along the central route from Lima 10

regarding the legal status Of foreigners,
mining and rubber laws. opportunities
in Peru, etc, and the following ex-
tracts have been made:
The immigrant enjoys the same civil
rights as the native Peruvian. He may
become the proprietor Of mountain or
forest lands cOnformably 10 the law Of
1898, which establishes the methods OF
acquisition by purchase. by concession.
by contract OF colonization. and By free
Coast lands can be acquired
on condition of iTrigating them con
formally to the law of 1888 In order 20
encourage immigration, the government
offers the colOntst all kinds Of exemption
from taxes.
Wages are more remunerative in
Peru than than in the neighboring coUn-
JEleSs on account oI the scarcity OF Ia
Dor. A field hand gets from IS to 81
cents per day; mechanics. carpenters,
and bIacksmiths, according to competi-
ton, from - cents to $1-95 per day.

CHILEAN NITRATE ASSOCIATION.
Consul R E Mansfield, at Valparaiso,
reports Nav n:

Practically all OF the nitrate supply
OF the world comes from Chile This i'm
mense industry is under the control of a
unique commercial organization, known
as the Nitrate Association, which, in
March, 1901, was formed for the purpose
Of limiting the output, maintaining
prices. and disposing OF the product
through one general agency
The association has recently issued a
report, from which It appears that the
exports in 1901 amounted to 2,73S. 523
tons. leaving stocks of 627. 493 tons.
There were also some 1.909.44S tons
aloat.
The association takes a gloomy view
Of the future Of the nitrate industry, al
Ieging that the erection of new works
viii bring about an increased produc-
ton, and may. through a readjustment
OF quotas. result in a dissolution of the
association.
In November Of last year, thirty-two
lots Of nitrate properties were offered
for sale at auction by the government,
twenty-efght OF which found purchasers.
There was realized from the sale $685.
399- Ont Of this sale there have sprung
up q number of new works, and eighteen
are 20 be added 10 the seventy seven
now in the combination. The govern
ment is preparing 10 place upon the
market another lot OF twenty-one nj
tTate properties. which VIII probably
result in the building of other works.
With these the productive power will be
greatly increased. and fears are enter
tanned by the association that its pres
ent prosperity Will be OF short dura-
ton. On the other hand. the new com
panies claim that producers are reaping
enormous profits from tie business.
