TEXAS DEDICATION To my friends, the Mexican people, among whom I have lived and worked, thia book is respectfully dedicated by J. S. CURTISS. November 15th, 1920 INTRODUCTION Insofar as the author knows, this is the first Securities Handbook ever presented to the public which is devoted exclusively to the Re public of Mexico and its Properties and Securities. It has been our endeavor to issue a book which would appeal to the business and pro fessional man as well as the banker and broker. For this reason we have included herein a great deal of general information on Mexico which will be valuable to the lawyer, the layman and the mining man. No attempt has been made to give exhaustive descriptions of the largest and best known corporations of American origin operating in Mexico, such as the Mexican Petroleum Company, American Smelt ing and Refining Co., Greene Cananea Copper Co., etc., as we believe the entire English speaking world is familiar with great companies of this character. Rather have we tried to give fully the information which is so hard to find regarding the Mines, Estates, Cotton Planta tions ^and Industrial Corporations operating in our sister Republic. The writer has spent ten years in collecting the data for this Handbook which has been obtained from every known source. How ever,' ten years of civic disturbances in Mexico have made it difficult to obtain all the data desired, but in each case every effort has been made to obtain as accurate reports as possible. My heartiest thanks is extended to the various Chambers of Com merce throughout the Republic of Mexico who have assisted me with material for the preparation of this work. J. S. CURTISS.

THE INTERNATIONAL BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. The International Bureau of the American Republics has its headquar ters in Washington, D. C. It is maintained by the joint action and contri butions of all the Republics of the Western Hemisphere, -for the purpose not only of promoting commerce and trade, but of developing among them BUREAU OF AMERICAN REPUBLICS 35 better acquaintance, closer relations, and more intimate intercourse along material, educational, intellectual and social lines. It is an organization which has no counterpart in the world. It is not a bureau subordinate to any one Department of the United States Govern ment, as many people suppose, but it is the independent office of the Gov ernments of Latin America as much as of the United States. Its control is in the hands of a Governing Board, made up of all the diplomatic repre sentatives in Washington of the American Republics and presided over by the Secretary of the United States. This Board, in turn, choose the Direc tor, who is the chief administrative officer and responsible to the Board for the management of the Bureau. The funds for its maintenance are provided by appropriations of the American Republics made in proportion to their population, so that the SmalieSt of the nations in area has as much interest in its support as the larger countries, like the United States. The twenty-one Republics repre sented on the Governing Board are, in order of population, United States, Brazil, Mexico, Argentine Republic, Peru, • Colombia, Chile, Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba, Guatemala, Salvador, Haiti, Ecuador, Uruguay, Honduras, Paraguay, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Panama and Costa Rica. The Bureau was organized in conformity with a resolution of the First International Conference of American States, held in Washington, in the winter of 1889-1890. This Conference was called during the Presidency of General Benjamin Harrison by the Hon. James G. Blaine, Secretary of State. It included representatives from eighteen of the American Repub lics. The Second Conference of the American States was held in Mexico in 1901-1902. This Conference made many important changes in the' fun damental laws of the Bureau, to a large extent altering its purpose, broad ening its work, and making it more international in character. The Third Conference, which met in Rio de Janerio in 1906, further enlarged the work of the Bureau, adding to its importance and usefulness as an international agency. The fundamental purposes of the Bureau as outlined in the reso lution of the Third Conference are: To compile and distribute commercial information and prepare com mercial reports. To compile and classify information respecting the treaties and con ventions between the American Republics and between the latter and non- American States. To supply information on educational matters. To prepare reports on questions assigned to it by resolutions of the International American Conferences. To assist in obtaining the ratification of the resolutions and conven tions adopted by the Conferences. To carry into effect all resolutions, the execution of which may have been assigned or may hereafter be assigned to it by International American Conferences. In addition to these, it acts as the continuing agent of the Conferences in the intervals occurring between the same. It carries on correspondence with the several Governments in matters appertaining to the International Union of American Republics. The Governing Board of the Bureau for mulates the programme and outlines the work of each International Con ference of the American Republics. The Bureau is located in a handsome building on 17th Street in the City of Washington, erected at a cost of $750,000, which amount was do nated by Mr. Andrew Carnegie. In addition, the Latin American Republics have contributed the large sum necessary to furnish the building. The United States appropriated $200,000 for the purchase of the ground, about five acres. The corner-stone of the building was laid with imposing cere monies, in which President Roosevelt, Secretary Root, and other high of ficials and representatives of all the Latin American Republics took part on May 11, 1908. The building was dedicated on April 26, 1910, in a most impressive manner. The dedication by President Taft, in the presence of a very distinguished gathering, was a deeply interesting and inspiring cer emony. The assemblage included Mr. Carnegie, the diplomatic corps in 36 MEXICAN PROPERTIES AND SECURITIES Washington, most of the high officials of the Government, and a number of distinguished citizens. The present Director of the Bureau, Mr. John Barrett, has held office since January, 1907. During his regime the new building was proposed, erected, and is now occupied. As evidence of the practical work of the Bureau under the present ad ministration, the following facts can be cited: 1. During the year, 1909, the Bureau received nearly 30,000 letters from all parts of the world, asking for specific and important information on various subjects pertaining to Latin America. In the same period there were sent out nearly 30,000 letters giving direct and special data which re quired careful preparation. 2. Apart from these, there were received over 12,000 letters requesting printed matter, and there were distributed over 450,000 bulletins, handbooks, pamphlets and circulars. 3. Each month, the Bureau sends out 10,000 Bulletins, of not less than 200 pages each, which contain all the latest descriptive and statistical in formation concerning the commerce and trade and the industrial develop ment of the twentyr-one American Republics. 4. Handbooks, averaging 200 to 400 pages each, on the principal American countries have already been published or are in process of pre paration, which are distributed free or at a charge covering simply the cost of printing and paper. 5. Pamphlets and circulars containing accurate information in rela tion to mining, immigration, tariff and land laws, reports of consular offi cers, articles and addresses by diplomats or specialists about the various countries and their characteristics are published and distributed where they will do the most good. 6. Manufacturers, exporters and merchants wishing to exploit the markets in countries other than their own are being informed of the con ditions prevailing in the field to be entered, and the best way to become acquainted with it, while persons wishing to travel for business or pleas ure are told the best routes to follow. 7. In the intellectual and educational field of intercourse the- systems of the universities and colleges of North and South America are being studied, and an effort is being made to bring about an exchange. of repre sentative scholars and publicists. 8. The study of Spanish and Portugese is being strongly urged in the different schools of North America, and of -English in similar schools and institutions of South America, while both colleges and public libraries are being provided with lists of books which will give information regarding the historical, political, intellectual and material development of each coun try. 9. Practical steps have been taken to carry out in detail the pro gramme outlined at the Rio de Janeiro Conference. While it is somewhat difficult to advance this broad- programme as rapidly as desirable, enough has been accomplished to give an indication of the great good that will re sult to all the American Republics from the enlarged scope of the Bureau, which will reach its fulfillment as the different Republics increase their ap-- propriations, or quotas, and as the staff shall be strengthened by the addi tion of more experts. One of the important features of the International Bureau, which is not yet fully appreciated, is the Columbus Memorial Library. It now con tains nearly 20,000 volumes, covering a great variety of commercial, his torical and general information concerning the different American Repub lics. It is intended to enlarge this library, so that it will be the most complete collection of Americana in the world. The resolution of the Second Pan-American Conference, approved by the Third, recommends that each Government shall provide this Library with copies of all its of ficial publications. Such a collection alone would make it invaluable for consultation and reference. Today it is being used by statesmen writers students, travellers, business men, and others who wish to obtain reliable information about any American country.

