CHAPTER VI.

II the Eagle Tail mine had been To-
Gated in AriZona-or even farther
down in Old Mexico-the method Of
jumping the claim would have been
delightfully."- simple.
The title had lapsed, and the land
had reverted to the governmental
1t needed in Arizona was new set Of
monuments, a location notice at the
discovery shaft. a pick and shovel
thrown into the hole, and few legal
formalitiee.
But in Mexico 1t is different. Not
that the legal formalities are lacking
far from it-but the whole theory Of
mines and mining is different In Mex
leo a mining title is, in way, lease.
a concession from the general gov
ernment giving the concessionnaire
the right to work a certain piece of
ground and to hold 1t as long as he
pays a mining tax of three dollars an
acre pear year.
But no final papers or patents are
ever issued, the possession of the sur
face Of the ground does not go with
the right to mine benath 1t, and In cer-
tain parts of Mexico NO foreigner can
hold title to either mines or land.
A prohibited or frontier zone, eighty
kilometers in width, lies along the In
ternational boundary line, and in that
neutral zone no foreigner can de-
nounce , mining claim and NO foreign
corporation can acquire title to one.
The Eagle Tail was Just inside the
zone.
But-there is always a but" when
you go to good lawyer-while for
purposes Of war and national safety
foreigners are not allowed to hold land
along the line, they are at perfect lib
erty to hold stock in Mexican corpora
tions owning property within the pro-
hibited zone; and-here is where the
graft comes in-they may even hold
title in their own name if they first
obtain express permission from the
chief executive of the republic.
Not having any drag with the chief
executive, and not caring to risk their
title to the whims of succeeding ad-
ministrations. Hooker and De Lancey.

For Good Roads Day.

Waldo Finn, the County Road
0verseer says that Governor West 's
special Good Roads Day will be OBJ
served in Polk County and prepara-
tions are being made by the supervis-
ors of the several road districts fol-
extensive good road work. The people
generally are taking up quickly with
the idea as the exceedingly wet wealth
er of the past 6 months has put the
roads of the county in bad shape.
a special order for good weather
on the 25th has been put in with the
weather bureau. and it is safe to say
that we will get it if we only wish
for it hard enough. Therefore it on
ly remains for the people of the
towns and country to prepare and on
the day set, sally forth and put in
some good hard work making the
roads better, such as taking the large
stones out of the way, cleaning the
roadway neatly. filling chucks and
ruts, opening drains, hauling gravel,
etc.
