SURE TO GET MIXED, ANYWAY
HoteIkeeper's Reasoning Settled All
Argument About Clean Plato
for the Drummer.

The drummer from New York was
making his first trip through Maine
and had travelled up into the ARGOS
took region, where the towns are
small and far apart and the chief prod
ucts potatoes and Christmas trees.
Here he stopped over night in q
hamlet that possessed merely a very
primitive inn. At dinner there was
no soup, but he was served with fish.
Then instead of his plate being
changed the waitress came with a
platter OF meat and placed generous
helping carefully on one side of the
fish bones. The drummer did not balk
at that, for he was very hungry and
ready to pass over almost anything
for the sake of a good meal, and he
though it might be the regular Maine
style.
Presently, however, the girl brought
in another platter full OF pieces Of pie
and one of these she slid off on the
same plate. Then the traveller thought
1t time to call halt, for he had not
yet become used to pie with fish
flavor.
The serving maid was a bit uncer-
tain whether he could have the clean
plate he requested and called the
landlord in, to whom the guest ex-
plained his trouble. The host listened
attentively, but when the drummer
finished he withered that modest New

CHAPTER vi.

If the Eagle Tail mine had been 10
Gated in Arizoua-or even farther
down in Ola Ncxico-thc method OF
jumping the claim would have been
delightfully."- simple
The title had lapscd, and the land
had reverted to the gOvernment-all
il needed in Arizona was a new set Of
monuments. a location notice at the
discovery shaft, pick and shovel
thrown into the hole, and a few legal
formalities.
But in Mexico it 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 concessionnaire
the right to work a certain piece Of
ground and to hold it as .ong 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 II, 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
ternational boundary line, and in that
neutral zone no foreigner can de-
nounce a mining claim and no foreign
corporation can acquire a title to one.
The Eagle Tail was just inside the
zone.
But-there is always a but" when
you go to a 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
tons owning property within the pro
hibited zone; and-here Is where the
graft comes in-they may even hold
title in their own name il they first
obtain express permission from the
chief executive of the republic.

had little sympathy with the hypo-
