LEFT TRACK AT THOMAST0N

Selma, March 27-(Special)-En neer James D. Fitzgerald of the pass enger train on the Myrtiewood branch instantly killed in a wreck which oc- cured this afternoon at 4:3o o'clock on a curve one and a half mile west of Thomaston.
 Express Messinger will Gait of Sel- ma was injured on body and one of his legs was badly mashed.
 A passenger. B. H Durrick. of Tus- caloosa. also sustained slight injuries to his knees.
 The wreck occurred just as the train was going around a curve and the en- zine was thrown from the track and Engineer Fitzgerald was caught under the boiler and horribly mangled. The baggage car and express car were turned half over and both of the pass enger coaches left the track.
 The negro fireman who escaped un- hurt says he saw a piece of iron on the track just as the engine was going around the curve and that when the engine struck 1t left the track.
 Engineer Fitzgerald who was killed has been running over the road for the past twenty years. He leaves a daugh- ter, Mrs. J. F. Buhler and a son, Charles Fitzgerald by his first wife and three children of his second wife.
 Will Gait, the express messenger who was injured this afternoon was hurt two months ag, and the trip he was making today was his second trip since he was injured.
 The news of the wreck was heard here at 6 o'clock and caused consider able excitement as q large number of Selmians were passengers on the train when 1t left here at o'clock. That more passengers or the crew of the train which was in charge of Conduc- tor Aldredge were not hurt seems mir Eculous.
 4 wfecking tfain left nere at 2 O. clock to night for the scene of the WI eek to replace the baggage car and coaches and also to investigate into the obstruction on the track

A censorea nesnatch .

San Salvador. March 27.-The army of Salvador is concentrated on the frontier in complete order with all the necessary war munitiones
 It is stated here that in spite of the reports to the contrary, the troops of Salvador have been victorious in all their encounters with the Nicaraguans. who are unable to advance any fur ther on Tegucigalpa which Is strong ly fortified.
 The censorship here is severe. Even the local newspapers are not allowed to publish news of the victories of President zelaya of Nicaragua.
 It iss asserted that the armies of Salvador and Honduras have not been acting together, probably on account of jealousy between the generals, while the Nicaraguan army Is said to be we'll disciplined.
 The general opinion here is that President Figuero of Salvador must make a supreme effort if he is to save himself from the attacks of zelaya and also from his numerous internal enemies, and that unless Guatemala comes openly to the assistance of Sal- vador, the chances favor the Nicara- guans.
 The censorship in Salvador referred to in tho above may account for the statsment that the Nicarag agngna were unable to continue their advance on Tegucigalpa
 The Nicaraguan minister at Wash ington. March 25 received dispatch from President Zelaya announcing the capture and occupation of Tegucigalpa and a dispatch from Managua. Nic.. March 26, announced that Bonilla himself ordered from Amalapa. the surrender of regucigalpa.

an Average Of Fifty

o. L. Ingels of Rhyolite is enthusi-
astic over the prospect Of the May
flower mine at Bullfrog. AT its 300
foot level" he said, sit is opening up
a ledge which in its 2oO-foot level is
forty feet wide. The average assay OF
the vein 1 found to be $52, but there is
a vein in the center OF the main ledge
which ASSAYS as high as $4,000. This
streak widens out as it proceeds and
within a few feet of where first dis
covered is eleven feet wide. Ten sacks
were shipped to Salt Lake by express
and the property will make several
shipments of this high grade in the
near future

The pay streak proper is about 1S to ~
inches in width, while the ore vein Is
five feet across. The ledge shows values
of about $3.50 per ton.
Valuable Ore Shipment
One of the largest shipments of rich
ore from Goldfield left the Mohawk
mine a few days ago. A full train of
fourteen box cars, loaded with 400 tons
of ore. were sent to the Miller sampler.
This is the initial shipment made by
the company itself, the ore being the
product of development work on the
new shaft. The company values the
shipment at 100000, averaging $7b to
the ton, and after the treatment at the
sampler will sell it to the smelter max
ling the best offer. While it is not the
intention of the company to crowd
shipments, the mine will be a regular
shipper from now on. Work will be
held up for a short time while the new
hoist, lore powerful one than at
present in use and which will be driven
by compressed air, Is being installed.
Immediately after, sinking on the main
shaft will be continued and develop
ment work around the mine begun.
Eventually men will be put to work In
the "jewelry shop slopes of the old
Hayes and Monnette and Frances MO-
hawk leases where there is still an
abundance of the same class OF high
grade ore which the leasers mined at
such great profit.

mines in and around Goldfield are now
running practically on a normal basis.
Where procurable men are being put

place of the old single jacks.

Jumbo Extension, is now down TO a
depth of 275 feet and Will soon reacn
the 300-foot level. 1t is now working
three shifts and on reaching depth OF
200 feet will crosscut to right and left.
IT'S plant has been enlarged by the ad-
dition of an eighteen drill lngersoll-

The shaft Is on an exact line between
the New Jumbo and the Laguna shafts

two mines it should cross the Jumbo
Extension at no great distance from
the shaft. AS there is very little water
in the shaft it has not installed q pump
and has only been prevented from sink
ing further through lack of timbers.
The New Jumbo has now reached
depth of 200 feet, and as it is not ham,
pered by water, will keep on sinking
until it touches the 500-foot mark. 1t

and Is working about fifteen men,.
The Stanton lease on the Jumbo Ex-