Art._ 3. — Instruction is free; but that imparted in the -official schools as also in private establishments, must be laical. No religious body, nor a minister of any religious' sect, will be allowed to establish or direct schools of primary education. Private primary schools may only be es tablished under official supervision. In the official schools primary in struction will be imparted gratis. Art. 4. — No one may be prevented from practicing any honest pro fession, or from engaging in any legitimate industry, business or labor. This privilege may only be revoked by a judicial sentence when the rights of a third party are interfered with or by Government act, in the terms dictated by the law, when the rights of society are offended. No one may be deprived of the product of his labor except by a judicial sentence. Each State will designate by law the professions for the practice of which a diploma is needed, the conditions which must be met to obtain such di ploma, and the authorities who will be authorized to grant same. Art. 5. — Nobody may be obliged to give his personal labor without a just recompense, and without his full consent, except in the case of work imposed as a penalty for crime by the Judicial authority, as provided for in Fractions I and II of Article 123. As regards public services, serving in the army, on juries, on municipal councils, and elective positions, are obligatory under the conditions established by the respective laws; serv ing on election boards is both obligatory and gratuitous. The State can not authorize any contract, pact or agreement which has for its object the loss or the irrevocable sacrifice of the liberty of man, whether through the cause of labor, education, or religious vow. The law, in consequence, prohibits the establishment of monastic orders of any denomination, whatever may be the object they pretend to have in view. Neither may any contract or agreement be made in which a man voluntarily goes into proscription or exile, and renounces temporarily or permanently to follow his chosen profession, business or industry. A labor contract only obliges the laborer to serve during the time fixed by law, and may not exceed one year if prejudicial to the laborer, and must in no case cause the loss of, the renouncement, or the diminishing of any of his political or civil rights. If a laborer fails to comply to his contract, he may only be held liable for the corresponding civil responsibility, and in no case may his person be seized or molested. Art. 6. — Freedom of speech may not be subject to any judicial or ad ministrative inquisition, except when it attacks morality, the rights of a third party, leads to crime, or disturbs the public order. Art. 7. — The liberty to write and publish articles on any subject what soever is inviolable. No law or authority may establish a previous een- 38 MEXICAN PROPERTIES AND SECURITIES sorship, nor demand security from authors or printers, nor restrain the liberty of the press, which has no further limits than the respect due to private life, morality and public peace. In no case may the press be con sidered as an instrument of crime. The organic laws will dictate what ever provisions may be necessary to avoid the arrest, on pretext of de nouncement of crimes of the press, of the dealers, newsboys, operators, and other employes of the establishment in which the article denounced originated, unless the responsibility of such employes has been previously shown. Art. 8. — The right of petition in writing, in a pacific and respectful manner, must be respected, but in political matters only citizens of the Republic may exercise this right. Every petition must be followed by a written answer from the authority to which it may have been addressed, and the latter is under obligation to make the result known to the petition er as quickly as possible. Art. 9. — The right to hold meetings or form societies for a legitimate purpose may not be interfered with; but only citizens of the Republic may do so when the object is political. No armed meeting has a right to de liberate. A meeting held for the purpose of presenting a petition to, or protesting against the acts of the authorities is not to be considered illegal and may not be dissolved, if insults are not proferred, or violence of threats used to intimidate or oblige the authorities to decide in favor of the meeting. Art. 10. — The inhabitants of the Republic of Mexico may possess for their security and legitimate defence, arms of any class whatever, except those expressly prohibited by law, or those which the Nation reserves for the exclusive use of the Army, Navy, and National Guard; but arms may not be carried except in compliance with police regulations. Art. 11. — Every man has a right to enter, leave, or travel within the Republic, or change his residence, without the necessity of a safeguard, passport, safe-conduct, or other similar requisite. This liberty is subject to the jurisdiction of the judicial authorities in the case of criminal or civil liability; as to the limitations fixed by law regarding emigration, immigra tion, and the public health; and as regards pernicious aliens residing in the Republic. Art. 12.— Titles of nobility, hereditary prerogatives or honors, will not be granted in the Republic of Mexico, nor will recognition be given to those granted by other countries. Art. 13. — No one may be tried by private laws or by special courts. No person or corporation will be exempt from the laws, nor enjoy other emoluments than those fixed by law as the first recompense for public services. The law of war subsists for misdemeanors or transgressions of military discipline; but in no case and for no motive may the military courts have jurisdiction over persons not pertaining to the army. When a private citizen is implicated in a transgression of military orders, the corresponding civil authority will take charge of the case. Art. 14.— No law may be made retroactive to the prejudice of any person. No one may be deprived of life, liberty, or his property, pos sessions or rights, except by trial before courts previously established, in which the essential formalities of the case are complied with, in conform ity with laws enacted prior to the act. In criminal trials no penalty may be imposed for reasons of analogy or even for a superabundance of rea sons, which is not decreed by a law exactly applicable to the crime under consideration. In civil trials the sentence should be based on the letter of the law or the judicial interpretation of same, or if this is not possible, on the general principles of the law. Art. 15.— Treaties may not be celebrated for the extradition of political prisoners, nor for those offenders of the common order who were in a con dition of slavery in the country in which the crime was committed- nor NEW CONSTITUTION OF MEXICO 39 may agreements or treaties be made which tend to alter the guarantees and rights granted to man to the citizen by this Constitution. Art. 16.— No one may be disturbed in his person, family, home, docu ments or possessions, except by virtue of a written order from the com petent authority setting forth due legal cause for such proceeding. The judicial authority may not give any warrant for arrest or detention, ex cept after a denouncement, accusation or complaint has been made to them pf a crime the penalty for which is corporal punishment, and when ac companied by the declaration, under oath, of a person worthy of credit, or by other conclusive data which make probable the guilt of the accused. Exception to the foregoing is made in the case of flagrant crimes, when any person may arrest or detain the criminal and his accomplices, plac ing them without delay at the disposition of the nearest authority. Only in most urgent cases of crimes which must be followed up immediately when no. judicial authority is available, may the administrative authority, upon their most strict responsibility, decree the detention of the accused, placing him immediately thereafter at the disposition of the judicial au thority. Search warrants must be given in writing by the judicial au thority, and must set forth the place to be searched, the person or per sons who should be arrested and the objects for which search should be made, to which the search must be limited, and on completion a written record must be made in the presence of two witnesses provided by the occupant of the place searched, or in his absence or refusal, by the au thority making the search. The administrative authority may only make domiciliary visits to insure compliance with the sanitary and police regu lations; and to exact the exhibition of the books and documents necessary to prove that the fiscal regulations have been respected; being subject in such cases to the respective laws and to the formalities prescribed for searches. Art. 17. — No one may be imprisoned for debt of a purely civil nature. No person may take the law in his own hands nor exercise violence to reclaim his. rights. The purpose of the tribunals is to administer justice expeditiously; this shall be gratuitous, consequently judicial costs are prohibited. Art. 18.