Engineer Puts Full Speed on Burning
Powder Tran.
FOREIGNERS BLOWN TO ATOMS
Gets the Explosives Away From
the Community, but the Whole
Train Blows Up While Passing n
Railroad Section-house Full of Mexi-
can Workmen.

Douglas, Ariz. Especially Jesus
Garcia, locomotive engineer, saved
Nacozari, Ariz., from destruction by
running burning powder train
through the town at top speed, but
lost his own life and caused the
death of a dozen or more Mexican
section hands through the explosion
of two cars Of powder just as the
flaming train was passing a section
house. John Chisholm, a boy, was
also killed by the explosion.
According to details of the accident
received a powder train on the mar
row gauge railroad of the Pilares
Mine caught fire when near Naco-
zari. In the train we're two open cars
heavily loaded with explosives.
Realizing that the concentrator
and a good part OF the town Of
Nacozari would be destroyed II the
powder exploded there, Engineer
Garcia called to the rest OF the crew
to jump and started to run the train
away from the town. He had taken
1t about a half mile when the ex-
plosion occurred, as the cars were
passing a section-house full of Mexl-
cans. The terrific explosion blew the
house, the train, the men and the en-
gineer to atoms.
Young Chrisholm, not seeing the
fire in the train, sought to steal a
ride on the rear car. It was impos-
sible toesay just how many section
men were killed

Weekly Review Of Ifaas and Latest
Market Reports.
r. Q. DUN 9 COZ Weekly RcxIew

r. G. Dun q Co.'S Weekly Review
OF Trade says:
Contraction has followed the finan-
cial crisis of last week, but only to
the extent compelled by inability to
raise money. There IS no evidence that
confidence has been permanently inn
paired; on the contrary, qualification
is felt that the nation WAS so strong-
ly fortified by decade OF unexampled
prosperity that tho severe strain
made no deeper impression. Many
contemplated developments have
been postponed, and merchants find
rates for commercial paper almost
prohibItive. yet retail trade Is stimu-
lated by more seasonable tempera-
improve with the movement OF the
crops to market.
Conditions In the iron and steel
induCtry are not materially altered.
except that new business is smaller.
Mills continue well occupied on old
contracts, as rule, and there have
been no cancellations. II is probable
that no extensive reduction in activity
will take place this year. A fair
tonnage OF rails is wanted for homo
roads and export and shlpyards are
using plates freely. yet the volume
of new business Is restricted by finan-..
cial stringency. Coke output Is at
the maximum and large contracts are
reported for future delivery. but the
ovens Will quickly respond to any
crrtsilment Of pig iron production.
