas arc present, but the trouble they will ('ause in mining seems to be very minor. One fault di!;places the Talisay-Silay vein 'lbout fiftv feet. This is the only displacement across the vein system to date, but, undoubtedly, th<'fe will be more, though of a nlinor nature. If that were 1I0t the ('ase, the surface trace of the vein would not be so pcrsistently regular.

465 VEINS

AND

MINERALIZATION

'I'here are seven veins on the property, but to date practically all work has been concentrated on the exploration of the me-in one, called the TalisaySilay vein. Just recently we have berun exploration on two more promising veins which have good size. The Talisay-Silay vein has been tl'aced over 4,000 feet horizontally, and except on its northern extension, where it is about three feet wide, it has a minimum width of seven feet (where it s plit~ into two veins) and a maximum of sixteen fce~. Its maximum vertical range is about 800 feet. The vein strikes about N30-35E and dips in a range of about 15 degl'ees of from vertical, hoth ll'Orth· wcst and southeast. In chal"Ucteristic appearance, the vein is of quartz, c8ITying sulfides of copper and iron, <Lnd gold and silver in smaller quantities. Commonly there is some si licified or bleached gnmite the '·e· suit of &ising hot siliceous so:utions a('ting on theoriginal granite. Also, unaltet'ed gra~ite horses, as well as streaks of clay gouge are present. r nth, oxidized zones the sulfides are p)'I'ite, bornite, chalcocite, and possibly tetrahedrite. There is also native copper in small amount s as well as ('hr,ysacolla and copper carbonates. In the unoxidized zones the most common mineral is chalcopyrite, though pyritei::; abundant also. The richest streaks are thos(" rich in s ulfides. In all the veins there are treaks of very high grade running through the leaner portions of the veins. Samples taken at 41 places, almost always clear across the veins give assays of a trace (in only one case, the I'est always better) up to as much as 1.5 oz. of gold and up to 36.62 ounces of silver. l1he highest assay of any sample comes from the black and gra.y gouge in the wall of one of the tunnels-PI3S.00 for gold and silver values, at the new price. One new vein has just b\!ell picked up whieh looks vel"~' prom ising. It has a width of 13 feet from wall to wall, but since it is under terrace gravels and farther on under heavy undergrowth, it is not traced readily, The vein is expected to be picked np by a cross·cut within a week. TU/\,NELS AND OPEN CUTS

Twellty-one tunnels have been worked to date, with an agg"egate of about 100 feet in alL Some of the tunnels have caved in, but only thClse which are being used for furthar exploration or develop-

ment. nre being kept open. There are ten tunnels being actively worked at present, and at least two more will be worked as soon as we ha\'c more men. The longest tunnel on the property to date is the St. Expedito Tunnels (No.6) which has been driven 183 feet. It was originally intended for a prospect tunnel but is Lcing enlarged for development work. The tunnel is 50' longer than' anticipated because we nrc on the side of the cl'oss-fauJt which displaced the vein fifty feet farther away from the portal. Several long Cl'OSS- cuts are be i n~ worked on which will give backs up to 250 feet. Three main levels nr c being develoPQd. The lowest is J3.hout 750 feet bC!low the highest tunnel three new ones. Later on it is hoped that there will be a level at least every 150 feet. There are over 25 open cuts on t he TalisaySilay and other veins. Sever al more will be necessary to trace the other vein of the group . ASS'l;YS

The following is a tabulation of all the assays of samples obtninNI l<in('e illY an'ival on the property Janual'Y 15, 1937. At that time there was little showing and all the t'\sults obtained since that time show that it is extremely promising. 1',<1 ,,, I '"I,,~ "I $.16 0, . ,,: 5S". A g. 'pM' 0: A ... p ~ r (J' .

F URT II ER WORK

WOl'k in the f utu l'e will be cal'l"ied on chiefl,y

to prove t he Talisny-Silny vein nt depth and to explore and develop all other s izeable veins on the property by tl'enching and tunnel wOl'k. Snmples in all workings on the T. S. will be taken evcry five feet, and likewise on any other veins proved along the su rfnce, and their assays will be plotted on a profile map to indicate blocks of (Ir e and lean areas. I t should be borne in mind t hat none of these samples have been tuken at appreciable depth beneath the surface, but where taken nnderground, they show considerable impr ovement over the samples taken in the open cnts. Should this improve. ment continue to be present at depth, the prospect!! of this pl'opcrty are certainly fn l' above the average. The structure is e);cell cnt and the values promising. Put·thel' work will be cal"l'i ed on to find out whether my hopes a nd predictions are true.-(Sgd ). I RV I NG '1'. SCHWADE, Geol{)gilll. St. Expedi te Mini nv Co., Tne. STA.

PHILIPPINES SUYOC SLIDE SYNDICATE The following information is a digest of the RelJOl't submitted by our Superintendent, roll'. Albert Hani, as of September 22, 1937: 'rhe pI'osped tunnel as outlined by Mr. V. E. Lednicky has been driven a total distan('e of 1517 ft. Since the last report to you Oil July 30, ]937, 182 it. have been driven. The net operating time was 45 days, giving an average of approximately 4, ft. pel' day advance in the tunnel. This wOl k 1':a" b-?en rather slow due to the heavy ground which 1'f'C]ui"cd

spiling and close placing of sets of timber.

Several

small fractures were cut containing altered andesite gypsum, with a ;;mall amount of pyrite. with ass?ys as high as 1'7.00, present price of gold. No drifting has been started on these fractures as they are !lot of commercial interest and the objective of Mr. L~d­ nicky in his layout of ~e tunnel did not include any drifting on these zones. The compressor oper ated satisfacturily dUring this period, except for pel"\odi,cal breakdowns. The total operating t ime was app roximately 85'10 of the possible time available. Some delay was necessit3ted due to the heavy I'ains a Suyoc wh ich lielaved the deliver.y of timber. Pentling t he arr angem~nt of furthe~' finance of your ol'ganization to enable Opisso & Company, I nc. to proceed with the work, the advance in the tunnel has been stopped.

PHILIPPINES The peridotite and serpentine rocks found in the district are well known associates of ('hl'omite deposits. Several outcrops of comrncl'cial orc have been reputed and their early expioratio:m is highly

recommended.

The

exploration

work should

be

placed in the hands of an experienced man. Further development of Deposit No 1 by trenching and pits should be made but mining of the ore by open pit method as it is now being dOM should be stopped for the time being. Such method of mining may cause loss of considcrablQ amount of minable orc and difficulties in eventual underground OpCl'~­ tions. It is believed that a better and morc economical method of orc extraction may be found when the nature and condition of thl' deposits arc better understood. D eposit No. 4 may also be further explored by open trenches at lower levels. Trails should be constructed in Ol"{~er to fa.cilitate all exploration nnd development work Any other road Project for this \pruperty must be pustponed pending further dcvdopment of the deposits.

To the shareholders, August 31, 1937: The last report from this department was that of March 28th of this year, which was a brief genel'a1 report concerned with main features of the situation here at the time, and with the proposed scheme of further development of the property. That report stated, in effect, that underground exploration on our "Zero" ~evel had exposed several ol'ebodies of sufficient grade and dimension to justify a mill installation, provided the average gold content as determinf'rl on the Zero Level does not

apprec iably diminish with depth; that it was therefore necessnr.3' to sink to a lower level to enable further exploration at depth; and that this, in turn, required a compressor and other facilities, the installation of which was well under way at the time. I n conclusion, it was explained that the time required for shaft sinking and tunneling on the 125foot level would make impossible any final decision as to the value of the property before the latter part ot the year. As has been remarked ir. other reports, the mineraliz.3d portions of OUI' holdings comprise a corY. siderable area favorable for prospecting, und in spite of the many thousands of feet of '..mdel'ground work pel'formed to date thel'c is still a large amount of work to be done on the Zero Level before it may be said that the prospecting of this level is compl~te. Aside from this, as p r eviously stated, our main objective is the determination of ore character at greater depth, and ~gardless of success or failure in the discovery and exploration of additional orebodies on the horizon of the Zero Level, definite appraisal of the property nlUst ~wait the outcome of the deeper level development It mip-ht be added

PHlLlPPlNES that there is nothing unU$uel in this situation.

Gold mines that have proved successful in spite of very shallow ore extent arc not numerous. In regions of rugged and mountainous topography it is often possible to prove sufficient vertical extent of orebodres by horizontal entry alone, whereas in our case it is necessary to sink to a level lower

thun the valley bottoms. The deference of any final decision till this is done is not a case of ('onservatism; anything otherwise would be highly unconserva\..ive. BANGANlLlO

WORK

As our main job at present is to geb the shaft down to the hol'!zorl' of the 125-foot level as soon as possible, and as this type of work is of no interest from the prospecting standpoint. I have seen no need fOl' a special report until such time as expiol'ation has shrted on the lower le\'el. However, some of the stockh~lders may not agree with this view, so a brief description of our present position follows:

No.1 Shaft: Raising from "0" Level to the collar, concreting of collar, installation of headframe, hoist and transfer facilities were all completed by the first of the month. when active sinking began. Sinking below the "0" Level station was {'omplete to 53 feet on the 60 0 incline by the end of this womh. Very little water has been encountered to date, ground conditionfl al'e excellent, and there have been no accidents. No. 8 Tmtnel ol'e-body: Exploration work on a vein slightly west of and parallel to, the Pearson Lode was completed during the month so far as the "0" level is concerned. This work wa!l SUCC(?SSful in exposing a vein which averages about P.22.00 (new price) over a width of about four fcet for a length of about 46 feet. While not a large b"dy, this is easily accessible from workings on the Pearson Lode, and is worthy of mention as another source of ore in addition to those described in previous r!lports. No. 11 Tunnel PI'oslJects:-Continueci drivmg of this tunnel, in the New Zealand claim, has ver.y recently encountered a systl!m of shoar zones from which fine free gold may be panned, with assays up to P25.00. At this date there has been insu~i颅 cient time for further exploration by drifting, so that it cannot yet be said whethel' or not there is a sufficient quantity of this mnterial to indicate the presence of another ore-body.

481

Other work: No . 6 Tunll~l has recently intersect2J a narrow stringer car~ing fine visible gold, but not of commercial sizc at the point of intersection. Work in this tunnel continues. Nos. 1 and 3 Tunnels are at pl'l!Sent undergoing reaming and re-timbering, preparator.y to installation of track and piping to facilitate more rapid prospecting of the favorabl e areas involved. Sur/ace prospecting in the Good Luck claim has resulted in the exposure of an outcrop from which two check samples assayed P17.50 warranting further investigation. In general, as l'egal'ds present objectives a nd features pertaining to future I!roduction, the report of March 28th of thi s ym'l1' is still in effcct.-(Sgd.) C. F. KNAERBL.

