THE CUBA REVIEW SUGAR PLANTATION NOTES A NEW SUGAR MILL The governor of Pinar del Rio Province, Sr. Indalecio Sobrado, has placed before the government an enterprise by a company, at present unknown, for the establishment of a new sugar mill at Consolacion del Xorte, Pinar del Rio Province. The capital re- quired for the new mill will be supplied principally by the owners of the farms Ar- royo Rico, Rio Seco Tortuga. Rio Banco, etc.. representing a very large acreage. Thousands of dollars' damage was caused to the boiler house of the sugar mill Sal- vador at Calicito, near Manzanillo, Oriente Province, when part of the flooring gave way on March 29th, destroying much of the valuable machinery. The mill's present crop output is estimated at 40,000 bags. The stockholders of the Santa Teresa sugar mill at Sitiecito, Santa Clara Prov- ince, are considering the expenditure of con- siderable funds in improving the estate. The mill produced last year 140,000 bags of sugar. A new sugar mill is assured for the neighborhood of Gibara, according to La Lucha. Sehores Longoria, Eeola and other leading merchants of the city are interested in the new enterprise. A large sugar ware- house with a capacity of 25,000 or 30,000 sacks of sugar is in course of construc- tion. The "Violeta," a large sugar plantation of Santa Clara Province, the property of the heirs of the late Tirso Mesa, was laid to waste on March 12th when 200,000 arrobas of cane were burned. Juan Pedro y Baro, owner of the Con- chita_ sugar mill at Alacranes, Matanzas Province, it is understood, is about to pur- chase the lands of three inactive mills in his neighborhood and extend the manufac- turing faciHties of his own property. The sugar central Constancia in Santa Clara Province, and owned by the Colonial Sugar Company, is now in direct telegraph communication with all the government tele- graph lines. The service was inaugurated earlv this month.