— A person may only be detained in prison during the investi gation of a crime which merits corporal punishment. The place of such detention will be distinct and separate from that in which final sentences are served. The Federal and State Governments will organize, in their respective territories, the penal system, colonies, penitentiaries and prisons on the basis of work as the means of regeneration. Art. 19. — No person may be detained for- more than three days with out a formal commitment to prison, in which is expressed: the crime of Which he is accused; the time, place and circumstances; and the evidence already' gathered, which must be sufficient to prove the fact of the crime and the probable guilt of the accused. The authorities who order or con sent to the detention of the accused party, as well as the police agents, wardens, or jailors who execute such detention, will be punished for infractions -of this provision. The process may only take, into account the crime or crimes shown in the formal commitment. If during the pro cess of a trial it is shown that a crime not named therein has been com mitted, another and separate accusation must be made, and the different crimes may not be accumulated to the prejudice of the accused. Maltreat ment in the apprehension or in the prisons, undue trouble caused to the accused without legal reason therefor, and fees or contributions levied in the prisons, are abuses which will be corrected by the laws and suppressed and punished by the authorities. Art. 20. — In every criminal trial the accused' shall have the follow ing guarantees: I. He will immediately be placed at liberty under a bond up to ten thousand pesos, according to personal circumstances and the gravity of the crime of which he is accused, whenever said crime is not punishable by more than five years imprisonment, without having to com- 40 MEXICAN PROPERTIES AND SECURITIES ply with other requisites than placing the respective amount of money, or a mortgage or personal bond sufficient to guarantee same, at the disposition of the authorities. II. He may not be compelled to testify against himself, and for this reason solitary confinement^ and other meth ods which might tend to cause the prisoner to incriminate himself are strictly prohibited. III. The name of his accuser and the nature and cause of the accusation must be made known to him in a public hearing within forty-eight hours after his formal commitment to prison, in order that he may be fully informed of the deed of which he is accused and may answer the charge, making at this time his preliminary declaration. IV. He will be confronted with the witnesses who testify against him, if they are present at the trial, and their testimony must be given in his presence in order that he may cross-examine them in his defense. V. He will be allowed to present witnesses and other proofs he may have in his defense, and to this end the law will allow him the time deemed neces sary and afford him all possible aid to secure the appearance of the wit nesses he may desire, whenever they may be found at the place at which the trial is being held. VI. He will be tried before a judge in public, or by a jury of citizens who can read and write and who live near the place where the crime was committed if same is punishable by more than one year's imprisonment. In all cases the misdemeanors of the press against the public order, or against the exterior or interior safety of the Nation, must be tried by jury. VII. He will be supplied with all data pertinent to the trial which he may ask for in order to formulate his defense. VIII. He will be tried before the expiration of four months if the punishment for the crime committed does not exceed two years imprisonment; and before the expiration of one year if the maximum penalty does exceed that period. IX. He himself, in his defense, or both, as he may desire, may speak in his defense. In case he has no one to. defend him, he may choose his defender or defendors from a list which will be presented to him. If he refuses to name his defender when required to do so after ren dering his preliminary declaration, the judge will appoint one. He may name his defender from the moment of his arrest and have him present at all the hearings of the process; but he will be obliged to have his de fender appear whenever his presence is deemed necessary by the tribunal. X. His imprisonment may not be prolonged because of failure to. pay the fees of his defenders, nor because of any money supplied or loaned to him, neither for civil liability nor for any analogous motive. The first period of his detention while the preliminary investigation is being made, may not be prolonged beyond the limit fixed by law to cover the class of crime in question. The time spent in prison during the process of the trial will be deducted from the term imposed in the final sentence. Art. 21. — The imposition of penalties is the proper and exclusive attri bute of the judicial authority. The persecution of crimes is incumbent on the Prosecuting Attorney's offices and on the judicial police who are un- • der their orders. The administrative authority may punish infractions of municipal and police regulations when such punishment consists of a fine or arrest for not more than thirty-six hours; but. if the fine is not paid, imprisonment for not to exceed fifteen days may be imposed. If the guilty party be a journeyman or day laborer he may not be fined in excess of the amount he earns weekly. Art. 22. — Mutilation, branding, whipping, beating, torture of any kind, excessive fines, confiscation of property, and any other unjust or extor tionate punishments are strictly prohibited. The application of all or part of the property of any person to the payment of civil liabilities re sultant from the commission of a crime, or to the payment of taxes or fines, will not be considered as confiscation when ordered done by the proper judicial authority. The death penalty may not be imposed for political crimes; it may only be imposed on the traitor in time of war with a foreign country, on the parricide, treacherous and premeditated homi- NEW CONSTITUTION OF MEXICO 41 cide, the incendiary, the abductor, the highway robber, the pirate, and on those guilty of grave crimes against military orders. Art. 23. — No criminal trial should have more than three hearings. No one may be tried twice for the same offense, Whether it be a trial which acquits or condemns him. The practice of absolving from the instance is abolished. Art. 24.