THE COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL MANUAL

The town of Toledo, Province of eehu, is immensely rich in minerals. Vast deposits of petroleum, coal, lead and manganese have been discovered. But above all, the most promising one is the discovery of quartz ores which carry high values of gold. Dr. Leopolda A. Faustino in his work entitl~d "The Mineral R'esolJl'ces of the Philippi:rte I slands" confirms that tlie Toledo district of Ccbu is one of the important gold districts of this country. One of the barrios of the town of Toledo is called Pogo This is a local word rncaning Gold. Fl'Orn time immemorial, the people of this region have been panning gol d from the Ilag river whose source starts "from the banio of Pog and from the Himulawan 01' Sapang Daku river. The main object of the Toledo Gold Mine Association is to make a\ extensive exploration and development of the above-named mining claims. It is the purpose of this Association to invite the cooperation of all pel'sons and en tities who have the ambition to improve their lot. Investing money in the exploitation of these mining claims in Toledo is not a blind venture but a safe undertaking. On the basis of the exploration work that has been done in these claims, the Association is confident of success. PROPERTIES OF THE ASSOCIATIO~-

At present, we have 22 mining claims in the barrio of Pog in blocks of 9 hectares each. We .have had careful studies made and the following tl;lble shows the results of the assal'S made by the Bureau of Science of the samples taken from some of these claims. S ITE No. I

It resembles the ores taken from the mining properties of the Benguet Consolidated Mining Company and the Balatoc Mining Company at Benguet. ACCESSIBILITY AND ADVANTAGE OF THE CLAIMS.-

The location of these mining claims in Toledo has the adva.ntage over the great majority of the mining properties because of its close proximity to the Cebu·Toledo provincial road. In same places the road passes over some of the claims. On the east side of these claims, there is a waterfall ane by utilizing its power, it will become of immense value in the development of the mining claims. Moreover, within these claims are found extensive deposits of coal which may eventuall y be utilized as cheap fuel when development work is in his Geology alld Mineral Resources 0/ the Philippines (P. 374) states that "!:lir coking coals have been found at ...... Toledo, Cebu." TOMAS VELEZ & COMPANY Head Office: 550-52 T.

Mr. Toribio Teodoro was born on a farm whel路e from e!arly childhood he assistcd with the! family occupation by attending carabaos for his father. When twelve years of age he was appre!nticed to a cigar manufacturel', but later changed his trade to slipper making, out of which experience he, together with a co-worker, established the Ang Tibay in 1910. The business was started with a capital of Pesos 210.00 the entire! savings of the youthful proprie!tors from many long years of apprenticeship. Through several years the small enterprise struggled and prospere!d only by the natural business genius and hardworking dforts of the partners. The enterprise then completely acquired by Mr. Teodoro, and had a rapid riSe! and in 1927 shoe manufacturing was added to that of slipper making. Today, Ang Tibay is one of the Jeading footwear factories in the Orient, and its proprietor regarded as one of the outstanding business men in the Far East. TRANCOVILLE, INC. Head Office: Baguio, P.

C. TU8san e Hijos, Inc., manufacturers of the Mayon Stoves and tiles, the only concern of its kind in the Island;; todcy. Induced by a strong to help Filipinize local Industries and Commerce, The C. Tuason 6 Hijos, Inc. founded the factory of the Mayon Stoves, with its central office at the same street. After the first few years of difficulties and of continuous grind, the firm was, so to speak on its feet. The old machineries were l'eplaced by modern sets for the production not only of stoves and tiles, but ~o of similar products such as cement pipes, mosaics, bricks, canals, marble blocks and stairs, and other articles of cement. In the years following the introduction of the new machinery the annual production of the factory increased. While the factory was expanding, special attention was given by the management to the perfection of the methods and the workmanship of the various articles turned out. 1lhe production of the now well-konwn Mayon Stoves needs more than passing comment. It was that desire of C. Tuason e Bijos, Inc. to minimize as much as possible the dcpendence of the country upon foreign countries for her primary needs that urged him on to invent a smokeless stove. This was accomplished after years of patient work. Perhaps thE're is no better guarantee of the excellency of the smokeless stove, which the C. Tuason e Rijos, Inc. called Mayon, than the issuance by the Washington D. C. Patent OffiCle of a Patertt for the invention, No. 1706943, and the subsequent registration of the patent with the Bureau of Commerce nndcr No. 9536. Also testimonials to the High Quality and Merit of this stove are the various gold medals and diplomas which have been awarded to the manufacturers in connection with commercial expositions such as the Manila Carnival and similar industrial exhibitions. Actually, Mayon Stoves are being used in various hospitals in the city and in the provinces by asylums, schools and colleges off~ring courses in desil'~

Thore is for instance the Brillo Floor Wax, which is a rccognized complement for TU3.son tiles and other cement works. Brillo Floor Wax has been pI'oven the match of the best imported wax now in the local market. It has the double advantage of luster and wear-or you might call it, lastin~ wear. It is the best :\vailable wax for t ile floors. Another important department of the C.

In the report of B. R. Cuesta on the property of the Union Chromite Mining Co., h re., consisting of 260 chromitc mineral claims, located in the barrio of Labney, Mayantac, Tnriac, it appears that Chromite floats and loose pieces of chromite were found in a certain area. If the report of the mining engineer is to be given credit the vicinity in which the chromite floats were found may merit further prospecting but probably the opening of the a~O-meter tunnel as he recommends, may be premature. The opening of such tunnel will cost a great deal, more than P5,OOO.OO to P10,000.00 as estimated by the reporting engineer for such work. In view of the foregoing and the information given in report of A. D. Alvi r , this Offiee can not re~ commend any valuation on the 260 claims of the Union Chromite Mining Co., Inc., but it will have no objection to further prospecting of the property as recommended by Cuesta and Alvir.

Before permitting the above claims as assets of the Union Chromite Mining Co., Inc., it is re~ commended that the owners of the claims be required to present documents on which their titles on the claims are based, the survey plan of the claims, and affidavits to the effect that the same are free from conflicts, and arc not within any govcrnment reserve, and that by the purchase of the claims, the purchaser will not hold more than 450 hectares (60 full claims) in anyone province, or not more than 250 claims in all the provinces in the Philippines, and also that at least 60 % of the capital of the herein corporation is owned and shall at all times be owned by citizens of the Philippines or of the United States. It should be understood that the herein corporation, by the purchase of said claims, shall not hold more than one claim on the same vein or lode as provided by Section 33 of the Act of Congress of July 1, 1902, or not more than three claims on the same vein or placer ground as provided by Section 37 of the new Mining Act in case it should be decided that the said claims shall be leased under the provisions of the new Mining Laws (Commonwealth Act No. 137). Report on thc Pro)l'erty of Union Chromite Mining Co., Inc., SReos Group.

The first group is the only one much prospected and its possibilities are not overly good, judging from mixed composition of the lenses expos~d. The second group is now being prospected most at present and presents bettel' outlook, judging from the continuity of the pyroxenes therein al"fd the float found. No lens has as yet been uncovered although there is without doubt, some sort. of lens present. The third group has been slightly worked 011, as a lens is exposed in two places. The first, however, is a collection of pockets and mixed with serpentine and crysotile and the second is far too nsl'l"Ow. Recomtnendation.-The first and third groups should be forgotten, temporarily, at least, and work concentrated on the Union Group pl'ilYlsrily aug~ men ted with as much as possible on group two and the Macabadang group as the possibilities increase in that direction due to the fact that a large chromite deposit lies just. to the north west. on the Masinloc propert.y. Location and Acce8sibility_ The property is located at the barrio of Labne.y, municipalit.y of Mayantoc, Province of Tarlac, P. 1. These cJaim~

are in the mountains almost due west of the city of Tarlac. It is at preseli't, reached hy road to Mayantoc, from Tarlac thence by trail southwest to the foot of the Mountains and thence west to the camp on the property line. The hiking time is about three hours and a ha lf or an estimated distances of fifteen 01' sixteen kilonH~ter s . The compa ny proposes to build a road from the property connecting to a proposed provincial road cast of it. This was reported by the company en'gineer as being approximately 25 kilometers of rondo Thus t.he property is not very accessi"'e at pre.;;cnt, nlthough the gl'R(iieu t is nearly a ll east and the county is not very much. Thus the roa.1 construction would not be different. Topography- The relief is not very great. The stream valleys are wide and the slopes' are not very steep ir! generlli. T'\,e country in general is composed of long ridges and swift litreams. Geology-The country rock is pyroxene, enstatite, peridotite, serpenti.ftc, crysotilc, a ndesite, diorite, gabro and basalts. Some resembling the amphibole wa'S a lso found. Cracks in the rocks along the river were filled with a flow consisting of large crys tals of angite in feldspar ground mass. The chromite depos its a'Ppeared to exist in more or less pnrallel lenses with north-east-southwest strikes within the pyroxene-peridotite belt extending from somewhat south-east to north-west. Facilit'ie8-Plenty of water is aV2.ilable on the property but timber is scarce except in spots.

In a report dated June 29, 1937, supplemented by another report dated July 16, 1937, both of which were made in response to a request by your Board of Directors for definite information as to existing ore reserves, and recommendations regal'ding the desirability of installing a mill, as well as to what ftlrther exploration work should be undertaken, on our property at l\1aJiit, our Supervising Engineer, Mr. F. H. Kihlstedt, s tated that the ore reserves were sufficient only to suppl y a 50-ton mill for five months, and that he did not consider it good judgment to install a mill at that time. In this report Mr. Kihlstedt recommended that further exploration work be confined to a diamond drilling test, estimated to cost from tt30,000.00 to P40,000.00, and certain other exploration work on the 185-foot Vienna shaft level, and in the Vallejo-Daet section, estimated to cost an additional P30,000.00,-and that in Hie meantime all other exploration work on the property be discontinued. Mr. Kihlstee!t further stated that he estimated that about three months' time would be requircd to carry out this program, if two drilling machines were used. The afore-mentioned meeting was called for the pm路pO!ie of submitting to thc stockholders the recommendations, as stated in his mentioned report, as well as the question of securing the additional funds neee!lsary to cnrry them out. At this meeting, at which 4,29R,356 shares (72 % of total outstanding shares) were represented in person and by proxy. Mr. Kihlstedt's mentioned report was fully discussed, after which, by a resolution unanimously approved, to provide funds for the carrying out of his recommendations.

Our Balance Sheet as of September 30, 1937, showed current assets in excess of cUrl'cnt liabilities in the amount of P1 35,330.63, and no other liabilities excepting. capital stock, thus showing that funds cOMiderably in cxces~ of the sum required to carry out the approved IU'ogrum are now available. The diamond drilling work has begun last mont h and on the 15th instant, 'the date of the last report reeeiveci, the f irst hole had been drilled to a depth of 500 feet. Ore of value is not expected until a much greater dep th is reache'a. Thi s diamond drilling work is being done by the B. B. Philippine Drilling Company, under contract. OnllY one drilling machine has been used t hus far. Regarding the additional work on the 18S-foot level as provided in MI'. Kilhstedt's apPl'oved Pl'Og l'am, the following self-explanatory excerpt ft'om General Superintendent Godfrey's report of development during September is g iven : "On the l85-foot level of Vienna Shaft we finished 146 feet of drifting, 63 .t:eet of crosscuts and .f8 feet of rai se, or a total of 257 feet of developments. The veins that were being investigated are as prominent in t he faces of these drifts as t hey ever were. A decision was made, however, to stop this work until our deep exploration with diamond d r ills is complete, so in the latter half of t he month a ll equipment was r emoved to the main camp s ite for safe keeping". In 1\11'. Godfrc~"s mcntioned repol't t he following explanation is given regarding the (first) diamond drill hole which is now being sunk: " This first hole is at right angle to the strike of the vein structurc on the hanging wall side, about 600 feet south of Vienna Shaft, and is inclined so a s to encounter the vein at about one thousand feet vert ically below the surface.

