One of Philippine Group is an Inland of Mystery

Mindoro, In the Philippine group, is something of a mystery. Other Islands are rather thickly populated, but of Mindoro hardly anything is known. There is a fringe of population around the shore line, but the interior of the big island Is practically unknown and uaexplpred. It is claimed that but dne white man. Dean Worcester, ever has crossed the interior of Mindoro. Why the island has regained thus for nearly 300 years is quite hard to understand. It is said that there is gold in abundance on this Island, and where there is gold there usually can be found white men willing to go after it, whether in frozen waste or tropic heat, but Mindoro’s secrets remain safely hidden.
