THE CUBA REVIEW 



Inggnio "Monona," Quantanamo. 



INGENIO ••MONONA." GUANTANAMO 



The entire work of construction and out- 

 fitting has been under the personal super- 

 vision of Mr. Horace Rugglcs of New York. 



In addition to the reguhition sugar mill this 

 central will be fitted with the necessary ma- 

 chinery for making white sugar (the first of 

 its kind in Cuba) and will have facilities for 

 handling 300 tons of cane per day, with an 

 output of 10 tons of white sugar per day, for 

 local consumption on the island. 



There are many interesting features about 



this "little toy" sugar mill and refinery in 

 addition to its added improvement over other 

 centrals in the making of white sugar, and not 

 the leiust of these is the novel system employed 

 by Mr. Ruggles in cooling the condenser 

 water by piping the same to a large open 

 basin located about fifty yards from the en- 

 gine room where it is cooled by fountains 

 spraying the steam and water into the air. 

 and it falls back into the basin and flows back 

 through intake pipes to the tanks to be again 

 u.sed in the mill.
