PACASMAYO , April G. 1898. 1 find the
Americans very much In evidence In Peru. I
entno from New York to Panama with a
party of miners who were on their wny here
to the Curnlmyo gold regions , In the south
ern part of the country. I met further
touth a Mr. Forbes , who told me that he
had Just Bccurcil a concession for John
Bcarlcs of New York for the right to build
electric street railways In nnd about Lima ,
and here , at Pacaamayo , a corps of Ameri
can civil engineers are laying out the route
for the Pacific company to valuable coal
mines In the Interior. This company has
leased the pier hero of the Peruvian gov
ernment for the term of ten years , and It
'Is ' the Idea to make this the terminus of the
'railroad. '
The American party at Pacasmayo con
sists of Mr. O , Clinton Gardner , formerly
superintendent of the Pennsylvania rail
road and the builder of the Mexican Na
tional , who Is ths general manager of the
company ; Major William M. Phillips of
Philadelphia , another well-known Pennsyl
vania railroad man , who Is acting as chief
engineer ; Mr. F. S. Hook of New York and
Mr. 1) ) . H. Kauffmann and son , who have
for many years been In bualncti' In South
America , nnd who now do the chief ship
ping nnd Import business of this part of
Peru. In addition to these men there Is an
English engineer , Mr. F. Herbert Wood ,
and alEO several Peruvians. The surveying
party has been In the mountains for the
past three months. It returned the night
before I landed , and I nm able to glvo the
latest nnd fullest news from'my talks with
the engineers.
Dut first let mo tell you something about
the concession which this company has and
Its probable effect on South American affairs.
Jf the scheme ho carried out as Is now con
templated , It will result in putting America
to the front In Peru , and It will , I believe ,
make Bomo Americans rich. The Pacific
company has an authorized capital of $20-
000,000 , and a number of the leading busi
ness men of Now York , Philadelphia nnd
Lima arc Interested In It. It has concessions
for valuable coal mines , which lie up In the
Andes at a distance of fiom seventy-five to
125 miles back from the coast , and has the
exclusive right to build and operate railroads
running to these mines. Its concession was
granted In 1892 to Cuthbert B. Jones , and
lasts for twenty years. The country covered
by It , and In which It can have no competi
tors , runs for about 100 miles along the
coast , and Is abo'ut as big as the state of
Mar } land. The company Is , I am told , pros
ecuting Us work with Its own means , nnd
It Is said that there Is plenty of money ba
ll 1 nil It.
Conl SI I lien of the Anile * .
These American coal mines of the Andes ,
with a goo'd railroad , would bo moro valua
ble than gold mines. There Is practically
no good coal on the west Paclfla'coast of'
South America. Of the 3,000,000 tons used
every year the bulk comes from 'Australia ,
England ; , Japan and-British Columbia. Chill
has somo'jnlncs , but none that are very
Rood. The coal sold on the coast brings all
the way from $7 to $20 a ton , and the de
mand will extend as far north as San Fran
cisco , which now buys much of its fuel from
Australia. Indeed , it is said that the largest
fleet on the Pacific ocean is the coal fleet.
Mr. Gardner tells me that when this road
Is completed he will bo able to mtno and
land coal at the coast at a cost of $2 a ton ,
and that ho sees no reason why ho should
not supply 2,000,000 tons a year. Ho hopes
to extend the road later on to the Maranon
river , a navigable branch of the Amazon ,
which compares to It as the Missouri does to
the Mississippi. This , ho Bays , will require
less than 300 miles of additional road build"
ing , and will bring the steamers of the
Amazon to within about 400 miles of the
Pacific coast. Dy this extension the great
Amazon country , with Its thousands of miles
of navigable waters , will bo reached , and the
Andean coal will bo furnished to the east
ern coast of South America. '
Anthracite IlcdM of Pern.
The coal fields of the Andes Include both
anthracite and llgnlto coal. The company
now owns about forty anthracite properties.
The anthracite Is practically unlimited , and
It has been tested nnd found to be as good
as that of the famous Lchlgh valley. There
'Is some soft coal on the west slope of the
mountains , but the anthracite lies on the
east slope , about 1,500 or 2,000 feet below
the divide , and it will have to be lifted that
height on the railroad before It can lake its
long shoot down the Andes to the Pacific.
