represented by shares of the par value

treasury stock at par, the proceeds TO
be used for the equipment Of the prop
erty. The company is one of the en-
terprises of Col. W. C. Greene. and he is
president of 1t. The properties are Sit
uated in the district of Guarrero. Chi
huahua, Mexico, and consists of seven
mines containing 5.737 acres. II also has
under concession from the Mexican

ter The company also has concession
for Smelters, and reduction works and
is exempt by the Mexican government
and by the state Of Chihuahua from
paying taxes upon it's machinery and
construction material. and export duty
upon the metals it produces. Still an
other concession gives the company
water rights of $4,000 horsepower upon
the Arcs River thus giving It abunda Mt
waterpower at nominal cost The mines
were worked extensively in prehistoric
times. as is indicated by the remains of
over 200 ancient Aztec furnaces, but their

Structng railroad TO the mines under