Since the 15th ins tant exploration wOI'k at Maliit has been confined almost exclusively to the diamond drilling for which reason the force thereat (excluding the dia mond drilling crew which is working under contract.) has been reduced to the General Superintendent a nd a few men, employed on a daily basis, to attend to the sampling, as!;aying, keepi ng the records, supplying water fOI' the drilling work, looking after the property, etc.-Respectfully submitted-T HE BOAR!)

The Visayan Electric Company, S. A., was organized on February 25, 1905 with a capital stock of Pesos 200,000.00. The principal organizers were: Martin M. Levering, Colin Campbell, Mr. J. J. J. Addenbl'ook, R. R. Landon, and Albert Bryan. The territory served was a very small area within the city of Cebu and the generating unit was composed of steam engine. Hamilton Corliss, of 300 H.P. capacity. The Visayan Electric Co., S. A. had then a very small number of customers; the public was unwilling to patronize it because of poor and uns1tisfactory service rendered. 1n 1919 the controlling stock of the Company passed to the bands of the Vda. e Hijos de F, Escafio, Inc., who saw with possibilities in the business. It was reorganized, improved and in a short time after the purchase, two units of 260 H.P, gas en路 gines were installed to take the place of the steam e:1gine. With these new engines began a real electric service in Cebu. The public was aware of this improvement and began to patronize the service of the new Company. In a short time, the two engines were already overloaded and in j925 a third unit, Polar Atlas Diesel, of 600 H.P. was added. Elcch'ieity was now becoming a part of the daily necessitics of the Cebu public and there was a great de路 mand for it. Four years after the addition of the

PHILIPPI NES third unit or in 1929, t he fourth unit, which is a duplicate of the 550 H.P. Polar Diesel engine. was installed. At th is stage and encouraged by its success in the City of Ccbu, the Company sought to extend its b~silless outside of the City. Active and enterprising 1"'1'. G. A. Daza, who was then the Supervising Engineer of the Complln~', was sent to the Legislat.ut'c in l\Iunila to worl;; on a new franchise and in 1931, through his painst.-ddng work and brilliant accomplishment, a new franchise was IJussed by the Legislature. With th~ approval of this new franchise, the Visayan Electric Company, S. A. was given a new lease of life of 50 years and was nuthori<:ed to operate in the municipalities of l\Iandawe, Consolucion, Liloan and Compostela, North or Cebu; and Tali say, Minglanilla, Naga and San Fernando in the South. This new extension of service brought about the installation of the fifth unit, which is a Winterthur Internal Combustion engine of 1,500 H.P. To this exten;,ion was add~d the town of Danao so that the total di9~nce served, NOlth and South of Cebu, is morc thaI\, 61 kilometers. To appreciate the pr esent standing of this huge and successful enterpri se which we can boast as the only business of its kind mana~ed and capitalized by Filipinos, it is suffici.mt to !\ay that out of its aulhol'ized capital stock of Pesos 2,000,000.00, Pe ~o~ 840,000.00 was all'ead), sub'lcribe<l and paid. 'rhe pal' value of its stock is P('sos 200.00 per ,;ha,.(' ancl there ure buyers but no sellers in the market at Pesos 240.00. The reason iR evident and that is the good dividend that th(' Companr is paying annually to its srock hoI deI's. The total capacity of the five engines which are [:Jused in two modern concrete buildings is 3,100 as compared with the 300 H.P. steam boiler at thc bcginlling. The total power house production for the year 1933 was 3,815,270 KWH. The Company now enjoys thc confidence and CootJcl'ation of its some 10,000 odd customers. It owns also subsidiary plants in Bogo, Cebu; Dumaguet.c, Oriental Negros; and Dipolog, Zamboanga. It is unbelievable the tremendous pI'ogress the Complmy ha~ made since the controlling stock was a~quired by the Hijos de F. E sC'ano, Tnc., successors to the V<la. e Hijos de F. EscaflO. This Company which at the beginning could hardly pay the salaries of it.'! few employees has now grown to an economic wealth of the Provinf''' of eebu. Shops, mills lllld factorie s arc oeing established employing hundreds o[ othorwise unemployed laborers ancl depending

mainly as their power on electricity furni~had by the Visayan Electric Company, S. A. This progress was mainly attributed to the installation of modern engines and equipment and the demand of the public for electricity which enabled the Company to re~ duce its rates of producti on and consequenl1y a reduction of rates charged to the customers. The Coml>Ully is still progressing steadily un~ del' tho well directed plnns of its President and Geneml Managel路, Dr. Mamerto Escaiio; its Assist~ ant Manager, Secrctary and H ead of the Promotion and Claim Department, Mr. Gil Garcia, whose duty is to promote and acquire ncw business for the Company and to pel'sonally attend to the com ~ plaints of the customers ; and, its Auditor, l\h. Ray. C. Pangilinan, who sees to it that every centavo of the Company's fund is spcnt wisely. With such team of executives undel' the far sighted plans of its Board of Directors, the Company is heeding for more economical operation which would redound eventually to a further reduction of rates charged to the consuming public. The Company spares no effort or money in or~ del' to achieve a dependable and safe service. The b:ast of e1ectrical equi]lment is bought and installed in the s,ubstations. Trained electrical and m ec ha~ nical engineers are employed in the power house and in the lines to supervi se the work. Expensive and delicate instrumellts fO l路 testing meters were bought and installed in a laboratory in ordel' to give full satisfaction to a complaining customer. Fil路st class eledrical materials are used in the lines to protect the lives ami properties of the inhabitants. No doubt this dependr.ble and mfe service brought confidence und blessings to the general public. A si de frOIll the lighting purposes f or which electricity is cOllllllonly used by even the humblest family because of low mtes, well to do families are taking advantage of the olJportunities that electl'i~ city is offering thcm. They install in their houses modern electric range~, refrigcrators and many lnbot' saving electl'ieal devices which no doubt bring comfort and happiness to these families. It is admitted fnct that I'est and r ecr eation are essentilll to the human body. The Management of the Compnny ha\'ing this fact in mind and in order to improve the health, living conditions and efficiency of the persollnel, constructed a club house with a

Dillow, President and General Manager, Atty. Tomas V. Vargas, 1st VicePl'esident, Dr. Fermin G. Caram, 2nd Vice-Pres~ ident, E. J. Saul, Member & Treasurer, Dr. Manuel V. Hechanova, Member-Secrctul'Y: Arsenio T. del Rosario. Annual Report as of December 23, 1936. It gives us gl'eat pleasure to inform you that th is Company has acquired for operation all the vast holdings of the Antique Consolidated Mines, Inc. T his deal involved 10 groups of 317 lode clai ms of Ch l'omite, Manganese and Asbestos located in A nti~ que Pl'ovillce, and 40 lode claims of Gold on the Island of Panaon near the north end of Surigao P rovince. Shipments of Doth Ch romite and Manganese from this property have already been made to Europe and New York with large repeat orders from both places. The Visayan l\'linerals, Inc., has taken over this valuable property on a profit-sharing basis from the Antique Consolidated Mines, Inc. The President and General Manager of the Visayan Minerals engineered the deal. After obtaining seveml very encouraging reports from r eputable min~ ing engineers on this property and with the positive proof of values furnished by the shipments abroad, he made a very equitable offer to Antique Consolidated through its President, which offer was accepted. Operations were started the day following the signing of the contract. There is now r eady for loading about five thousand to ns of fai r g rade Manganese and we expect to make a shipment within the neal' future. This transaction is rather rema rkable, in view of the fact that shipments of ore have actuall y been made from this property, and a large amoun t now available is r eady for shipment at any ti me that transportation can be arranged. Visayan Mincr als is capitalized in only twenty thousand (20,000) shares of no par value. This presages a very handsome income on this small number of shares and a future split of probably not less than ten for one. Antique Consolidated is vel'y fortunate in closing this contract, as by so doing it should be deriving from the same an income before the end of the year. The shares of this latter company have tht'par valueof ten centavos and should soon be soar 路 ing above many now popular stocks listed OIl the exchanges of Manila. This indicates Illainly that both companies hllve becn greatly benefited by the deal.

507

It is noteworthy that the deposits of Manganese mentioned above have been visited by Mr. Van Fleet of the Union Carbide Co., of the U.S.A., the greatest consumer of Chromite and Manganese, who stated that they were probably the largest known to exist. A licensed mining engineer who carefully examined one gl'OUP of 35 claims of this property, reported that it contained three and one half million measurable tons of Manganese. This report (the first made on the property) has been confirmed in part latel' on by three other engineers who examined the Ileposit!:. F r om the above, it is apparent that we will become in the neal' futllre one of the world's greatest producers of th is important strategic mineral. SUA LE O I L

Const\'uction of the first retort for extracting crude oil or petroleum Il'om the shale is now completed and the machinery is ready to be transported from Iloilo to the site where it will be erected on the reinforced concrete substructure now completed. Under favorable conditions, the work to install the mill shou ld start by March 1st, 1937. Meanwhile continued laboratory tests 011 this oil shale showed very satisfactory l路esults. Should this first mill or retort, now ready to be erected, comes up to our ex+ pectations, this Company will be producing approximately two thousand gallons of crude oil per day b)t March 15th, 1937. GOLD Work on this property, located in the northern part of Iloilo Province, has gone ahead with better results than was expected. Both coppel' and gold values on this area are r unning satisfactorily, the coppel' showing in lllany sllmples as high as 48 % and in no case lower tha n 12 % . This is cer tainly promising and to start actual mining operation leaves nothing to be accomplished, excepting the determination of tonnage. The gold values have been erratic, showing from $.82 up to $3.48. This pr operty is located within thrcc kilometers of the beach with a deep water loading point. Nothing much can be stated at present regarding the gold claims on Panaon Island, as thel'e has not been sufficient work accomplished to determine values. However, free gold in small quantities has been obtained frolll the surface. This property is in direct line with some of the best SUrigao gold mines and has a very encouraging futUre. Work there will be stal'led within a short time as is possible.


