over more than a century. A man
who has searched for quarter OF a
century and expended thousands OF
dollars, thinks that herein is the
key. and that he will soon unlock
the romantic mystery OF the Lost
Louisiana" mines.
Tradition has II that the ancient
Aztecs operated fabulously rich gold
and silver mines in Mexico, using
the metals for implement making,
etc. With the coming OF the Spanish
conquerors. the mines were seized.
Twelve OF the mines are said TO
have been located IN the wild iso-

ish are said to have operated these
with Mexican slave labor until 1898.
Then came rumors OF war with
France.
