A lengthy survey details multiple Hawaii sugar operations including capacity of vacuum pans and mills, steam power usage, and water systems. It notes mill outputs around 7000 tons yearly per site, extraction near 9 percent, and extensive infrastructure such as housing for workers, hospitals, roads, rail, and tramways for loading ships.
The Pepeekee Sugar Company property lies on Hawaii's windward side between Hilo and Honokaa, spanning 10 000 to 11 000 acres with three small leases. Formerly Kaupakies owned by Mr. Afong, it was purchased and incorporated by Alexander Young in 1849 as Pepechee Sugar Company. About 3600 acres are planted in cane with Lahaina Rose Bamboo and Yellow jon varieties. Cane is transported to the mill via fifteen miles of stationary fumes and portable lines. the plantation fronts the ocean for three miles and extends four miles inland, with one section reaching thirteen miles back. Each year the crop runs 700 to 800 acres of ratooning, cane matures in eighteen to twenty months, and the plant averages five tons per acre.