508

THE COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL MANUAL COPPEll

OUI' activity on this mineral has not been pushed very much due to lack of time and t o the fact that t he gold urea containing also t hi s coppel' sho wed ll l) so fa,'orably that it was decided to delay wor k on t hi s gzoup until sometime lutel'. Howeve r , this propc l'ty has all the earmarks of being a really valuable deposit. GANATtTE

This il'OIl deposit is more promi si ng each duy. It is vcry extensi ve on t he s ur face bUt., up to date, of unknown tonnage. Little work has been done he)"e owing to t he fact t hat this Company being recently orga nized, sufficient time has not yet been available. It is, however, planned to pu t a force of men on thi s project i,ll t he neal" futuro. The property extends to the coast and enjoys a well protected loading point with deep water. GllAl' lI lTE

Thi s mineral, like the magnatite, is still an unknown quantity. No exploration work has been accomplished here. I t, in fa ct, still remains a very encouraging prospect and will be gone into thoroughly in the near future . This property contains oil shal e and not well oil as may be elToneously inferred by the wo:ding or the lease. This shu le occurs in a ridge. which runs in a SOt路thwP 5tCrly direction, and can' be traced by its outcroppings f or a distance of about s ix kilometers, and from the outcr op fart.hest to the north to t he one farthest to the south is a distance of 900 meters, 路 thus giving ail area of some 5,400,000 sq. meters. The sea m varies in thickness from 30 centimeters to 40 centimeters. Making use of the lesser of these t.wo values, it. will be seen that the~'e exists a t lea st 1.620,000 cubic meter s. The specific gravity of this sha le is about 1.6, 50 th at. t.here is a deposit of a J)robable 2,600,000 tons. Ten outcrops huve been found in this ridge and lheir position is such thAt it is reasonable to belie \'e that the shale is continuous between t ime. These outcrops arc in streams which cut the ridge and no effort has been made to determine the actual extent of this particular seam. but it is almos t certain that t.he above estimate is 01liya vcry SJIlCI lIl)C11"t 0/ lite shalc body. Thi s could be easily detcl'lliined with II small drill a s apparently the shale follows closely t he general contour of t he hill and thel'C is not much ovcrburdcn. Emphasis should bc laid on the fact lhut thesf! outcrops :\I'e the

ones which have been found to the south of the manganese workings. The quality of the shale as determincd by the Bureau of Science at Manila shows it to contuin not less than 32 ga llons per ton. All t.hc sumples submiHed were taken from the surface where the oil of course has g reatl y evaporat路 cd. It has been stated by oil geoiogiski that these s urface samples of such high oil content will contain, at lea st, 100 gallons of oil l)el" ton at depths. Taking the average at say 60 gallons per ton we have the astounding t otal in these three blocks which form onl y one-half of the area under lease of one hundred fifty-six million gallons of high gmde crude oil wor th probably not less thun Thirty-one Mi llion Two Hunch'cd 'rhousand Pesos (1-'31,200,000) at the milL The other half of the area will possibly plove as good as the one under rellort. In t his case your Company can count on not less than Sixty l\Iillion Pesos (P60,000,000.00) in oil values and I)Ossibly n much greater amount. Since t his report went to press the f ollowing chan~es have becn plac2d: J. A. Henry, formerly of the Atok Mining Co., has been engaged and is now in charge of our mangancse mining. Mr. Jerrnl fOl'llWrly Superintendent of the Uling 1I1ines, ha s taken charge of all our chromite pl路operty. Th (!o.~e men are both rated as really good miners and we feel secure now in the matter, at least, of miners. We ordered our reprcsentative in the U.S.A. tCl engnge for us dh'ectly from the manlJanese mines of Arkansas the bes t mining engineer available. H (' must, above all, be highly qualified in the treatment and mal'keting of manganese orcs. This man will be employed exclusively on manganese. The object is to produce a high grade concentrate of unifOI'm qual ity. In the rush or busi ness, our yearly report docs not mention one very impol'lant matter, 50 we take this mean s of accounting ou r shareholders thc following detail. Included in the contract with the Antique Consolidated l\1ines, Inc., this Company WRS ~ranted the privil~ge of nominati ng purchasers for four million shares of Antique Consolidated stock at pal' (PO.IO). This right hol ds for one ~'ear from J an. 30, 1937. Last Sel)tember these shllre~ wert! sell ing for as high a s Pesos 0. 14 with active buying.

It was not lon'g before other s:wekholders joined upon ~(!eillf; a good field for industrial investment. And the investors werE' amply rewarded, for each year tnl':: received handsome dividends. Thc following figuJ'es speak for themselves: The company began with a daily output of 4511 puil's of rubber shoes. In less than a year the daily output rose to 1,800 pairs. To meet the steadily in~\'easing deman'd for Bayani Rubber Shoes, the company in its second year of existnnce incl路cased its daily output to 2,500 I>airs. Tn' 1.937 the company fUl'thelo increllsed its production to a daily ouptut of 3,.')00 pairs, which is about eight times as much D.!; the pl'odllr.tion of the company in its first year of existence. The volume of business transacted from the foull'CIation of the company on Novemhelo 15, 1934, to De,=elllher 31st of that same year nmounted to P9,f'. 44.73_tll':! g-I'OSS sale;:. in on e and n hill f month'~

PHILIPPINES MANILA ROCK ASPHALT COMPANY Head Office and Factol'Y: Accite & Nagtahan Streets P. O. Box 1009, Manila-B1'(J,1Ich Offices; Villaba: Leyte; Cebu, Ccbu-Nationalitv,: Filipino _Directors: C. Parsons, G. \V. Simmle, E. M. Grimm, E, C. Ross, A. Valdez-Business: Mining of Leyte Rock Asphalt and the Manufacture of Rock Asphalt Bricks-Esfablished: 1932-Paid-ill Capital: P200,OOO,OO-Teleg)'aph: Pavement-Bank Rejel'ctlCe: Philippine National Bank. The first asphalt purchased in thc Philippine Islal'lds for road surfacing was the familiar cake, 01' hot asphalt. Thi!'; t.ype of asphalt requires heating befol'~ it is put on the road and nccessal'il,y calls for a gl'eat deal of labor. To avoid the cumbersome business of heating, and also to securc better penetration, a new type of synthetic asphalt has b~en recently evolved which is called the emulsion, or mulsified type. In this, asphalt, 01' bitumen, is mixed with water, usually 50-50. The water, servin'g as a carrying agent only, evaI>0rati\s after being spraY2d upon the road surfaces leaving a coating of asphalt. Both of these types of asphalting require the use and placing of rock chips on top of the asphalt for a wearing body. This often makes costs laid on the road, high, especially in cases wh2re rock chip prices are high. The Philippine government spends approximately P500,OOO,OO annually on these two typ2S of asphalt, all of which money is seJ\t abroad, By purchasing a considerable quantit~ \of the local product, Philippine economists point out, much of this money would be left in the country an'd spent by Filipinos for the benefit of the Philippines,

Rock asphalt is the oldest type of asphalt known. Briefly, it consists of sandstone or limestone impregnated with bitumen by the forces of natul'e, The Philippin2 deposits were first opell'ed about 1912 and Wel'e shortly thereafter developed for road ~l1rfacing, During the years 1918 and 1921, a few streets were laid with Philippine rock asphalt, including the two principal thoroughfares, Calle Juan Luna and Calle l\iartires in Cebu; also a section on the sheet leading from the wharf at Zamboan'ga. Practically all the paving laid at that time, including the two waiting platforms at Tondo railway station, is still in a very satisfactory condition and has not been appreciably repaired, It may be remarked that for quite a number of ~'ears no development was made because the compall'y, having passzd into Japanese control, lay in dormant state, After considerable expensive litigation, local pUrties, interested in domestic development, secured control of the dcposits. Shortly thel'eafttw, in 1932, the present company was organized. A large area of provincial roads has been surfaced with Philippine Rock asphalt in the provinces of Leyta, Cebu, Pangasinan, Bulacan, Tadac, Ta_ yabas and Laguna, Bridge floorings have been made by use of hydl'aulically pressed bricks, the most notable of which is the Ayala Bridge Annex, Mal~caiiallg, both the residencz of the President arm the Executive Offices, has the entire driveway system made of this Philippine product, Thcre are many oU1er l)l'ivate driveways thus made, including those of the UniVersity of the Philippines and the university of Sto. Tomas,

EDUCATION IN THE PHILIPPINES DURING THE PAST 36 YEARS' OR PHILIPPINE PUBLIC-SCHOOL SYSTEM has been conceived, brought forth, and reared in one of the most interesting, most progressive. and most eventful educational periods in history-a period characterized by great educational experiments, researches, and surveys, out of which new and highly commendable ideals ryf the content and method of education have grown and still continue to grow. It is thus not strange that Philippine educators, untrameIled by pedagogic traditions and pedagogic conservatism obtaining in older countries, aIM privileged to found a new educational system on almost virgin soil, have been able to introduce some of the most valuable modern educational ideals, concepts, an'!.l practices into this system ten years 01' more before Iil;c tendencies excIted any marked degree of influence upon the content and method of education in other countries.

o

THE EARLY BEGINNINGS

POPULAR EDUC~ION in the P hilippines has been hailed with cnthusiasm ever since the day that the United States Army in the Il';lands, in 1898, !.ook the initiatory stell in opening schools to the mass of the people. The fact that the avowed purpose of the United States in the Philippine!' is to evelop the country into a representative democracy and the fact that the Filipino people look upon tf).e schools as the best means to this end has so greatly stimulated country-wide interest in education that truly remal'knble results have been acconw1ished. From its minute beginnings of about thirty-six yeal'S ago, the Philippine public-school system has attained a ~rowth that may best be comJlrehended when it is horne in mind that there at'e now in the Islan~s (!I1Ill"ch, 1935) 6,314 pl"imary, 1,249 intermediate, and 117 second:l.1"y and special school s, or a total of 7,680 public schools, with an annual enrolment of 1.204,4R5 chi ldren taught by 27,120 teachers. EDUCAT IO N TO ME8T PH ILIl'PI NE ECONOMfG NF.£DS

A NO SOCIAL CONDITIONS The new education ushered in with the American regime concerned itself at once with the actual problems of life, and acting in conformity with this idea, the Bureau of Education began as early as 1904 to make extensive inquiry into the economic needs of the country. In conducting the inquiry, it enlisted the cooperation and support of teachers throughout the Islands. the PUl"pos(' being to determine the lines along which industrial instruction • /JII I.llt/u. 11. Bcu>/ell

could most effectively 11I'~ceed and ut the same time be most directly beneficial to the people. Likewise, public-school men hen· have realized that success in edUCAtion must be largely dependent upon the extcnt to which t.he system can successfulLy cope with the problems of administration, supervision, and instl"l1ction peculial' to these Islands. Thr ough experience it has been learned that some of the ed,ucational methods most eHectively used in the United States cannot be used effectively here, Consequently, many of the methods t hat prove most successful in the Philippines are thosc which, though stimulated by exemplary work of the wodd's great educators, arc formulated in the light of local experience. By 1907 the Bureau had in operation certain well-defi ned polici es; find an extensive but elastic progr am of vocntional education, adapted to the diversified needs of the different communities, had been established. The cUl"l"iculn phlced narticular emphasis on inchlstrinl , !)h~'sicnl, and health education; on instruction in sa nitation; and on training in the duties of l'iti7..cnship. THE PUILIPPINE PURLIC-SCHOOL CURRICULUM

