A new series dealing with an idea altogether original in juvenile fiction,--the adventures of a party of bright, enterprising youngsters in a splendid motor car. Their first trip takes them to the dim and mysterious land of Lower California.
Naturally, as one would judge from the title, the lost mine, which proves to be Nat Trevor's rightful inheritance,--occupies much of the interest of the book. But the mine was in the possession of enemies so powerful and wealthy that it taxed the boys' resources to the uttermost to overcome them. How they did so makes absorbing reading.
In this book also, the young motor rangers solve the mystery of the haunted Mexican cabin, and exterminate for all time a strange terror of the mountains which has almost devastated a part of the peninsula.
The Motor Rangers too, have an exciting encounter with Mexican cowboys, which beginning comically, comes very near having a serious termination for all hands. Emphatically "third speed" books.

There is little left of the romantic western life of which our forefathers delighted to read and in which they not infrequently took a part. The author of this series has, however, taken to himself modern conditions in this interesting section of the country in a vital way.
The pages of this book throb with the strenuous outdoor life and pastimes of the ranch and range. The volume is as vivid as a western sunset and as lively as a bucking broncho. What boy will not want to read of the adventures of the ranchers and the boys in Grizzly Pass and the strange strategy of Black Ramon--the Border cattle-rustler which came nearly costing them all their lives?
But the adventures do not terminate at the annihilation of the bridge by the rustler's gang. They elude pursuit for a time by this means but only for a time. The beginning of the end of their depredations comes when Jack and his cowpuncher chum escape from the bell-tower of the old mission. From then on to the conclusion of the book events come as fast as the discharge of an automatic rifle, or the rattling execution of the long roll on a snare-drum. No boy should fail to read how the Mexicans almost succeeded in releasing the pent-up waters of the irrigation dam and ruining a vast track of country. Thoroughly healthy in tone and appealing to manly standards the Border Boys are ideal chums for the wholesome lads of to-day.