The Andes arc , you know , nowhere very
low , and the railroad to the top will bo ex
pensive , but the civil engineers. tell mo
entirely practical. The road will have to
climb up the Andes to an altitude of 14,000
feet , and it will at that point not bo more
than seventy-five miles in a straight line
from the coast. It will probably cost more
than any similar mileage la the United

Men defeat the
intention of a
beneficent
Providence by
the manner in
which they
live , their disregard of the laws of health
and their utter failure to protect health
when it is threatened and restore it when
It is lost. The most common result of neg
lect of health is that dread disease , con
sumption. Not many years ago it was con
sidered incurable. Now it is known that
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will
cure 98 per cent , of all cases if taken in
time. That is its record during a period of
thirty years. Many of the thankful patients
have permitted their names , experiences
and photographs to be reproduced in Dr.

these cases may secure a copy of this book

States , but Mr. Gardner says It will pay nl-
tnoot from the start. Leaving the 1'aclflc
It will go up a river valley which Is sunken
In among the sands , of the Peruvian desert.
This valley has a number of sugar estates
nnd other plantations , and tfiero are other
valleys which could be tapped later on. The
road winds nLout like a snake on Its way
up the mountains. Crossing the Andes the
railroad will reach n number of good-sized
towns and some rich agricultural country.
C.'llr of Cnjnninlrn.
A branch will extend to Cajamnlcn , the
city whcro Plzorro held the Inca king , Atn-
hiinlpn , In prlron , nnd where he later on
had him put to death. You remember the
story. Athhualpn was the ruler of the
whole western coast of South America. Ho
had , It Is estimated , about 40,000,000 people
subject to him , nnd this region had then n
higher state of civilization than It has today.
When the Spanish freebooter Plzarro en
tered the country with a handful of soldiers
nnd a few horses ho was mcl at Cojamalca
by Atahualpa nnd kindly treated. Plzarro
asked him to dine with him , and when
unarmed ho came Into the house or palace
which Plznrro by his fayor was occupying ,
ho captured him and the Spmilsh soldiers
slaughtered his attendants. The person of
the Incn king was BO sacred that this event
paralyzed the nation , nnd nt Atahualpa's re
quest war was not made. Then Atahualpa
said If Plrarro would release him , he would
nil the chlnf room In the palace In which
he was confined with gold to a point as
high ns he could reach.
This was agreed to and for several weeks
gold was brought In great loads from all
parts of Peru. The room was seventeen
feet long by twenty-two feet'wide nnd the
point tip to which it was to bo filled wag
designated by n red mark nlno feet above
the floor. The gold was In all sorts of
shapes. Some of It was composed of gold
plates torn from the Temple of the Sun at
Cuzco. There was a great variety of golden
basins , drinking cups and other dishes.
There were vases of all kinds and many
pieces of beautifully carved workmanship.
When the room was almost filled up to the
mark Indicated , Plzarro ordered the Indian
goldsmiths to melt the whole Into Ingots ,
and there was so much gold that they
worked day nnd night for a month In doing
BO. Then Plzarro refused to let Atahualpa
go and with n mock trial had him put to
death. There Is a stone In Cajamalca which
the Indians say Is stained with Atnhualpa's
blood. A prison now covers the spot where
the palace stood and It Is In one of the
rooms of this prison that the stone Is shown.
Stiver Mliiex of North Peril.
The road will also pass through the rich
mining town of Hualgayoe , where the silver
veins arc rich beyond description nnd from
where the silver with which Plzarro's sol
diers shod their horses probably came.
There arc copper nnd lead mines along the
route and as far as I can learn the whole
region Is full of undeveloped mineral wealth.
The workings of the silver mines so far
have been after the rudest methods , the sil
ver being reduced to a sulphide and carried
on mules down to the seaconst , to be shipped
to Rngland or Germany for reduction.
As I write this I see a dispatch In the
Lima paper which Just reached here stating
that the first Installment of rails for this
road has Just been shipped from Philadel
phia. It Is to bo hoped that the work of
construction will bo rapidly pushed , for the
other foreigners here ore very Jealous of
any American Innovations , nnd will not
scruple at anything which will block the
wheels of Yankee progress , This Is es
pecially so of the English , who , through the
Peruvian corporation , now control most of
the railways of Peru. The development of
this concession will make American influ
ence very strong , and It may possibly result
In our getting a coaling station for our navy
In this part of the Pacific. The pier which
has been reared hero for the terminus of
tbo railroad is one of the finest in South
America. It coat , I am told , $1,000,000 to
build it. It Is made of iron , and Is about
forty feet wide and Just about half a mile
long. It extends that distance out Into
the harbor , and forms one of the principal
shipping places of this part of the world.