Th(: Philippine rmblic-!:'choo! curri('.ulum, as it is at present constituted, is made up of three elemental'y courscs-g-enerai, agl·icultural. tl'ade---and eight seco ndar~T courses-academic, general, normal, agricu:tural, home cconomics, trade, commercial and nautical. 'Vhile the genernl course does not so specifically offer vocational instnlction as do the other ('ourses, it does provide training in industry both

Popular sentiment with l'cfcl'cn('c to industrial education in our schools has undergone a metamorphosis within the last few years. Thcl'c was a time, not so very !cng a~o , when many of the par~nts objected to their children doing manual work at school; 110W, however, there are in evidence few if any snch objections, ll,osl; of them having apparently evolved into noticeable enthusiasm fot路 manual training in all its phases. Obviously. any chool system to be l-uccessful mnst take into accou t t.he opportunities for employment which the country's natural resources and consequent related indus~'ies provide_ Students of social life ano. economk d~楼elopment do not need to search far in the Philippines to find evidences of the many ways in which the public schools have directly influenced the economic factors of home

INDUSTRIAL MANUAL life. Filipino mothers show a commendable spirit of cooperation in introducillg into the home the new ideas brought to them by their daughters who attend school. Home gardens are now so common that it is difficult to tell just which gardens belong to school boys and which belong to the people. All nrc school gardens in type and by precept. The amount and variety of foods has incr eased many fold. The care ull'd attention given to the raising of poultry and other domestic animals is particularly noticeable. School boys and school girls feel that they have capabilities which arc worthy of con!lideration. They know that they can succeed in an undertaking because they have owned pr oper ty and have successfully managed it as a school ell'l:erprise. Their hands ha\'e hepn taught to respond to the m ind. a!ld the mind has been trained to direct. the hands toward gl'~ater effo;!ctiveness. TnE PHYSICAL-1'R.... INING PROGRAM The l'f:sults accr uing from the physical.training program being foll owed in the schools calTY with them sufficient justificatio!l for the placing- of physical education in the category. as far as importance if' co"cerned, with industrial education.


PHILIPPINES Physical education in some form or other is now req uired in ull l'ichools and a rating of C or 75 per cent in physical education is prescribed as a requirement for the promotion of all able-bodied pupils in every grade from the elementary Grade IV level to the Fourth Year, secondary, inclu!'ive. The Blll'cau of Education teachers' manual on physical education, which outlines an excellent course in this subject, has now been in use for eight school ~'ears. Duri ng this time, most of the classroom tearhers, upon whom rests the greatel' part of the responsibility of putting the course into effect, have become sufficiently familiar with it to use it with comparative ease and a highly encouraging degree

of effectiveness.

means of avoiding accidents and (2) training children to form habits and ethical standards that will give them the bodily strength to ward off disease. During epidemics, many of the schoolhouses have been improvised into hospitals, where teacher s have received patients, cared for them, and taught others to care for them. During the influenza epidemic of 1918, hundreds of teachers spent the gl'eater part of their time trying to save lives lind helping to cheek the s]ll'ead of the infection by nursing the sick, distributing medicines, and giving helpful advice to the people. li'or years our schools have been used as inter-agents for the distribution of educative pamphlets and publications on health measures and on common diseases.

The progress of health education may be tl'aced through two channe!sof endeavor. One of these is corrective and associat\s itself with such activities as ( 1) instruction in fil'st aid to the injured, (2) instruction in home nursing, and (3) active cooperation with other governmental agencies in the great work of caring for the sick during epidemics. The other is preventive and associates itself with such activities as (1) teaching childr en ways and

The extension of education into non-Chl'istian te~'ritory has nlet with much progress in spite of the adverse conditions antI hindrances connected therew ith. Among the many things that have m ilitated against the spread of edueation among non-Christians have been enmity and jealousy among headmen, inertia growing out of constant conformity with tribal customs, opposition due to religious beliefS, in,lifference due to ignCoranc~. impotence due to lack

Hmvever, this difficulty has fortunately somewhat subsided, and sufficient numbers of young men and women in Christian communities now apply for teaching positions in non-Chl"istian communities to make it much casier to supply the demand, This of com'se has a tendency to raise professional standards among the tcachen employed in Ilon-Chrisrian school s.

The institutions which come under the heading of special Insular schools are the Philippine Nomlal School for the tl'aining of teachers; the Philippine School of Arts and Trades, which maintains secondary and collegiate courses in its different depart:.ments; the Philippine School of Commerce, which provides high-school courses in commercial subjects; the Central Luzon Agricultural School, which is the highest school of this type under the Bureau of Education; the School for the Deaf and Blind in Manila, which takes care of a limited number of defecth'e children; and the Philippine Nautical School, providing for the nautical profession, which has a big place in the transportation problem of the country, CO}o1 MON LANGUAGE AS A MEDIUM OF EXPRESSION Besides making pupils literate, teaching them vocations, developing their physique, assuming much responsibility as to their health, instilling into their minds ideas of patriotism a r:d ch'ic virtue, developing in them th~ right attitude toward manual labor, teaching them how to spend their leisure time profitably, providing means for after-school education, and stl'i\'ing to create a more enlightened public cpinion, th'e Philippine public schools have devoted themselves most persistently to the coli ossa I task of e!'!taolishing English as the common language of the people to tnt' end that the different clements of. the population may come to understand each other bette r a nd thu s be drawn into dosel' union A

PRIVA'FE EDUCATION IN THE PHILIPPINES ' BEGINNINGS OF PRIVATE EDUCATION 1

RIVATE EDUCAT~N in the Philippines h:.!~ been existing as early a s the si xteenth cent ury. The first schools that were opened after the Spanish occupation of the Philippines were Catholic missionary schools. Instruction in Cnristianity and the three R's in the Spanish

P

language were emphaSized. The Christian Doctrine was the basic used in the schools . Music mainly by the rote method was given, so were Writing and arithmetic but these two

in a limited degree, because of the lack of t~'ained teachers and writing materials. Although several royal decI'ces for the dissen:ination ot public education had been promulgated by the mother country from 1565 to 1768, these decrees werl? not carried extensively and popular educaticn was llot given above the primary grades until 1591 when thru the insi!'.tence of Governor Dasmarinas the encomendores were compelled to maintain schools. THE INCREASE of Spanish and Filipino youths who desired to pUl路sue prepan:.tory courses leading to the training for the ministry and the higher profcssions created a demand for schools above the primary level. In response to this demand. the Jesuit Fathers established in 1585 in Manila the College Seminary of San Ignacio, the first secondary school in the Philippines. In this school Latin grammar, rhetoric, philosophy, theology, civil and canon laws were taught, Another college called the College Seminary of San I1defonso was opened by the Jesuits in Cebu, and the College of San Jose was opened by the same order in Manila in 1601. In 1611 the Dominican Order established in Manila the CoJegio de Ntra. Senora del Rosario. This was olso a secondary school, giving instruction in Spanish

and Latin grammars, elocution, logic, philosophy and Greek. At a lattel' date the Colegio de San Juan' de Letran was opened by the Dominicans. All these Catholic missionary schools were giving secondary instruction and were mostly supported by the orders founding them and from private donations in the form of money, goods. or lands. The increase of secondary schools led to the founding of universities.

Side by s ide with these schools that were opened for boys were schools established for girls. The Convent of Sta. Potenciana, the Colegio de Santa Isabel, the Beatcl'io de Sta. Catalina, the Beaterio de San Ignacio, the Beatel'io de San Sebastian, the Beatel'io de Sta. Rosa, the Beatcrio de Sta. Rita were the first schools established where women students could be educated. It was in the middle of the nineteenth century when the Central Government started to give morc definite SUppOl't to public education. In 1863 a royal decree was promulgated, ordering the establishment of a normal school in the city of Manila. From this date on private education has co-existed with public education.

TOWU1'd the cl9se of the Spanish regime in the Philippines. private schools inCl'l~ased in number; almost every town had lJarochial schools and lay pdvate schools. Thi) increase of private !i:chools led the government to give them some kind of super· vision. The Rector of the University of Santo To· mas was ex·officio the pril:'lcipnl of all schools. As there was no separation of state and church durill~ all of the Spanish regime, it could be assumed that this pOW2r of supervision given to the Rector of

INDUSTRIAL MANUAL the universit.:; of Sl\nto Tomas was ah;(' the govern· ment supervision. Aftel' the American occupation, however, many of the Spanish schools that closed their door!l dUring the war, reopened. Filipino {'du· catol'S had also opened private schoJols. After the establishment of the civil government in the Philip. pine!':, many Filipino am! Spanish private school s were opened. Most of these Spanish schools were run by religious orders. The schools run by FiJipi. nos were generally handicnpped by lack of adequate buildinss and equipment. Finance was their main prohlem. Keen competition existed among these private schools resulting in th(:: sUl'\·ival, not of the best private schools, but of the worst schools. 'fhe public is not yet trained to be a good judge of goon schools, and students were eas ily mi sled into enroll· ing in schools of vcry low standards. The schools run by the religious orders could sUl'\'ive the com· petition but the pl'ivnte non-sectarian schools could not maintain adequate stan dards against unfair com· petition of the cheaper school s, A kind of govern· ment control was felt necessary to regulate the situa· tion. The first step toward this end was the pas· ~age of Act 1459, commonl~' known as the Corpora. tion fiaw, in 1907.


PHILiPPINES REGIHNING OF STATE CONTROL (IF PRIVATE EDUCATION

Act 1459 gave the Secretary of Public Instruc路 tion power to grant in writing any duly incorpor ated college or university the authority to issue diplomas or confer degrees without these colleges being required to be under the direct supervision of the Department. This Act, however, was not effective enough to regulate the situation. In 1917, therefore, Act 2706, as amended, was passed. This was the basic act under which the Department of Public Instruction admini stered the system of recognition of private schools. Under it, the Secretary of Public Instruction could confer upon private schools having recognition certain privileges, the main one being the right to have their pupils accepted in public schools with recognition, in the corresponding public schools, of the credits they earned in the private schools. It entitles pupils from these recognized ~chools to the pl路ivile~ of taking the civil service examinations. It exacts, in return for this privilege, that these schools must meet the minimum standards set up by the Secretary o!, Public I nstruction, and must follow such regulations as are newssary to make the system function properly. The omy weapon at the disposal of the Department of Public Instruction in seeing that privafe schools having re-

7

cognition observe the minimum stimdards prescribed, is the withdrawal of recognition. Without the exercise of th is weapon many schools refused to make any of the improvements necessary in order to meet the minimum standards. There were in fact some which refused to make the improvements until they actually lost their recognition .