—Every man is free to profess the religious belief he desires, and to practice the ceremonies, devotions and other acts of his sect, either in the temples or in his home, when such practice does not constitute a transgression of the laws. Every public religious act should be celebrated inside the temples, which are at all times under the supervision of the au thorities. Art. 25. — Correspondence circulating through the mails will be free from examination, and tampering with same will be punished by law. Art. 26. — In time of peace no member of the army may lodge himself in a -private house against the will of the owner, nor exact any loans of any nature whatsoever, In time of war, lodging, beasts of burden, food and other necessary assistance, may be exacted, under the conditions which the corresponding martial law provides. Art. 27. — The lands and waters included within the limits of the Na tional Territory belong originally to. the Nation, which may transfer its ownership to individuals, forming in this manner the private properties. The latter can not be expropriated except when the public good demands ¦ same, and then only when due indemnization is made. The Nation will have at all time the right to put private property to the uses which the public interests demand, such as regulating the use of the natural elements, so as to make an equitative distribution of the public riches, and conserve same. With this object in view necessary measures will be dictated for the division of the large estates,; for the development of the small prop erties; for the creation of -new agricultural communities, with the neces sary waters and lands; for the development of agriculture in general and to avoid the destruction of the natural elements and the damage which the property might suffer. The towns, villages and communities who have no land and water, or have not sufficient to provide necessities for the population, have the right that they be granted such lands and waters, taken from the surrounding properties, always' respecting the small prop erties. In view of this, the grants of lands which have been made to date in conformity with the Decree of January 6, 1915, are hereby confirmed. The acquirement of the private properties necessary to carry out the ob jects expressed in the foregoing will be- considered as having been done for reasons of public utility. The Nation will have direct control Over the minerals or substances which in veins, masses or ore bodies, form deposits of a nature distinct from the earth itself, such as the minerals from which industrial metals and metaloids are extracted; deposits of precious stones, rock-salt and the deposits of salt formed by sea water; the products derived from the decomposition of the rocks when sub- terraneum workings are necessary; the phosphates which can be utilized as fertilizers; coal, petroleum, and all the solvent, liquid and gaseous car bonates of hydrogen. The Nation is also the owner of the waters of the sea within the limits fixed by International Law; the waters of the marshes and estuaries; those of the interior natural lakes which have a constant current; those of the principal rivers and streams from their source to their mouths, if they flow into_tthe sea or cross two or more states; of intermittent streams which cross two or more states; those of the rivers Streams or canons which form national or state boundary lines; those taken out of mines; and the heads and margins of- the foregoing lakes and streams to the extent fixed bylaw. Any other stream not included. in the foregoing will be considered as an integral part of the private prop erty it crosses; but the use of the waters, when such stream passes from one property to another, will be considered a. public utility,, and will be subject, to the regulations which the respective state dictates. In all the cases cited in the foregoing, the dominion of the Nation is inalien- 42 MEXICAN PROPERTIES AND SECURITIES able and imprescriptible, and the Federal Government may only grant concessions to private individuals or civil or commercial companies or ganized in conformity with Mexican laws, on the condition that regu lar works be established for the exploitation of the respective elements, and that all the requisites provided by law be complied with. The ac quiring of ownership of Government lands and waters will be governed by the following provisions: I. Only Mexicans by birth or by natural ization, or Mexican corporations, have a right to acquire dominion over lands, waters, and their dependencies, or to obtain concessions for the exploitation of mines, water power or combustible material in the Re public of Mexico. The state may concede the same right to foreigners, providing they agree in the Department of Foreign Affairs, to consider themselves as Mexicans in all that has to do with said properties, and that they will not invoke the protection of their respective governments in matters relating to these properties; with the understanding that, in case they fail to comply strictly with this agreement, they will lose their rights over the properties they may have acquired by virtue of said agreement, same passing again to the dominion of the Nation. Foreigners may not under any condition acquire direct ownership of lands and waters which are not distant at least one hundred kilometers from a National boundary line, or fifty kilometers from the Coast line. II. Religious societies, known as churches, of any belief whatsoever, may under no circumstances acquire, possess or administrate real estate or properties, nor mortgages on same; those which they now have, either in their own names or in that of a third person, will pass to the dominion of the Nation, and it will be the duty of every person to denounce to the Government any properties known to belong to the churches. Strong presumptive proof will be suf ficient to declare the denouncement well-founded. The temples destined for public worship are the property of the Nation, represented by the Federal Government, who will designate which should continue being set aside for the purpose mentioned. The bishoprics, curacies, seminaries, asylums, or schools kept up by religious societies, convents, or any other building which may have been constructed or intended for the admin istration, propagation or teaching of any religion, will immediately pass, by inherent right, to the dominion of the Nation, to be destined exclusive ly to the public service of fhe Nation or of the states, under their re spective jurisdictions. The temples of public worship erected in future, will be the property of the Nation. III. Public or private charitable in stitutions whose object is to aid the needy, institutions of scientific in vestigation, those for the spreading of knowledge, mutual benefit socie ties, or any others organized for a legitimate purpose, may not acquire, hold or administrate mortgages on property, unless the period of the mort gage exceeds ten years. In no case may such institutions be under the patronage, direction, administration, charge or vigilance of religious cor porations or institutions, nor of a minister of any sect even though he may not be actually exercising his functions. IV. Commercial corpora tions, or stock companies, may not acquire, possess, or administer agricul tural lands. The corporations of this class formed to exploit any other industry, such as factories, mines, petroleum wells, or any other purpose not agricultural, may acquire, possess or administer only the lands strictly necessary for the erection of the buildings destined to the object indicated, which the Executive of the Union, or of the respective state, will fix in each case. V. Banks duly authorized in conformity with the laws governing credit institutions, may hold mortgages on city or agricultural properties, in compliance with the provisions of said laws, but they may not hold as proprietors or administrators more real estate than that entirely necessary to carry out the objects of the •institution; and they may hold transitorily, for the brief period of time fixed by the aforesaid laws, those properties which the tribunals adjudge them in payment of their credits. VI. The co-owners, villages, towns, communities, tribes and other similar institutions that by act and right have their holdings in common, may enjoy in common the lands, forests NEW CONSTITUTION OF MEXICO 43 and waters pertaining to them, of which have been or will be restored to them in compliance with the law of January 6, 1915; meanwhile the law will determine the manner in which the final division of the lands will be m.ade. VII. With exception of the corporations named in Fractions III, IV, and VI, no other civil corporation may own or administrate real estate or mortgages on same, with the only exception of the buildings destined immediately to the object of the institution. The States, the Federal District and the