Note 8 — Expeditions to the Province of Tuy
Reading edition
9. Item: That we beseech his Majesty to concede this favor to us, that we pay the tenth of the gold obtained from the mines to be worked by our order, instead of the fifth. The same is to be understood in regard to the mines of silver, quicksilver, and lead that shall be discovered and worked by our order; and that in all mines we be excused from clause 31, law 5, title 13, book 6, of the Recopilacion,8 so that we may have more than two mines in one vein, if there is only a slight space between the different mines, in order to keep the measure of one mine.
