Abstract

This article aims to distinguish the characteristics
of the different mining institutions and competences in the
viceroyalties of the Río de la Plata and New Spain, on the basis
of mining legislation. e sub-delegates will be analyzed as mining
judges in the two viceroyalties to evaluate the competences they
exercised, and the problems arising from the fact that they shared
jurisdiction and faculties with the mining deputies. I will also
analyze the reasons why The Ordinances of the Mines of New
Spain of 1783 was not introduced in the Viceroyalty of Río de La
Plata, apart from the exceptional cases of Salta and Córdoba del
Tucumán.
