Miners at Work. PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED BuUcliit of .Vims, \o\ I, Xo. 1.—This pub- lication was prepared liy Si'. Pabio Ortega, mining engineer, and the publication is a re- port of the recently created Bureau of mines which was organized as a bureau under the direction of the Secretary of Agriculture. The bulletin contains a great deal of information which hitherto has not been available be- cause it was in the archives of the Depart- ment in the form of various papers printed in Spanish, French and English. The publica- tion gives a complete statement of the condi- tion of the mining industry prior to 1885, and it gives also a complete statement of the legis- lation i)rior to 1883 affecting the mining in- dustry, and the information is also arranged to cover the mining industry up to December 31, 1915. There is a valuable digest of the laws of Cuba, which have to do with mining and concessions for mining. The principal mines in operation at the present time are fully described and photographs arc given of the working of these mines. In the statistical section, statements are compiled which give the mining concessions by provinces, prior to 1899, and also the same information from 1899 to 1915, and the mines and concessions authorized in 1915 are given in a separate table. These tables give the name of the mine, the owner of the concession, the area of the property, the location and date of con- cession and also the class of ore mined. The volume also has a map of the province of Pinar del Rio showing the location of the con- ce,ssions for that province.
