MINE TITLES IN MEXICO.
Procedure in Denoencing Properties
 and Securing Ownership.
Mexican Herald

mineral lands in Mexico way be divided into five steps: CD, De- nouncement; (2), publication of announcement; (3), the survey; (4), certification of monuments; (5), registering the title. The original Announcement should be as accurate a description of the lands applied for as the conditions permit. A permanent landmark such as the mouth of an old tunnel or shaft should be chosen as the starting point. Should none exist, 9 spring, mountain peak or pass, the intersection of two roads, or corners of adjoining or nearby claims may be used. One or more of these points should be used in defining the boundaries of the de- nouncement and the approximate courses and distances given. There is no limit as to the amount of land applied for. Where no other claims adjoin or are included the denouncement must be made up of complete pertenencias, which are 100-meter squares. The area of the land desired should be given.
 It Is also necessary to state what ores or minerals the locator expects to exploit and to describe their oc- curence as far as known; stating if they occur in veins, beds or ir- regular masses. In case of a blanket Announcement covering 8 group of claims it should be specifically stated that all free pertenencias and fractions are to be included.
 As the Mexican states are divid- ed into districts and the districts are subdivided into municipalities, it should be noted in what district and municipality the denounce- ment is located.
 FORM or ANNOUNCEMENT
 The following form, in duplicate, should be used; "Citizen Agent of the Department of Fomento in the Bureau of Mining.

 (Signed) JOHN D0E."
 In all mining districts of import ance there is an agency of the department of fomento for the purpose of accepting denounce- ments and transacting other busi- ness relating to mineral lands. This office is usually in the largest town of the district. In districts having no agency, the postmaster is authorized to accept denounee- ments.
 PRESENTING THE ANNOUNCEMENT.
 Before presenting the denounce- ment to the agent a deposit of five pesos per pertenencia must be madewith the federal tax collector. He will issue a receipt which should be pinned to the Announcement. The latter is then ready to be handed to the agent. It may be added that all measurements throughout must be in the metric system and that all papers must be in Spanish.
 On receiving the Announcement the agent will register it in q book kept for that purpose. In the register and on the original and duplicate of the Announcement he will mark the date and hour of presentation, his signature and atfix the seal of the agency. He then returns the duplicate to the locator. Within three days after receiving the denouncement the agent must appoint the surveyor who is to make the survey and within eight days the surveyor must accept the appointment. The agent then hands the surveyor a certified copy of this appointment, outlining his duties and warning all persons against opposing his work.