Act 2706, as amended, does not prohibit anyone from ()pening private schools without government recognition. Schools that lose their recognition are not devrived of any right to operate as unauthorized private schools, nor are they pr evented from making the: necessary improvements and regaining their government recognition. Hundreds of private schools are operating without government re('ognition: many of the.!:e schools, including a few good ones, have always operated without government r ecognition. Many elemental"), pl路iYate schools have g iven up their government recognition or operated without government recognitiorr in order to operate more cheaply as unrecog nized school s. Many private schools in the Philippines operate in au'y way they see fit. The Department has no contl路ol or supervi sion oyer these unrecognized priVate schools, Dnd cannot close them. Obviously, this method of govemment control over private schools could not make the entire private

S<!hool system amendable to good standards. Neither could it safeguard the interest of the part of uninformed public which patrotrizes them. Numerous complaints against the malpractices committed in t hese unrecognized private schools reached this Office from their victims. This situation in the system of unrecognized schools caused the patsnge on November 13, 1936 of Commonwealt.h Act 180 amending Act 2706. This new law, although will not perhaps completely curb the exploitations of t he unrecognized pri vate schools, may tend to minimize them. IMPORTANT RECENT CHANGES IN THE PRI VATE

SCHOOL LAW

Foremost among the changes made in the law is the pl'ovision of Section 3 of the Act. It reads: .. Al1J.· person or group of persons desiring to open or estnblis h a private school or college must fi rst sel'ure the perniission of the Secretary of Public Instmction before ope{ling or establi shing the same " This proviSion makes it compulsory for per sons 01' group of per~m s who want to establish a private :\chool 01' colleg'e., to secure first the pe"m hdon of the S(· cl'e t~ry of Pu blic Imtl'uction h efol'~

they can open or establish the school. Before t he passage of Act 180 a private school or ~ollege can be opened by nny person or group of p('l'sons Without being requi red t<l secure the Ilermisl'ion of the S('cret.'l.ry of Public Instl'Uction. The new provi!<ion is fut'ther str l!nAthened by the ndc!itional cJnuse: "All private schools ~nd coJJege~ already opened or established before t he approvai of this Act which do not come under the supel'vi!:ion of the Secretary of Publie Instr uction shall meet all the requirements of this Act before June, nineteen hundred and t hirty-e:ght. Fnilure to do so will subject the person or persons directing or managing the same to t he penalties provided in section twelve of this Act in addition to the closure of the school, college or institution co ncerned." While these new clauses would compel all privat e !Cchools a nd colleges to secure t he p ~l'mi ss ion of the Secretary of Public Instruction before they can be oper:ed, t he definition of a private school or coll ege under the Act pal·t1,..· negatc!s t he! compulsory provis ion of the law quoted abo\'e. A pri vate school 01' college a s defined in the private school law is "deemed to include any pr ivate institution for teaching, managed by private individual),: 01' cor porations, which is

Clearly, under this definition any private institution for teaching which does not issue diplomas or certificates or grant titles and degrees need not have the permission of the Secretary of Public Instruction it can be operated as required in Section 3. Apparently this is a loophole in the law. This weakness of the law, however, will be partly r emedied by the fact that in the Philippines no school, vocational or academic, can get the patrona!!e of the public unless it issue certificates and diploma ~ or confer elegrees anel titles. So what will

As to be expected the enrollment in private schools fluctuates with the prosperity of the country . Tables I and II below show the comparative enrolment in elementary, secondary, collegiate, and professional and technical schools every year from the H12627 school year to the 1936-37 school year. It will be noted that the enrolment had steadily increased during the years of prosperity, but dropped off considerably during the years of depression. 1t is expected, however, that t he total enrolment in private schools and colleges during the school yeal' 1937-38 is around 114,000.

crnment, in other words, contributed u little bit over half a peso for the education of every pupil and student enrolled in private schools and colleges in the 1936-37 school year. If the same number of pupils and students were to be provided for in gOVC1'1lment schools, the government would have to spend Pll,OOO,OOO. This is based from the cost of public education computed in the Monroe Surve:, Report. This amount of over eleven million pesos )'cpl'csents o~ly the current operations and doc~ not include the enormOtlS outlay for buildings and original equipment. It is estimated that in 1938 no less than 200 school~ wil! come under the system of recognized pl'ivate school s. These and the more than 400 schools that are now under government supervision will surely need more than the present outlay to give them even only the minimum supervision.

PROBLEM OF ~!m'ATE SCHOOLS IN THE PHILVPI NES

The big problem c.onfl"onting private schools in the Philippines is that of'Iinance. Unlike private institutions in the United S~ates which arc liberall~' endowed, our private schools, except some of those run by religious orders, ha e to depend mostly upnn' their income collected from the> students' fees. This is indeed a very big handicap under which private schools in the Phil ippines labor. In the United States tuition charges in private schools and colleges range from two-hundred to one-thousand pesos a year. In the Philippines the tuition charges range fronl twenty to three-hundred pesos a year. Although the cost of operation in the Phil ippines

is relatively lower than that in the United States, it is not possible to employ with this limited income good instruction, and to equip schools with good librar!y and laboratory facl li tics, without other sources of income. THE

CONTRIBUTION

AND

SPECIAL

FUNCTIONS

OF

SCHOOLS IN THE PHILIPPI NES

The state-supported schools and institutions of higher learning are generally open to the masses of both sexes, regardless of the stra ta of society wherein they belong. In the Philippines, as in othCI' countries, there are parents who do not believe in co-education and therefol'e send their childl"en to exclusive non-coeducational schools. Thus we have in the Philippines many private school s ancl colleges which al'e open to boys and gU'ls coming from well-to-elo families. Most of these schools are boarding schools and are in the majority of cases, secbrian. They oifel', besides the general courses of instruction, specialized studies in music, household and fine arts, languages and l路eli ~on. There arc some schools that give commerCial and vocational courses such as printing, fanning, bookbinding, etc. The foregoing shows how much in terms of pesos the private schools save yearly for the government. More than this saving to t.he government. there are intangible contributions which the private schools render to the public. The spiritual uplift and the training in the social graces that the pupils receive in some of the private schools and colleges are valuable services rendered by the private schools to the people.

CENTRO ESCOLAR UNIVERSITY HE CENTRO ESCOLAR UNIVERSI TY is a Private University founded in June, 1907 by a group of Filipino women headed by a pioneer educational leader, the late Miss Librada Avelino. whose life is the animating cause and whose name forever will link in the history of this institution. The establishment of this university, formerly the Centro Eseolar de Seiioritas, which was operating only the kindergarten, E lementary. high school general course, all'(l severa l home a l'ts courses, but now conducting complete collegiate artd technical courses duly recognized by the government, marks a 8ignifica nt phase in the history of the educational progress of the Filipino women and the Filipino nation.

T

I N JUNE, 19 ]0, AND .JUNE, 1917, the first classcs for a two-year high School Commercial rourse and a three-year Dom拢>stic Science course,

respectively, began to operate. The graduates from these courses proved to be of ~reat service at home and in practical life. Later both courses were


PHILIPPINES made four-year courses having the same standard and academic requirements as the regular high school general course. In June, 1921, the enrollment increased enormously, and in response to the insistent request of the parents of the high school graduates, the College of Pharmacy was opened. It was at the beginning a three-year course leading to the Title of Pharmaceutical Chemist, but later, it was made a four-veal' course with the Degree of Bachelor of Scien~e in Pharmacy (B. S. Phar.) after graduation. The next university course founded was the College of L ibel'nl Arts which began from the Pre-

paratory courses, such as, Pre-Law, Pre-Medicine, and the general preparatory course leading to the Title of Associate in Arts (A. A.). Years later, the College of Liberal arts opened complete courses leading to the Degl'ee ;}t Bachelor of Art;; (A. B.l with English, Journalisn~ or Philosophy majors; and a four-year course with the degree of Bachelor of Science (B. S.) majoring in Chemistry Ot路 Industrial Chemistry. In 1924-1925 the College of Education followed offering complete courses for Normal general and Home Economics with Elementary Teachers Certificate (E. T. C.) j a four-year course in Education proper with the Bachelor of Science in Education degree (B. S. E.) j and a four-year course leading to the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Home Economics (B. S. H. E.). In the College of Education a student may major in any of the different high school subjects require'd by the government, and in other optional subjects as, Art Appreciation, Dramatic Art, JOUl'nalislll, Commereial Training, Retail Mer chandising, Physical Education, Library Science, foreign languages (French or Spanish), social wOl'k, or in other subjects that may be of service to the students after gl'ad,uation in the field of teaching as well as in any other kind of work that may need them. To improve teacher-training, the College of Education opened a Post Graduate course leading to the Degree of Master of Al'ts in Education (M. A.) after one year of study on Educational Research, Philosophy of Education, ComparatiVe Education, Curriculum Construction, Administration and Supervision, Tests and Measurements, and upon the pl'esentation of a well-prepared thesis in the major subject of the candidates for graduation in the master's course.

11

During the school year 1925-1926 the College of Dentistl'y and the College of Law were intro_ duced. The first, issues Diplomas for the Degree of Doctor of Dental Surgel'Y (D. D. S.) which was later changed to the degree of Doctor of Dental Medicine (D. D. M.) making it a four.yeal' course; and the second, the College of Law, with the regular four-year course issuing the Diploma for the Degree of Bachelor of Law (L, L. B.), and a P ost Graduate course with the degree of Mastel' of Laws (L . L. M.). From the school-year 1927-1928, the Centro Escolal' University acquired the ownership of the Escuela de Derecho de Manila now known as the Manila Law College, and this is the College of Law of this university. 1t was in the school ;yea r 1929-1930 that the College of Commerce and Business Administration was opened. It ha s a four )'eal' course leading to the DegTee of Bachelor of Science in Commerce (B. S. C.) after completing its two-yeal' preparatory course with the Title of As<;ociate in Commercial Science (A. C. S.). Recently a one-year course in Collegiate Secretarial work was added as a commercial course. With the opening of a College of Optometry in June, 1930, the Centro Escolar University desires to serve the interests of the public by turning out Optometrists and Opticians scientifically prepared. In the Philippines, Optometry, as a profession, has not as yet be{!n placed on the same standard as other professions as Medicine, Dentistl,y and Pha\'macy, but the importance, delicacy and sensiti,'e.. ness of the organs of sight, deman'd a ca l'zful study of its nature and the means of b'eatmcnt, making the course equally impol路tant as other professions. It is a two-year course after the Hi gh School graduation and offers the Title of Graduate in Optometry. The College of Optemetry of the Centro Escolar Un'iversity is the only onz of its kind in the Philippines, and like all other COUI'ses offer ed by this university, it is fully recognized by the government. This heing so, it remains a coeducational school , giving the opportunity to both women and men to acquire a scientific kn'Owledge of the organs of sight, and further, providing them with another field for educational expansion and other means for a good living. The Centro Escolar University, with the view to educating the different classes of women with the different vocations they may like to specialize in, is also conducting a Conservatory of Music and a