The steamers do not come to the pier , but
lie Eomo distance away , and the goods are
taken out to them in lighters. This is a
cattle growing country and n largo amount
of live stock is shipped. Cattle are loaded
by raising tham In slings by moans of der
ricks from -the end of the pier and dropping
them into the lighters. When about 100
fat beeves have thus been dropped a lighter
Is full , and It is taken away to the ship.
There Is now a railroad track upon the pier ,
and the cars of the railroad which goes up
this valley bring their shipments of sugar ,
coffee and hides out to the ships over It ,
paying the American company for the privi
lege.
lege.Oil
Oil HenloiiH of Peru anil Ecuador.
All along the coast above hero I saw signs
of the oil fields of Peru. At one port we
stopped and took on thousands of boxes of
petroleum for Lima , and at another wo saw
the refineries on the edge of the sea. There
seems to be an almost continuous strip of
oil territory running down the Pacific coast
from Ecuador for some distance Into Peru.
The Ecuador oil fields I learned of in Guaya
quil. They have not been touched as yet ,
and hardly prospected , BO that the informa
tion concerning them is Indefinite and hazy.
I was told , however , that flowing wells of
crude petroleum are found all along the
Ecuadorian coast from Capo St. Helena
southward , and that In many places the flow
of oil Is such that when the weather Is calm
It covers the sea for a distance out from
the shore with a greasy film. North of
Capo St. Helena wells have been sunk by
Ecuadorians and some of the output has
been sent to Guayaquil to bo used for fuel
In the boilers of the steamers on the Guyas
river. The parties working the wells , how
ever , were natives , and , as Is usual In many
such cases , no practical tests were * made.
From what I was told nt Guayaquil , I should
think it might pay to investigate this terri
tory. The land on which the oil exists be
longs to the government and anyone has the
right to denounce It By "denounce" 1
mean to take It up for mining purposes.
One man , under the law , would have the
right to take up twenty claims , each about
three-eighths of a mlle long by 1.800 feet
wide. After this a yearly tax of $4 In golden
on each claim would have to be paid. If the
territory should produce largely the proper-
tics would bo very valuable on account of
the oil lying near the surface nnd right on
the edge of the sea , where It could bo al
most piped Into the steamers.
The oil fields of Peru have been known to
exist for the labt thirty years , but it Is only
recently that much development has been at
tempted. The oil is found at distances vary
ing from 250 to COO feet below the surface ,
and both flowing and pumping wells have
been exploited. The oil found at Zorrltos ,
north of Palta , yields about 30 per cent of
kerosene , nnd Is said to be good for both
lighting and lubricating purposes. It does
not furnish as good a light as our American
oil and brings only nbout half as much In
the markets here. I am told that a large
number of the companies who have tried the
Peruvian wells have lost money , nnd the
English consul at Lima estimates that about
125,000,000 has been spent without return.
Still , there arc English and Italian com
panies which claim that they are working
at a profit , and one Italian , named Mr. de
Plngglo , Is now producing about 6,000 bar
rels a month , while the London and Pacific
company has tank steamers and operates
the largest refinery on tbo coast. At present
almost all of the oil used In South America
Is supplied by the Standard Oil company.
Peruvian Farmtiiir.
The country scenes here are unlike those
of any part of the world. I can show you
lomo of them In giving you a ride with me
through thli winding vallej to the foothills
of the Andes. Wo go on * railroad built by
an American a couple of decades or moro
ago , but now owned by the English syndicate
known as the Peruvian Corporation. The
cars came from the United States , nnd the
ties are from Oregon. The telegraph pole *
are discarded rails , to which supports have
been bolted to uphold the wires. Th so Iron
poles are used on account of the little ants
which here eat anything wooden ; but do n < 5t
seem to bother the ties. The coriductbr'of
the train Is a little Peruvian , In a linen'suit , '
and on board with us wo have a traveling
postmaster , who sells stamps , takes up-the
letters from the various small villages and
estates as we stop and hands out m ll to
the people who come to the train. Notice
the little farms which we are passing. The
fields are fenced In with thick walls of mud
as high as your waist , and Irrigating ditches
carry sparkling water here and there
through them. The water comes from the
river , but the Irrigation Is carelessly done ,
and a great part of It goes to waste. There
Is a rice field. This Is ono of the best payIng -
Ing crops of this part of Peru , nnd there are
largo mills at Pacasmayo , where the rice Is
hulled , polished and prepared for shipment ,
! ! lr Hiiniir K nten.
