CHAPTER VI.

II the Eagle Tail mine had been To-
Gated In Arizona-or even farther

jumping the claim would have been
delightfully."- simple.
The title had lapsed, and the land
bad reverted to the governmental
1t needed In Arizona was new set of
monuments, location notice at the
discovery shaft. pick and shovel
thrown into the hole. and few legal
formalities.
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 mining title is, in way, a lease,
a concession from the general gov
eminent giving the concessionnare
the right to work certain piece of
ground and to hold it 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 bcnath it, and in GER
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
ternationaf 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.
