Title

Remarkable Sequel to an Elopement

Description

Press reports about a tragic romance, a fatal accident, and a lucky inheritance of a Lower California mining stock worth £65,000 (more than USD 8.5 million in 2016). Most likely, a plan to lure investors, advertising the fortunes of the mining company. It appeared prior to the announcement of the Cacachilas Mining Company’s public offering of common stock in London, the company never followed through with it, but the story itself reached as far away as New Zealand.