Territories, as also the Municipalities all over the Re public, have full capacity to acquire and possess all the real estate neces sary for public services. The laws of the federation and of the States, in their respective juris dictions, will determine the cases in which it is necessary for reasons of public utility to occupy private property; and in compliance with said laws the Administrative authority will pake the corresponding declaration. Indemnification for the expropriated property will be based on the as sessed value plus ten percent, whether this assessed value has been de clared by the owner or merely tacitly accepted by him by virtue of his having paid his taxes on that basis. The increase in value of the prop erty due to improvements made subsequent to the last assessment should be decided by arbitration or by the tribunals. The same proceeding will apply in the case of objects which do not appear on the assessment lists. All the procedures, dispositions, resolutions, operations of demarcation, concession, judgments, transaction, or auction, which have totally or par tially deprived of their lands, forests and waters, the co-owners, villages, towns, communities, tribes and other corporations of population which still exist since the law of June 25, 1856, are hereby declared null and void, and in the same manner all such future dispositions, resolutions and operations which produce the same effect, will be nullified. As a conse quence, all the lands, forests and waters of which the above named cor porations have been deprived, will be restored to them in accordance with the Decree of January 6, 1915, which will continue in effect as a Constitutional law. In case the lands solicited by one of the corporations above named are not adjudged to them in conformity with the decree of January 6, 1915, as a restitution, such lands will pertain to them as a grant and in no case may such corporation- be deprived of the lands which they need. There are excepted from the nullification above referred to only the lands for which titles were given in the distribution made by virtue of the said law of June 25, 1856, or those held by virtue of a deed by the same person for more than ten years, when the area does not- exceed fifty hectaras. Whatever land there may be in excess of this area should be returned to the community, after due indemnification has been made to the owner. All the laws of restitution decreed by virtue of the fore going will be immediately executed by the Administrative authority. Only members of the community will have the right to the lands distributed, and their rights will be inalienable so long as the lands remain intact, as also their property rights when the final division is made. The ex ercise of the faculties which correspond to the Nation by virtue of the foregoing, will be made effective by judicial procedure; but during this procedure and by order of the corresponding tribunals within a maxi mum period of one month, the Administrative authorities will proceed at once to the occupation, administration, auction or sale of the lands and waters under consideration, and in no case may the acts of these authorities be revoked, except by an executive sentence. During the next Constitutional period the Congress of the Union and the Legislatures of the States within their respective jurisdictions, will make laws govern ing the reparation of the large properties, according to the following basis: (a). The maximum amount of land of which any one individual or regularly established corporation may be the owner will be fixed in each State and Territory, (b). The excess over the amount fixed by law should be divided up by the owner within the limit of time fixed by local laws, and the fractions placed on sale under the conditions ap proved by the Government, in accordance with the same laws. (c). If 44 MEXICAN PROPERTIES AND SECURITIES the proprietor refuses to make the division, the local Government will take charge of same, by means of expropriation. (d). The value of the fractions will be paid in annual installments, including capital and interest, during a period of not less than twenty years, during, which period the new owner may not dispose of property. The annual rate of interest will not exceed five per cent. (e). The owner will be obliged to accept bonds of a special debt guaranteeing the payment for the prop erty expropriated. For this purpose the Congress of the Union will pass a law authorizing the States to create their agrarian debts, (f). The local laws will organize the family patrimony, determine the property which should constitute same, on which basis it will be inalienable and not subject to any embargo or mortgage. All contracts and concessions granted by former Governments since 1876, which have tended to segre gate in the hands of any individual or corporation, lands, waters and other natural riches, are hereby declared revisable, and the Executive of the Nation is authorized to declare them null and void if they imply serious detriment to the public interest. Art. 28. — In the United Mexican States there shall be no monopolies nor privileged places of any kind; nor exemption from taxes; nor pro hibitions with titles of protection to industry; except only those which refer to the coining of. money, to the postoffice, telegraphs and wire less telegraphs, to the emission of bills by a single bank which will be controlled by the Federal Government, and the privileges which for a limited time the law may concede to authors, artists, inventors and those who perfect some invention; that is to say, copyrights and patents, re spectively. As a consequence, the lav/ will severely punish, and the au thorities actively persecute all concentration or monopolization in one or more hands as the articles necessary to life, when the object is to obtain a raise in price; every act or procedure which tends to prevent the public from freely joining in all' classes of production, industry, busi ness, or services; all agreements or combinations in any form whatsoever, whereby producers, manufacturers, merchants, directors of transportation or other service corporations, join together to avoid competition among themselves and oblige the consumer to pay high prices; and in general everything which constitutes an exclusive and undue advantage in favor of one or more persons, to the injury of the public in general or of any social class. Labor Associations formed to protect the interests of the laboring classes do not constitute monopolies. Neither will be con sidered monopolies those associations or co-operative societies of producers who in defense of their interests or of the general interest, join together to sell direct to the foreign markets, National products which are the prin cipal sources of wealth of the region in which they are produced, if they are not articles necessary to life, and if such societies are under the super vision or protection of the Federal or State Government, and if authori zation has been previously secured from the respective legislature. The same legislatures themselves or by order of the Executive, may when the public good demands same, revoke the concessions of the societies or corporations above mentioned. Art. 29. — In cases of intervention, serious disturbances of the public peace, or in other cases which place society in great danger or conflict, only the President of the Republic, with the consent of the cabinet, and with the approval of the Congress of the Union or in the recess of the latter, of the Permanent Commission, may suspend in all or part of the Republic, the guarantees which might be an obstacle to meeting the situation rapidly and easily; but this can only be done for a limited time, through the means of general provisions and without the suspen sion being limited to a determined individual. If the suspension should take place while Congress is in session, the latter may concede the authorizations which it may deem necessary to aid the executive in meet ing the situation. If the suspension should be made in time of recess, the Permanent Commission will convoke Congress without delay, in order that it may grant the necessary authorizations.

