Reinert of the Oaxaca Onyx Co. At the summit at Las Lolas orchid - just min of the valley of Oaxaca. At Magdalena we an received by the Onyx Co and treated to Champagne.

The Onyx mines at Magdalena are one in Jocotitlán. I'm on a flat ledge upon a ridge for a day. We had to hustle ourselves away to start at five P.M.
