Brakeman Mudge and Engineer McGinnis
are at the hospital in El Paso. The former will
be removed to San Marcial soon as his condition
permits. He is known to most business men in
Silver City as he acted as agent here during
January of this year.
John Maddox, a well known miner of San
Pedro' District, fell down a shaft in the Allan
Story turquoise mine, and was killed. He was
engaged in the bottom of the shaft, seventy-five
feet deep, and had fired the last blast of the
day and started up the shaft in the bucket when
the rope broke and let him fall, a distance of
about sixty feet. Scarcely had his body struck
the bottom of the shaft when the blast of giant
powder he had but a few momens before set
a match to, exploded. Death was almost in-
stantaneous. ,