All the controversies of civil or criminal order which arise regarding the complying with or application of the Federal laws, or because of treaties celebrated with foreign powers.

Art. 107. — All the controversies mentioned in Article 103 may be car ried on at the instance of the aggrieved party, by means of proceedings and forms of the judicial order which will be determined by a law based on the following provisions: I. The sentence will always be such as only to include private individuals, being limited to supporting and protect ing them in the special case treated of in the complaint, without making any general declaration relative to the law or act underlying same. II. In the civil and criminal trials, except in the cases mentioned 4n---eianse IX, protection may only be granted against definite sentences respect ing which there is no ordinary recourse by virtue of which they may be modified or reformed, always providing that they are in violation of the law, or that the law has been violated during the process of the trial, and a claim has been made opportunely and a protest entered against the re- fusalto rectify same, and that when the violation has been committed at the first hearing it has been alleged at the second, that injury has been done. The Supreme Court, notwithstanding this rule, may supply the deficiency of a complaint in a penal trial, if it is found that there has been a manifest violation of the law against the complainant, that he has been left without defense, or that he has been judged by a law not exactly ap plicable to the case, and that only through negligence the violation has not been duly contested. III. In civil or criminal suits the writ of "Amparo" will issue only if substantial parts of the rules of procedure have been violated and also provided that such violation deprives the pe titioner of the means of defense. IV. In addition to the case mentioned in the foregoing clause, the writ of "Amparo" shall issue only on final judg- 60 MEXICAN PROPERTIES AND SECURITIES ment in a civil suit, if the requirements mentioned in Clause II of this article have been complied with, and when such judgment is contrary to the letter of the law applicable to the case, or in violation of its legal interpretation; when it includes, persons, actions, defenses or matters which have not been the object of the suit, or, lastly, when all these have failed to be included either -because of omission or express refusal. V. In crim inal trials the authorities responsible for the violation must suspend the execution of the final judgment against which the writ of "amparo" has been asked for; to this end the petitioner shall within the time fixed by law, give notice under protest to tell the truth, to the said authorities of the interposition of this recourse, accompanying it with two copies of the petition, one of which shall be delivered to the opposing party and the other filed. VI. The execution of a final judgment in civil suits will only be suspended when the petitioner gives bond to cover damages occasion ed thereby, unless the other party gives a counter bond, to guarantee that the formal conditions previously existing shall be restored, and to pay the corresponding damages in case the "amparo" is granted. In this case the interposition of the writ of "amparo" shall be communicated as pro vided in the foregoing clause. VII. If a writ of "amparo" be asked for against a final judgment, a certified copy of such parts of the record as the petitioner 'desires shall be requested from the authority responsible for the violations; to this there shall be added such parts as the other party may ask for and a clear and brief statement made by the responsible authority showing justification for the act in question, note of this being made on the record. VIII. When the writ of "Amparo" is asked for against a final judgment, the petition must be brought before the Su preme Court; and the petition, together with a copy required by Clause VII shall either be presented to the Supreme Court, or sent through the authority responsible for the violation, or through the district Court of the corresponding State. The Supreme Court will render its decision without any other formality or procedure than the petition, the docu ments presented by the other party, and that of the Attorney General or the Agent he may name in his place, and shall contain no other legal ques tion than that of the complaint. _IX. When the acts of an authority not judicial are involved, or the acts of the judicial authority exercised out side of the suit or after its termination, or acts committed during the suit which are impossible of reparation or which effect persons not parties to the suit, the writ of "amparo" will be asked of the District Court within the jurisdiction of which is located the place where the act in question was committed or attempted; in this case proceedings shall be confined to a report from the authority and a hearing which shall be called for in the same order as that which is issued to call for the report; which hearing must be held as soon as possible and will include the testimony of both parties, arguments of not more than one hour's duration from each side, and the judgment rendered at the same hearing. The decision of the District Court shall be final unless the interested parties appeal to the Supreme Court within the time fixed by law, and following the methods prescribed by Clause VIII. In case the guarantees mentioned in articles 16, 19 and 20 are violated, recourse may be had through the Superior Court of the Court guilty of the breach, or to the corresponding District Court. An appeal against the decision of any of these courts may be made to the Supreme Court. If the District Judge does not reside in the same place as the official guilty of the violation, the judge before whom the petition of "amparo" is submitted will be determined by law; this judge will be authorized to temporarily suspend the execution of the act in question, in accordance with the terms established by law. X. If an official fails to stay the execution of the act in question when he should do so, if he admits an insufficient or improper bond, he will be consigned to the proper authorities, and the civil and penal liability of the official in these cases shall be a joint liability with the person who offers the bond and his surety. XI. If after granting the "amparo" an official proceeds in an act or acts against which the petition of "amparo" was violated, or NEW CONSTITUTION OF MEXICO 61 seeks to make the judgment of the Federal authority non-effective, he will be at once removed from office and consigned to the corresponding District Court for trial. XII. The wardens and jailers who fail to re ceive an authorized copy of the formal order of commitment within the 72 hours mentioned in Article 19, counting from the time the accused party is placed at the disposal of the Court, should call this fact to the attention of the Court as soon as this period has expired, and if within three hours thereafter the proper order is not received, the accused must be set at liberty. Violators of this provision and the Article referred to in the foregoing, will be immediately consigned to the proper authorities. Also any official or agent thereof who fails to place the accused party at the disposition of the court within the next twenty-four hours after the arrest has been made, will be turned over to the corresponding author ity. If the arrest is made at a distance from the place where the Judge re sides, there shall be added to this period the time necessary to make the trip from said place to where the arrest took place.

