NEXT KLONDIKMN PHILIPPINES. A NEW ELDORADO. Island of Mindanao Rich In Gold Na tives Bring In the Yellow DOst Every Day. The greatest gold rush In hlRtory Is predicted In the Philippine Islands, the new Kldorado. Army officers who haw recently returned from Mlmlnnno de clare thnt the mineral lichen of tlmt Island will soon lie one of the wonders of the world. They say (he valleys of the river Sita and Its tributaries, with a total lengtn of 200 or 300 mile, are full of gold. The natives go out with their rude washing ImplementR and clean up from r.O cents to 3 worth or gold In a day. Returning army ofll rers bring bark specimens of the gold, and report that, according to the na tives, the precious mineral is found all through the valleys, which range from five to twenty miles In width. No Anierh an miner have as yet gone Into the region, as the Tnft government Is debarred from issuing permits or fran chises. As soon ns Congress takes off the ban of the I loir amendment to the fr'lHioner resolution and gives the gov ernment authority to establish mining laws ami arrange for titles for claims, it Is predicted by army olllcevs that there will be a tremendous Influx of mine;- from the 1'nlted States, South America, Alaska, and from all over the world. The Sita debouches Into the sea In the Important province of Cngajan. and there Is a good port nt the mouth of the river called Tagnlban. All thnt part of Mindanao Is a rich conn try, luxuriant with fruits, vegetables, mnixe and poultry. Chickens and plgh run wild in the woods, and bncgn and eggs are almost as cheap as dirt. Al though Mindanao lies well down to the equator, the climate is healthful. The days are hot, but the nights are always cool. Army officers w ho have been all through the Philippines say the Ameri can people have no conception of the richness of the archipelago, and of the great future which lies before It.

Indications Point to a Record-Breaking Year in Volume of Legit imate Trade. R. O. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Unfavorable signs are rare in the business outlook. Manu facturing industries enjoy exceptional activity, and most Jobbers and retailers find no occasion for complaint. Al though a fifth of the year is yet to be heard from. Including tne usual inter ruption of elections and possible dis turbance of legislation, there is ample evidence thnt the volume of legitimate business will largely exceed all previ ous records.

Footwear factories still have many weeks' full employment on heavy weight goods for winter. Supplement ary orders for seasonable lines still ar rive for Eastern jobbers. Prices are not quotably higher, though the rapid rise of leather and hides has token so much of the profit that shoes must soon deteriorate In quality if better quotations are not forthcoming. Leath er has begun to exhibft symptoms of speculation, but buying by the leading manufacturers for actual consumption also reaches a large total. Scrap Iron a Chines Import Consul Henry B.
