The Sugar Mill Co. was first capitalized (1884) at $70,000, raised in 1898 to $125,000; but the holding company (incorporated 1927) was capitalized at one mil­ lion dollars. That gives some idea of what the Fayes have got out of their little gold mine , at the mouth' of the Waimea River. For some reason, Waimea Sugar Mil Co. issued public annual reports 1906-1914. Dur­ ing those nine years its net profits averaged $26,652, or 35.7 per cent on capitalization. Div- zidends averaged $9,166.
