A Tramp Killed.

Nine freight cars loaded with grain
and lumber were wrecked on the Bos-
ton & Maine railroad half mile below
the East Ryegate station about 5 80

who were stealing rides were on the
train. One was killed and the other
was injured, but made his escape. The

extra freight were not derailed. A
broken wheel was the probable cause
of the wreck.

THE NORTH STAR LODE
 \ BANNER GOLD MINE
Within Less Than Two Years From Discovery St,500,-
 GOO of Ore Blocked Out,

TUCSON. July 2.-Andrew J. Trum- bo, well known mining man from Yuma county, was in the city yester- day en, route to Imrus, Sonora, for the purpose of inspecting a gold property near that place.
 Mir. Trumbo speaks encOuTagingly of the mining outlook in Yuma coun- ty. especially of development in the North Star lode. aTis was the origi- nal Mayhew property and the basis of his present fortune. With but ten foot hole in the ground he gave g, bond on the group for S30o,000, and received a small payment down. In the meantime during the life of the bond he continued to sink and had reached a depth of twenty feet by the time the bonders were required to make good. Trouble arose be- tween them and Mayhew refused to sign up. Under threat of an attach ment on the property he yielded, but conditioned the agreement by adding an adjoining claim and raised the price to S35O,0OO. This was agreed to and the contract closed
 At this time the main working shaft is down 15O feet and the ore at the bottom of the shaft is said to be worth S7J0 a ton. Between the diff ferent shafts and drifts it is esti- mated that fully one and a half mil lion dollars worth of ore is blocked out. It is said by those conversant
 with the property that it undoubtedly is one of the greatest gold mines in the United States if not in the world