State Governors and members of the State Legislatures are liable for violation of the Constitution and the Federal laws. The President of the Republic may only be impeached during his term of office for high treason, and serious offenses of the common order. Art. 109. — If the crime is of the common order, the Chamber of Dep uties, acting as a Grand Jury, shall determine, by an absolute majority of the members who form it, whether or not there is any ground for proceeding against the accused party. In case they find there is not, no further action may be taken; but this finding will not be an obstacle to the prosecution of the charge as soon as the Constitutional privilege shall cease, as the finding of the Chamber does not in any way determ ine the merits of the charge. If it is found that grounds exist for prose cution, the accused shall by that fact be removed from office and placed at the disposition of the ordinary courts of justice, except in the case of the President of the Republic who may only be impeached before the Senate, as in the case of an official offense. Art. 110. — High Federal functionaries shall not enjoy Constitutional privileges when on trial for official crimes, misdemeanors or omissions committed in the discharge of another public office or commission, dur ing the term in which the privilege is enjoyed as fixed by law.

Art. 111. — All cases of impeachment shall be tried by the Senate act ing as. a Grand Jury; but such proceedings may not be initiated without previous action brought by the Chamber of Deputies.

When the same crime is punishable -by an additional penalty, the accused will be placed at the disposition of the regular authorities who will try and sentence him in accordance with the" law. In all cases mentioned in this and in the preceding Article, both the decisions of the Grand Jury and the findings of the Chamber of Deputies shall be final. Anyone may denounce offenses of a common 62' MEXICAN PROPERTIES AND SECURITIES order and of an official nature, committed by high Government function aries, before the Chamber of Deputies, and whenever the latter determine that 'good grounds for impeachment before the Seriate exist, a committee shall be appointed from among its members, to sustain the charges brought. The Congress shall as soon as possible enact a law fixing the responsi bility of all Federal officials and employes, declaring as official crimes all acts of omission or commission, which prejudice the public interest and efficient administration, even although these acts may not in the past have been considered as offenses.

Article 4. The unit of mining property is called pertenencia and is a solid of indefinite depth, limited in the earth by the four verticle planes of the projection of a horizontal square of one hundred meters on each side. The mining pertenencia is indivisible for all acts and contracts which af fect the ownership. Article 5. By mining claim is understood the pertenencia or group of contiguous pertenencias, held by virtue of original title or by title of trans ferred ownership, derived from the former. Article 6. If, on locating a mining claim, it should not be possible, by reason of the bounding mining properties, to reduce it to complete per tenencias, the non-reducible portion will be denominated demasia, and it will be considered, for all legal purposes, as composed of as many perten- enci' ¦ ? s there are hectaras contained in its horizontal projection, and the fraction of a hectara remaining will be considered as another pertenencia. . If the non-reducible portion should be less in horizontal projection than a hectara, it will also be called a demasia, and will be considered, for legal purposes, as a pertenencia. The Regulations will. determine the form and terms in which the per tenencias and demasias are to be located. Article 7. The owner of the mining claim has the right to extract and make use of any substance included in article 1, which is found on the sur face or in the subsoil of the mining claim.- Article 8.

If the concurrence of water in the interior of the workings should re sult in the extinction or diminution of springs belonging to other persons, the owners of. the springs may recover the water belonging to them, but without depriving the owner of the mining property of that which he needs for the exploitation of his industry, and may not exact from him any in demnity. The transference or the loss of the ownership of the mining property implies, respectively, the right of the use and benefit of the water which is found in or runs into the interior of the workings.

If in the judgment of the Agent there is not sufficient clearness in the denouncement, he shall request the necessary explanations from the one who presents it, and shall write these in the original, in the duplicate and in the register. Lack of explanations will not be cause for failure to record the denouncement. Article 22. The requisites contained in the foregoing article shall be observed even though denouncements presented simultaneously or succes sively, with regard to the same pertenencias, are concerned, without viola tion of what is provided for in article 24. Article 23. Within the third day after the denouncement has been pre sented the Agent shall determine whether it shall be or shall not be ad mitted. In the affirmative case he shall proceed to duly attend to the peti tion; in the negative case he shall state in writing the reason for his de^- termination, which will be liable to revision by the Department of Fomen to, on petition of the one who denounces. Article 24.

When this requisite has been complied with by the one who denounces, the title will be given him, and said title confers legal ownership of the claim without necessity of other formality. If the one who denounces should not establish the monuments within the period set for such purpose he shall be declared to have incur red delay. Article 28. The Department of Fomento will not approve the petition if the denouncement or the proceedings are defective by reason of infrac tion of the Law or the Regulations, if the infraction is chargeable to the MINING LAWS OF MEXICO 73 one who denounces. In such case, the disapproval of the petition causes the one who denounces to be regarded as having incurred delay. Article 29. If the infraction of the law or of the Regulations should not be chargeable to the one who denounces, the Department of Fomento, in possession of the proofs presented to it and which it will examine in ac cordance with its prudent discretionary power, will grant the restoration of the petition to its primitive state in so far as the defective points are concerned. . Article 30. The Department of Fomento may order that the defects which exist in the denouncement or in the proceedings, be corrected by the proper person, if they do- not involve infractions of this law or the Regula tions. The one who denounces and, in the proper case does not comply with what is prescribed by the Department of Fomento, shall be declared to have abandoned the denouncement. Article 31. In the oases of infraction of the law or the Regulations, or of defects chargeable to the Agent or to the surveyor, the Department of Fomento will make accountable the responsibility of one or the other without annulling the right of the one who denounces to demand from the proper person the indemnity for the loss and injury suffered by him. Article 32. The person who denounces and fails to appear at the as semblies or judicial proceedings established by this law or the Regulations shall be declared to have abandoned his denouncement. The Department of Fomento may, however, excuse the failure if the one who denounces proves that it was due to causes not chargeable to him. In such case the transaction of the petition will be ordered restored to the extent neces sary, but no excuse will be accepted from the one who denounces if he should fail to attend the next assembly or judicial proceedings to which he is summoned. Article 33. The one who denounces and does not incur delay, may abandon his denouncement before the Department of Fomento delivers its definite resolution in the petition. Article 34. The failure to furnish stamps will not cause the suspension of the transaction, the pages of the petition being legalized in the mean time with the seal of the Agency; but the Department of Fomento will de mand the placing of the stamps before delivering in the petition the final resolution which the case demands. If the one who denounces should not furnish the stamps within the period set for the purpose, he shall be de clared to have abandoned the denouncement. Article 35. The failure to pay fees to the Mining Agent in accordance with the terms established in the Regulations, will be cause for declaring that the one who denounces has abandoned the denouncement. Article 36. In every case of abandonment, whether voluntary or through execution of the law or when the one who denounces incurs de lay the deposit constituted on making the denouncement will be applied, in the first place, to payment of stamps, which may bave been omitted on the petition, and in the .second place, to the payment of the fees of the Mining Agent; but if the amount of the deposit should not be sufficient, the one who denounces shall be obliged to pay the difference.

