The entire deal had been put through.

The mine had become the property of this group of American capitalists.

Don Luis's home was included in the sale.
The money had been paid over on telegraphic advice from New York.
Don Luis, in turn, had transferred his huge credit to Mexico City by wire, and this fortune now awaited his orders at the capital of the republic.
Soon after Don Luis had returned he called the young engineers aside.
"_Caballeros_," he murmured, "I am delighted with the loyal service you have rendered me.

Before to-day is over I shall hand you drafts on my bank at the capital for twenty thousand dollars each, gold.

Then the transaction will be closed.
