THE MEXICAN pERTENENCiA
An Accurate Definition cs What This
 Mining Word Means.

The following by MT James w. Nal colsom, printed in New York paper, is a clear definition of the Mexican 'pertenencia."
 A Mexican pertenencia is a single indivisib,e mining claim, and is the official unit of area for mining ground. Where possible it must be rectangu- lar, but in any case must contain 10000 square meters. It is bounded by vertical planes. lt is the smallest area which may be located on ground not already limited by surrounding loca- tions. The possession of a pertenen- cia gives no right to the surface ground within its boundaries. An an nual payment of sl0 Mexican currency payable to the federal government, is required to bod each pertenencia in Mexico. Mining property in Mexico differs from that in the United States in this principal respect: A United States patent gives aboslute perpetual possession. while a Mexican title to a pertenencia is simply a lease of the underground which is forfeited three months after failure to pay the rent

 Undoubtedly some engineers hesi- tate to give figures of probable cost for fear that those who may subse- .quentIy have the management of the property may work or different lines from those suggested in the report, with a consequent difference in cost, which may or may not be compliment tary to the engineer making the esti- mate. but if the report is based upon the actual conditions and costs of ob- taining at the time the report is made, the engineer need feel 10 hesitancy in expressing his own conclusions Some. noted records have been made by engineers, who, having rendered a report on mining property, including statement of cost, and being placed in charge of the property. have made the expense account correspond so closely to their previous estimate of cost as to cause much favorable com ment on the part of the owners.
 Viewed from another standpoint, the person employing the engineer may desire to have the cost of mining and reduction omitted as without the costs the report makes a favorable showing owing to the large amount of ore in sight" but if the cost of mining this ore and reducing it accompany the report, the most favorable statement would prove the property incapable of producing a profit. A noted engineer reported OF gold property some years since. and in his report stated that there were four millions of do lars in sight. Another engineer was sent to verify the report and did so. but added that it would require five mil lions to get it out This case is di- rectIy in point. and shows the necessi- y Of careful engineer making a report so complete that whoever may have occasion to read it may comprehend tRe situation in all its details. and from . business standpoint be able to judge of the commercial value Of the property for ,yes.-Mining and Scientific Press.

SAN CARLOS STRIP SEGREGATED
 DEAL ON O'BRIEN CLAIMS

The famous San Carlos strip has at last been granted to the claimants or rather petitioners by the Interior de partment. This has been an excep- tional case and it has been closely watched by the mining men. The San Carlos strip is a mineral section which lies along the southwestern boundary of the San Carlos Indian reservation course, mineral rights are not recog- nized by the government on Indian reservations. The existence of mineral of a raying grade quantity in this strip was discovered some years ago by two prospectorS The property was looked upon as a bonanza and a company headed by Prof. James Doug las, was organized to exploit it. Con siderable development work was done on the claims before it was discov- cred that they were on the reservation. A fight was begun then and there to have this particular strip segregated from the San Carlos reservation. The battle was won a short time ago and The company will again resume devei- ormert work.
 There is a bit of local interest in the recpeDirg of work on this group. The company is anxious to secure all of the good claims contiguous to its camp and is now negotiating for the purchase of the O'Brien claims which adjoin. The O'Brien claims are owned by James O'Brien, of this city. The property is said TO consist of a noun tain of ore that will run and per cent in copper The company has made Mr O'Brien an offer for his prop erty and the money has been placed in the Consolidated National bank. It appears that the titles on the O'Brien claims are not all clear and as soon as this difficulty is arranged the deal will be closed.

 All three of the big pumps which the company have are of the same make and all of the parts interchange able, so that. in case a part of one breaks it can easily be fixed by sub stituting a part of one of the others. During the time the big pump was closed inc four sinking pumps were kept exceeding busy in keeping the water from the men at work in the shaft.

THE VALUATION OF MINES

When a mining engineer is called upon to examine and report upon 9 mine he takes upon himself responsi- biIity which may be far-reaching in it's consequences, for upon his report money is likely to be invested or with held from investment. He should not only make a careful investigation of the resources and condition of the mine, but should state every fact in any way having bearing upon the cost of operating the property. It is comparatively easy for an experienced engineer to sample a mine, and by this means arrive at the gross value in the workings, basing the estimate on the average value of samples and the amount of ore in sight" and many reports containing this sort of infor- nation neglect to give the cost of oper- ations.
 In addition to gross values of ore in sight should be given the cost of ex- tracing the available ore, and Of con verting it. into bullion, but some engi- neers do not give these figures, though offering no reason for failing to supply 'them.