Article 41. In case that the parties choose the administrative means, the transaction of the petition will continue in order that, at the proper time, the Department of Fomento, hearing the one who denounces, and the oppositor, in conformity with what is prescribed by the Regulations, may definitely determine the opposition. Article 42. If the parties should choose the administrative means they may not have recourse, to the judicial; but if -they should choose the latter they may, while executory sentence is not pronounced, submit the oppose tion to the resolution of the Department of Fomento. Article 43. Any opposition different from such as are stated in article 37 must be submitted before the Agency, but this will not suspend the transaction of the petition. The Department of Fomento, when the peti tion passes to its revision, will examine the alleged cause and determine whether it should be taken into consideration or not. In the affirmative case the opposition shall be fully proved and decided, in observance of what is provided in articles 39 to 42. If the Department of Fomento should deny the opposition, it shall proceed as if the latter had not been formulated, and the rights of the oppositor shall remain safe and in full force. Article 44. The Department of Fomento may take into consideration during the revision of the petition the oppositions presented before it pro vided that the oppositor prove that he has not appeared at the Mining Agency for causes which are not chargeable to him. Article 45. It shall be considered that the oppositor who does not ap pear at the compromise meeting has abandoned his opposition. The De partment of Fomento, may, however, excuse the failure to attend if the oppositor proves that such absence was due to causes not chargeable to him.

Ignacio Rodriguez Ramos, S. A. Compania Minera. Consists of property 129 hectares covering the Sierra Almoloya. Ore is mostly silver-lead. Shipments were made in 1915 to Gramby Mine and Smelting Co., at St. Louis, Mo. The Mine extensively developed to a depth of 300 meters, by an 800 foot shaft and 2 main tunnels, with much rich ore in sight. Stock listed on Mexico City Stock Exchange. "Ignacio Rodriguez Ramos" Mining Co., Ltd. Offices: 10 Calle Bucarelli, 23, Mexico, D. F. Mine office: Almoloya, Chih. It is usual in Mexico to compare one mining property with another of greater value, when giving details of the richness of ore bodies, etc. In the case of the Ignacio Rodrigues Ramos property, this is not necessary since the mining properties so far developed have proved to be without a rival in the production of pay ore among the great mines of Mexico. The mining company is better known in Mexico and abroad under the name of "Cigar rero," which is the richest of the group- of mines so far developed, and was discovered by the president of the present company, Santiago Rodrigues, a member of the National School of Engineers of Mexico and the Practical School of Pachuca. The company was organized under the laws of Mexico in 1903, with a .fully paid up capital stock of $700,000, divided into 10,000 shares of $70.00 each. Ing. Santiago Rodrigues, president; Lie. Alfredo E. Rodrigues, vice president. The properties of the company are located m the Sierra Almoloya district of Jimenez, in the State of Chihuahua, and include the following mines and denouncements: "El Cigarrero," "El Rayo," "Cuauhte moc " "La Centella " "Las Carolinas" and "El Relampago." Development work has been done on "El Cigarrero" and "El Rayo" and some work on "Cuauhtemos," in which the same class of ore has been encountered as in the famous "Cigarrero" mine. The undeveloped properties of the company are now being subject to a thorough diamond-drill exploration, which will doubtless make this property one of the longest lived producers in Mexico, 122 MEXICAN PROPERTIES AND SECURITIES since it is considered by prominent mining engineers to have practically inexhaustible ore bodies for the next 50 years. Under the management of Alfredo E. Rodrigues, the value of the company's properties have increased in a notable degree, due to the care and sagacity which has characterized the selection of every improvement for the economical working of the extensive properties. The shipment of ore to the Baca station of the National Lines of Mexico entailed a great expense, until Santiago Rodrigues built a standard gauge railroad from the mines to Baca Station, resulting in great economies in the cost of shipments and permitting a larger extraction of ore at the mines. The company has been paying regular monthly dividends of $10 on each share since February, 1910, and the probabilities are that by the time the Official Mining Directory of Mexico is ready for distribution in Sep tember, the dividends for October will amount to £15 per share.

In the second group too little development work has been done as yet on the properties to enable a proper estimate of their ultimate value to be arrived at, but the vein on La Bufa de Oro outcrops 700 feet above the level of the water in the arroya, is over 40 feet wide, and assays 214s. 6d. per ton. The Rosario mine, on the other hand, is a going concern, with mill, cyanide plant, hoisting engines, tramways, sawmill, workshop, work men's houses, etc., complete. The Rosario mine is, in fact, one of the largest and most famous in Mexico. The mine has had a checkered career, but in ten years from 1837 the bullion produced from it amounted to upwards of £3,000,000. For various reasons, change of ownership and financial, the mine was afterwards worked in only a desultory fashion. It is, however, opened up in seven levels, and has now a reserve of 283,700 tons of ore, valued at £589,500, from which it is estimated a milling profit of over £317,600 will be obtained. The larger portion of this ore is lying at the mill, broken up .ready for immediate treatment. The company also owns 10,000 acres of high class ranching and timber lands, together with the water rights of the Guadalupe River, which flows through the property. Labor is cheap, efficient and abundant. The town of Guadalupe, adjacent to the mine, has a resident judge and registrar, post and telegraph office, and accommodation for any required number of miners.

MINES OF CHIAPAS 137 State of Chiapas Although the southernmost state of the Republic, Chiapas has not be=n distinguished as a mining region, yet there is now a prospect that substan tial operations will soon be under way. The Pan-American Railroad is now in operation from San Geronimo Junction on the Tehuantepec road, the government-owned trans-isthmus line, a short distance inland from the Pacific port of Salina Cruz, along the Pacific littoral to the Guatemala boundary. This road has made available many promising districts. Several American engineers have made explorations in the territory thus opened, and the reports are that the area is favorable to the devlopment of import ant copper and copper-gold mines. There is under construction a wagon road with a 2 per cent grade from the district to Huistla, a station on the Pan-American road. Some mines, largely prospects as yet, are found in the partidos of Mazapa, Amatenango and El Porvenir. Chiapas Mining Co. Formerly operated the Santa Fe mine, 35 miles south of Teopa, Tabasco.
