MEXICAN MINING PROPERTY TO
BE SOLD FOR TAXES
Owners of 10000, Including Gold and
Silver, Have Failed to Pay
the Levy.

Mexico City, Oct. 1S.-After October
81 there will be scramble for about
5000 mines, including gold and silver,
upon which the owners, for one reason
or another, have failed to pay taxes.
The best of the idle mines are being
closely watched by men who hope to
become owners of them
When the trouble began in Mexico
with the driving out of President Diaz
in his old age, after he had ruled, with
one brief interruption, since 1876, there
were 10000 mines in Mexico upon
which the owners were regularly pay
ing taxes. Now less than 5000 of
these mines are in operation. Owners
of more than 10000 mines have failed
TO pay their taxes and on October 81
will be at the mercy of those who are
waiting TO make the scramble.
Inquiry has shown that some of the
owners are dead. Their heirs have
apparently not been properly advised
as to the steps to be taken to protect
their interests. Other owners have
been forced to leave Mexico, because
Of the years of turmoil and probably
do not know that their rights are in
