Managua, Nicaragua, April a.
(AP)-American marines faced Z
difficult task today in Wrestling
from Rebel General Augustine San
dino two American gold mines he
was believed to have seized with
their staffs. Fear was expressed
for the safety Of the captured men.
w. ]. Champion, collector Of Gus.
toms at Puerto Cabezas on the
northeast coast, reported two mines
near the headquarters Of the Pts Pts
river had been robbed by rebels.
It was believed that the La Luz
Y Los Angeles and Bonanza mines
were seized. This belief wal
strengthened on receipt Of word
from New York that La Luz y Lot
Angeles mine had been confiscated
and its staff, including three Amer
leans, IN Englishman and . Norwe-
gian, made prisoners.
Recent advices received here after
Sandino captured the town Of Sang
sang on the Coco river said he wa
working toward the Pts Pts river
region In order to obtain food, sup.
plies, ammunition and dynamite
with which to make bombs.
More Troops Needed

of his operations to = new and un-
developed country which 10 almost

The La Luz y Los Angeles minl
has been worked for more than q
years and is considered ono Of the
richest in Nicaragua. President
Diax, who worked Ia the office q
the mine about 90 years ago, said Il
was ono Of the best in the eastern
section.
Sandino destroyed the San Albinc

Of San Francisco, last June afte1

could. All mine material Of any
value was either carried away o.

Should the rebel leader destroy
these two American mines as he die
the one last June it will be great
