The Young Engineers in Mexico

Luis Montez mine owner stood on the broad veranda in front of his handsome home looking out over the country sweeping away to the eastward. Gentlemen you are in a land of golden promise began Senor Montez with a smile and a bow. I should call it more than promise. Why not? My beloved country Mexico has been shipping gold to the world ever since the days of Montezuma. Yes; in a mineral sense Mexico has truly a golden history nodded Tom Reade one of the engineers to whom Montez was speaking. And a golden history in every sense added Senor Montez with a quick rush of patriotism. Mexico is the finest country on earth. And though we are neither as numerous in population or as progressive as your own great country still Mexico has greater possibilities than the United States.
