CUBAN LAND ALL RIGHT.

E. J. Wilcox, who bought 100 aqres of land in the central part of Cuba in June of last year, at the price of $lO per acre, has just received a letter from a big real estate firm asking if he would accept $25 per acre for same. A railroad has been surveyed (and the money to build it is now up),which will pass quite close to his land, which will further increase its value when built. Mr. Wilcox confidently expects to be able to sell at SSO or more per acre within another year, which would make him a clear profit of 400 per cent, on his investment. Asugarmill or a railroad, or both, is what makes land valuable in Cuba. Mr. Wilcox has the agency for a “Thousand Dollar Club” whereby investors may join issues in the purchase of 5,000 or more acres, upon which are to be built both a sugar-mill and a railroad, which he says will absolutely net every investor 500 per cent, within two years.
