Silver mine tale exposes costly Mexican venture collapse
A New York investor recounts a Mexican silver mine scheme begun amid a boom. Professors, Mexican labor, and a costly smelter failed, leaving about $150,000 wasted while the project yielded little return. The speaker argues greedy capitalists press for quick profits, sidelining practical managers. The piece then shifts to archaic stones in the Orkneys with a romantic ritual described by antiquarian society.
