A copper mining project in
/Mexico founded by
/FranciscoDAnconia. Francisco's reputation as a businessman is so great that investors flock to him, begging to invest money in the enterprise. Investors include
/JamesTaggart and
/OrrenBoyle.
/JamesTaggart goes so far as to build a new branch of
/TaggartTranscontinental, the
/SanSebastianLine, to serve the mines, sinking $30 million into the project. When the development of the mines appears complete, the Mexican government nationalizes them as well as the
/SanSebastianLine, only to discover there is no copper and there never was.