Department of Vocational Education, both approved and authol"ized by the government to issue Certificates and Diplomas. The Conservatory of Mu sic offers courses leading to the Music Teacher's Certificate, Bachelor of Music, and Mastel' of Music in Piano, Voice Culture, or Stringed Instruments, upon the compliancE' with the COUI'ses of Study and requirements fOl" graduation. The lIniversit)" ha s a select choir of hundreds of voices and a well-prepared "Rondalla" or String Band of women members. The Department of Vocational Education offers COlll'SeS that ma~' be finished in short periods of time ill o\'der to provide women who do not inoond to pursue any acndemic career with the work that may be of service to them inside 01' outside the home. Among'\, the various courses offered in t hi s department n~ StenOll:Taphy, T ype-wr iting, Painting, Cutting and\J)rcss-Making, Home Decoration, Haml and Macl~.pe Embroidery, Al'tifidal Fruit nnd Flowcl'-MalOng, Special Course in

The Centro Escolal' U n iversity, worki ng for thi rty year s already, and with the sole object of developing cont inuously the growth of Edueationol progress of women in the Philippines, without forgetting the traditional Filip ino women traits, feels proud of the thousands of students that have em-oiled under its auspices and of its products t.ho!; are successful in theil' chosen professions and are enjoying happy lives in theil' homes,

The Far Eastern College has been turning out hundreds of preparatory law students and has long felt tire need for a law school of its own'. Beginning June, H134 a law school was opened urtder the name of Institute of Law. Besides the law coul'se proper, a combmed course in law and business is availahle for students. There is an intimate link between business and law under modern conditions. Most lawyers feel the need of knowledge of busines!; and economics; on the other hand, many bm'iness men have found the lack of the necessary knowledge of law a big handicap in theil' business dealings. The combined six-yea ]' coul'se in law and business will enable the studen ts to get t heir degree of bachelor of science in commerce at the end of the fourth year ami. th eir law degree at the end of thp sixth year.

13 INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION

The Institute of Education is conducted for !\tudents of education who want to get the degree of Bachelor of Sciertee in Education. It is specially designed for teachers who want to major in matheMatics, social science, economics, history, law and govermnent, Engli sh and home economics. Under the Institute of Education, there are offered sev(n'al special COUl'ses such as Cookery.European and Chinese,-Dressmaking ("Corte"), ,Ind Interior Decoration. INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY The Institute of Technology, the latest Institute to be organiz'2d in the Far Eastern' University offers a four-yea]' COUL'se Icading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. This Institute is organized in l'<lSpOn Se to the demands from students who wish to obtain a techl1ieal education in the Fa!' Easte!'ll University.

NATION AL UNIVERSITY HE '''HOLE HISTOR v' of the National UllLvel'sity is inseparabl y linked with t he life of the founder and bui!del' of the institution, t he late Comptroller Mariano F, Jhocson, Just after the establishm el~t of the Civil Government in tr.e Philippines, Comptroller Jhocson e~tablish­ ed and organized in the district of Santa Cruz, City of Manila, a small school, the Colegio Fili]}iuo. It began with harely a score of students who were enrolled in the elementary and secondary courses. Five years later, the little school underwent n minor change in name. What was formerly called the Colegio FiNpino ue::ame known as the Co/cgio Mel'c(lntil. The change of namc was made necessary because 0:£ the modificatioll of the school cUl'1"iculum, From the gell'Cr al elemental'_Y and secondary instruction which it offered during the first f ive years of its e~istellce it was changed to the t r aining- of you ng men in commerce, bookkeeping, und accounting.

-the acquisition of qualified teachers, and the establishment of su itable buildings provided with up-ta-date equipment and fs.cilities. The College did not only undergo changes in its internal organization but also in name as on August 1, 1916, the Board of TI'ustees, after due deliberation changed the title, Colegio Mercantil to National Academy. Then came more improvements and expansion. The Philippine Law School was founded, incorporated, and opened to students in June, 1915, by Comptroller Jhocson and the Laeson brothers a s an answer to the demand of the increasing number of high school JP'uduates for un evening English law school. On February 7, 1916, nine months after its opening, the college was accredited by the GO\'E'l'nment and in Hl21 became the College 0/ Law of the University, Jts early work was conducted with the advice and ssistance of five members of the Manila Bal', As 't was organized to meet t he growing demand for a st.rictly technical school furnishing the highest gr~de of insb'uct.ion in legal matters, it had outgrown its quarters after the first year in such a way that it had to be trans路 fen-cd to its present location, especially al'l'angeci and equipped to meet the l'eq 'rements of a modern law school. Hardly a year elapsed when a g reater need for further expansion was felt, the establishment of a course in liberal nrts and in education, and the Board of Tl'usteeg, always conscious of its duty to mcct a public demand, decided to estab]j;:h the collegiate department of the Natio1lal Acadf'JltV on Apl'il 15, 1917, This department was accredited hy the Department of Public Instruction on FebI'lIal'y 15, 191 8, and became the College 0/ Lib~1"al A ,'ts of the University, 'I'he most important aims of this college are to prelllll'<! students fol' professional cou r ses and to provide a place of instl,uction for general culture and higher libeml ads education essential to efficie nt citizenship and leadership in the community, The degrce of Bachelor of Arts (A,B,) was confel'l'ed to students on the completion of two years of specified work, but in order to place this co!lege upon the rank of United States universities, two courses are offered, one leading to the title of Associate in Arts (A_A,) based on the completion of two year's work, and the other leading to the .degl-cc of Bachelor of Arts (B, A,) based on the completion of four year's work.

After the foundation had thus been laid, and the policy of including within it a group of more technical and professional colleges had been determined, the Trustees, on January 17, 1921, reincorporated the Natiollal Academy and had its name changed to NCitiolial U1!iversity, The new institution' began wOl'k as such in June of the sam~ ye:'l.I', With ~he fil,:;t set of graduates from the col1e~iate departments of the National Academy came re'luests from more students for the colleg~ to offer a hi g he l' course of instl'uction and the 'Tnlste(::;, consistcnt with their policy of expansion, organized the College of Education in July, 1921. It offers thorough courses in education us well as in other subjects related to education, It has for its aims the training of more efficient teachers and to SCl've the needs of the Philippine schools for more professionally b'ained supervisory and adm:nistmtive officers, 1'his college was accredited by the Government in the same yeal- that its si"ter Simultaneously with the opening of the College of Edllcation, the College of Commel-ce and Business Administration was founded and accredited by the Government on January 3, 1923_ college was accredited_ This college has for its pUl"ppse to help in the realization of the full development of t he economic life of the country by helping equip An adequate body of Filipinos with the fundamentals of business and with a clear understanding of the laws and f orccs governing commercial activities and the propel' administration of mel'cantile organizations, Aside fl'om the college and departments of the University above ment.ioned, the College of Pharmacy was established on July 8, 1922, and was accredited by the Government on March 19, 192>1, Subsequently the College of Dentistry and the Conservatory of Music were organized, T he formelwas recognized by the Sccretal-y of Public Instruction on Novcmber 20, 192>1, A bl'anch of the High School and Libel'al Arts WflS established in Intramuros, The College of Engineering was opened in June, 1925, To t hese may also be added the open路 ing of a Commercial High School, a Four-Year Normal Course, and courses in sUl'veying, bookkeeping and stenogl'aphy_ ThC!Se new courses have recently been authorized by the Department of Public Instruction, Perhaps one of the most important depal'tments of the University that may be specially mentioned


PHILIPPINES in this sketch wa!> the Department of Military Sci(>llce and Tactics. The University authorities, realizing from their exper ience the value and importance of military training, applied to the United States government for the establishment of a mi l itar~' department in which systematic instl'uct.ion for R. O. T. C. may be given. The request was granted on October 1, 1923, and immediately two regular army officers were detailed to organize and establish the department. Equipment, such as the Uniterl States Springfield rifles, bnyonets, belts, etr., were accordingly supplied, ' and the Department her-an to give instruction along the same lines that lead to commission in the United States Reserve C01'pS. This privilege has placed thc U niven;ity on the same standal'd as those on modern State Univer sities and won for this institution a distinctioll' unique mno.ng the private universities in the Islands. However, upon request of the Pl'esident with the concurrence of the Cabinet of the National University, the government aid to this department was withd r awn on Janmn.y 1, 1927, leading to the closing of the Department o( Military Science and Tactics and the subsequent organization of the D'!partment of Physical Education. A new addition to the Un~versity schools and colleges is the Junior Normal College which has practically the same cUlTiculum as that of the Philippine Normal Schoo!. It was openea under permit of the Department of Public Instruction on June 9, 1930, and was recognized by the government on Februal'Y 3, ]932. It offers a collegiate course leading to the Elementary Teacher's Cer t ificnte (E.T.C.). Its objectives are: (1) to train prospective teachers in the 1,l l'ofessional work of teaching; (2) to give teachers in the service such knowledge of principles and methods as will improve their efficiency in the work of education; (3) to give the students the necessal'y information , and training for intelligent participation in ma tters of private and public education; and (4) to provide the students with instr uction and training in elementary education which will make them more fully prepared for teaching administrative and supervisory work after they finish their cour se in the Scnior Normal College (College of Education), The schools and colleges of the University ar e housed in separate buildings, the group of f ive houses in Lipa and San Anton Streets, District of Sampaloc, composing the central 01' main build-

THE UNIVERSITY OF MANILA A:-.iILA is not only the capital o( the Philippine Islands but is also the educational center of the country. Besides a state university there arc a number of reputable private institutions of higher learning of which the Univel'sil;y of Manila is one. The University of Manila started as a small institution offering only elementary and high school courses. Classes opened in the new school in 1914, in its building on the corner of Peiiarubia and Madrid, Binondo, The institute was founded on the initiative of 111", Apolinal'io C. de los Santos, who later became the first president of the University of Manilc.

M

DES ID ES DI". Apolinario G. de los Santos, were four other paople responsible for the founding of the rnstitute' Mal'iano V. de los Santos, Manuel

Montilla, Buena\'entura J, Bello, and Maria Santos, In the opening of the school year 1919-1920, the lnstinlto de )faniln then grown too large for iL"


PHILIPPINES quarters, moved to Samllaloc, occupying the former house of Judge Simplicio de Rosario, corner of San Anton and Gastambide. The next school year marked a momentous event in the growth of the little " Instituto de Manila." In that yeal', a college of liberal arts was opened, From the very beginning this college proved its worthy by the steady increase in its en-

rollment. The year 1921 saw the acquisition of a college of Jaw, the old National Law College. Its firs! dean was the Honorable Norberto Romualdez. But even more important than this was the reincorporation of the " Instituto de Manila" into the UNIV-

ERSITY OF MANILA. This was duly accomplished on November 3, 1921. In the years that followed close upon the reincorporation of the old "Instituto de Manila" into the UNIVERSI'l.'Y 01' MANILA came the organization of a College o? Philosophy and Letters and a College of Business Administration. Dr. Paul Versoza became dN\n of the former and Leon Ma. Gon ~a les, of the latter. In Jul y, 1923, the Coll~e of Education came into being. Dr. F l'ank Lat\baek became its first dean. \

In 1933, twenty years after its establishment, the University of Manila had become a full-grown entity, one of the foremost institutions of private learning in the Philippines, Besides the original elementary a nd high school departments, the university already had the follOwing six regularly functioning departments; a Preparatory Department; a Junior Normal College; a College of Business Administration, a College of Education, a College of Liberal Arts, a College of Law, and a Department of Graduate Studies. While keeping the main unit in Sampaloc di strict, the administration did not neglect the branch in the WaHed City. Today, the following departments are found in I ntramul'OS (Wnlied City) besides the elemental'y and high school; the College of Law, the CoH~ge of Business Administration, a branch of the College of Liberal Arts, and only recently an extension of the CoHege of Education. In recent years, while consolidating gains that have been made, the administration has also moved with the trend of the times. Two years ago, a premedical course was opened in the College of Liberal Arts, Sampaloe unit. I n the Intramuros unit, a Foreign Service course was induded in the College of Business Administration.

