The company holds clear title to $:!00 to $r00 per acre, have paid 12.0'iu acres of hardwood timber. This timber before it was purchas ed was found to contain more than trees to the acre where it ap peared to be of average and uniform densi:y. Thc:-e trees wi'.l average over 2, Oi ii feet of lumber ptr tree, which will amount to 24C,oOO loet per acre, or a total of 2,Si;o,(t(i0.uOo feet. BUT SUPPOSE That it will average only one-fourth of this amount; that will still mean t;o. (mo fret per acre, or a total pro portion of more than T'Kl.OOH.uih) feet. This lumber includes a large proportion of such woods as ma hosany, zapote, chicle, Spanish ce dar, paqtie, and many other equally valuable varieties, some of them selling in the American market at $2."D per thousand. It sells at the railroad in Mexico at $00 to $loi) per thousand, or an average at American railroad mar kets at $200 per thousand. NOW SUPPOSE That the cost of cuitins, milling and marketing this lumber will amount to $:!o per thousand. That will leave an average profit of $o!) per thous and. BUT SUPPOSE . That only one-half of this can be i realized. There will stiil be a net , profit of $2:1 per thousand, which 1 multiplied by Too.ooo, gives a total , profit of $17.r,li0,0i:ii. j This means a net profit of $1,- 4..x.:'.:! on every share of stock in J the company, without even taking into account the considerable sums of money which may be realized i frimi the sale of dye-woods, medic , inal plants, wild rubber, and other j giiins ftlniic!i:ig in the forest.

One-half of $1,4.".$.:;:; U j $72!.l:, or more than three times 3 the par value of the stock. NOW SUPPOSE That it will require 10 years to get this lumbe r emt; this will still mean an annual ave rage divide nd eif $72.!1 per share, etr "tl'j per cent on tho liar value of the stock.

BUT, FURTHER, A developed rubber plantation ts worth more than $1,000 per acre, that price having been offered for a plantation almost adjoining our land but the offer was rejected. Thus, while drawing these dividends, your capital has increased GOO per cent. NOW THEN. We are offering a limited amount of our stock for sale at a liberal dis count for cash, and if you will come in at once, your investment will be even better than these figures would indicate. TO SUM THE MATTER UP. We have 2,SuO,0(i(),000 feet of lum ber in sight. To quiet your doubts. we call it only one-fourth of this, or Tuit.ooo.OOi) feet. This should net us $r,u per thousand, or $::5,000,OUO. We cut this estimate down to one half of that, or $17,500,000. This gives us a preifit of $1,45S.33 on each and every share of stock, which looks so large that we cut" it in two and make it $720.10 per share, ami stiil, basing eiur estimate on the proceeds from 1-10 of the visible re sources, our average annual divi dends will amount to SCVa per cent of the par value of our stock, even if every share were issued and out standing. BUT HERE IS ANOTHRER POINT. Only a small proportion of our stock has been sold, and it is more likely that we will never need to sell more than one-half of our stock. This will neit only double our divi dends, but double our holdings as well, since the unsold steick will be issued as stetck dividends. DOES IT PAY TO INVEST? How have the rich become rich?
