The Cuba Company in the construc- 

 tion of its railway system, opened to set- 

 tlement and productive cultivation an 

 area of twelve to fifteen million acres, 

 or nearly one-half of the entire island, 

 which had previously been of little or 

 no value. 



There are now 440>^ miles in opera- 

 tion, not including sidings and spurs, of 

 which 356 miles constitutes the main line 

 from Santa Clara to Santiago. There 

 are seven branches, varying in length 

 from four to thirty-one miles. The com- 

 pany, at the end of their fiscal year, 

 June 30, 1908, had 47 locomotives, 56 

 passenger train cars, 1,201 freight cars. 



15 conductors' cars, 26 auxiliary cars, 

 and three steam shovels. In addition to 

 these are four steam tugs and seven 

 lighters. The gross earnings in 1904 

 were $524,041.60, and the operating ex- 

 penses $566,199.24, showing a deficit of 

 $42,077.64, or a little over 8 per cent. In 

 1905, the earnings were $1,029,256.53 and 

 the operating expenses $733,635.16, leav- 

 ing the net earnings $295,623.37. There 

 has been an annual increase in the gross 

 earnings, and for the year ending June 

 30, 1908, they were $2,039,467.95, and 

 the operating expenses were $1,318,180.36, 

 or 64.63 per cent, of the gross earnings, 

 leaving the net earnings $721,287.59, and, 

 after deducting $365,863.34 for interest
