How did America build the Panama Canal?

The French were the first to try and build a canal across South America, starting in 1882. Before they could start work, they needed to secure a concession from the Columbian government, which controlled Panama at that time. However, their project failed, thousands of workers died (mainly from disease,) and the company went bankrupt six years later, in 1888. A Frenchman named Philippe Bunau-Varilla managed to keep the effort from collapsing entirely, and looked for another party to take up the concession. The United States, which was also interested in building a canal, negotiated to buy the concession from the French. However, Columbia refused the sale. Meanwhile, nationalism was stirring in Panama. An agreement was made with the US government that if the US would help Panama gain their independence, they would allow the canal to be built. In 1903, Panama became its own country, and the United States immediately recognized the new government. Columbia sent troops to reclaim Panama, but US warships prevented them from landing. After the United States helped Panama win its independence, a treaty was immediately negotiated to allow the US to build a canal. The treaty granted considerably more to the US then the failed agreement with Columbia had, including rights to use military within Panama and US control of the Canal Zone in perpetuity. In essence, the Canal Zone would be part of the US in all but name. However, the man who signed for the Panamanians, the Frenchman Bunau-Varilla, was not part of the official delegation from the new Panamanian government, and some Panamanians felt that the rights granted to the US in the treaty were excessive.

Litigation. Get a lawyer and challenge the disposition rights, as well as the "intent" of the will, if any. This will tie up the sale by quite some time. Challenge the "Mineral Rights" of the land and you've got quite a delay.


Do you pay taxes on mineral rights?

It's income so yes you have to pay income tax on mineral rights sales. If you have mineral rights sales, I strongly suggest that you have your taxes done by a professional who is familiar and experienced in dealing with mineral rights. You are allowed to claim a deduction for a depletion allowance. Mineral rights sales can be reported as a royalty or as a capital gain sale depending on several factors even the type of minerals being sold but mostly on how the sale is structured.
