Mindoro, Close fo Manila,
One of Wildest of Philippines
Washington. D. C. April 24
Mindoro has remained one of the
least developed of the larger is
lands of the Philippines through
out Uncle Sani's 44-year steward
ship of the group, says the Na
tional Geographic Society.
Ranking seventh in size among
the 7,000 islands. Mindoro Is half
as large as New Jersey. Krom
Mount Calavlte, rising 5,000 feet
on the peninsula at the island's
northwestern tip, a heavy wooded
ridge runs east to majestic Mount
Halcon, 8,488 feet, at the center of
Mindoro's northern coast. From
this crown, ranges run toward
to only nine miles between Es-
carceo and ftiaiacot roinis.
Because of its wild, highland in
terior, Mindoro is like New
Guinea. Deep penetration by op
nosinc? armies is difficult. The
island's only good road connects
Calapan, on the northeast, with
Bongabong, well south on the east
coast, tasewnere, coast iumc
and inland villages connect by
water route except for crude
mountain trails. A short railway
connects San Jose's sugar indus
tries with warehouses and
wharves on the coast at Camina
wit Point. The first airplane

Mindoro is another of the many
Pacific islands which Spanish ex

the presence of gold. Its name
means Mine of Gold, but after
four centuries it has yet to live
up to its name.
