granted, and the national legislative
assembly has approved, concession

the exclusive right to manufacture
paper of all kinds from such raw ma
terials as he may acquire in the re-
public; in addition to the product of

tion, within Is months from above
date; free entry is granted for all ma
terial used in construction of the plant,
for the machinery equipment, chem
icals, and everything necessary for the
manufacture of paper and maintenance
of the enterprise. The capacity of the
mill, as we'll as the modern character
of its machinery, must be equal to any
demands which may be made upon it
for the requirements of the republic.
In return for the privileges granted
and that "the people may derive bene-
fit from the establishment of the new
enterprise it is stipulated in the con-
tract that "the concessionaire is Obliged
TO instruct 10 young men (whem the
government shall designate) in the

sible, and the government is to be
furnished its supply of paper at dis
count of 20 per cent from the estab-
lished price.
The concession, including all of it's
rights and privileges. may be trans
ferred to an individual or syndicate
which can assure the government of its
ability to carry out the provisions of
the contract.

gold mines and other mineral resources
has added to the general prosperity of
the state.
