1890 Atlantic Pacific Railway Tunnel Ad ~ Shares for Sale

Great old historical magazine print ad offering shares of the Atlantic Pacific Railway Tunnel Co.

The company was in the process of boring a tunnel through the Continental Divide for commercial and transportation purposes.

The ad details the benefits of the tunnel, and lists the yearly return on an initial investment.

From what I understand they suffered many problems during construction including the death of several miners, and the company was unable to stay solvent.