A bird's eye view of the present quarters of the University of Mani la follows: Beginning in Sampaloc, acr oss the Alejandl'o VI for the wide campus, on c may see in red blnze the hazy outlines of the three-story building of the Tl'aining Department. Barely fift~f meters to the left, occnpying the whole end of the block fo rmed by Alejandro VI, San An ton and Gastambide, rises t he magnificent new administnltion building, fou l' stories high, modern, streamlined. Beside the administration building is the old high school, now housing the College of Education. The old administration building still stands in its ol d site, corner of Gastambide and San A. nOOn; its spacious rooms have been tUl'nad into laboratory classes a nd facult.y rooms and offices. Now a short fli ght to Intramuros, to Cabildo by the Cathedra\. H ere is the heart of the 1ntramuros unit of the University of Manila. Here is the famous National 'baw College, the university's college of law. Farther down where Cabildo is crossed by Aduana obliql\ely in :ront of historic Ayuntamiento is the former Bureau of Commerce

building, now leased by the University of Manila as a recreation hall. F ollowing Aduana to General Luna St.reet, t urning right till we get behind the Department of Justice, we come to former Pons Hotel. This houses th~ colleges of Business Administration and Liberal Arts of the University of Manila. Here in the cool, high-ceilinged rooms, studen ts come to classes away from the noise of t he ciiy. Sinee October 4, 1929, the University of Manila has had f or its president. Mariano V. de loS' Santos, brothel' of the fir st president and one of its founders. The biggest stride so far in the development and growth of the Unive]'sity of Manila were made during the incumbency of President Santos. Although young in age he is regarded as one of the isla nds foremost educational leaders and is almost always consllited in educational matters e\'en by the government authorities. He is a member of the National Educational Coun cil by appointment of Hi s Excellency, t h e President of the Philippines.

The Legislatul'e appro priates annually a sum a s contribution for the maintenance of the University. For the last ten years, the Legislature's annual COll'tribution has l'ang'<!d from P997,163.65 to 1)1,915,500.00. The enroll ment had steadily grown from 67 in 1908 to 7,412 in 1930. As a result of the economic depression, the enrollment went down to 5,225 in 1934. But since thelT, it hns been on the increase, and last year it was 6,650. Overcrowding is prevented by limiting the number of students in each clnss. In this way e.very student is ennbled to receive the ma"imum of personal attention from his professors.

In a bequest consisting of his libraI')' and goods valued at 1,500 pesos, he gave the nucleus of a fund towards an entel'pl'i:;e, the primary aim of which was the formatio n of a body of men specially fitted to promote the Chl'istianizat ion and education of the native inha bitunts of the Archipelago. "he exccu tol' of the las!.. will and testament of Archbi shop Benavides was Father Bernardo de Sunt..'l. Catalina, ().P., his intimate friend and associa tt'. He was speedily commissioned by his superiors to carry out the wish es of the deceased prelute. h l the same year of the Archbishop's death. the first building was secured. It occupied a pOl'tion of the old s ite of Santo Tomas in I ntl'amuTos. The formal foun<lation was completed in the yeal' 1 flU. undel' the name of the College of Our Lady of the Rosnl'Yi but five years latcr, that name was ehnnged to "College of Santo Tomas."

Domingo Gonzalez, O.P., Bishop of Nueva Caceres. These with seveml other donations by secular benefactors, opened the way to a new era of the College's development. Roval confirmation of the uuthol'it.y gL'unted to the Coliege by the Governor of t he I slands and the Ji)iocesnn Orclinar~' was obtained from Philip IV on November 27, 1623. His letter commends the work of the I nstilll!..ion as resulting "in great advantage t.o Lhe youth, to the preaching of the Gospel and to the ec!l1cation of the sons of the inhabitants."

and after the customar짜 academic acts, theses, and formalities, as bachelors, licentiates, masters and doctors, according to their respective courses and merits. Another brief, confirming the preceding grant and giYing it validity for another ten years, was issued by Pope Urban VIII in 1672. It was given effect, as befOI'C, by recommendation of the Royal

CO\mciJ of the Indies, Feb. 17, 1629, On this basis, the Manila educational establishment continued its work fOl' nearly two decades, In 1644, Philip IV, through his ambassador at Rmue, petitioned the J{oly See to erect the College of Santo Tomas into a University endowed with the same authority and perpetuity enjoyed by the Dominican Univer ~ ities of \,\vila and Pampiona in Spain, anel of Lima and M'exico in the New World. The following year His Holiness, Pope Innocent X, granted the r oyal petition in a brief, signed in Rome, Nov. 20th, 1645.

In 1680 the Dominican petitioned King (Charles II) to favor the institution with his royal patronage and protection. This was to add d ignity to t he Univel'sity as well as to increase its efficiency and moral influence. The petition was granted in a ro~'al decree, May 17 of the same year, and the r oyal document made special mention of the degrees in Theology and Arts, as being conferrcd only after rigorous examinations and with commendable results. On the advcnt of P hilip V of the House of Bourbon to the Spanish throne, a n'aw impetus was given to educational work th,'ollghont Spain and her possessions. At Santo Tomas n notable addition to thc Faculties was made in the latter part of his reign, where two new colleges, those of Canon Law ~,ml of Civil Jll1'i sp rudence, were established, 'rhe I'apal confi l'mntion of their establi shment was obtaincd hom Pope Clement XII, on September 4, 1714. The two coul'sc~ covered the entirE' curriculum of Jul'ispl'u(lenr.e a'!cording to the prevailing sta ndard at the time.

Though the Dominic!'.ns had planned a Faculty of Medjcine as r:!'nriy as 1682, the opening of the Depa rh,n ents of Merlicine and Pharmacy took place

In the year 1904, a School of Dentistry was established under the Faculty of Medicine. In the year 1907, the Faculty of Civi l Engineering was inallgul'uted. In the school-year 1923-1924, the College of Liberal Arts was inaugurated with the establishment of the Preparatory Law Course. I n the following academic year , 1924-1925, the Pre-Medical Course was opcned for High School graduates desiring to pursue their stud ies in the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery. Doth of these preparatory courses lead to the title of Associate in Arts. Two more COllrses, leading to the degr ees of ~achclol' of Arts and Bachelor of Science, were estahlished in Jlme 1926. I n Jlllle, 1!')26, 'the College of Education was founded for the tl'tlinlng of teachers upon Catholic principles. A department of Al~itecture, now the School of Architecture and Fine Arts, was established by the University in June Hl3a under the Faculty of Engineel路ing. A four-ycar cnurse leadmg to the degree of

Bachelol' of Science in Chemistry was opened in June 1931. Tn June 1933 the Universit.y opened its School of Commerce under the College of Education.

In the summel' session of 1933 a gradUate course leading to Mastel' of Science in Mathematics was opened under the College of Liberal Arts. I n the same College a foul' year course, probabl y the fi rst of its kind in these Islands. leading to Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering was offered at the start of the 1934-35 academic year. The same yeu l' the University also began to offer the four-year Bachelor of Science in Mining Engineering COlU'se in its Faculty of Civil Engineering.

It has striven during all its career, under the direct authority end 53-netion of the Holy See, to be truo! to its calling and, under Providence, it has been singularly blessed and has prospered in realizing its aims. Pope Leo XIII, of happy memory, in his Constitution Quae mari Si1!ico of September 17, 1902, after making great eulogies to the Dominican University of Manila, adds: "Wherefore, fully confirming thr honors and privilpges granted thereto by the

Roman Pontiffs Inocentil1s X, JnoC'cntius XI, and Clementins X U , we endow it with the title of P ontifical University, amI it is our will that the academic degrees therein conferred have the same value as those obtained in other Pontifical Universities." H is H oliness, Pope Pius X, not only confirmed the privileges IP'anted by his predecessors, l' ut increased them, as on A.pril 4, 1906, he granted to the Faculty fo r Clergymen. the chat'aeter of a real Seminal'y, and gave the University the exclusive power to confer academic degrees. The U niversity of Santo Tomas has always enjoyed an official standing not only in the Church,

but also in the Spanish Government, for the latter recognized the degrees and diplomas conferred by it, both in Civil and Ecclesiastical Faculties, and those obtained in any other State University. The Philippine Govel'nment, and now Commonwealth of the Philippines, by whom the University of Santo Tomas is regarded as a recognized corporation, does not grant without. previous examination, official validity to degrees issued by it. Under the principle of neutrality by which the American State is governed, it cannot do otherwise. The Univer sity of Santo Tomas i~ indebted to the Government of the Philippinc Island s and now to the CommonWealth of the Philippines for mnny proofs of kind consideration and support, a s the exten sion of its official recognition to the> Facultics of Civil Law, PhiioSOI)hy :md Ll'ttcrs, Ml'di('ine and Sur~~ l' Y l'harmacy, Engineer. ing, the College of Libcral A rts, the College of Education , the School of Agl'ieultul'e and Fine Arts, the School of Comml'rce and the High School Depart. mcmt. During the season of ] 9:17-38 the University acr,omffiodated 4,750 stu dents.

THE PHILIPPINE WOMEN'S UNIVERSITY Tis with legitimate pl"ide that w~ can a.1I point to the success of The Philil)pillc Wt>mpn's Uni\'prsity as the result of F ilipino effort and cooperation. It indicates what may be attained by Fililipino educators imbued with the ideal of public service when t hey ga in the confidence and cooperation of their people, especially the parents of students.

It is this cOll'fidence and cooperation which serve to stimulate this institution to exer ts greater efforts in the direction of progress. The public trust reposed on u s creates an obligation to be ever deserving of that trust. Thu s it is, tllat whi le t his University fOl' women counts with no income-yielding endo wmen't, its progress has been steady because it has always bcen guided by the cardinal policy of deserving th e continued confid,encc and cooperation of its constituents.

New students a.'e not segregated in freshmen dormitories; on the contrary, in any room that a girl may choose, shc will f ind a fl'iendly group of girls from other classes ready to help her, The newcomer is soon made to feel at home, so that she l'eadily develops an appr eciation of college tradition and imbibes the shin ing spirit of school loyalty. Within a short time, she comes to think of herself, not. as a freshman, but rather as a younger member of P.W.U. family,