Wo go through largo estates'devotcd to I ho
raising of sugar. This Is Peru's gw.tcst
crop. The most of the estates are owned by
foreigners , nnd some In the past have paid
very well. The whole of the coast vallejs
are adapted to sugar raising and ( he cnnq
grows much more easily here than in our
states nbout the Gulf of Mexico. I visited
the Lurn Flco estate the other day. This
was managed nnd built up by Mr. II. H.
Kauffmann. It has pal.l largo dividends
until the fall In prices of seine years' ago ,
when the heart was cut out of the- sugar
business. Many of the plantation * changed
hands nnd Lurn Flco Is now owned by an
English syndicate which has tens of hoU ? .
sands of acres of sugar lands. The factory
of Lura Flco made 5,000 tons of sugar last
year , and It will make more this. 1'hi > fac
tory alone cost $600,000 , ami the Improve
ments on the estate havs footed tip moro
than n million. The moit of the machinery
was Imported from Philadelphia , and the
machine shops nnd foundry are now using
steel plates , which they Import from the
United States. This is so , notwithstanding
the fact that the owners arc English. The
estate uses steam plows , harrows and culti
vators , and I noticed that the plow points
were made nt Hartford. The cano Is hauled
from the fields to the factories by steam en
gines over a portable railroad , and nil sorts
of modern economical machinery is cm-
ployed. There are now over sixty
sugar factories on the coast region
of Peru , and In the neighborhood of
$20,000,000 Is invested In the business. The
amount produced Is about 103,000,000 pounds
a year. The labor Is the native Peruvian
Indian , who receives from 60 to 80 cents In
silver a day , or from 25 to 40 cents of our
money.
Aiiumt the PCOIIN.
I wonder how nn American tenant would
look If he were offered a place on one of
these Peruvian farms. I refer more espe
cially to those on the smaller estates. I
wont Into one of the houses on a plantation
near here today. It Is n sample of thousands
all through Peru. The hut was made of
canes , and you could see out through the
cracks on all sides. The floor was of dirt
and the roof of reeds , being only needed .to
keep out the sun. There was In the house
but ono room , about eighteen feet square.
nbout ns
wooden platform
In ono corner n
high as your knees furnished the sleeping
place for the heads of the family ; the chil
dren slept on the floor. In another corner
was the family cook Btove , two stones placed
Just wldo enough apart to allow an earthen
cooking pot to rest on them. There were no
windows , no chimneys , and , with the excep
tion of a soap box , no furniture. In this
house a family of six lives , and I doubt not
deem themselves happy. Their chickens and
goats live with them , and nil they want Is
enough to cat and drink nnd a chance to get
drunk now and then. These people seem to
have no ambition whatever. They work
hard and are perfectly satisfied. Their em
ployers furnUh them , in addition to their
nnd two pounds
wages , ono pound of meat
of rice dally , and they allow them to run up
such bills at-tho store on the estates as keep
them always In debt to their masters. Our
farmers could not work on such rations as
these men have. They take upon
rising a glass of plsco , or native
whisky , and go to work without breakfast.
This Is at nbout C o'clock In the morning.
This whisky serves them until 11 a. m. ,
when they knock off for lunch , or for what
Is hero called breakfast. This usually con
sists of a stew of goat meat nnd rice. At
1 o'clock they go back to work , and at C
stop for the day. When they get home they
have another stow of meat and rice nnd per
haps a piece or BO of bread. After dinner
they sit about and talk and at 8 or 9 o'clock
He down In the clothes which they have
worn all day and go to sleep. They have
no education and not ono In a hundred of
them can read. Their dress costs them al
most nothing. That of the men Is mode up
of a pair of cotton trousers , a cotton shirt ,
a pair of leather sandals and a straw hat.
The women wear cotton dresses and straw
hats and , in addition , have black woolen
shawls for feast days and Sundays. The
men also have what are known as ponchos.
These arc the overcoats of South America.
They are merely blankets with a short silt
In the middle largo enough to slip the head
through. They are worn by the better
classes , ns well as the poor , and are costly
or otherwise , according to the purse of the
owner.
The fine farm machinery which I hava
written of ns being used Jiere Is , of course ,
to bo found only on the large estates. The
native Peruvians do their work in the
crudest ways. Oxen with plows of wood
tipped with Iron servo as the motive power ,
and the Indian holds the plow with ono hand
and drives with a goad , as the Palestine
farmers did In the days of the scriptures.
