ABOUT THE RAILROADS.
MORE GOSSIP ABOUT THE CHANCES
OF RATE WAR.
The Notables in Conference Yesterday
In Chicago = Talk About That
Mysterious Road from
Goff Station.

There probably was something settled
one way or the other yesterday in Chi
cago about the threatened rate-war be-
tween the Southern Pacific and the
Santa Fe companies. 1t was learned
here that Third Vice-President j. G.
Stubbs of the former corporation was in
the windy city in consultation with the
Santa Fe officials.
1t was also learned that the Southern
California officials are ready to use
their tomahawk on all rates. As an
nounced in the HERALD of Sunday, they
are prepared at a moments notice to
put oranges, dried fruits and the like
way down, and all in all they seem to
be in the Observation-Disclosures my. shoul-
der-if-you-dare attitude. Every rate
that the Southern Pacific has made ap-
plicable to San Francisco and New York
the Santa Fe has at once put into effect
between Los Angeles and Chicago. A
day is liable to bring forth much inter-
esting news in this connection,
THAT ROAD FROM GoFF.
There appears to be no doubt but that
the road now being built northwest from
Golf station, on the Atlantic and Pacific
railroad, toward Phoebe. will be pushed
rapidly toward completion, says the
Orange Belt. Mr.. Crandall, of the firm
OF Bright & Crandall, said to the writer
on Tuesday that his firm had contract
to grade the roadbed and lay the track
of the road from Golf northward so
miles, and that his contract called for
the completion of the road by the mid
die of February. Mr.. Crandall says he
has no positive information that the
road will be built any further north
ward, but the indications are that it
will be.
From gentleman who has just re-
turned from Pioche, New, we CLEAN the
following news concerning the proposed
new Southern Nevada railroad:
Mr.. Blake, the Denver capitalist, ac-
companied by several officials of the
Atlantic and Pacific railroad, has re-
turned to Denver from that section of
the country lying south of Phoebe, New,
and north of Gof, station on the At
lantic and Pacific.
Their visit was for the purpose of as
certaining the probable output of the
various mines located in the Yellow
Prize mining district, Lincoln county,
New, and traversed by the proposed
line OF railroad which at present is under
construction.
They expressed desire to push the
completion OF the proposed road to
speedy termination, should the owners
OF the various properties execute bonds
to furnish the road 200 tons of ore per
day. Their demand was promptly as
sured them, and committee has gone
to Salt Lake to secure the necessary
bond OF guarantee.
The mining element of the district is
iubilant, as Green Campbell of Horn
Silver fame, who is largely interested in
the above mentioned district, has fire.
quently made the offer to execute bonds
to fulfill the demands asked. 8E
NOTES.
William Wincup, general passenger
and freight agent OF the Terminal com
pany, went east last evening, called by
the sudden illness of a relative.
The only freight agents office in the
United States provided with a private
bar is the room OF General Freight and
Passenger Agent Hynes of the Southern
California. To prevent any miscon-
struction of the above statement it may
be well to add that the bar prevents in
truders from entering a certain door
way, and it is private because that word
is blazoned on it.
