FOREIGNERS
Will HenCeforth Not Be Allowed
to Take Out Mining Con-
CeSsi0nS in Korea.

SEOUL. Korea, Jan. 25.-Foreigners
and foreign juridical persons will
henceforth not be allowed to take out
mining concessions in Korea. That Is
the broad significance Of the revised
mining ordinance for Korea which was
promulgated a few days ago and which
will come into force on April l. The
new regulations possess great interest
for foreign business interests.
Although a detailed translation OF
the ordinance is not yet available a
summary by officials indicates that an
exception to the general rule men
toned above will be made in favor Of
such foreign juridical persons as are
recognized by the law Of Japan. 1t is
explained also that the new regula-
lions will not affect those foreigners
or foreign companies actually in pos
session Of mining concessions and they
are at perfect liberty to transfer their
rights to other foreigners. The mining
! concessions secured by foreigners by
arrangement with the former Korean
government will also hold good after
the enforcement of the revised regu-
lations. Tungsten and ten other min
erals have been added to the list OF
mines which will come under the con-
troll of the new ordinances, the total
of such minerals being increased to
