Such work can be made invaluable. The railway mileage in Brazil during 1913 was in-creased 1,438, making a total of 15,246 miles in opera-tion, of which 2,185 miles are Government lines, 5,716miles private leased roads, 3,447 miles granted to va-rious enterprises by Government concessions, and3,897 miles operated by private corporations underState Tin Mine in Oruro District of Bolivia. Berenguela Tin District, Bolivia. (*) Bv Harold Allman Lewis. This mining district is situated roughly half-waybetween the towns of Oruro and Cochabamba, or 20leagues east or Oruro, in Bolivia. A branch railwayis being constructed between these two towns, and therail-head is now at Arque, slightly over half-way toCochabamba. The nearest point to the mines is Colcha,a village at ihe foot of the Berenguela mountain, 2,500to ft. below the mines and about a league frommost of them. Once the altaplanicie or plain of Orurois left behind, the country becomes rugged and preci-pitous. The building of the railway on the descentfrom the summit of the hills (nearly 15,000 ft. abovesea-level) bounding the Oruro plateau on the east downas far as the town of Arque may be classed as one ofthe engineering feats of the world. The streams cros-sed are among those that eventually combine to formthe Amazon, discharging into the Atla
