Philippine Mlaing. Past experiencs had made the investing publio extremely cap- tious regarding investments in mining enterprises in the Philip- pine Islands though an official report on "The Mineral Re Eources of the Philippine Islands for 1912," which we have just received from the Bureau of Science, gives a more encouraging view of the possibilities in the Islands than the public generally entertain. A table giving the value of the total mineral produc- tion of the Philippine Islands for the years 1907 to 1912 shows that the value of the annual out- put has grown from 234,092 pesos In 1907 to 3,513,745 pesos in 1912, Another table gives an abstract of the Formosan mining statistics for 1910, and Mr. Warren D. Smith, Chief of the Division of

"Admiralty Contracts.
A careful study of the 280. pages of the evidence, oral and documentary, establishes the fact that some of the members of the Committee entered upon their work with a degree of suspicion of contractors which may be 07- oused by their lack of knowledge of industrial economics and of manufacturing methode, and particularly of the costly nature of the plant and the highly technical character of the work involved in the provision of some war sup- plios. It is therefore the more gratifying to find that their verdict is that "the evidence has been on the whole satisfactory, and that care is taken to obtain " good results for the expenditure incurred.". In connection with some details, useful suggestions have bзn made, which while hey cannot affect the already high deg of efficiency or conomy retained, will give to the Houge and to the country fuller Information on some items of or penditure, The field covered by the investigations of the Com- mittee is so extensive that it is only possible, in this article to rofer to one or two of the more important plason of the inquiry, leaving others to be dealt with

However, a gradual change seems to have come over the scene. a moro liberal outlook is taken of the country's possibilities and hopes are seriously entertained that concessions will be made ton foreign investors who have faith in the future of the pountry
