Senator Morgan One of the Directors.
We print in another part of the paper
the offering of shares of La Luz Mining
and Tunnel company one of the greatest
business propositions ever offered in the
magnitude of its operations and the Won
derful resources of the company. La Luz
district in the state of Guanjuato. Mex
leo, was the principal source of wealth
of the ancient monarchs of Mexico. These
mines which look like walled cities, sur
rounded as they are by huge fortifica-
lions, supplied the gold and silver that
made Spain the greatest empire in the
world and government records show that
La Luz and Guanatuanto districts pro-
duced over $l,5O0,0OO00O Operations ceas-
ed because the flow of water could not be
handled by the primitive methods of the
Mexicans, and La Luz Mining and Tunnel
company was organized to drive drainage
tunnels hundreds of feet below the old
workings and restore these mines to their
former prestige as the greatest producers
of gold and silver In the world.

surance that Il will be protected and the
interest of every one safe guarded, rests
