Altar of the Aztecs (1913)

A picturesque and romantic story dealing with the strange adventures encountered by Edwin Dalton, a young American mining engineer in the ancient silver mines of the Aztecs in Sonoma, Old Mexico. It starts with a brilliant social function, given by Juan Caballes, an Americanized descendant of the old Spanish Aztecs, and now a wealthy mine owner on the New York Stock Exchange. This interesting story is carried through, scene after scene, of original and gripping incidents and picturesque settings, until at last the hero finds himself imprisoned in the tumble-down silver mine in far-off Cordilleras, Mexico.
